Zeppelin | Discraft · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Zeppelin" by Discraft fills a rare niche in the bag as a putter with a speed of 2.5: While other slow discs quickly drop to the ground, it floats unusually long thanks to its glide of 6, maintaining a straight line. With a turn of -1 and fade of 0, it completely avoids the typical hook at the end—ideal for precise approaches on tight fairways or controlled straight shots under trees. The combination of low speed and extreme glide makes it a tool for technical tunnel shots where height and distance are required without lateral drift. Even in wind, the Zeppelin stays surprisingly stable on course, without veering uncontrollably or pulling hard to the left. In flight, its characteristics show gentle right drift without aggressive turnover—the disc practically floats forward instead of quickly losing altitude. The lack of fade ensures it lands where it’s aimed: no late corrections, no unexpected hooks. This neutrality works equally well with flat throws and slight anhyzers, with its high float compensating for moderate height errors. On short to mid-range distances up to about 60 meters, it fully showcases its strengths—precise, predictable, and repeatable. For beginners, the "Zeppelin" is particularly accessible: The low throwing speed requires minimal arm speed, while the high glide ensures sufficient distance even with less power. Advanced players appreciate it as a reliable approach tool for tight situations where a straight line without fade-out is crucial. Both backhand and forehand throws work equally well, as long as the release is clean—the disc forgives minor angle errors thanks to its stability. If you're looking for a putter that prioritizes glide over fade and flies straight lines without compromise, the "Zeppelin" is an underrated precision tool.
