If you are a Backhand player with no Forehand/Sidearm in your game, the Archer is a MUST HAVE disc for you.
Understability holds anhyzer angles perfectly (giving you that “opposite direction” curve), with very low fade preventing the disc from coming back to center at the end of flight.
Flight Rating Analysis (converted by BDGD from Discraft System):
SPEED | GLIDE | TURN | FADE |
5 | 4 | -4 | 1 |
Midrange (1.5cm rim) | Moderate Glide | VERY Understable | Long, straight finish |
Why Z-Line Plastic?
Z-Line is Discraft’s most rigid plastic, giving it the superior torque resistance for maximum flight consistency. For this reason, Z-Line is the most popular of all Discraft plastics with professional players.
Recommended Weight: 165-176g
Provides excellent wind resistance and consistency.

Manufacturer’s Description
“The popular Discraft Stratus has long been considered a “magic” disc for its incredible versatility. The problem is that Stratus can’t be produced in durable, premium plastics. So we set out to make a disc that will, and Archer is it! Anhyzers, hyzer flips, rollers… Archer is a slow disc that performs best at slow arm speeds. Get out of trouble and back on target with Archer.” Source
Ludington –
This was my third order and the discs are great as always.
They arrived quickly and are exactly as described.
I do really appreciate the disc golf how-to videos and details provided about the disks. It is a great help in deciding which weight will be best for what I need and how each disk will behave (or misbehave).
