    What can you say that has not already been said . I also have a esp flx glo which is a little flippy. Great mid and probably the best disc made by discraft.

    I think that the Buzzz is the most versatile midrange. It is very comfortable in my hand and very nice for shot shaping through the woods. I've found that my Halloween Z Glo Buzzz's are much more flat, therefore making them a lot more comfortable for forehands in my opinion. The one thing I would warn beginners about a Buzzz is that it's shockingly overstable. The way a pro looks throwing a Malta is how a beginner looks throwing a Buzzz.

    This disc has been is one of my most used disc in my bag.  If I need a straight shot this is the disc I always reach for.  Disc has a straight flight with a slight fade which almost always finishes flat.

    Currently the favorite disc in my bag. The buzz is the ultimate point and shoot disc. I've never thrown a mid range that gave me more confidence in my lines. No matter your skill level the buzz would be a great addition to your bag.

    This review is on the 2018 Z Glo Buzzz: This is my go-to midrange, I had recently wanted to switch up my mid lineup and the Buzzz was the first disc I tried, it was an instant hit! I like that you can put it on any line and it is going to hold it. This is definitely going to be more stable than your regular Buzzz, I do not know how it compares to the 2020 run though. Also not to mention that these things go FAR if you put a move on em'! If you haven't tried a Buzzz then have you really played disc golf? I highly recommend this disc for any player for any stable/straight midrange shots.

    You can't beat this disc for midrange distance, it is a big thrower and is comparable to fairway driver distance imo.  It will hold any line, but it does have a tendency to turnover sometimes on big throws.  You have to be very careful with nose angle because it is not overstable or understable but right on the line, so it can go either way.  This makes it a good disc to learn angles with.  Personally I like a little more stability with my mids, but it is easy to see why this disc is so popular.

    Overall, I think the buzzz is a good midrange. I don't love it as much as most people do but I acknowledge that is a good disc for all skill levels. The buzzz is very comfortable in the hand and can be utilized for a variety of different shots. Something that I have noticed with the buzzz is if you want to have it fly a certain flight pattern, you have to throw it on the right angle. If you throw it with hyzer, it will hyzer, if you throw it flat, it will fly flat, if you throw it with anhyzer, it will fly anhyzer. If you don't throw it on the right angle I feel it is kind of an unforgiving disc.

    Have several Buzzz's in different molds and weights.  Seemed to have settled on a Tour Series, 178g, Buzzz for myself. The disc will hold any angle you put on it and fly straight as an arrow if thrown flat.  Like everyone else, I believe there is a place in everyone's bag.  My wife stole  one of the 4 I have and uses for approaches well to in addition to Truth that glides well for her.

    The Buzzz was one of the first discs I ever played with. Very friendly for beginners. Maybe it's just me, but as time passed it was replaced with other "newer" makes, molds, and plastics. Now years later, the Buzzz is back in the bag, and back to stay! This is one of the most versatile midranges available. You truly can "shape" the lines you need by adjusting angle of attack and power level. Great point and shoot for Beginners and amazing workability for more advanced players. Comfortable in large and small hands alike. (I'm 6'2", my son is 6'4", and my 5'2"-16 year old daughter all throw a Buzzz)  There is so much that can be said, that Feel it's safe to say, this is a great addition to any bag! Get one..... or Five!!!!

    Love it! Feels great to throw and throws the same every time. I don't see any downfall to this disc and I think that anyone can be consistently successful throwing it.

    One of the first discs I owned and continue to bag to this day. I have a total of 3 buzzz's (180,170) and recently a McBuzzz. I bag a glo buzzz and it has a very slight fade for me. I use it primarily off the tee for shots where some of my buddies are throwing putters.

    The Buzzz is one of the greatest straight flying midranges on the market! I've bagged 3 different Buzzz's over the years that I have played disc golf. When I was a beginner this was a very reliable midrange that I could trust to fade back left on a backhand throw, but as I developed my form and power I could get this disc to coast dead straight. In the hand the Buzzz is quite shallow making it perfect for smaller hand and players that use fan grips. The flat profile of the Buzzz makes it very comfortable in the hand. As these get worked in they become one of the best finesse discs in the game.

     

    If you've found a Roc to be too deep or you don't like a bead on your mids the BUZZZ is a great alternative!

    The Discraft Buzzz is a midrange worthy of its devoted fandom. In my mission to test all the major midranges on the market I came across a great deal on a 180g Glo Z Buzzz with the halloween stamp. The Buzz has a micro/almost no bead to it and a pretty comfortable grip to it. I don't normally go 180g on my midranges just because I prefer them to glide a little more but this disc surprised and impressed me.

     

    The Buzzz is very neutral and quite workable. I had bagged a buzz SS earlier on that I really enjoyed and was really sad when I lost it. My thoughts were that the regular buzzz was going to be a bit more overstable and with the Glo Z plastic and high weight it worked out to be a very nice stability allowing me to throw it quite hard for a very straight flight. The buzzz in other plastics at lower weight will probably be a touch less stable and as such will be able to bent to more lines.The Buzzz similar to the emac truth goes really dang far.

     

    The buzz handles most wind situations relatively well but it will probably need to be paired with something more overstable for stronger headwinds.

     

    The buzzz is an excellent beginners disc especially in the Pro D or X line plastics. It is very workable and pretty neutral so you will see your forms flaws more easily.

     

    Overall your go to midrange is going to be something highly subjective and ultimately come down to preference. I can see why there are people who adore this mold as it really is an awesome thrower and quite versatile. While tempted to switch I have a few more to try out before I reach my final decision. Discraft offers this disc in a ton of different plastic types and from what I have seen they seem to be fairly consistent between runs, 4/5 stars showcases this how awesome this disc truly is and I highly recommend trying one out regardless of level of play.

    My Buzzz is a Z-Glo 176g.

    What a fantastic disc. In my opinion, the Z-Glo buzzz flies closest to the flight numbers advertised. Many Buzzz's I have thrown show some turn when thrown past 300', yet for some reason this run of plastic has a touch more stability.  Rip it hard and it will stand up and hold a perfectly straight line for 330-350 with a very mild fade.  Despite the added stability, the glide on this disc remains the same as other models.

    I still would not throw this disc in a headwind--a Wasp or Buzzz OS may be a better choice. But for long line drives the Z-Glo Buzzz holds up better than its Elite-Z or ESP counterparts.

    If you're a beginner, buy a Buzzz, go to a course, and use it for every throw. It will improve your score. As you get better, it remains useful as a straight flyer, and it will hold almost any line you give it (unless you loft it up like a softball). Definetly worth keeping in the bag, and a great disc for all skill levels...but especially for those new to the game.

    The Buzzz is my mid-range of choice for medium-to-long straight shots. It is easy to throw and to control. My favorite is the Glo Buzzz, which is slightly more stable than the normal Buzzz. If it is windy, put it on a hyzer line and let it do all the work. Need to go anhyzer? Not a problem. It will hold whatever line you put it on.

    I've tried all of the buzzz's out their The only Buzzz that flies well for me and does exactly how I throw it is the Z plastic. perfect for those 200 to 300 ft shots this disc just glides and fades very little at the end. My go to predictable disc.

    I've thrown a Buzzz since I began playing disc golf a little less than a year ago. I play fairly frequently so my game has improved quickly and so has my abilities with this disc. I have several Buzzz's in the bag, my go to being my Glo-Buzzz. Noticeably more stable than other Buzzz's so it's all that much more dependable a disc. great for beginners all the way up the ranks of disc golf. I have tried this disc in every plastic blend it's offered in besides Pro-D and I have loved it in every single one. In the end I have settled on the Glo and Esp at max weight as they just do the job best for me.

    The buzzz is my workhorse midrange disc. This disc can do it all. From sweeping hyzers to lazer straight drives this disc has the ability to hit anything you put it to. I carry 4 buzzz's in my bag, ranging from a O/S Glo Buzz to a beaten U/S Barstamp Buzzz. You can't go wrong with this disc.

    Love my Buzzz. I love it so much I bought another one. It's currently the only disc I use two of. I have the GLO-Z plastic, and Titanium. The Glo plastic is pretty slick, so any dust on your hands or the disc doesn't help. The Titanium is MUCH better, but probably not worth the jack up in price. Stick with Z plastic. (the colors for Titanium are nearly impossible to find on blind shots when the suns going down.

    The Buzz is my go too mid in most situations. I carry 3 in my bag from beat understable to slightly overstable. In my experience the Glow Buzz seems to be more overstable than the others but for the straightest shots the Crystal or esp is the way to go in my opinion.
