The Scorch is a fast, glidey distance driver rated 11/6/-2/2, flying with a moderate high-speed turn and a dependable fade to the left at the end (for a right-handed backhand). It pairs big glide with a controllable turn for long, shapeable distance. That combination of speed and glide makes it one of Discraft's reachable distance drivers: powerful players get long, controllable lines, while moderate arms get workable distance without a demanding, overstable flight. It rewards a smooth release and flies farther than its speed suggests thanks to the glide. The Scorch is a stock Discraft distance driver rather than a single player's signature mold; its recent Tour Series run is stamped for Valerie Mandujano. ESP and Z Line are the standard runs; the FLX, Swirl, Titanium and Tour Series runs cover grippier and collector options.

The Discraft Scorch is one of the most-reviewed discs we track.

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.
