Buzzz SS
The Buzzz SS is a less stable verzion of the ultra-popular Discraft Buzzz. This midrange has a similar feel to the Buzzz, with a rounder, smoother feeling rim.

Don't be fooled, this is not an understable midrange, like the Meteor or Comet. This is a straight flyer meant to be workable for low to even moderately high powered shots.
