Discraft Big Z Crank 170-172 Gram Distance Driver Golf Disc

Overview

The Discraft Big Z Crank sets a new standard for distance drivers with a high-speed profile and a thoughtfully balanced flight. Its flight numbers—Speed 13, Glide 5, Turn -2, Fade 2, and Stability 1.3—come together to produce fast, controlled arcs that can cover substantial ground. Please note: disc colors and stamps vary, with a weight range of 160-175.1 g. This combination makes the Crank a versatile choice for players seeking power, consistency, and long-range options on the course.

Designed to reward power while remaining approachable for a wide range of players, the Crank excels in scenarios that demand both acceleration and forgiveness. It shines when throwing through open fairways, cutting through light winds, or threading turning shots that finish with a stable fade. The blend of speed and stability helps players transform a strong release into long, maintainable flight paths.

Feel and handling: the Big Z plastic delivers a firm, confident grip with a clean rim feel that responds to release tempo. A well‑timed throw can yield a pronounced, straight-to-turning arc that ends in a reliable fade. The Crank’s profile tends to resist early turn on power throws, helping you shape a predictable flight path.

Practice notes: begin with controlled power throws to dial in release angle, then build toward full speed for deeper distance. Pair the Crank with other drivers to map your own flight goals and discover the best angles for your game.
