    A dependable overstable distance driver built for power throwers. With its high speed and reliable fade, it’s perfect for big flex shots, forehands, and windy conditions. Advanced players will love its consistency and ability to handle full-power throws. A solid choice for those seeking control and distance.

    I expected it to be more stable than it was, but I was not dissapointed. It is still nice and torque resistant, but still will carry straight for a bit on my forehands. On backhand, I use it when I don't quite need the wild nuke distance, and would rather use something that is a bit more controllable. Overall it is a great disc, somewhere between a wraith and a new destroyer in stability once it beats in a bit.

    I've only been playing disc golf since May, so I'm very much a beginner. I've only recently gotten my arm speed up enough to throw the Force, but it's quickly become my go-to overstable driver. If I throw it on a little anhyzer, it flies dead straight for 2/3 of the flight with a consistent fade at the end.

    Wow this disc is great. It replaced my enforcer, and when compared to my Horizon Cloudbreaker, Halo Destroyer, and C-Line DD3 it is a solid step up in stability. This thing comes out of my hand fast, like really fast. I can put it on a touch of anhyzer and watch it cruise to 400 feet on a frozen rope. Great headwind disc, great overstable forehand disc, I think everyone could use one of these to try. I think even beginners can get some use learning more powerful forehands and flex forehands for easy distance, but it will almost be a utility disc for them when they start.

    Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, needs that reliably overstable distance driver in their bag. Enter the Discraft Force. This disc is a dream to throw on hyzer backhand lines. If you get this disc in lighter weights or beat it up a good while, you can even flex it a fair bit with reliable fade on both backhand and forehand. This disc is a MUST for forehand throwers too because it just feels so natural and behaves so predictably.

    if you need stability you came to the right disc! the force is great for hyzer shots even in rough wind, very reliable fade which makes it hard for beginners to get any real distance with it

    This is my go to forehand and backhand disc. It's a very neutral to over stable disc and it gives a very consistent flight right out of the box. Once it beats in it has a very good flight.

    Great disc for faster arm speeds. Obviously starts very stable, but it has a lot of forward push before it's strong fade. It'll beat into a nice neutral to under stable flyer. Majority of the ESP seem to have a nice bit of dome to them, giving them nice glide. It flies true to it's rating brand new.

    I am a RHBH thrower and average 350' on a good drive. This is disc is purely for forehand throws (I am still learning) and head wind shots - and NOTHING ELSE.

    I love how reliable this disc is, you can depend on it to fight any amount of torque and anhyzer you apply to it and will ALWAYS fade back. Perfect for upwind shots and forehands. 

    Only complaint is that I feel that it is not a glide 5, but that is probably because I am not strong enough to get this disc to fully perform. 

    Like all other ESP plastic from Discraft, it is super grippy and durable.

    So i did make the crucial mistake of getting a ESP Force when i first started out playing because i thought if you got higher speed disc you would go farther.... instead it made me develop bad habits, flash forward now to where im at 8 months. id say the force for me is my most reliable disc for the overstable slot.

    i rely on this disc a lot especially in windy situations, it beats in nicely in the esp plastic, when its new its very over stable, but the one I've had since the begging of my career has now became like 12/5/-.5/2 feels less stable to that stable side of things which i use for more straighter shots. id recommend this to more seasoned players than beginners, great for releasing on flat, trusting it to come back left, good for forehands, will probably always be in my bag.

    I recently purchased a 173-gram ESP Force, and it has quickly become one of my favorite distance drivers. It is perfect for big hyzer shots and max distance drives alike, forehand and backhand. It flies like a Zeus with less turn, which is precisely what I was looking for, but I wouldn't recommend the ESP Force if you are looking for more overstability than that. I do not own a Z-line or a Big Z Force, but I have heard that those plastics tend to be more overstable. 

    This disc certainly requires fast arm speed. It would be a frustrating disc for a beginner. It is fantastic when you are consistently able to throw at least 300 feet consistently. (It will go much further than 300 feet when thrown with a lot of power, though.)

    The Force is a great disc for experienced players with a lot of power and arm speed.  An overstable distance driver that can be used for forehand or backhand throws.  A great disc to fight the wind and guaranteed to give a reliable fade at the end of the flight.  

    Not a disc that is beginner friendly by any means.

    I absolutely love this disc and also think I got very lucky with how my run turned out as far as flight numbers go. I have a 167g ESP and it flies like a beat in destroyer with a little more glide. I can absolutely rip this disc and it will start to turn for a little and then it will always fade back hard. Once discs are easier to come by again I will try to get an even lighter version and a max weight to use as my main driver.

    An ESP force will always accompany the Z forces in my bag. ESP forces aren't quite as overstable as Z forces typically but that essentially just means they get more glide/distance. I love ESP forces for ~400' flex forehands and big hyzers either forehand or backhand. Some ESP forces are "flippy" and you can use them for max distance shots but typically an ESP force will be a very reliable max distance hyzer disc that you can trust into a headwind.

    The force is truly a force to be reckoned with! This disc is truly beefy with some epic right to left fade. It's a great disc to work up your arm speed to. If you don't have the arm speed for the disc, it's a great utility disc to bend around left turns in the woods (RHBH). I also recommend this disc to gauge where your arm speed is at. If it hooks left, your arm speed isn't able to throw a speed 12 yet. If you can get the disc to turn over, you can truly throw a speed 12.

    Definitely a driver for more experienced players, but once you're able to really get ahold of the force, it will quickly become your favorite go to, reliable distance driver. Great for those long, open shot shaping drives as well as quick, skip forehand drives through the woods. Highly recommend for more skilled players.

    Buy this disc for special shots if you don't have a big arm. It's fun to throw -- I use it for downhill shots on mountain courses in Colorado. Throw it on a forced-turnover downhill and watch it fly.

    I absolutely love this disc for forehands!! I struggled to find disc that I could forehand without turning them over but this thing can really handle the torque. It is also great for headwinds because I can trust that this thing won't turn over.

    This disc is also great for backhands. I can give this a bit of anhyzer and get a full flight out of it and know that it will fight out and finish to the left. 

    I would highly recommend getting one of these if you have a strong forehand or are looking for a backhand disc that you can really put a lot of power behind.

    I started using a Force once my typical drives were going 400’+ with 12 speed over stable discs. The force is a very over stable driver but very comfortable in the hand. It’s great for headwinds and hyzer bombs. The disc will always fade out and rarely will get turned over. 

    This is also a great forehand disc with it being over stable.

    I do not have a big arm and this is my go-to max distance driver.  I can consistently get it out to 370 ft (which is my max backhand distance).  I also enjoy using it for touch forehand approaches that I need to dumb very hard.  This disc will also give you a very straight flight with a gentle fade when throwing max distance forehands.  Forehands are my primary use for the Force.  It will give you max distance potential on big flex lines and very consistent flight when thrown flat.  If you like to keep minimal molds in your bag the Force is a great disc to beat in for different stabilities.

    The Force is a beast of a disc...Yes it's incredibly stable, but man does this thing glide. I throw it BH flat for big distance hyzers, but it's my main forehand distance disc. Flat, I will get a little turn and can max it out 475. If I put it on a little bit of flex, I can expect it to come back and push 500. Wind Fighter, Max D, it just takes a bit to handle this much disc.

    If you need a more over stable destroyer compliment, this is it. Flight numbers are true!

    With proper form and torque man does this disc come out of the hands fast!  I bag a swirly  ESP and the Austin Turner metal flake. The AT metal flake has a little less turn than the ESP version. Both versions handle the forehand and back hand very well for max distance power shots.

    The Force is an outstanding distance driver from Discraft. In hand, this disc felt pretty good, even though I usually don't get to into the wide rimmed drivers. It was still comfortable for me. The flight of this disc new can be pretty overstable. I usually have a fresh one to fight big headwinds and throw utility shots with. I have a second one that I have worked in enough to get it to go straight for a ways before hooking up, and I can throw some nice flex shots with it. I'm more comfortable with slower speed discs, but I like what I have seen from the Force so far, and I'm going to continue to work one in.

    This is my go-to driver and I will always bag it in various stages of wear.  Brand new, this disc will not turnover at all and is a great disc for forehand and backhand hyzers.  As you continue to break it in you will be able to beautifully shape your shots.  This is a disc I know will never leave my bag. I recommend ESP and Big Z for maximum distance and consistent break-ins.

    By the beard of Zeus, the Force is as reliable as it gets. 172g ESP. Very stable. Flies flat and straight with a hefty, high skip producing fade. Holds flex lines well when thrown with power behind it, and won’t turn and burn. As its getting beat in more, I find myself reaching for it more frequently. Some reviewers have given the Force a low review, because they didn't have the arm speed that this disc requires. I gave it 5 stars, as it does exactly what an overstable distance driver is meant to do. Great disc.

    The Force is a driver that files as the numbers indicate. Its pretty overstable and able to deal with headwinds easily. Very similar to Innova's XCaliber. The Force can handle the game's biggest arms and only on the the hardest of throws will you ever notice high speed turn. It'll hold a long, flat flight for a long time before sharply fading.

    NOT beginner friendly. This is a serious disc for serious players. I threw the Force years ago before I really knew what I was doing and found it frustrating. The Force will fly long distances, but you need the arm for it. Great driver for hard throwers how routinely flip lesser discs over.

    I have a 173 ESP. The only reason this disc is in my bag is because of wind. This disc holds up in literally any cross or head wind. You can be confident with the straight flight path and hard fade. Recomended for power backhand players or a strong forehand.

    This is my go to driver. I carry 5 in my bag, 2 esp and 3 z. The esp are a bit less stable than the z. When they beat in they will fly straight and end with a slight hyzer fade. The z force right out of the box is a meat hook, they will require some strength to throw and will fade hard. The force is the best disc for me in a head wind, it will cut through the wind and fly farther than any disc ive thrown. Also a great forehand disc, it has the stability to hold the force put on it by throwing forehand.

    Do you have a big arm? Do you want to throw as hard and far as possible and know your disc is not going to flip over? This is your disc. Massive distance potential, massive glide, massive fade. This disc is not for the weak armed. This is a disc for the 400 foot drivers out there. Super fast, super consistent, super dependable. ESP is decently overstable, Z is monster overstable. Really excels at all things so long as it's meant to go far and fade at the end. Big hyzers, big flex shots, hard core winds, it does it all. I carry these and Villains and I have every possible overstable shot covered in my bag. Must have if you are a person looking for something more overstable then a Destroyer but less overstable then either an Xcalibur, PD2 or a Villain.
