Discraft Machete Flight Chart
The Discraft Machete is a wind-fighting, very overstable distance driver with flight numbers 11 | 4 | 0 | 4. Built for precision and control rather than max-glide distance, the Machete thrives in headwinds, flex lines, and aggressive placement shots. Its low-profile, comfortable rim makes it surprisingly controllable for a disc this overstable, and reviewers consistently praise its predictability for both forehand and backhand power throwers.
How the Machete Flies for Developing Arms
For newer or lower-power players, the Machete will act extremely overstable. Expect short, strong hyzers with little to no turn and an early, forceful fade. It can still serve as a reliable utility disc, especially in headwinds or when a predictable dump finish is needed, but it will not fly straight without advanced power.
Machete Flight Numbers for Intermediate Players
Intermediate throwers will experience the Machete as a torque-resistant, wind-proof driver ideal for utility lines. It handles off-axis torque well, meaning small form errors won’t cause unintended turn. The result is a disc you can trust to hyzer hard or flex reliably without surprises. Many players use it for controlled distance into headwinds or tight landing zones.
Advanced Power and Shot-Shaping Potential
Advanced arms unlock the full identity of the Machete: a consistent, force-over distance driver that pushes forward before delivering a sharp, late fade. It excels at skip shots, low-ceiling power hyzers, and flex lines that must fight out every time. Reviewers compare its reliability to true utility discs, describing it as a “scalpel” for windy or technical conditions.
Forehand Flight Path and Wind Performance
Forehand throwers often consider the Machete a go-to tool. Its low-profile rim is comfortable for power grips, and its high fade ensures the disc always finishes even when thrown flat or with torque. Into headwinds, it resists turn better than most 11-speed drivers, making it ideal for windy-day forehand drives or placement flex shots.

Try This Disc
If you need a disc that never turns over, cuts through headwinds, and finishes hard every time, the Machete is built for that role. It’s a true utility and power driver for advanced players or anyone who needs maximum overstability with control.
Puttheads Notes
- One of the most wind-resistant drivers in Discraft’s lineup.
- Excels as a forehand utility disc due to torque resistance and low-profile feel.
- Glide is intentionally low—this disc is built for control, not max distance.
- A great replacement for players wanting more overstability than the Predator or Surge.
