Paul Ulibarri's ultra-overstable utility fairway. +1 turn means it actively resists flipping — one of the beefiest 9-speeds ever made.
Why Throw the Captain's Raptor?
🛡️
Maximum Overstability
With +1 turn and 4 fade, the Captain's Raptor is one of the most overstable fairway drivers on the market. It will not flip — period. Throw it into any headwind with total confidence.
🏆
Paul Ulibarri Signature
Designed to Discraft's Team Captain specs. Uli wanted a Raptor with more bite, and the CapRap delivers. Annual limited releases make each run a collector's piece.
💪
Power Forehand Weapon
Full-torque forehands stay on line and finish hard every time. The flat profile and low glide make forehand releases clean and predictable under maximum effort.
🌬️
Headwind Fighter
When the wind is howling, the Captain's Raptor doesn't flinch. It cuts through headwinds that would flip lesser discs, giving you a dependable line when conditions get ugly.
⤵️
Spike Hyzers & Skips
The aggressive fade and low glide make it perfect for spike hyzers that stick, and skip shots that bounce predictably toward the target on hard ground.
🔀
Reliable Flex Lines
Set it on anhyzer and trust it to fight back. The Captain's Raptor always comes back — hard. That makes it one of the safest flex discs in the game.
Available Plastics
Limited
Z Sparkle
Annual Release
Premium Z plastic with sparkle flake for eye-catching translucent looks. Firm, durable, and holds the extreme overstable flight for a long time. Each annual run features unique stamps.
The Captain's Raptor is a 9-speed ultra-overstable utility fairway driver with flight numbers 9/3/1/4. It's Paul Ulibarri's signature disc — a modified, more overstable version of the Discraft Raptor. It's built for headwinds, power forehands, spike hyzers, skip shots, and any situation where you need maximum fade.
The standard Raptor (9/4/0/3) has more glide, zero turn, and less fade — it's a workhorse overstable fairway you can push for distance. The Captain's Raptor (9/3/1/4) trades glide for extreme stability, adding +1 turn resistance and an extra point of fade. The CapRap is the utility step-up when the regular Raptor isn't beefy enough.
The Firebird (9/3/0/4) is the classic overstable fairway benchmark. The Captain's Raptor goes one step further with +1 turn (vs 0), making it even more resistant to flipping. Many players describe the CapRap as a beefier Firebird that dumps harder and skips more aggressively.
Not as a primary driver — its extreme overstability makes it very hard to throw far for newer players. However, beginners can use it as a "get out of jail" disc for headwind shots, forced hyzers, and situations where they need a disc that absolutely will not turn over.
Spike hyzers, headwind drives, forehand flex lines, hard-finishing hyzers, overhead shots (thumbers/tomahawks), and skip shots on hard ground. Anywhere you need reliable, aggressive fade and zero risk of flipping.
The Captain's Raptor is released as a limited annual run, typically in premium Z variants. Past runs include Special Blend Z (first run), Z Swirl, Jawbreaker Z FLX, Z Confetti, and Z Sparkle. Each year's plastic and stamp are unique — once a run sells out, it's gone until the next year's release.
Yes — it's released once per year as a limited-edition Paul Ulibarri signature disc. Each annual run features a new plastic blend and stamp design. They tend to sell out quickly. If you see one in stock, grab it before it's gone.
