Discraft Paul McBeth Hades Driver 170-172g - Understable Distance Disc

Meet the Discraft Paul McBeth Hades Driver

Designed as an understable distance driver, the Hades is built to deliver big air and a forgiving finish. It serves as a companion to Discraft's Zeus, offering more glide and a smoother fade that helps you push past the typical distance barrier on long holes.

In your hand, the Big Z plastic has a crisp feel and a bright flight that becomes clearly visible at the apex of the throw. Off the release, you sense a lift that sustains tempo and line, then a controlled fade that lands softly on the fairway or beyond the basket if the wind cooperates.

Flight characteristics you might notice

• High, buoyant glide that keeps the disc aloft through most of the flight path.
• Understable tendencies compared to Zeus, making it easier to shape an initial turn for bigger distance with less effort.
• Fade that is predictable and controllable, helping you navigate through gaps on wide open or tight lines.

Real-world use cases

For players who want to maximize distance without sacrificing control, Hades can be a reliable option on long fairways. On windy days, its understability can help the disc hold a workable line while still finishing with a discernible end.

• Long straight drives that transition into a gentle finish toward the target.
• Mid-range approaches from the edge of the tee where you need extra glide and a gentle fade.
• Shots requiring a large air time, such as openers on long holes that bend to the right or left.

Bag considerations

Note that disc weights, colors, and foils vary by batch. The 170–172 g range is typical for this model, but each run can offer a different look and feel. When selecting, consider the weight your current bag favors and the visibility you prefer on the course.
