by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-Z-TER (REF2912-1)
Description
The Discraft Z Terminator distance driver is a pro-caliber, stable-to-overstable driver, molded in Z plastic. It's built for power throwers and players who need a utility disc, and it's at its best on controlled distance, flex lines, and hard-finishing shots. If you're shopping for a dependable Terminator for your bag, this Z run is a great place to start.
Z Plastic
Z is Discraft's flagship hard, translucent, and glossy plastic. It offers maximum durability, resists wear and tear, and holds its original flight stability for years. Discraft's recent Z refresh gives it an enhanced look and feel while keeping the same trusted flight, so your Terminator will fly the same way for a long time.
The Mold
The Terminator's high-speed stability keeps it driving forward without excessive drift. It handles torque, wind, and aggressive release angles with a forward-pushing flight and a reliable finish. For lower arm speeds, it's a dependable utility disc for forehands, skips, and sharp fades.
Stability
The Terminator 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. It's best for intermediate to advanced players with good arm speed.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 12 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
