Buzzz

The Buzzz is a straight flying midrange that can hold basically whatever
line its put on, and this has made it one of if not the most popular
discs of all time. They feature a flat top, low profile, and a beadless
feel that give the Buzzz a distinctive hand feel that works for both
forehand and backhand. This midrange is known for being extremely
versatile and having the potential to fly farther than most midranges,
while still flying very straight.
In the 90s and early 2000s, the
Innova Roc was king of midranges. Discraft tried to compete with several
discs of their own, such as the Hawk, Comet, and MRX, but eventually
made the Wasp, which was essentially a Roc. They still wanted a
straighter disc, so in 2003 they began to produce a beadless version
labeled as the "Super Straight Modified Wasp,” also known as the Buzzz,
which proved to be just what Discraft needed compete with the Roc.
The Buzzz is, without a doubt, one of the most successful discs ever released. Multiple variations have been produced, including the Buzzz SS, Buzzz OS, and Buzzz GT, all of which have seen their own success as well. Almost every Discraft pro throws a Buzzz, and almost every company has tried their hand at making their own version of the Buzzz. The Buzzz is a Paul McBeth Signature Disc, and has been a Tour Series disc for Chris Dickerson, Nate Doss, and Paige Pierce. There are many collectible runs of Buzzz’s, including McBeth Claw runs, Halloween stamps, Buzzz Saws, and First Run Buzzz’s.
