The Buzzz is a giant in disc golf. Legions of players swear by it. Disc golf forums are rife with "Buzzz or Roc?" discussions. If you look in a seasoned disc golfer's bag, chances are good that it will contain one of these mid-range heavyweights. While there are many in both camps, the Buzzz seems to hold a slight edge in the hearts and bags of golfers.
By specifications, the Buzz is a large diameter, average wing depth and width. Discraft rates it a .5 on their stability scale. It has a smoothly curving wing that many hands find a comfortable fit. Its incredible popularity guarantees a good stock of them at your local disc golf store or favorite online retailer. The Buzzz is molded in Pro D, Elite X, Elite Z, Glo Z, ESP, and FLX: the entire gamut of Discraft plastic. One word of advice when choosing plastic for your Buzz: a large-diameter disc with a narrow rim like the Buzzz can be flimsy in FLX plastics. It can be a great choice for rounds in the cold but warm summer days will have it limp in your hand.
The flight properties of the Buzzz give it a place in beginners and pros alike. To those still developing snap, the Buzzz is slightly overstable, providing a smooth hyzer from 200-250'. More experienced arms will find the Buzzz capable of shaping most any line their chain-loving hearts could desire. It can take some serious snap without turning and burning. Hyzers, anhyzers, or straight lines between unforgiving roughs. The Buzzz resists turning over without hyzering out early. The speed of the Buzzz is middling. Fast it most certainly not, nor does it float slowly towards its destination. As a beginner disc, the Buzzz excels. Its large diameter makes it more familiar to frisbee-throwing amateurs and ultimate players. Its stability is perfect for beginners, providing gentle enough turns to be useful in their virgin hands, while teaching them about the benefits of overstability.
If you are looking for a mid-range disc that will go where you want with accuracy and consistency, try the Buzzz. Pick one up and give it a feel, or ask one of the many Buzzz addicts at your local course to let you toss it a couple times. Chances are good that the Buzzz could find a place in your bag and your heart.
With every disc stamped, the Buzzz is cementing its place as a disc golf legend.
Andrew is a new student of the great sport of disc golf. A few rounds with some close friends grew into a love for (or perhaps addiction to) the game. He is always eager to learn, whether it be from fellow disc golfers, written sources, or his own successes and failures. Though he tries to keep his equipment simple, trying out new plastic is just too much fun not to do. His reviews here are his experience with the discs that he has been able to collect.
After living in the disc golf rich area of Southern Michigan, Andrew is now enduring a stint in disc golf purgatory at college in the northern mid-west. His opportunities for field work have never been greater, and his chances to hit up a good course have never been slimmer. That means there's only one thing to do: buy more discs and write about them!

I’m not going to put a lot of effort in reviewing the buzz. It’s Discraft Ultimate utility disc.
Like everyone says it does what ever you do to it. straight anhyzer hyzer(ehh).
The buzz is slow and takes a long time to get where it’s going. sometimes I feel that I have thrown it a mile cause my other discs would have sat down in half the time but it’s just meandering its way down the fairway. The buzz glides……… for ever. fade is so minimal if thrown to high it just stalls out and sorta just sits
I do not like it in the wind.
I do not like it for big hyzers.
I do like it for shorter up shot hyzers.
It drives well and can get surprising distance
I like its anhyzer abilities
I added the buzz to my bag one day before a tournament used it more than any other disc and shot my highest rated round ever….did the buzz make me better …no but it did add a ton of confidence

Not much needs to be said about the Buzzz! In my experience, flies and feels like a slower XS. Excellent glide, very predictable and truly straight flight path. The fade at the end is so minuscule, if you blink, you’ll miss it.
I’ve had 170g Elite Z Buzzz for awhile now, and every time I throw it, I get more impressed each time. The other day, I threw my Buzzz with a really smooth, finesse throw, and almost made a birdie from over 100 feet away from the basket. If only baskets didn’t have tops!
The Buzzz is a great disc for any level player. Beginners will probably find it more reliable and easier to throw than drivers, and pros will find it great for throwing on any line. Forehand or backhand throws, the Buzzz is my most reliable and predictable disc in the bag.

Probably the most popular and sought after of all Discraft discs. Great midrange (almost as good as the Lat. 64 fuse and MVP axis…lol) Everyone else has summed it up pretty well and just wanted to add the below comments:

“A great choice for accuracy and control in most all situations” -Nate Doss
“There is NOT a better midrange disc on the market.” -Eric McCabe
“Unbelievable disc. Will hold any line you put it on.” -Cale Leiviska
“I’m not going to the course if I don’t have my Buzzz.” -Gregg Barsby
“The most versatile disc in my bag.” -Liz Carr
“My go-to disc for most shots between 175-350 feet.” -Jeremy Koling
“No disc golfer is complete without one.” -Liz Lopez

Your either a Roc guy or a Buzz guy. The Buzz has to be the best all around disc made. I have 4 in my bag, all at different stages of wear. No surprises with this disc.

Ahh, the Buzzz. There are times I hate my Buzzz. I hate it when it shows everyone playing with me just how bad my form is. The Buzzz goes where you throw it, plain and simple. Your flippy discs will always flip. Your overstable discs will always fade. The Buzzz holds the line. This is a great disc. It is a great disc to teach new players what a little bit of overstability feels like, but it will remain in your bag as long as you play.

The Buzzz is handsdown my favorite disc!
The can always rely on the Buzzz to do what I want it to do. It can handle a full 100% power drive, how many mids out there can say that. I can rip this disc with confidence. It is a great choice for stable mid and holds any line it is thrown on. If you carry three or four in different stages of wear the buzzz will be the only mid you really need for just about any golf line imaginable.
The Buzzz is available in every plastic line that discraft makes. Giving even more options in stability. I find the Z Buzzz to have the best stability and durability of all.

The Buzzz is the greatest midrange ever made. As other reviewers have said it holds almost any line you can put it on. It is a faster mid and can be used like a fairway driver. Its a great skip disc for being a mid. But the best thing about a Buzzz is the fact that once you find one in a plastic you like your pretty much guarenteed to get the same disc everytime. The conistency of the Buzzz is unmatched and blows the ROC out of the water. You wont have to run around looking for First Runs or special makes and years. Just buy a Z Buzzz and you know what one will fly like for life.

I have a Cryztal buzzz and an elite-x modified wasp buzzz and I love them both! I am throwing perfectly straight shots with the cryztal buzzz! They look amazing when you throw them dead straight at the basket and they have very little fade at the end to keep you close! Definitely my favorite disc for anything 180-275!

Most versitile midrange on the market. It can hold any line right out the box. Available in many plastic options for the perfect feel. Large diameter and shallow rim makes for easy release. Buzzz has amazing glide and can hold up in stronger winds. Great beginner disc. Also, the mold/disc feels very consistant from run to run, this makes replacing your favorite buzzz a simple process. If u dont know what disc to throw….grab a buzzz!

The Buzzz is a very versitle disc. I have one that I can turn over beautifully and one that is still a touch overstable. The buzzz is my top choice for straight shots through the trees. Most plastic styles are still easy to find and affordable in this model. It is a staple in so many disc bags and has converted a long time Roc guy into a Buzzz fan.

This is the only mid in my bag. A great disc with a huge array of plastic to choose from. I carry at least 3 in my bag at all. I have it in three different plastic types all a different job and it is great to have a disc that is capable of so many different shots. The buzzz is my go to in the woods.
-Elite X Buzzz Beat in 6/10, Forehand spike anhyzers, hyzer flips. Most understable buzzz in my bag. This disc breaks in pretty fast and is great for rollers too. I have two aces with this buzzz.
-Elite Z Buzzz thrown condition 8/10, This disc is indestructible and a bit overstable. I throw forehand hyzers with this disc and flex shots for the most part but can rip a straight line too. This is the fastest buzzz in my bag and comes out for the longer mid shots.
-ESP FLX Buzzz 9/10 Holds any line and takes a really long time to beat in. I throw this thing for long tunnel shots mostly but can throw any shot I need with it. It is my stable Buzzz and has just a bit of fade at the end of the flight.
The Buzzz is a great disc for any player and if you haven’t tried it you should. It is an awesome first disc and can be used for one disc rounds very easily. It has also been boosted that the Buzzz has the most disc’s of any disc ever made.

The Z Buzzz was the first midrange I ever bought in premium plastic. I was amazed and it’s ‘point and shoot’ accuracy, but wandered away to try several other mids (including the venerable Roc), only to realize that I had started with the best. This disc does what you tell it to, and in Z plastic, in can be cranked out to 300′+, and will still hold a dead-straight line. It’s a great ‘go right there’ disc, and will never leave my bag again.

Hands down my go to disc. It is a straight flying mid range that flys how you throw it. The Buzzz tends to be more stable the heavier they are, if not thrown at full power and without snap it will have a hyzer finish. I reach for the Buzzz anywhere from 275-375 on a consistant basis. Pick one up and you will not be disapointed.

Best disc in my bag. I carry 5 Buzzes in my bad, different plastics and different level of how beat in the disc is. This disc is perfect for those learning to play of the Advanced player needing a straight and predictable midrange and can hold any line. Living in Wisconsin I have to use the Buzzz in a tight wooded course or out in an open field, does the job not matter what. When you don’t know what to throw, just grab a Buzzz.

The Buzzz is probably the greatest mid range of all time. Out of the box it will hold any line you put it on and it will finish with a slight hyzer at the end of its flight depending on the line or power you put on it. I like to throw a more understable Buzzz (one that is broken in) with hyzer and let it “pop up” to straight and watch it glide towards its target. This is the disc I grab for, for anything in the 180-300 feet range away from the basket either off the tee or on my approach. With so many available plastics and weights I find it easy to have 3 or 4 of these in my bag and be my only mid range mold. I use these over other mid ranges because of the neutral stability and line shaping ability as well as the feel.
