Less weight in the hand. Plenty of flight to explore.
Love the idea of a gliding power driver, but prefer a lighter disc? The Discraft Anax Z Lite puts Paul McBeth's signature Anax mold into Discraft's extra-lightweight plastic line. It is an option for players who want to explore a lower-weight driver without choosing a mold designed around easy turnover shots.
The Anax combines generous glide with a strong finish. Its 10 / 6 / 0 / 3 ratings give you a useful starting point: room for forward carry, resistance to turn, and fade that deserves a place in your shot plan.
Let the glide do its part
Start with open placement drives and broad hyzer lines where the disc has space to travel before finishing. Players with enough throwing speed can explore that balance of carry and fade without jumping to a maximum-speed driver.
Picture a tee shot with a generous lane and a landing zone that welcomes a finishing curve. That is a better introduction to the Anax than a narrow line demanding a gentle turnover. Learn how far it carries on your release, then use its finish as part of the route.
What makes Z Lite different?
Discraft identifies Z Lite as its extra-lightweight line. The practical difference is the lower disc weight, giving players who prefer a lighter setup another way to approach the Anax. It belongs to the durability-focused Z family, making it an option for regular rounds as well as fieldwork.
A lighter driver may feel more comfortable to accelerate for some players, but it is not an automatic distance upgrade. Weight can also change how a disc responds to your throw and the wind. Compare it with your usual driver in calm conditions first rather than assuming it will fly exactly like a heavier Anax.
A lighter choice, not a shortcut
Bag this version if you want to try the Anax's power-driver role at a lower weight. It can sit alongside straighter or more turn-prone drivers, giving you another option when the intended line calls for a pronounced finish.
Lower-power players should still expect the fade to show up earlier. The best reason to choose Z Lite is that the lighter weight suits your hand and throwing style, not a promise that an overstable driver becomes beginner-friendly.
