Sled

(4 Reviews)
Rate this Disc

The Discraft Sled is a low glide putt-and-approach disc built for controlled placement and confident execution. A rolled thumb track adds grip security and comfort, while the rounded wing and nose provide a familiar hand feel similar to the Luna and Roach.

With flight numbers of 3 | 2 | -1 | 2, the Sled offers an easy high-speed flip, straight point-and-shoot control, and a gentle, dependable fade. Its slower speed and minimal glide help limit distance and reduce ground play, making it a strong choice for precision forehands, controlled backhands, and approaches that need to land soft and stay close to the target.

Rate this Disc

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. Players that want that Buzzz flight but can't quite get it to fly straight, or players that love the rounded, convex rim shape will love the Buzzz SS. 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.
