Discraft ESP Vulture 10 | 5 | 0 | 2
The Discraft ESP Vulture is a versatile 10-speed hybrid driver that blends the control of a fairway driver with the distance potential of a wide-rim driver. Commonly described by pros and players as a "well-seasoned Predator," the Vulture trades away extreme overstability for improved glide and shot-shaping ability down the fairway. On a flat release, it holds a straight line under power before settling into a smooth, forward-pushing low-speed fade. Molded in Discraft's swirled ESP plastic, this version offers a tackier grip out of the box and seasons slightly faster than stiffer plastics, unlocking extra glide and workable flex over time.

Flight Numbers
The Vulture sits in a sweet spot for players looking for distance without sacrificing placement accuracy. At a speed 10, its comfortable medium-width rim is easy to grip and release cleanly. A glide rating of 5 helps it carry deep into fairways, while the 0 high-speed turn keeps it tracking straight in mild winds. The 2 low-speed fade delivers a gradual, controlled finish that keeps your placement predictable.

The ESP Vulture delivers:
- Enhanced Grip: A soft, opaque plastic feel that yields slightly under thumb pressure for a secure grip in cold, damp, or humid conditions.
- Workable S-Curve Potential: As it seasons, it unlocks a subtle high-speed turn that helps power throwers shape long, panning flex lines.
- Medium Rim Comfort: Sits naturally in the hand for both power backhands and sidearm releases.
It excels at:
- Straight placement drives down tight wooded fairways where control is essential.
- Smooth forehand lines that need to carry flat before checking up predictably.
- Controlled hyzer flips or subtle flex shots as the plastic breaks in.
The ESP Plastic Advantage
ESP is Discraft's flagship opaque premium blend, celebrated for its high-contrast color swirls and comfortable grip. Compared to glassy, rigid translucent blends, ESP plastic yields slightly to thumb pressure, providing superior tactile feedback during your release. While it remains highly durable against tree strikes and ground scuffs, ESP seasons at a slightly faster rate than Z Line. This gradual break-in period allows the disc to develop extra glide and a fraction more turn, making it a favorite for players who like to shape complex lines.
How the ESP Vulture Compares Across Blends
- Vs the Discraft Z Line Vulture: Z Line is a firmer, translucent plastic that holds its original factory overstability longer. The ESP Vulture provides a tackier grip, eye-catching visual swirls, and seasons slightly faster into a workable workhorse driver.
- Vs the Discraft Big Z Vulture: Big Z features a pearlescent sheen and large graphic artwork with a slightly firmer feel than standard ESP.
Frequently Asked Questions About the ESP Vulture
How does the ESP Vulture perform in cold or wet weather?
ESP plastic is one of Discraft's best options for adverse weather. Its slightly softer, tackier surface maintains solid traction even when your hands are cold or moisture is on the flight plate.
How quickly will the ESP Vulture beat in?
While it is a highly durable premium plastic that takes months of regular play to season, it will break in faster than Z Line. As it seasons, it maintains its 2 fade while picking up a touch of high-speed turn, making it even more workable for distance.
Is this disc good for sidearm/forehand throwers?
Yes. The medium rim width and clean underside profile allow for a smooth release on sidearm throws without catching on your fingers.
