Discraft Big Z Predator 173-174g Distance Driver – Speed 9, Glide 4, Turn 1, Fade 4

Precision distance with a dependable finish

The Predator from Discraft is a fast overstable distance driver designed to pair power with control. Packaged in Big Z plastic and featuring the 2020 redesigned stamp, it combines a confident feel in hand with a flight that tends to hold its line and finish with authority. Colors and stamps vary by production batch, but the core idea remains a disc you can trust when distance is on the line.

Flight traits at a glance

• Speed 9 and a glide of 4 help you plan long-range shots with forward momentum
• Turn of 1 means a minimal early turn, keeping the disc from flipping over under pressure
• Fade of 4 delivers a pronounced end of flight, promoting a reliable finish
• Stability around 2.5 offers steady control even when you power up your throw
• Designed to be overstable yet forgiving enough for players learning to harness power

Real-life use scenarios

Think of the Predator as a workhorse for distance-oriented lines where you need a predictable response. It shines on long holes where a controlled, finishing fade helps you carve out a clear route. In windy conditions, the extra stability can help keep your line on track without excessive turnover, while still allowing you to shape aggressive hyzers when the situation calls for them.

Plastic, weight, and on-course notes

Big Z plastic provides a crisp release and a durable feel that many players appreciate for park-and-throw sessions. This listing notes a weight range around 173–174 g, with broader production offering weights within 160–176 g. Color and stamp variations are common across batches, so expect some visual variety while enjoying the same flight fundamentals.

Why consider the Predator for your bag

If you value distance with a stable, finishing fade and a disc that responds well to solid power, the Predator is worth exploring. Use it to extend your reach on open fairways, or as a reliable option on approaches where you want distance but still control. It pairs well with other drivers that cover different lines, helping you round out a versatile arsenal without overcommitting to a single flight path.
