Discraft Nuke SS Disc Review
The Discraft Nuke SS is a controllable, high-speed distance driver that trades raw stability for easy turn and effortless glide. With a -3 turn and reliable 3 fade, it hyzer-flips cleanly for players who don’t quite have elite arm speed, while power throwers can unlock sweeping turnovers and long rollers. If you want Nuke distance without the beef, the Nuke SS delivers fast flights that stay in the air and push down the fairway.

Why Throw It
- Speed 13 rim gives you big-driver distance potential, even at modest power.
- Glide 5 keeps the disc aloft for long carries, great for tailwinds and low ceilings.
- Turn -3 makes hyzer-flips easy and helps players with developing arms get full-flight distance.
- Fade 3 adds a trustworthy finish so your turnovers don’t just burn into the ground.
- Excellent value as a roller/utility bomber for advanced arms and a primary distance driver for newer throwers.
Who It Fits
- Beginners: A forgiving first high-speed driver; start on slight hyzer to find straight, gliding flights.
- Intermediate: Reliable hyzer-flips and long turnovers without max effort; sneaky distance in tailwinds.
- Advanced: Money for rollers, standstill turnovers, and shaping woods lines where a stock Nuke is too stable.
Shot Ideas
- Hyzer-flip to Flat: Use the -3 turn to pop from hyzer to straight, riding the 5 glide before a gentle 3-fade finish.
- Sweeping Turnover: Throw flat with 80–90% power to hold a right-moving line (RHBH) that fades late for controlled distance.
- Tailwind Bomb: Let the wind amplify the turn and glide; aim lower to prevent skying out and trust the fade to settle.
- Roller: For big arms, release with slight anhyzer—its understability stands up quickly and covers ground fast.
- Low-Ceiling Drift: Start on modest hyzer; the early flip gets you under branches while the fade checks up at the end.
Want a straighter or beefier pair for your bag? Try the classic Discraft Nuke for more stability, or the Discraft Thrasher for similar glide with a touch less speed.
