Discraft Disc Golf Chris Dickerson CryZtal Swarm 4/3/0/3 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Discraft CryZtal Swarm midrange is an overstable workhorse midrange, molded in CryZtal plastic. It's built for power throwers and control players alike, and it's at its best on tight fairways and crucial approaches. This listing is the Chris Dickerson release of the Swarm. Chris Dickerson is a 2x PDGA Major Champion.
CryZtal Plastic
CryZtal is a crystal-clear, transparent version of Z plastic. Discraft frequently uses it for special-edition runs and big tournaments, so your Swarm gets Z's durability with a clear, collectible look.
The Mold
The Swarm delivers a reliable overstable flight with a strong, predictable fade, making it ideal for tight fairways and crucial approach shots.
Stability
The Swarm is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. This run is rated 4/3/0/3, with less speed and less fade than the standard 5/3/0/4. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 4 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
