<>Flight Numbers & Performance
The Ares operates on official flight ratings of Speed: 12, Glide: 6, Turn: -1, and Fade: 2. It requires substantial arm speed to unlock its full potential, but rewards confident throwers with massive downfield carry.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 6 | -1 | 2 |
How the ESP Ares handles off the tee:
- Incredible Glide: Features an upgraded, aerodynamically modified wing profile designed to generate massive lift, keeping the disc airborne longer than traditional 12-speeds.
- Dependable Finish: Rather than a sharp, dumping meat-hook finish, the 2-fade provides a dependable forward-pushing drop that helps the disc stay online longer.
- Ares vs. Zeus: While it shares a very comfortable hand feel with the Zeus, the Ares was retooled with increased torque resistance to handle aggressive, maximum-power releases and fight headwinds without rolling over.
The ESP Plastic Advantage
Discraft's ESP plastic is famous for its vibrant, swirly aesthetics and top-tier performance. It offers a perfect middle ground between the extreme stiffness of Z-Line and the softer, grippier feel of standard baseline plastics. ESP provides a tacky, reliable grip in changing weather conditions and maintains its factory flight characteristics for a very long time, making it the perfect choice for a workhorse distance driver.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Ares the "Zeus 2.0"?
During its testing phase, players quickly realized the Ares felt similar to the Zeus but offered a much stronger resistance to turning over. It is built to be a more stable, torque-resistant option, making it the go-to choice when you need a Zeus-like flight into a headwind or when throwing with maximum power.
Who should throw the ESP Ares?
The Ares is designed for advanced players and power throwers. Because it requires a lot of arm speed to access its massive 6-glide and slight -1 turn, slower arms will find it acts like a heavily overstable utility disc. For big arms, it is a shapeable, long-distance bomber.
