Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-26WORLDS-GLI (REF2609-3)
Description
The Discraft Jawbreaker Z Flx Glide fairway driver is one of Discraft's most unique and easy-throwing discs, molded in Jawbreaker Z Flx plastic. It's built for players who want effortless distance and versatility, and it's at its best on easy distance and controlled shots. This listing is the 2026 Worlds release of the Glide.
Jawbreaker Z FLX Plastic
Jawbreaker Z FLX combines the bold, speckled look and tacky grip of Jawbreaker with the flexibility of FLX. It's a grippy, flexible plastic that feels great in cold weather and helps your Glide stick its landings.
The Mold
Known for its glide, control, and player-friendly flight, the Glide has become a cult favorite for those who want effortless distance and versatility.
Stability
The Glide is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 6 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -3 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
