   The Nuke I throw the most and have bagged is a 170g domey Z Nuke. I have also thrown a 172g flat Z, and an unknown weight ESP Nuke. The ESP Nuke broke in incredibly quick and got to be extremely flippy. The domey Z Nuke is more flippy and has more glide than the flatter version. The flat one still has some turn, but it doesn’t get quite the distance of the one with the dome.

   I only throw the Nuke on more open holes where I have to have as much distance as possible (more than 450′). This disc is very sensitive to release angle, nose angle, and speed. Get everything right, and it bombs, but if something is off by just a small amount, then you will likely be watching this disc travel a long way in an unwanted direction. Even when you seemingly hit everything right, it is still tough to be precise with it.

   This disc doesn’t like headwinds since it is understable. It can be managed in light right to left winds, but the best winds to throw it are tailwinds or wind coming from behind and slightly left to right.

   I can’t give the Nuke a rating better than a 4 because it seems to be inconsistent in how it molds and because of how sensitive it is to the release, but they all go really far.

   Nuke is a very fast stable driver with lots of glide and distance potential. Some Nukes tend to be more overstable than others specially the heavier premium plastics. Great long distance hyzer flips and huge turn-over shots are possible with the Nuke. Probably one of the most popular molds of all Discraft Max D drivers and has nice counter-parts in the OS/SS molds which are very different discs but with the same feel. Below are the thoughts of some of Discraft Pro’s who have thrown this disc:

   “The fastest disc in my bag! This is my long distance straight stable flier for low wind situations.”
   -World Champion Nate Doss

   “It FREAKING BOMBS! I’ve been crushing this disc about 50 feet past my Forces….this thing is HUGE!”
   -World Champion Eric McCabe

   “The NUKE is way faster than anything else, this disc has actually got me throwing farther than I have in years. Despite a recent injury, it allows me to get extra distance with just my normal golf swing and not a big power throw, which is nice because power throws can hurt for me right now.”
   -Michael Johansen

   I don’t know about these especially in ESP plastic, I can get good distance on it but the flight path isn’t very predictable. They are fairly stable until you turn them on more of an anhyzer angle in which case they start to turn way more than I’d like. After Discrafts mass marketing campaign to compete with the Katana they have decided to keep the name Nuke, tune the disc, and release a Nuke OS and SS version, proof that it was flawed to begin with. I like my Nuke SS in Z plastic just fine thank you.

   Poorly-rated. Like or Dislike: 1  5
