Flight Numbers & Performance
The Nuke SS is defined by its dramatic high-speed turn and equally pronounced low-speed fade. Operating on flight numbers of 13 | 5 | -3 | 3 (with a Discraft Stability Rating of 1.0), it features the same massive 2.5 cm rim as the standard Nuke but requires significantly less effort to execute a full flight.

How the ESP Nuke SS fits your game:
- For Intermediate Players (250-350 ft): Initiates a massive, high-glide S-curve that sweeps out wide over the fairway before recovering near the target line, unlocking distance that normally requires professional arm speed.
- For Advanced Throwers: Big-arm players will find it too sensitive to crush flat on windy days, but it serves beautifully as a long-pushing tailwind driver or as a go-to choice for massive backhand rollers down open fields.
- Out-of-the-Box Hyzer Flips: Because of the ESP plastic, this disc wants to flip up and glide immediately, requiring zero break-in time to find its sweet spot.
The ESP Plastic Advantage
Discraft’s ESP plastic is a highly sought-after premium polymer that blends elite durability with a softer, tackier feel in the hand. The ESP Nuke SS offers a slightly gummier, highly comfortable premium grip that allows players to dig their fingers into the ultra-wide 2.5 cm rim for maximum snap. Unlike stiffer translucent plastics that take months to season, ESP shows its true understable characteristics instantly.
Explore Other Nuke SS Plastics
Because of its ultra-wide rim, the cooling process heavily dictates the Nuke SS's flight path across different polymer blends. Check out these other premium options:
- Z Line Nuke SS: The most overstable out-of-the-box configuration. Maintains excellent torque resistance and slowly seasons into its true understable numbers over time.
- Titanium (Ti) Nuke SS: Features a smooth, pearlescent finish. Titanium runs typically yield the highest degree of glide and flex, pushing distance to the absolute maximum.
- Mega Glo Nuke SS: Specifically engineered for night play. It tends to sit near the top of the stability spectrum, holding straight against subtle headwinds before executing a heavy fade.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the standard Nuke and the Nuke SS?
The "SS" stands for Super Straight, signifying a more understable version of the mold. While the standard Nuke (13/5/-1/3) is highly overstable and requires professional arm speed, the Nuke SS (13/5/-3/3) features a dramatic high-speed turn. This makes it significantly more accessible for intermediate players seeking full S-curve flights.
How does the ESP Nuke SS fly out of the box?
The ESP Nuke SS shows its understable characteristics instantly. Unlike stiffer plastics that need to beat in, the ESP run is perfect for smooth hyzer-flips and massive, sweeping turnovers from the very first throw.
Is the Nuke SS a good disc for beginners?
A 13-speed driver with a 2.5 cm rim is generally too fast for absolute beginners. However, for developing players who have mastered slower fairway drivers and are looking to step up to their first maximum distance driver, the Nuke SS is a fantastic, accessible choice that won't just instantly fade to the ground.
