    It's a Buzzz!!

    The Z-FLX plastic is especially soft, gummy and easy to throw. They also have what seems to be a bit of a flatter dome. I carry two of these in my bag and use them for various RHBH and RHFH shots!

     

    Beginners will find this disc stable, while more seasoned players will find it more straight flying with a little fade at the end. This is a good point-and-shoot disc, although my favorite disc of this variety is still the Mako.

    If someone wanted to carry a single Buzzz in one blend of plastic, I'd have to recommend the Z FLX plastic.  It has the predictable flight of a Buzzz with just a touch less glide and it will fly the same way after hundreds of tree hits.  I also love the grip in summer and winter conditions.

    I can give this disc everything I've got and as long as I start it on a little bit of a hyzer it will never flip past flat, even in the wind.  Most of the time it won't even flip up to flat, just holding whatever line I put it on.  Compared to other types of plastic I've tried with the Buzzz, the Z FLX seems to be the most stable.  I'd love to see Discraft bring back ESP FLX but in the mean time, Z FLX is the perfect combination of grip and durability.

    If you haven't thrown a Buzzz yet, what are you waiting for? ;)

    I threw my first Ace with this disc, I always have one in my bag for its reliability alone. It doesn't surprise me that it it's one of the most saught after midrange today!! That being said I would reccomend this to just about anyone.

    My first Ace disc!!! Strait flyer when thrown with power, with a reliable fade. I am very happy with the Zflex material. Very supple feel, not overly floppy, but still has spring. Great for winter, I would definitely suggest this disc yo anyone.

    The Z FLX Buzzz was a cool disc. I can't say I could notice a difference between a Z FLX Buzzz and a Z Buzzz other than the plastic feel.

    Initial Impression: "Yep, that's a Buzzz."

    Feel in the Hand: The Z FLX Buzzz, like other premium plastic Buzzz's, was really flat. In the hand it feels almost exactly like a Crystal (CryZtal) Z Buzzz, but when you use your other hand to test the flexibility It compares to an ESP FLX Buzzz. The ESP FLX Buzzz's are more flexible than the Z FLX Buzzz's. 

    Flight Characteristics: Like I said before, this is exactly a Buzzz. The Buzzz has such a unique combination of glide and stability that it can be fairly easy to tell when someone else throws a Buzzz. The Z FLX Buzzz does exactly that. There is an incredible amount of glide, but it is hard to call this disc over or understable, becase it really isn't either of those things. It will flip like an understable disc with Off Axis Torque or too much power, but when thrown hard and clean this disc will fly dead straight no matter how hard it's thrown. Like every Buzzz, there is a small but dependable fade at the end of the flight.

    Conclusion: The reason I don't give the Z FLX Buzzz an exceptional review is because of the flexibility of the plastic type. I have never liked floppy or flexible discs; so G-Star, 350Rx, ESP FLX, Fluid/Frost/Elasto, and other similar plastics have never been my favorite to throw. I prefer slick and stiff discs, so for me the Elite Z Buzzz is the most optimal, especially since the flight can't be distinguished between an Elite Z Buzzz and a Z FLX Buzzz. I will pick an Elite Z Buzzz every time. But if you like Buzzz's and flexible slick plastic, try an FLX Z Buzzz right now!!

    I love the Discraft Buzzz! Every time I discuss mids I always recommend the Buzzz to everyone. But the Z Flx is really awesome.  

    I bought a Z plastic,177 g,  a few years ago and fell in love with it. (My first birdie was with the Buzzz!) When I heard about the new Z Flx plastic I had to try it out.

    It is awesome! Feels really good and flies great. I have a 176 g and like it a lot. I can grip it very well when the Z becomes to hard to grip well. It flies just like my Z Buzzz. Get it for cold weather, you will not regret it !
