Discraft Z Mantis 160-166 Gram Distance Driver Golf Disc - Straight Flight

Overview

Meet the Discraft Z Mantis, a purposefully understable distance driver designed to help you carve open fairways with more predictable lines. Built on a legacy from the 2013 Ace Race, this disc balances a compact rim with an approachable feel, making it a solid choice for players who want long, straight flights with a touch of fade when needed.

Flight characteristics

• Speed 8, Glide 4, Turn -2, Fade 2, Stability 0.8
• Understable profile encourages early turn and smooth extension off the tee
• Modest rim size for comfortable release and consistent grip

Note: Disc colors and stamps vary, and the weight range is listed as 160-176g to accommodate different players’ preferences and wind conditions.

Design, feel, and real-life use

The Mantis is crafted for players who want to shape their lines on open fairways. Its understable flight path helps you reach longer distances with a natural tendency to turn away from the lead edge, then finish with a controlled fade. The combination of a relatively modest rim and steady stability supports a stable release that feels reliable during practice and on course.

• Great for straight-line drives where you want to minimize late-angle deviations
• Helpful when you’re navigating gentle doglegs or mid-range fairways

Use cases and scenarios

Imagine standing on a wide, open fairway with room to push off a clean, clean release. The Mantis can help you gain distance while maintaining line integrity. It’s also suitable for fields work or training sessions where consistent hand feel and predictable turnover are beneficial.

Specs and availability

In addition to its flight numbers, the Mantis is tied to a storied history as an Ace Race disc, offering a touch of collectibility along with practical performance. Availability includes a range of colors and stamps, so you may see some variation from batch to batch.
