The Buzzz Saw Release: How Discraft’s Latest Midrange is Shaking Up the Game
Posted by Shannon on Jul 30th 2025
When Discraft unveiled the Fuzed Line Buzzz with Saw Pattern—commonly referred to as the Buzzz Saw or Buzzsaw—in late 2024, the disc world buzzed. From stamped “big bees” debuting at Worlds to glow-in-the-dark variants and flight-chart tweaks, this limited-edition midrange has left a big mark on players and collectors alike.
What’s the Buzz About the Buzzz Saw?
Discraft rolled out multiple saw-pattern released versions over a tight timeline:
-
First Release: August 22, 2024 (Big Bee stamp)
-
Second: August 30, 2024 (Small Bee)
-
Third: September 7, 2024 ("Ring of Bees")
-
Fourth: September 7, 2024 (Glo Saw)
-
Fifth: September 19, 2024 (Barstamp edition)
Each iteration paired fresh plastic blends with unique artwork—and players noticed flight tweaks too.
Flight Feel: Slightly Overstable but Familiar
Early community testing suggests:
-
Slightly more overstable than a standard Buzzz
-
Consistent fade and dependable finish
"consistent flight pattern and slightly enhanced stability compared to the standard Buzzz"
On Reddit, one user reported:
“I threw it ... and it flipped over. It’s a turnover nightmare.”
While others felt it flew very similar to a remodeled ESP Buzzz with added bite and visual appeal.
Was the Hype Worth It?
Many collectors picked them up within minutes—but players also noticed performance improvements:
-
Offers grip feedback via rim pattern
-
Handles torque and wind better than baseline Buzzz
-
Yet retains Buzzz's legendary line-holding traits
YouTuber DiscGolfJustice put it bluntly: expected a flippy flight and was “really surprised.”
