When thrown with a backhand or forehand technique, the Discraft Zone will generally fly on a straight line with a slight hyzer angle, which is a left-to-right curve for right-handed players and a right-to-left curve for left-handed players. As the disc loses speed, it will begin to fade to the left (for right-handed players) or to the right (for left-handed players), which makes it ideal for approach shots and accurate landing on the green.
