According to the discraft website the Buzzz is next in line for the ESP treatment, that should be one sweet disc.
Dont suppose anyone has an ETA on it??

When I got my esp avenger I was hoping it would break in and fly much like a newer X avenger. Its no surprise but its alittle shorter than the X plastic, and its nearly Z durable so its taking awhile to break it in right.
I think a Esp buzzz would be pretty nice, I like the Z buzzzs, but Like the X buzzzs more.

I'll stick with Z buzzes. I like the way they fly and don't need any break in. I hate midranges made out of crappy plastic that get beat easily. I know some people love beat midranges but not me. I like consistency fromt the first throw to the last.

My esp avenger is similar to my z, which is bad because I prefer my x as well. I probably will try an esp buzz, but my midnight buzzes are money. Since I stocked up on them, I probably will stick with them.
I'm liking my D buzz which I'm in the process of beating up to replace my z glide as a turnover mid.

It's Z plastic, black, and fairly flat topped like the 1st runs. They are a very nice disc....straight as an arrow.

What he said...
I was told that they are as close to a first run buzz as I'd ever get. Also for a cfr disc, they were cheap at the time.

the pro-d buzzz is superior. it flies like a beat in roc when it is new and beats into a great overstable mid with a TON of glide and a great feel.

I imagine so; the only problem with a D buzz is that if you throw it for most of your shots (which many of us do), you have the understable mid awfully quick.
I have found something that prolongs a base plastic disc from getting beat up though: TRY to beat it up and it takes forever!

lol, yeah it always seems when you want a disc to break in it dosnt, and you you dont it does.
Texas have you tried an x buzzz? I used one a long while (throwing rollers and thumbers to break the thing in) and it was straight as a new d buzzz and held a great anny line. I traded it away and the guy is loving it.

Blake, I see GGGT has ESP Buzzzes now. Have you (or anyone else) thrown them yet? How do they measure up?

my geuss is they will be almost as stable as a Z buzzz, have as much fade as a z buzzz, shorter than an x buzzz, and a completely different disc from a d buzzz.
