Which Buzzz Is Best? A Guide to the Buzzz, Buzzz SS, Buzzz OS, and the Elusive Buzzz Saw
Posted by Shannon on Jul 30th 2025
If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a wall of Discraft Discs wondering which Buzzz disc is right for your bag, you’re not alone. The Discraft Buzzz lineup includes a few different molds—each with its own vibe, flight pattern, and purpose—and now that the Buzzz Saw (a.k.a. the “Buzzsaw”) is flying off shelves, we figured it’s time to break it all down.
This is your no-nonsense, local-shop-owner take on what makes each Buzzz unique—plus tips on how to pick the best one for your throw style.
The OG: Discraft Buzzz
Flight Numbers: 5 | 4 | -1 | 1
Best for: Just about everyone
This is the disc that put Discraft Discs on the map for a lot of players. The Buzzz is a super-stable midrange that holds any line you put it on. Whether you're throwing it flat, with a bit of anhyzer, or trying to nail a tight tunnel shot, this thing just goes where you tell it to.
-
Great for beginners and vets alike
-
Predictable in most conditions
-
Comes in a wide range of Discraft plastics like Z, ESP, and Titanium
The Buzzz SS (Super Straight)
Flight Numbers: 5 | 4 | -2 | 1
Best for: Newer players or turnover lines
The Buzzz SS is like the Buzzz’s laid-back cousin. The “SS” stands for “Super Straight,” and this disc is perfect if you’re still building arm speed or want something that naturally turns right (for right-handed backhand players).
-
Super easy to throw
-
Great for finesse shots and turnovers
-
Makes a nice complement to a regular Buzzz
The Buzzz OS (Overstable)
Flight Numbers: 5 | 4 | 0 | 3
Best for: Power throwers, windy days, and forehands
If the Buzzz is too flippy or you find yourself playing in Texas wind (hello, Austin!), the Buzzz OS is the control disc you need. It’s beefy, dependable, and excellent for flex lines or sidearms.
-
Handles torque and headwinds
-
Great for utility shots or flex approaches
-
A must-have if you love the Buzzz but want something more stable
The Buzzz Saw (Buzzsaw)
Flight Numbers: (Similar to Buzzz, with a touch more bite)
Best for: Buzzz lovers who want something unique—and collectible
This one’s a bit of a mystery and a lot of hype. The Buzzsaw (or Buzzz Saw) is a recent limited edition mold that's been really hard to keep in stock. Some players say it flies like a slightly beefed-up Buzzz, while others just love the insane artwork and collectibility.
-
Slightly more overstable than a standard Buzzz
-
Sought-after for its limited runs and awesome stamps
-
If you see one—snag it!
