The Discraft Z Sled is a putt-and-approach disc built for touch, angle control, and short placement shots. Its distinctive rolled groove-top thumbtrack gives your thumb a defined resting area for both backhand approaches and touch forehands, while durable Z plastic makes it an option for regular use.
A different feel for your approach game
Inspired by the rolling terrain of Toboggan and originally introduced in connection with the 2026 PDGA World Championships, the Sled puts placement ahead of speed. This is the Z-blend Sled, not the Kitchen Sink UltraSled with added UltraStar-inspired Flight Rings.
- Rolled thumbtrack: A distinctive grip feature for players who like thumbtrack-style control.
- Durable Z plastic: A long-lasting blend for repeated practice and rounds.
- Backhand approaches: Work on controlled releases into your chosen landing area.
- Touch forehands: An approach option that does not require overpowering the throw.
Placement rather than maximum carry
With listed flight ratings of 3 / 2 / -1 / 2, the Sled combines low glide with mild rated turn and a defined finish. When you have a short upshot left, settle your thumb into the groove, choose your landing line, and use the smooth release you have learned in practice.
Choose it for controlled approaches and short placement lines, not as a dedicated roller or overhead utility disc. Low glide does not guarantee an instant stop; skips and rolls depend on your landing angle and the terrain.
