It's a flat-topped, beefy 5-speed that fights through flexes and headwinds and finishes with a hard, dependable fade, so it's perfect for forehands, scramble shots and wind. ESP plastic gives it great grip and durability, and this page also holds the bendy Super FLX run.

The 0 turn means it won't turn over even when you throw it hard or into a headwind, the 3 glide keeps it from floating past your target, and the 4 fade brings it back hard and early every time. It's 21.7 cm across and 1.6 cm tall with a flat top, a 1.3 cm rim width and a 1.2 cm rim depth, and it was PDGA approved on April 22, 2024. That makes it a big, flat midrange that sits well in the hand and snaps out clean on forehands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSpeed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGlide\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eTurn\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eFade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ESP Swarm delivers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWind-Fighting Stability:\u003c\/strong\u003e It holds its line into headwinds and finishes with a hard, dependable fade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorque Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e It handles hard forehands and power throws without turning over.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlat, Comfortable Grip:\u003c\/strong\u003e The flat top and big diameter sit well in the hand for both backhands and forehands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt excels at:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForehand approaches and scramble shots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadwind upshots and short drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlex lines that need to fight back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHyzer lines where you can't afford to miss right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe ESP Plastic Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eESP is Discraft's premium opaque plastic.

This page also has the Super FLX run, Discraft's bendier ESP Super FLX blend. It grips even better on cold mornings, bends instead of cracking on tree hits and lays down softer without big skips.
