Discraft Z Flick 173-174 Gram Distance Driver - Overstable Forehand

In this review the Discraft Z Flick 173-174 Gram Distance Driver is judged as a specialized tool for players who need an extremely overstable disc for forehand power shots and wind-fighting lines. The single biggest reason to consider this disc is its designed overstability: with a Speed 12 profile and high fade it resists turning even at high release speeds, making it a predictable choice for hyzer flexes and meat-hook forehands. The review draws on reported customer notes about straightened flight at heavier speeds and consistent durability under aggressive use.

Key Features

• Extreme overstability: The high fade and stability make it dependable in strong wind and for aggressive forehand attacks where the disc must not turn over.
• Speed 12 driver: The fast rim gives experienced throwers the distance potential needed for long approaches and tee shots when paired with proper form.
• Consistent fade: A firm finishing fade helps shape reliable hyzer lines and predictable meat-hook finishes for control on the landing.
• Durable Z plastic: The Z plastic construction stands up to heavy use so the disc keeps its overstability and flight character over time.
• Weight range options: Offered at 173-174 g in this listing, the heavier put makes it feel more stable and straighter for players who push high velocity.

Who It's For

The Discraft Z Flick 173-174 g is best for intermediate to advanced players who throw hard and need a disc that will not flip in headwinds or on powerful forehand releases. It suits those who want a go-to meat-hook driver for finishing long lines with a strong fade.

Players who are new to distance drivers or who rely on understable discs for maximum turnover should look elsewhere; the Flick is intentionally overstable and will resist turn even at high speeds, which can cost distance for lower-power throws.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Predictable overstability that performs well in strong wind and on forehand meat-hook shots.
• Durable Z plastic construction noted by customers for holding flight characteristics under heavy use.
• Heavy weight in this listing (173-174 g) helps it fly straighter when thrown at higher speeds.

Cons

• Very overstable flight can be unforgiving for lower-power players seeking glide or turnover.
