Welcome to Swanky Disc Off everyone today we are going to give you five discs that are a great replacement for the disc craft Buzz I think the buzz is the best mid-range to ever exist potentially one of the best discs to ever exist but there are a lot of people

Who don’t quite like the hand feel or something they just can’t put their finger on literally and if that is you and you want the Flight of the buzz and the distance out of a mid-range that the buzz gives we’re going to give you five great different discs from different

Companies that maybe you’ve never heard of before but they fly similar or even some people think they fly better let’s jump right into it coming in at number five we have the mint diss Mustang most of the discs out of mint discs are produced and manufactured by MVP so you

Know the plastic is going to be of a very high quality the numbers on this disc are 5502 but from us throwing it around it seems to have a more understable flight than that definitely closer to the 55 or 5411 that the buzz is or the maybe 01 that some other discs

On this list are going to be it has a pretty similar flight to the buzz MVP plastic feels absolutely incredible and mint diss as a whole has cool branding a lot of people are hopping on board uh with just their marketing is really good and the vibe is high so check out the

Mint diss Mustang at number five coming in at number four we have the Gateway element which you guys have been screaming at us in the comments of all of our social medias that the Gateway element is the best thing since sliced bread and it’s got 5511 I believe so one more Glide than

The buzz but it’s coming in gateways super super unique plastic varieties they have a million different Plastics over there they release Plastics like I don’t I don’t know give me a good example there like P logs has Cinnamon Toast Crunch varieties there you go exactly they release a ton of different

Plastic types so it’s going to be a very different hand feel from the buzz if the hand feel of the buzz is what’s really getting you off and you want that negative one1 flight I guess it has a tick more Glide check out the Gateway elements that you are not going to be

Disappointed we love Gateway I puted with the Wizards for a long time they have really good quality control over there definitely going to recommend the Gateway element at number four is Cinnamon Toast C is General Mills coming in at number three we have one that is definitely more wellknown on

This list and very well beloved by the dis golf Comm Community as of late because MVP is skyrocketing in all their different popularity um we have the MVP reactor now the reactor is known to be a little bit more overstable in certain Plastics especially as the numbers would

Suggest which the numbers are 5 5.5 1.5 in other words 01 the eclipse plastic MVP’s glow plastic is actually I think even more overstable than 01 definitely flies more like 02 um but fion reactors and some of these other Plastics you can get it in

Fly very very similar to The Buzz and a lot of people love that hand feel that you get out of the gyro technology the overmold of the rim how it sits in the hand the give of the of the flight plate versus the firmness of the rim uh that’s

Another one that’s going to be just night and day difference in hand feel from the buzz so check out the reactor if you’re looking for something more overstable than a buzz check out the eclipse glow reactor fion reactors have been us here at Swanky’s personal favorite if you guys know Josiah on the

Channel he thinks that the reactor is like his farthest flying disc like it flies far I mean he throws it farther than his distance drivers um and it’s it’s an awesome disc maybe the gyro technology has something to it but if you’re a big gyro fan and you want to

Buzz fion reactor it’s going to be your best friend all right coming in at number two on the list we have the disc that I think is actually the closest most identical buzz like disc that you can get and that is the latitude 64 Claymore we recently had this in their

New Royal Grand orbit Halo plastic that I can’t remember the name of but it flew I’m not kidding you when I say it flew almost exactly like a z plastic or ESP plastic buzz and it feels kind of similar so if it’s just a if the buzz is

Just a little bit off for you or if you just want to try a different company the latit 64 Claymore is great it does have five five negative one1 so also a tick more Glide which will maybe make it feel like it’s giving you a little bit more

Distance or a little bit more flip up when you’re throwing on Heiser um but it flies very similar and of course latitude 64 is known for crazy crazy production quality um that is second to none love their marketing love Jonathan and Johannes and the whole crew over

There at Latitude 64 um Claymore is going to be the closest closest thing to a buzz that you can get without it actually being a buzz now we have the number one disc that can replace the buzz before we jump into it I want to

Button down below and join the swinky team for just 99 cents a month the number one disc to replace your Buzz is going to be the thoughts space Pathfinder numbers on the thoughts space Pathfinder 551 thought space has the coolest graphic design and marketing in the game possibly in any game um they’re

Incredibly unique they have a very very different hand feel from the buzz I would say they feel shallower the numbers are 5501 so they’re also claiming that little tick up and glide from the buzz uh and they fly pretty similar to a buzz maybe a tiny bit on the more understable side also

Manufactured by MVP plastic three out of the five discs on this list are manufactured by MVP uh and I’m not complaining they’re incredible plastic incredibly consistent if you want maybe that more Buzz feel without the over mold of MVP check out the Pathfinder or the Mustang I think the Pathfinder does

Have a tendency to be a little bit more under stable it could also be the same disc I don’t know but the Pathfinder came out a while ago and we have loved it ever since day one before day one it’s such a good disc um and so those

Are your five discs that are a great great alternative to the buzz let us know what you guys think what is your favorite straight flying mid-range let us know in the comments below we will see you guys in the next one stay swanky

  1. Lame… 3 out of 5 molds made by mvp & 2 may be the same disc? Maybe you could check next time or just go with a different title like here are 3 mvp discs to replace your buzzz

  2. Discraft plastic sucks. This new jawbreaker z flx is the best ive felt from them and they wont produce a ton of molds in it.

  3. The DGA Rift should have been number one on this list. Feels just like a Buzzz and flies just like it with a small bit of stability at the end of its flight.

  4. I looked for a backup to my Buzzz for a really long time and then someone gave me the mustang and I agree it’s so similar. However I can never go without my Buzzz first favorite and still in the bag after 18 years.

  5. Yall should try a Yikun Zheng! Feels pretty similar to a Buzzz and flies great for me. I am curious to see how it flies for yall. Nature line plastic feels really good, similar to ESP and it looks really pretty.

  6. The Fission Reactor is my favorite from the list, but I own all five of the molds and would throw any of them on a single disc round.

    I have the Buzzz in several plastics, but throw mainly the Big Z and ESP FLX versions. (The ESP and Titanium occasionally get some time in the bag, but that Crystal one has only been off the shelf a couple of times.)

  7. I will yell and scream every time I do not hear the EMac Truth mentioned in a midrange conversation. It can do it all and that is why I bag 3 of them.

  8. Probably should have combined the pathfinder and mustang since it is the exact same mold and plastic just with different branding

  9. So many people did not listen to the point of this video. Many discs mentioned here fly nothing like or definitely different than a buzz. In particular the mako3 and md1. I’ve found the DD truth to be pretty close. Have not tried the ones you mentioned (because I like my buzzes). Thanks for the video.
