The Discraft Fossil is Ricky Wysocki's signature overstable putt and approach disc, a slow-flying control tool rated 3/1/0/3. Its defining trait is that glide of just 1: the Fossil goes exactly as far as the power you put into it and no farther, which makes it a precision instrument for approaches where placement matters more than distance. A dependable, torque-resistant fade holds any line you give it and finishes the same way every single time, so you always know exactly where it will end up. The distinct ringer-style top, subtle micro-bead, and flat profile with a thumb track give a confident, universally comfortable grip that feels great on both forehand and backhand throws. It shines on technical approaches, short drives, forced spike hyzers, and confident upshots, and it cuts through headwinds without ever flipping. If you remember and miss Ricky's old Sockibomb Pig from his Innova days, the Fossil is its dependable Discraft answer. When you need a slow, overstable disc that simply does what you tell it, reach for the Fossil.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Fossil is rated 3 | 1 | 0 | 3. That's putter speed with very low glide, no turn, and a strong fade, giving it a slow, overstable, ultra-controlled flight that only goes as far as you throw it.

Precise approaches, short drives, forced spike hyzers, and confident upshots. Its low glide and strong fade make it a placement specialist that resists wind and finishes reliably, so it is ideal any time accuracy matters more than distance.

Yes, that is the idea. Ricky designed the Fossil as his Discraft take on the slow, overstable approach disc he used to throw at Innova. If you miss the Sockibomb Pig, the Fossil fills that same slot in your bag.

Very much so. The ringer-style top, micro-bead, and flat profile with a thumb track give it excellent torque resistance and a comfortable grip, making it a dependable choice for both forehand and backhand approaches.

The low glide of 1 is intentional. It keeps the disc from floating past your target, so it lands where you aim with minimal skip or drift. That predictability is exactly what makes it such a trustworthy approach and placement disc.

ESP is the grippy, premium-feel favorite. Z Line is the firmest and most durable, holding the overstable flight the longest. Jawbreaker adds tacky grip and impedes skips, great for touch and cold-weather approaches.
