The Wasp is a beaded, stable midrange rated 5/3/0/2: no turn, a short dependable fade, and less glide than the big-glide mids, so it flies to the target instead of past it. It is a point-and-shoot approach and control mid that stays honest in wind; players who want a mid to carry extra distance usually reach for something glidier. The bead gives the rim a locked, consistent feel in the hand, and the low glide is the feature: distances stay predictable throw after throw, and power does not sneak it into a turnover. That makes it a natural upshot disc and a favorite of players who like to throw the same shot all day. Approved in September 2002 (PDGA cert 02-13), a year before the Buzzz arrived, the Wasp is one of the molds that built Discraft's midrange reputation, and it still gets a steady rotation of special runs. The plastics spread is wide: ESP and Z Line standard, Jawbreaker and Crazy Tuff firm, Z Glo and a UV Blend for glow, CryZtal and Cryztal Sparkle translucent, and Tour Series and Titanium runs for collectors, including swirled ESP and Titanium variants.

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.
