Your next long drive deserves a good origin story
A little mythology, a little First Run appeal, and a whole lot of flight to explore. The Paul McBeth First Run ESP Ares joins Discraft's mythology-themed driver lineup with a glide-focused personality and room to shape a longer line.
This is a distance driver for players who want more than a hard hook at the end of every throw. Its 12 / 6 / -1 / 2 flight numbers pair gentle turn with a finishing fade, giving the shot room to stretch before it comes back toward its landing line.
Find the line that makes you throw another
Picture an open fairway, a clean release, and the disc carrying through the middle of its flight instead of rushing straight into the finish. With enough throwing speed, the Ares can bring that slight turn into play for flowing distance lines and long turnover shapes.
The glide rating of 6 is a big part of its appeal. If you already carry a strongly overstable distance driver, the Ares offers a different role to explore: more movement through the flight, with fade still available at the end. It is a speed-12 driver, though, so lower-power throws may show an earlier fade rather than the full turning line.
ESP: grip you can appreciate, durability you can use
Discraft ESP combines dependable grip with durability, making it a practical blend for a driver you plan to learn and throw regularly. That combination gives you a reason to choose ESP beyond the First Run identity: a comfortable purchase in the hand and plastic built for repeated rounds.
ESP is also known for its swirled color character. Pick the available color and foil combination that speaks to you, then decide whether this First Run belongs in your display or your starting lineup.
Why give the Ares a bag slot?
Because a distance lineup is more useful when every driver does not have the same job. The Ares is worth considering for open drives, glide-focused distance work, and shots where you want a touch of turn before a defined finish. For fans of Paul McBeth's lineup, the First Run release adds another point of interest without changing the job you are asking it to do.
Take it to the field, try a few release angles, and learn how your chosen weight responds. The best reason to keep it in the bag is finding that long line you want to throw again.
