Discraft Roach (Z Metallic)
The Discraft Roach in Z Metallic plastic brings a durable, premium feel to one of Discraft’s straightest, cleanest-flying putt and approach molds. Z Metallic offers the stiffness and longevity of standard Z Line with added shimmer and a firmer, more stable feel in the hand. This blend gives the Roach a crisp release and helps it hold its shape and flight characteristics far longer than baseline plastics, making it an excellent choice for throwing putters and approach work.
Flight Numbers: 2 / 4 / 0 / 1
In flight, the Z Metallic Roach pushes forward on a smooth, neutral line with just a touch of dependable fade at the end. The added stiffness of the Metallic blend provides slightly more torque resistance than softer plastics, giving throwers confidence on both backhand and forehand approaches. Its consistent glide makes it a true point-and-shoot option for longer putter shots while still feeling stable enough to trust in light wind.
