Discraft Hades
The Discraft Hades is Paul McBeth’s understable distance driver, built to deliver huge glide without needing tour-level power. It’s the easier-to-throw counterpart to the Zeus, giving you effortless hyzer-flips, long turnovers, and booming tailwind shots.
Flight: 12 | 6 | -3 | 2. The Hades accelerates fast, flips to flat, rides on glide, and finishes with a gentle, reliable fade. Official specs
Why throw the Discraft Hades?
- Understable max-distance driver that adds effortless yards for many arm speeds.
- Hyzer-flip bomber for long S-curves and controlled turnovers.
- Perfect complement to the Zeus when you want more turn and glide.
- Great for tailwinds, wide-open fairways, and late-turning woods lines.
Plastics
ESP (premium, stock and special runs): grippy, durable premium blend used for many Hades releases, including vintage-stamp and VI series runs. Seasons into a very workable hyzer-flip and turnover driver.
Titanium (Ti) (premium, stiff): firm, highly durable plastic with a slicker feel and slightly more torque resistance. Ti Hades runs keep their stability and shape for many rounds.
Jawbreaker (premium, grippy): swirly, tacky blend that boosts grip and reduces ground play. Jawbreaker Hades runs are great when you want distance with less skip.
Z Line (premium, translucent): very durable with a firm feel. Z Hades runs hold the 12 | 6 | -3 | 2 flight for a long time and stand up well to power.
Z Lite (lightweight premium): Z-style plastic with microbubbles in the rim to drop weight. Ideal if you want easier distance and extra glide in lighter weights.
Big Z (premium, pearly): opaque Z-type blend with bold artwork and excellent durability. Often flies slightly more stable at first while keeping massive glide.
Z Swirl (tour/Ledgestone runs): swirly Z plastic used on Ledgestone-style releases, offering premium grip, striking visuals, and tour-ready stability.
Jawbreaker Z FLX (tour/limited): combines Z FLX flex with Jawbreaker-style swirls. Adds grip and flex while keeping a Hades-style understable distance flight.

FAQs
What are the Discraft Hades flight numbers and what do they mean?
The Hades is rated 12 | 6 | -3 | 2 with a stability of 1.0. That means high speed, huge glide, easy high-speed turn, and a gentle fade—perfect for long, drifting S-curves.
How does the Hades compare to the Zeus?
The Hades is the understable compliment to the Zeus. Zeus is more stable and wind-resistant, while the Hades offers more turn and glide for easier max distance.
Is the Hades good for slower arm speeds?
Yes. Players who can’t fully power a Zeus often get better distance from the Hades. It flips up easier, glides longer, and still finishes on a predictable line.
What shots does the Hades do best?
Hyzer-flips, sweeping turnovers, and tailwind bombs. Advanced players also use seasoned Hades runs for late-turning rollers and huge right-moving lines (RHBH).
Which Hades plastic should I choose?
Choose ESP for all-around grip and workability. Pick Z or Big Z for maximum durability and a touch more stability. Go Z Lite if you want lighter-weight glide. Choose Titanium, Jawbreaker, or Z Swirl / Jawbreaker Z FLX if you prefer specific feel, flex, or limited-run collectability.
