Discraft Buzzz
The Discraft Buzzz is a stable midrange (5/4/-1/1) - good for intermediate players.
Our take on the Buzzz
If you want one midrange that does almost everything, the Buzzz is the answer, and it has been the standard other midranges get measured against for years. The flight numbers tell the story of why: speed 5, glide 4, turn -1, fade 1, with an overall stability rating of 0. That neutral profile means it flies dead straight on a flat, controlled throw, holds whatever angle you put it on, and finishes with just a gentle, predictable fade rather than a hard hook left.
The -1 turn gives it just enough high-speed flex to handle a little power without flipping over, while the 1 fade keeps the ending honest and reliable. At 21.7 cm with a 1.2 cm rim and a beadless rim, it sits comfortably in nearly any hand. Compared to an Innova Roc, the Buzzz is glidier and more beginner-forgiving, so you get distance and straight flight with less effort.
The skill level here is genuinely everyone. Beginners get a controllable, confidence-building disc, and advanced players get a precise straight-line and approach tool. Plastics run from grippy CryZtal to durable Big Z, with prices from about 12 to 29 dollars.
