Discraft Z Line Buzzz 5 | 4 | -1 | 1
If you ask any experienced player what midrange you need to throw, they are going to tell you to get a Buzzz. The thing just goes dead straight. You throw it flat, it stays flat. You put it on a sweeping anhyzer, it holds that angle most of the way before settling down flat. It is easily one of the best disc to help you learn your release angles. If you want to check out other plastic blends, take a look at our full Discraft Buzzz Collection, or see everything we have in our main disc golf midranges collection. Best part? We take photos of every single disc and weigh them ourselves, so the exact one you click on is the one that shows up at your door.
Flight Numbers
The flight numbers on a Buzzz tell you exactly how it behaves in the air. At a 5 speed, you do not have to throw your arm off to get it down the fairway. It has just enough glide to keep floating without drifting offline, and that mild high-speed turn coupled with a soft finishing fade means it goes right where you point it.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 4 | -1 | 1 |
The Buzzz delivers:
- Laser-Straight Lines: Ripped flat with decent power, it locks onto a rope and stays there until it drops.
- Great Hand Feel: The rim shape sits perfectly in a power grip, giving you a clean, repeatable release every throw.
- Predictable Fade: It does not dump or skip hard at the end of its flight; it just slows down and lands flat.
It excels at:
- Hitting tight gaps in the woods where you cannot afford to fade out early.
- Soft, tracking turnover shots that need to pan right without rolling over.
- One-disc rounds when you just want to carry a single mold for tee shots, approaches, and putts.
The Z Line Plastic Advantage
Z Line is that classic clear, hard plastic Discraft makes. It is awesome because you can smash it directly into a first-available tree at full speed and the disc will not careāit keeps that same straight flight path for months, if not years. It gives you a smooth release out of the hand, though it can get a little slick if you are playing in the early morning dew or freezing winter weather.
How the Buzzz Fits in the Discraft Lineup
- Vs the Discraft ESP Buzzz: The ESP run feels a bit stickier in the hand and breaks in faster. An ESP Buzzz will start to get a tiny bit of natural turn a lot quicker, while this Z Line run stays straight-to-stable much longer.
- Vs the Discraft Z Line Buzzz SS: The Buzzz SS is built to be straighter to understable out of the box. Instead of having to force a standard Buzzz over on an anhyzer angle, the SS naturally drifts to the right out of your hand with a much softer finish, when thrown hard.
- Vs the Innova Roc3: The Roc3 relies on a big bead on the bottom rim that completely changes how you grip it. The Buzzz has a smooth, beadless edge underneath, which feels way cleaner for a lot of players' hands.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Discraft Buzzz
Does Z Line plastic make the Buzzz fly different?
Yes, Z Line makes the Buzzz stay stable for a longer time. Brand new Z Line runs will fight against turning over in a headwind and keep their gentle finishing fade a lot longer than softer plastics like ESP or baseline blends.
Does the Buzzz have a bead on the rim?
No, it is completely beadless. The bottom edge of the rim is totally smooth and rounded. That is a major reason why it feels so comfortable for backhand power grips and sidearm finger stacks alike.
How long does it take to break in a Z Line Buzzz?
It takes a while. Z Line is tough as nails, so you will need to throw it heavily for a few months before it begins to lose its fresh fade and season into that perfect, dead-straight sweet spot.
