Discraft Crank

Discraft Crank – High-Speed Distance Driver with Controlled Turn

The Discraft Crank is a high-speed distance driver designed for power throwers who want maximum distance with just the right touch of turn. With flight ratings of 13 | 5 | -2 | 2 and a Discraft stability rating of 1.3, the Crank offers a balanced mix of speed, glide, and late fade that makes it ideal for long, full-send backhand drives.

Often described as a hybrid between the Nuke and Nuke SS, the Crank delivers a slightly more manageable flight path while still maintaining top-level distance potential. It’s fast and stable enough for advanced players to trust in windy conditions, but also workable enough for intermediate players to get distance gains without needing elite arm speed.

Why Choose the Crank?

• Speed + Glide: One of the easiest 13-speed drivers to get real distance out of.
• Workable Flight: Slight turn for big S-curves, with enough fade to trust on the finish.
• Nuke/Nuke SS Hybrid: Offers the best of both worlds—control and speed.
• Great for Power Throws: Designed for players who want to “crank” the disc with full power.
• Stability Rating 1.3: Mildly overstable but accessible for bigger intermediate arms too.

Flight Ratings:

• Speed: 13
• Glide: 5
• Turn: -2
• Fade: 2

Who Should Throw the Crank?

• Advanced Players: Trust it for long bombs and shaping long distance S-lines.
• Intermediate Throwers: Unlock max distance with a touch of turn and reliable finish.
• Power Backhand Drivers: Ideal for big-arm players who want both speed and control.
• Fans of the Nuke Series: A great complement or replacement for the Nuke or Nuke SS.
