A fantastic option for maximum driving distance on days with low winds, the Blizzard Wraith is also the current World Record holder for the fastest recorded flight speed and one of our two top picks for seniors and older players!
Flight Ratings and Analysis

Distance Driver, 2.1cm Rim | High glide | Moderately overstable | Balancing fade at the end of flight. |
Wraith vs. Average Driver
Why Blizzard Plastic?
Blizzard’s light-weight allows players who normally throw at moderate speeds to generate much higher release velocities, allowing them to take full advantage of the Wraith’s proven flight performance.
Recommended Weights: 130-139g, 140-149g, 150-159g
All lightweight classes for superior distance, these three options each provide different levels of control. As the weight and control increase, however, the distance will unfortunately decrease.

I bought this (and the Mamba) after reading the article here on MVA’s and extra distance.
Let me first say I am 67 and have been playing for several years.
Both discs immediately added distance to my drives, but if I were to pick just one I would recommend the Wraith. The Mamba turns over much more easily to help with my distance and does typically go slightly farther than the Wraith…however, the Wraith goes almost as far, flies more consistently, and seems to be easier on my shoulder (the lighter weight, maybe?)

Thanks so much for the quick delivery and quality product. Plus, what a great idea of adding “Wind & Weather Quick Reference” card. Laminated too! Great idea, thanks. I’ll be back!

My favorite disc. WAS my favorite till I lost it. Blizzard 154gm. Glide was incredible and the disc was consistent. So much confidence. I thought at a light weight it would be under stable but very little high speed turn and consistent mild fade. The grip and rim size were so comfortable. Still trying to find a replacement so I have confidence and consistency with my #1 driver.
