What kind of disc is the Discraft Buzzz?

The Buzzz is a 5-speed straight-to-stable midrange with flight numbers 5/4/-1/1. It's the most popular midrange in disc golf — a beadless, low-profile mid built for straight flights, predictable fades, and reliable performance for every skill level.

How does the Buzzz compare to the Buzzz SS?

The Buzzz SS (5/4/-2/1) is the understable sibling — flies like a seasoned Buzzz out of the box. It turns more easily for turnovers and hyzer-flips. Choose the Buzzz for straight-to-stable control, the Buzzz SS for right-moving lines.

Which Buzzz plastic should I choose?

ESP is the most popular - grippy with signature swirls. Z Line is the most durable and holds stability longest. Jawbreaker is tacky and flexible for approaches. Big Z offers bold stamps with Z-like durability.
