Discraft Z Line Archer - Understable Midrange Control
Unlock effortless control with the Discraft Z Line Archer, an understable midrange disc built for precision, glide and finesse. First released during the 2016 Ace Race, the Archer quickly earned a reputation as a touch-friendly, confidence-boosting midrange that excels at slow, controlled arm speeds.

Often described as the premium-plastic successor to the legendary Stratus, the Archer delivers similar versatility but with the added durability and consistency of Z Line plastic.

Type & Recommended Use
The Archer is an understable midrange designed for smooth hyzer flips, long anhyzers, rollers and straight shots with minimal fade. It performs best at slower arm speeds, making it an excellent choice for beginners, finesse players and anyone needing a reliable disc to get out of trouble and back on line. Ideal for tight fairways, wooded courses and precision approaches.

Pro Insight
Valarie Jenkins, Team Discraft:
"This is a great turnover disc with a midrange feel. I am confident it will hold that slow turnover flight, and it can fly surprisingly far with the right angle and height."
