Discraft Mantis

Discraft Mantis – Straight Fairway Driver with Controlled Glide

The Discraft Mantis is a dependable, slightly understable fairway driver designed for controlled drives, smooth turnovers, and consistent glide. With flight ratings of 8 | 4 | -2 | 2, the Mantis delivers a reliable flight path that’s approachable for intermediate players and a finesse tool for advanced arms. Originally introduced as the 2013 Ace Race disc, the Mantis earned a permanent spot in Discraft’s lineup due to its versatility and easy-to-throw profile.

Featuring a comfortable rim and a controllable dome, the Mantis excels in straight-line flights and hyzer-flip shot shaping. Whether you’re threading fairways or dialing in precision drives, this disc performs with a touch of high-speed turn followed by a predictable fade.
