ESP Avenger SS
Flight Rating Category Value What Discraft says:
We took the best aspects of the The Avenger -- its speed and glide -- and flatted up the edge. The result is a disc that flies longer and is easier to control. Ams will love it for its flat flight and smooth finish. Pros dig it for mondo turnovers and sky rollers that go forever!

Review: I recently purchased a new Avenger SS in 167g, my previous one weighed 174. I was expecting this new one to be a little more over stable but that was not the case with my new 167. This thing will turn over if you throw it farther than 200'. The old 174 I had wouldnt turn over like that, Im not sure if its a different mold or what... I still like this disc a lot though. I pull it out for holes under 200' and it is extremely accurate.

Review: After throwing this disc for a couple of rounds I would have to say that the avenger ss is a great beginner max distance driver for backhanders. I mainly drive sidearm, but when I need to drive backhand I grab the avenger ss. This disc is incredibly easy to make go straight for a long long ways. Now for the negative; this is a horrible sidearm disc. It isn't stable enough to get a good flight sidearm (for me anyway). If you only drive sidearm then I wouldn't consider this disc, but if you are a beginner backhander or a sidearmer that wants to develop a good backhand shot also then give this disc a try. You just might be amazed at how well you can throw it.

Review: I just picked up this disc today and took it out for a couple rounds at the local course. I like the Elite Z Avenger for a headwind driver and was hoping that the Avenger SS would be a little less stable version. It's way to understable for just about any shot. I threw it flat and with hyzer but I could not keep it from flipping over completely and diving straight down. I thought that maybe it would make a great roller but it just doesn't. I haven't tried throwing it with about 250-300 feet of force yet so I'll have to see if it flies better with less than full power. I think it would be a good starter disc for someone. I have some room in my bag for a couple specialty discs so I'll keep this one around for now.

Review: Before the ss I threw innova orc or star wraith getting great drives but nerver cosistant. Now at riverside at victoria,tx hole 2 is a par three, before it took me 4-5 shots to get there now i can par the hole with the avenger ss great low fast drives. slight left curve just enough to put u in the right place for birdie or long par.I average as long as a football field or 350ft,with avenger ss im at 135 yds or 375ft. I strongly recomend this disc.

Review: I've always loved the Pro D XL for fairway drives and nice straight gliding shots, but the Pro D plastic wears out too fast. The X and Z versions are too stable and don't have the same gentle glide. Enter the Avenger SS. Throw it with too much power and it will flip easily, but with the right finesse it glides real nice with very little fade. Plus the ESP plastic has a nice feel and looks like it will wear nice and slow.

Review: The new Avenger SS ESP is the best disc I have ever thrown!It easy has added 50+feet on my drives! The best way to throw this disc is with a snap hyzer, then 50+ feet later it will pan out for 300 feet with a late fade and the ESP plastic makes it easy to use from day one! A+++
