The Reaper is an overstable control driver rated 8/3/0/4: low glide, zero turn, and a heavy left finish. It is a utility fairway for skip hyzers, headwinds, and forehands, thrown when the shot must end left and stop asking questions. Power changes its distance, not its shape, which is exactly what its users want: overpowered drives stay on the property, flex lines come back, and windy approaches land where aimed. Approved in August 2001 (PDGA cert 01-05), the Reaper is one of the elder statesmen of Discraft's overstable fairway slot, revived in recent years through Signature and Tour Series releases. ESP and Big Z are the standard runs, Z Swirl and Z Sparkle Glo add flourish, and the Signature ESP and Tour Series ESP stamps serve collectors.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
