What does it mean that the image is labeled "Actual Disc"?
The "Actual Disc" mark indicates that it is our own image of the exact disc you will receive. There will therefore be NO variation in color shades or stamp.
All discs marked "Actual Disc" are also weighed by us with precision scales. Since manufacturers often have a larger margin of error on the scale, you may experience receiving a product that is marked with a different weight.
We group discs that have identical colour, stamp and weight together, so you may find that there is more than 1 in stock of a disc marked "Actual Disc".
What weight should I choose?
What weight should I choose?
Short answer: Is there a difference of a couple of grams between the different variants? Then it doesn't matter much.
Long answer: In general, a lighter disc is often easier to throw for beginners, but is more affected by wind and can be perceived as less reliable. Furthermore, a lighter disc will "skip" forward less when it hits the ground. Experiment with different weights to discover the differences.
If you buy a disc under 170g, it is considered a "lightweight disc". It can be beneficial to experiment with lighter weights, especially for beginners and players who struggle to get up to speed on the disc.
Sting - Driver: Speed 7 | Glide 5 | Turn -2 | Fade 1 | Stability 0.0.
The Sting was designed to be a disc that is easy to control, holds an almost perfect line on all throws, and fits comfortably in most smaller hands. The Sting Driver was the 2017 Ace Race disc.
Z is Discraft's most hard-wearing and durable plastic, which means that the disc retains its flying properties for a very long time. It is harder and slightly more overstable than ESP.

I got my Sting used, and it has been a bit too understable for my purposes for a fairway driver: It's generally easier to accomplish what I want using other discs. (Not sure just how different its performance might be if completely new and how long it might take before it would become beat in.) However, this has been very useful for my daughter, and for friends who are beginners. The understability and glide factor help give them a straighter, longer flight for their power level and throwing form versus the other more stable fairway drivers & midranges I have to offer them. I like the feel of ESP and jawbreaker plastics (my disc is actually in jawbreaker plastic, but that wasn't in the dropdown list; I do have experience with ESP plastic from other discs, though), but definitely prefer the durability that comes with the ESP.

4 Stars is hugely disrespectful. Not something you are gonna throw off of the tee much, but this is the ultimate understable "fairway" utility disc. Playing in the woods you can throw this thing easily on giant anhyzer over trees, it will hold the line and keep going. Yesterday I had an awesome forehand shot Just had to get a little anhyzer on the disc and a fair amount of power and it just does exactly what you want it to. It is an understable 6.5/7 speed driver that is truly consistent, Idk if these 4 star people are playing enough disc golf in the woods. I really wish I had found this disc earlier, it could be really useful for learning the anhyzer, low follow through shots. (Nivå på anmelder: Middels)
You REALLY need to practice with this one. It can get away from you pretty quickly and you'll end up trading, selling or rat-holing it. It can be a nice finesse disc (very similar to the XL) if you take your time and get used to it. This disc isn't for everyone. (Nivå på anmelder: Middels)
I got a Sting after reading some reviews - I had been looking for an understable fairway driver that would be easy to turnover (for someone like with me with 350'-ish power). I've only thrown this disc in the Cryztal Sparkle plastic and I like it! It's just a bit gummier than regular Z plastic. Rim is comfortable and the size you would expect from a 7 speed disc. It is fairly flat but not board flat, still has decent height (or depth?) so it doesn't feel shallow. I wanted a fairway driver that would turn and hold the turn for turnover lines that are too long for my Meteor- in fact, I think it's like a longer Meteor. I've been really happy with this disc, it's very workable and does what I want it to do. It is very flippy, so hyzer and/or height are usually needed to get a full flight. I really only throw this disc on holes that hook right and typically only RHBH. My thoughts on the numbers are that they should be 7/5/-3/1 (Nivå på anmelder: Middels)
I'm surprised by the negative reviews on this disc. I love my sting in Big Z. It is the perfect disc for finding straight lines through the woods and it will hold any line I throw it on. When I throw this disc, I usually put 70% to 80% power on it. If I really crank it though with a hyzer angle, it will flip up and it will bomb and end to the left. The fade on this disc is almost non-existent. I've had a wrist injury for some time that has really hurt my ability to throw long forehands, so having the Sting to turn right corners is awesome. I highly recommend this disc! (Nivå på anmelder: Nybegynner)
