The Discraft Machete is a high-speed distance driver with moderate glide and very strong fade. It produces a hard-hooking overstable flight, making it a dependable choice in windy conditions and for shots that require a consistent finish.
High speed (11) demands significant arm speed and solid technique to achieve full flight.
Release flat with power — the disc will resist turning over and finish reliably left (RHBH). Great for forehand drives.

As a distance driver from Discraft, this heavy, overstable plastic offers a reliable flight for players with significant arm speed. It cuts through the air with a steady speed of 11 but lacks high glide, relying on its stability to fight through resistance. When released on a hyzer, the disc holds that angle and finishes with a hard, immediate fade, making it a workhorse for fighting headwinds and executing skip shots off hard surfaces. This model shines for advanced throwers who need to shape shots on demand. It excels on forehand drives where a forced fade is desired, or on flex shots that flip up slightly before landing. The sharp rim profile and high stability make it ideal for navigating tight fairways or throwing big hyzers into open fields, ensuring the disc finishes predictably even when the wind is howling.
