Scorch | Discraft · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Scorch" by Discraft fills the gap between controlled fairway discs and maximum-distance drivers as a speed 11 distance driver. With its high glide of 6 and moderate turn, it's ideal for players seeking extra distance without sacrificing predictability. The inner rim bead ensures a defined grip, while the disc is particularly popular in Z Line and ESP plastics. For intermediate throwers, it offers a reliable option for reaching longer lines without requiring excessive arm speed. In flight, the Scorch exhibits a characteristic balance between turn and fade. The listed turn of -2 becomes noticeable on powerful throws, while at moderate arm speed, it flies more stable and develops less turn than the flight numbers suggest. This versatility allows it to perform in different ways: with strong power, it turns right controllably before the fade of 2 brings it back. With less power, it holds a straight to slightly stable path. The pronounced glide noticeably extends flight time, contributing to consistent distance gains. In Z Line, the disc starts off more stable, while ESP allows for slightly more turn. For hyzer flips, the Scorch provides a reliable platform, flipping up into a long S-curve on a clean release. On anhyzer lines, it develops controlled turnover without flipping uncontrollably. Backhand throws benefit from the balance between glide and fade, while forehand throws can take advantage of its initial stability. Intermediate players will find it an accessible distance driver that delivers length even with less-than-perfect technique. Advanced players appreciate its flexibility across different lines and the ability to fine-tune flight behavior through release angles.
