The Ares
The Discraft Ares is the highly anticipated evolution of the Zeus, born from Paul McBeth’s desire for a driver that can handle even more torque and power. Unofficially dubbed the "Zeus 2.0" during its development, the Ares maintains the comfortable rim and high-speed feel of its predecessor but adds a significant boost in stability.
The Ares is designed to resist turning over in a headwind, allowing big arms to rip into it with confidence. Expect a long, pushing flight that holds a straight line for the majority of its journey before finishing with a reliable, penetrating fade. It’s the perfect workhorse for players who want Zeus-like distance with the added discipline to stay on track through the most aggressive lines.
ESP Plastic
Discraft's ESP plastic blend is a popular premium material known for its excellent durability. This opaque blend offers a comfortable feel in the hand, ensuring a confident grip in various weather conditions. Often featuring mesmerizing color swirls, ESP is a favorite for both performance and aesthetic appeal. Players rely on ESP for its consistent flight characteristics and its ability to withstand wear and tear, providing a long-lasting and reliable option for all types of shots.
