That overstable edge slices right through the wind instead of getting tossed around, making it a reliable choice when the weather gets nasty at league night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the Raptor Fits in the Discraft Lineup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Shop the overstable Discraft Z Force distance driver\" href=\"\/products\/discraft-z-force\"\u003eDiscraft Z Force\u003c\/a\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you love the predictable, hard fade of the Raptor but need to push further down the fairway, the 12-speed Force is your big brother driver.
