Discraft ESP Nuke SS Distance Driver 167-169g | Understable, Straight-Flight Golf Disc

Overview

Meet the ESP Nuke SS distance driver from Discraft. This understable, straight-flying variant sits beneath the peak speed models and is designed to convert a smoother release into meaningful distance. While it shares the Nuke lineage, the SS version emphasizes an easier flip and a consistent path, helping you experiment with release angle and tempo without chasing a stubborn fade. The 167-169 gram range is typical for players seeking a balance between speed and control, and ESP plastic adds durability and grip. Colors and stamps vary, giving each disc a distinctive feel on the practice field or course.

On the course

In play, this disc tends to turn over more readily than faster, over-stable drivers, making it a solid option for longer throws with a forgiving finish. It supports a straight-line flight that still ends with control, helping you manage distance across a range of course layouts.

• Open fairway drives with a mild turnover to maximize distance
• Reliable return to a soft landing on the fairway with a controlled finish
• Suitable for players seeking distance while preserving shot selection and accuracy

Throwing tips

For best results, start with a clean reach-back and a smooth release. A slight flip of the nose or a flat release can encourage the desirable turnover; adjust tempo to suit your arm speed and the wind.

• Grip with a light touch to avoid early overpowering
• Keep the release relatively level to promote flip to the turnover
• Experiment with slight anhyzer or flat throws to line up the finish

Material and care

ESP plastic offers a reliable grip and durability in varied conditions, with color and stamp variations that provide a unique feel to each disc. Proper care helps maintain flight characteristics over time.
