Discraft Big Z Thrasher Distance Driver 167–169g | High-Speed Long-Range Disc

Meet the Discraft Big Z Thrasher Distance Driver

The Discraft Big Z Thrasher is designed for players who want to push distance with a driver that offers a forgiving flight profile. With a top speed of 12 and a glide of 5, the Thrasher encourages clean, aim-driven throws while moving through the air with confidence. It turns slightly on release (Turn -3) and finishes with a modest fade (Fade 2), all while maintaining a stable feel (Stability 0.4). Color variations occur between batches, and weights range from 160 to 175.1 grams, even though the model is commonly associated with the 167–169g range. On many courses, this combination of speed, control, and distance helps players convert more throws into longer flights without sacrificing accuracy.
