The Nuke SS (Super Straight) is a 13-speed maximum distance driver meticulously crafted to deliver the massive speed of the original Nuke rim to developing, intermediate, and lower-arm-speed players. Released as the understable counterpart in the legendary Nuke family, it functions as a highly accessible \"distance machine.\" Molded in Discraft's ultra-durable, translucent Z Line plastic, this specific run represents the most overstable out-of-the-box configuration in the Nuke SS lineup, maintaining excellent torque resistance while slowly seasoning into a massive S-curve bomber.

Because of the cooling process associated with its ultra-wide rim, Z Line produces the most overstable stock configuration of the Nuke SS. It maintains excellent torque resistance out of the box and takes time to slowly season into its true understable flight numbers.
