Discraft - Athena - ESP Swirl - Throwing Astro - 2-Foil Stamp

Athena ESP Swirl — Flight Numbers: 7 | 5 | 0 | 2

Master the fairways with the Discraft Athena in ESP Swirl plastic, a versatile, straight-flying control driver developed in partnership with 6-time World Champion Paul McBeth, designed to be the workhorse driver every player needs.

The Athena was created to fill a specific, crucial gap in Paul McBeth's bag: a reliable, straight-to-stable fairway driver that sits perfectly between the slightly understable Passion and the overstable Malta or Raptor. With flight numbers of 7/5/0/2, it offers a point-and-shoot flight path that resists high-speed turn but provides a manageable, forward-penetrating fade. This specific ESP Swirl run offers a premium, eye-catching aesthetic while maintaining the consistent flight integrity the mold is known for. It is an absolute workhorse for tight wooded lines, controlled distance shots, and predictable approaches.

Plastic Feel: ESP Swirl is one of Discrafts most aesthetically pleasing and popular premium blends. It offers a high-durability plastic with a stunning mix of colors swirled together. The feel is often described as slightly gummier or tackier than standard Z-Line plastic, providing excellent grip and a confident release in various weather conditions. The premium nature of the plastic ensures the Athena maintains its flight characteristics for a long time.

Shot Type Strengths:

• The Go-To Fairway Shot: The neutral flight path with a mild fade makes it the ideal disc for threading tight fairways where accuracy is paramount over maximum distance.
  
• Controlled Power Shots: The disc handles power well without flipping over, allowing players to confidently put torque on their throws for longer, yet still controlled, distances.
  
• Forehand Approach Lines: The flat profile and reliable stability make it a great choice for smooth forehand approach shots that require a consistent finish.
  

Gravity Personality: Wield the wisdom of a champion and conquer every fairway with precision — Gravity presents the Athena, the indispensable control driver built for consistency and style.
