Discraft Zone SS
The Discraft Zone SS keeps the trusted Zone hand feel but flies straighter with a gentler finish. It’s the “seasoned Zone” flight right out of the box—ideal for point-and-shoot approaches, tunnel lines, and controlled drives that shouldn’t dump.
Thrown flat, it rides straight with a touch of high-speed turn and a soft, forward fade. Add slight hyzer for pushy holds, or power it on low lines without fighting you off the fairway. It’s a confident backhand or touch-forehand tool when the stock Zone or Zone OS are too beefy.
Why throw the Zone SS?
- Zone feel with a straighter, more workable finish.
- Excellent for tunnel approaches and shapeable low lines.
- Touch-forehand friendly without harsh dump.
- Bridges the gap between straight putters and overstable approaches.

FAQs
What are the Zone SS flight numbers and what do they mean?
4 | 4 | −1 | 2. Speed 4 gives controlled approach-disc pace. Glide 4 adds carry without floating long. Turn −1 delivers gentle high-speed turn for straight or slight-turning flights. Fade 2 finishes forward and dependable instead of dumping hard. Net effect: a straighter Zone that still lands on command.
Who is the Discraft Zone SS best for?
Players who like the Zone mold but want easier straight lines. If your stock Zone or Zone OS fades too early, the SS lets you aim tighter gaps and push farther before the finish. It rewards smooth form, works for backhand or touch forehand, and pairs perfectly with a beefier Zone for wind or forced hyzer duties.
How does the Zone SS compare to the Zone and Zone OS?
Zone SS: straighter mid-late flight, modest fade, more workable shaping. Zone: neutral-to-overstable with firmer finish for wind and torque. Zone OS: maximal overstability for spikes, skips, and heavy forehand torque. Many bags run SS for straight lines, Zone for stock approaches, and OS for headwinds or skip shots.
What shots does the Zone SS excel at and how should I throw it?
Think straight tunnel approaches, flat lasers that settle, and controlled turnovers that pan and sit. Start flat or on slight hyzer with nose down to let the −1 turn stand it up, then trust the soft finish. For touch forehands, keep mechanics clean and height modest—use a Zone or Zone OS if you need hard fade or heavy torque resistance.
Which plastic and weight should I choose?
First Run Z is durable and seasons slowly, great for tee shots and field work. Heavier builds feel steadier in wind and finish a tick later; lighter options flip up more easily. The PDGA max approved weight for this mold is 176.0 g, so most retail stock clusters in the 160s–175 g range.
