Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Ethos Pathfinder compare to a Z Buzzz?
They are incredibly similar! Both are molded in highly durable, translucent premium plastics and serve as the straight-flying workhorse midrange in a player's bag. Many players feel the Pathfinder has a slightly flatter top, but you can confidently swap a Z Buzzz for an Ethos Pathfinder without missing a beat.
Is the Ethos Pathfinder good for forehands?
Yes. The flat profile and smooth, beadless under-rim make it very comfortable for a forehand grip. While it is a neutral disc, it possesses enough torque resistance to handle smooth, touch sidearm approaches without immediately rolling over.
