This is a 2.2 stability by Discraft and it’s very overstable!  The disc is considered a Distance Driver, but many think of it as a utility disc.  You pull it out of your bag when you need to get out of trouble since you know exactly what it’s going to do.  The ability to control a distance driver to the basket is far and few in-between on the market. Many Disc Golfers use the Machete for a tomahawk throws.

Here is what Discraft has to say about the disc:

The low profile of Discraft Machete is built to slice through headwinds with unparalleled predictability. Use it with brute force to easily manage upwind shots, or more like a scalpel for on-demand placement precision on a hyzer or flex shot. A medium rim gives you more control and excellent hand-feel.

WHO BAGS THE Discraft Machete

Currently, we don’t see any professionals placing this disc in their bag, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.  Many professionals are working on one disc over and over and over again so they have complete control over the disc.  Also, it’s not said, but one can assume the sponsored players are almost pigeon-holed into throwing specific discs. This just makes sense if you're paying a player to be on your team, they want them to be throwing your discs you are marketing.

The disk has sold well in the public pro

bably for the amazing name and the artwork on all 6 of the current discs is stunning.  There is just something that makes the disc name fit well in players eyes. Swords in general, if you consider a Machete a sword just works great for this overstable monster.
