The Buzzz is the most popular midrange in disc golf and the disc we recommend first to every beginner. It flies dead-straight, holds any line you put it on, and feels comfortable in almost every hand. If you only own one midrange, it should be a Buzzz.

It works for everything: approaches, tunnel shots, short drives, and learning form. Z Line is the most durable option and stays stable the longest. ESP adds grip. Jawbreaker is the budget pick with great feel. The Buzzz is the disc that teaches you what "straight" means in disc golf.

The Hex is the Buzzz's main competitor, and many players prefer it for the GYRO overmold rim feel. It has slightly more glide (5 vs 4), which gives it extra carry downfield. The flight is neutral to slightly understable — straight with a gentle finish.

The overmold rim gives it a smooth release and comfortable feel that stands out immediately. Neutron is the go-to for consistent, durable performance. Plasma adds a slightly grippier premium feel. If you throw MVP/Axiom discs, the Hex is your midrange.

The Reactor is a stable-to-overstable midrange that fills the "reliable workhorse" slot in a beginner's bag. It holds the line with minimal turn and finishes with a predictable fade. This is the disc you reach for on windy days or when you need a hyzer that doesn't flip.

It handles power without turning over, making it great for forehand midrange shots too. Neutron is consistent and durable. Fission comes in lighter weights for easier distance. The Reactor pairs perfectly with the Hex — one stable, one straight.

The EMAC Truth is a high-glide midrange that flies straight with a soft, reliable finish. It has the same neutral flight as the Buzzz but with an extra point of glide that gives it more carry. For beginners, that extra float is forgiving — putts that come up short with other mids will reach with the Truth.

The EMAC Truth (Eric McCabe signature) is the version you want — it's the refined, modern run. Lucid is the premium plastic for throwing. Prime is the budget option. A great choice if you want a Buzzz-style flight with more distance potential.

The Mako3 is the purest "point and shoot" midrange available. With zero turn and zero fade, it goes exactly where you release it — no correction, no drift. It's the ultimate form-building disc because it exposes every flaw in your release angle.

Throw it flat and it flies flat. Throw it on hyzer and it stays on hyzer. Throw it on anhyzer and it holds the anny. Star is the go-to plastic for durability. Champion is firmer and slightly more stable. The Mako3 is the disc that makes you a better player.

The Fuse has the highest glide rating of any midrange on this list (6), and it shows. This disc floats. For beginners with slower arm speeds, the Fuse will fly farther than any other midrange because it just doesn't want to come down. The zero fade means it finishes straight instead of dumping.

Opto plastic is durable and keeps the flight consistent. Gold Line adds a touch more grip. The Fuse is the best choice for beginners who want maximum distance out of a midrange without having to throw hard.

The Meteor is a very understable midrange built for smooth turnovers and effortless hyzer flips. With a turn rating of -3, it flips up easily from a hyzer release and rides right (for RHBH) before gently finishing. For beginners, it compensates for the hyzer angle most new players throw with.

It's also an excellent disc for learning shot shaping — turnovers, hyzer flips, and gentle S-curves are all easy with the Meteor. Z Line keeps it slightly more stable for longer. ESP is grippier and flips a touch more. Check out our Meteor Disc Spotlight for more.

The Comet is a legendary form-building disc. It's understable enough to punish off-axis torque — if your form isn't clean, the Comet will let you know by turning over. That sounds harsh, but it's actually the fastest way to improve. Clean throws are rewarded with beautiful, long, gliding flights.

The unique feel in the hand (wider rim than most mids) takes a throw or two to get used to, but once you do, the Comet becomes a go-to for touch shots and controlled turnovers. Z Line and ESP are both excellent options. A disc that's been in bags since the 1980s for good reason.

The Tursas is a very understable midrange in the same category as the Meteor. With a -3 turn rating, it's one of the easiest midranges to get turning right (for RHBH). For beginners who struggle to get discs to fly straight, the Tursas compensates beautifully.

It's also a great roller disc as your skills develop. VIP plastic is durable and maintains the understable flight for a long time. Tournament is slightly less stable and great for max turnover lines. A fun, easy-to-throw disc that builds confidence.

The Uplink is MVP's understable midrange offering, and the GYRO overmold technology gives it a smooth, comfortable rim that beginners love. It flips up easily from hyzer and rides with excellent glide before a gentle finish. Think of it as the Hex's understable sibling.

It pairs perfectly with the Hex — one for straight shots, one for turnover and hyzer flip lines. Neutron is the go-to plastic. Fission comes lighter for even easier flipping. A great choice for MVP/Axiom throwers who want an understable mid option.
