Discraft Z Avenger SS 170-172g Distance Driver – Beginner Friendly Disc Golf

Overview

The Discraft Z Avenger SS is a lightweight understable distance driver designed for players who want longer flights with a forgiving release. In the 170–172 g range, this disc is easy to grip and comfortable to power through, making it a solid pick for both practice rounds and real-world courses. Its design invites a smooth, confident throw that opens up opportunities beyond your standard straight drive.

Flight characteristics

Thanks to its understable profile, the Avenger SS rewards a clean, flat release with a natural turn. When you commit to power, you can expect a measurable turn that extends your carry distance on open lines and creates potential for a controlled distance roller on uneven fairways. The disc’s precision-in-hand feel helps players shape lines without needing a high arm speed.

• Understable feel helps initiate a turn without forcing a strong snap
• Longer flights with a gentle finish, reducing abrupt fading on pass-through shots
• Support for distance rollers when thrown with power, expanding shot options
