Build distance around a smoother line.
The 2026 Valerie Mandujano Tour Series Scorch combines a glide-rich distance flight with Discraft’s Titanium and Big Z Special Blend. Its 11 / 6 / -2 / 2 flight numbers give players with suitable speed an option for hyzer flips, long forward-carrying lines, and controlled turnovers.
This edition adds enhanced grip and lasting durability to a mold known for workable turn. Choose it when you want to shape a full distance flight rather than rely on a driver that finishes hard before the line has time to develop.
Give the glide a useful job
Start the Scorch on hyzer to explore a flip-up flight, matching the release angle to your power. With a clean throw at the right speed, it can stand up and carry down the fairway. A flatter release can produce more turn, opening up broader distance lines when you have room.
Experienced players can also work controlled turnovers that continue forward. Recovery depends on power, angle, height, and conditions, so do not assume every turning shot will fade back before landing.
- Hyzer flips: Fine-tune your release for a flight that rises toward flat and carries.
- Long forward lines: Use glide without reaching for an even faster driver.
- Controlled turnovers: Explore sustained turning routes with suitable height and space.
- Open distance shaping: Give turn and finishing fade enough room to work.
Titanium meets Big Z
Discraft’s Special Blend combines Titanium and Big Z for enhanced grip, durability, and a premium hand feel. Those are practical reasons to choose this 2026 Tour Series version for regular tee-shot duty.
Its blend distinguishes it from the Z Swirl, standard Z, and ESP Scorch releases. Get familiar with your own disc rather than expecting identical flight from every plastic, weight, or run.
Who should reach for it?
You step onto a longer fairway with space to work a distance line. Instead of forcing an overstable driver, you choose a measured hyzer release and let a clean throw bring the Scorch’s turn and glide into play. The goal is a useful flight shape, not simply throwing harder.
It suits players already comfortable with distance-driver speed who want more workable turn in that part of the bag. Slower throws may fade earlier, while stronger throws can need more starting hyzer and more lateral space. Newer players may find a slower fairway driver easier to control while building technique.
