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.”

Why This Release Matters to the Industry

  • Discraft plastics innovation: Fuzed line shows what’s possible with tactile disc design.

  • Community engagement: Frequent limited runs created excitement and urgency.

  • Marketing success: Aligning drops with events like Worlds and DGLO offered visibility and prestige.

So What Should You Pick?

Here’s how the Buzzz Saw stacks up in context with its siblings:

Model Flight Numbers Best For Notes
Standard Buzzz 5|4|−1|1 All-around midrange Reliable, neutral stability
Buzzz Saw 5|4|−1|1 (slightly more stable) Players who want Buzzz + collectible aesthetic Limited-run, tactile grip pattern, slightly more stable flight
Buzzz OS 5|4|0|3 Windy courses, forehand, power shots Most overstable in the Buzzz lineup; torque-resistant
Buzzz SS 5|4|−2|1 Beginners, turnovers, finesse throws Easiest to flip, great for hyzer-flips and controlled turnovers

Final Thoughts: The Buzzsaw’s Legacy

The Buzzz Saw may be a niche release, but its impact on the game can't be overstated. It illustrates Discraft’s willingness to experiment visually and technically. For fans of Discraft plastics, Discraft flight chart nerds, or collectors chasing unique releases—this one delivered.

And for Buzzz fans? It offers just enough twist to spark interest without straying too far from what made this midrange iconic.
