Why Z-Line Plastic?

Ultra-premium Z-Line is Discraft’s most durable, rigid plastic with excellent grip, giving it the superior torque resistance for maximum flight consistency with both forehand and backhand release styles.

For this reason, Z-Line is the most popular of all Discraft plastics with professional players.

Recommended Weights: 160-174g

These weight classes provide an excellent combination of distance potential with wind-resistance, while also providing balance for the Heat’s natural high-glide performance.

160-166g: Maximizes Glide and release velocity, creating the farthest possible flights but a lower level of wind-resistance

167-172g: Balanced performance, providing good distance balanced with good wind resistance and control.

173-174g: Maximizes control and wind-resistance; also a good option for power throwers.
