[Discraft] discraft spectra

[MotoDj]

anyone have one? anybody throw em?
everytime i go to discrafts site, i keep seeing this disc advertised as the next long distance holder/ easy to throw far for weaker arms...

i've never heard anything good or bad bout it, nobody i know has one, never seen one inperson, never seen a review...

anybody care to chime in?
thanks

Its fairly understable and easy to throw far, flies similar to my Valk. The only thing I don't like about it is the supercolor its hard to see and acts as camo sometimes. I do like the Elite Z plastic on it and get a real good grip on it.

yeah, there all supercolor too arent they...
does it acetone off ?

I've seen a ton at one of my local shops, I think they're all ESP though...

It's kind of like a Valkyrie, not much HSS, some LSS.

I've been on the fence about getting one for a while...I will eventually of course...but I'm like that.

I don't think they have any ESP Spectras. The Elite Z blend on those feel similar to ESP though.

Got a few, think xs. Yes their all supercolor. Do not think"next distance record, I'm gonna break it!" and try to muscle it.

I had been looking for one online for awhile and finally got one. I can throw it about as far as my farthest disc, but I am mildly disappointed with it. It is more understable than I expected. Its 166g . I have trouble being consistent with it. Sometimes it goes straight, sometimes left, sometime way right. Doesn't seem to be as forgiving as my other plastic. Right now a 159g R-Pro Boss seems to be giving me my best distance.

the z on the spectra does have a lot grippier feel than other elite z's i have like the stalker. Spectra i would compare more to a mix of a beast and viking for me, it has a little turn and a little fade, but not too much, just don't throw on wooded courses. I like this for turnovers into a headwind and as an all around tailwind driver. When you need to go straighter or into a bit of a wind, I'd say go with an avenger or wraith. Spectra is a terrible headwind driver unless you want some serious turn
