Discraft says this about the Zone SS: "The Zone SS is designed to be a straighter version of the original Zone. It has a similar hand feel to the original Zone, but without the hard fade. It is perfect for tunnel shots, controlled approaches, and laser-straight drives that need a touch of predictability."
The original Discraft Zone has long set the standard for overstable approach discs. Many players loved the flight of a seasoned Zone, but unfortunately, it took too much time for a Zone to beat-in to the sweet spot for dead-straight approach shots. That's why Discraft created a new version of the Zone designed to fly like a seasoned Zone right out of the box: the Zone SS. When thrown with a slight hyzer, it flips to flat and rides straight before a gentle, forward fade at the end of the flight. It's definitely a great complement to the legendary Discraft Zone!

i have always adored the Zone, so the SS went in my bag as a straighter version of the Zone. both of mine are Z plastic, and i can trust both of them to do what i need them to!
I wanted an approach that I could throw forehand and also depend on to be somewhat stable backhand. This works for both situations. I don’t get huge distances with this disc but so far it’s been accurate and easy to throw. I actually enjoy putting with it too.
