A popular fairway driver thrown by the likes of Paul Mcbeth and Missy Gannon, the Discraft Undertaker is great. It fills the stable fairway driver spot in the Discraft line-up and is uber-workable on any hole shape.
Right away, players will notice the fairly shallow rim depth which feels excellent in hand. Many backhand specialists will love the nearly flat top feel of the Discraft Undertaker.

Here’s what Discraft has to say about the Undertaker:
Most players have one versatile driver they reach for most often, and Undertaker is the new choice. This straight flyer fills many needs for many different skill levels: it doesn't get flippy for power throwers, isn't hard to control for low-power players. Great glide, smooth finish, nice grip, big wins.

Undertaker Flight path chart
Here's a Discraft Undertaker flight chart to give you a basic idea of how it's going to fly!
Plastics
Z: The most stable run of Undertaker out of the box, Discraft’s Z plastic is grippy and stiff. Players looking to get the most out of their durability and stability will prefer Z plastic.
Big Z: Softer than standard Z, Big Z has a pearlescent look with good durability characteristics. An Undertaker in Big Z will fly stable at first but will eventually break in for a more mellow flight path.
ESP: A Discraft Undertaker in ESP plastic provides the softest and grippiest feel out of all runs. ESP tends to break in considerably faster than most plastics and is great for players looking to cycle discs.
Titanium: Similar to Big Z with a slightly stiffer feel, Discraft Ti plastic is usually more mellow out of the box. Titanium Undertaker’s gained popularity in the 4 Claw McBeth collection and are a great addition to any bag.
