Discraft

Discraft is a company founded in 1979 by Jim Kenner and located in Wixom, Michigan. They are a manufacturer of flying discs for the sports of Ultimate, Disc Golf and Freestyle. The company does not have any retail stores, but rather sells large quantities of discs to resellers and wholesalers around the world. Discraft's 175-gram Ultra-Star disc is the only official disc that is USA Ultimate Championship Series Approved by the Ultimate Players Association. Discs manufactured by Wham-O, Innova, and Daredevil Discs are approved for other uses. Discraft also owns and produces discs and other disc golf accessories for the company Disc Golf Association (DGA)

Currently, Discraft produces 48 different molds of discs used for disc golf. Their production discs are divided into four categories. They produce 10 types of putter, 9 types of midrange, 10 types of fairway driver, and 19 types of distance driver. The discs are grouped by relative distance rating, and more information about specific molds can be found on the Discraft website, www.discraft.com.

Every Discraft disc mold has a unique flight pattern and is given a rating based on its flight characteristics. Ratings range from -1 (most understable) to +3.0 (most overstable). These ratings provide a player with a general idea of how a disc will fly relative to other Discraft discs.

Discraft discs are produced in 9 different lines of plastics: (In order of retail cost)

Ti (Chemical symbol for titanium): The newest Discraft material (2012). It has the durability of Z plastic with grippiness of the ESP plastic.

Cryztal FLX Z: Z FLX is a new plastic that Discraft has released only being offered on a few molds. It is speculated that this will replace the ESP FLX material.

ESP FLX Plastic: FLX is used on a limited number of discs. It is as durable as ESP Plastic, but much more flexible, this is achieved by adding a lightening agent to the ESP mixture. This type of plastic is extremely useful in cold weather conditions.

Cryztal Elite Z: Crystal plastic ranges from being more translucent than Elite Z to sometimes transparent. It often has glimmering effect when held in the light. Crystal is sought after by collectors for its beauty.
