The Zeus is a fast, powerful distance driver rated 12/5/-1/3, flying with just a slight high-speed turn and a strong, dependable fade to the left at the end (for a right-handed backhand). Part of Paul McBeth's signature line, it is built for power throwers who want big distance with a reliable, overstable-leaning finish. That combination of speed and dependable fade makes it a go-to power driver: strong arms get commanding distance and controllable hyzer lines, and it holds up against wind and forehand (sidearm) torque. It is a shallow, beadless speed-12 rim. Because it needs real arm speed and finishes hard, less powerful players will find it fades out early. The mold was first PDGA-approved in December 2018 under the name Kong (certification 18-95), and Discraft released it as the Zeus, the overstable-leaning distance driver in Paul McBeth's signature lineup. ESP and Z runs hold the strong finish and are the durable picks for power and wind.

The Discraft Zeus 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.
