The Black Zombie Crossbow is an easy-throwing, slightly understable midrange (5/5/-1/0) with lots of glide, and it was Black Zombie's first midrange mold. Its killer glide makes it fly almost like a fairway driver while staying in the fairway with a soft, controllable landing, which makes it forgiving and accessible for beginners while still useful for shaping straight and turnover lines. Black Zombie is Gateway Disc Sports' bold-black-base lineup, so the Crossbow is molded by Gateway.

Questions

  • Is the Black Zombie Crossbow good for beginners?
    Yes. The Crossbow (5/5/-1/0) is a slightly understable, glidey midrange that is easy to throw straight and get distance from without much power, and it lands softly. That forgiving flight makes it a great beginner disc while still being useful for controlled turnover lines.
