The "Flame Thrower" by Black Zombie Disc Golf is an understable distance driver with a speed of 11.5, designed for powerful turnover throws and long-distance hyzer flips. With a turn of -2 and fade of 2, it combines pronounced turn characteristics with controlled finish at the end of the flight. Positioned as an alternative to classic high-speed drivers like the Wraith or Mamba, this disc caters to players seeking deliberately understable flight behavior at high speeds. The Toxic variant offers slightly more stability than previous versions, featuring grippy, flexible material for secure releases. In flight, the "Flame Thrower" showcases its signature turnover profile even at moderate arm speeds starting around 100 meters. The high glide rating of 6 noticeably extends the flight phase, while the -2 turn ensures reliable rightward movement. When thrown on hyzer angles, it starts controlled, flips into a long S-curve, and stabilizes with a fade of 2 toward the landing zone. With flat or slight anhyzer releases, it tends toward pronounced turnover lines—even rollers—if given enough power. The flight path remains predictable as long as the thrower provides sufficient acceleration. For advanced players with throwing distances around 100 to 120 meters, the "Flame Thrower" offers flexible line-shaping on open fairways, excelling especially in maximum-distance turnover drives. Ambitious beginners with clean technique can also use it for their first experiences with high-speed turnovers, though they should favor hyzer releases to prevent uncontrolled turning. On backhand throws, it shines in S-curves and long turnover shots, while forehand players can utilize it for precise flex lines. Tailwinds amplify its turn significantly, whereas headwinds further reduce stability.
