The Captain’s Raptor Legacy Continues
Since its debut, the Paul Ulibarri Captain’s Raptor has been the go-to choice for forehand specialists, power throwers, and players looking for an ultra-reliable, overstable fairway driver. Discraft's Co-Captain, Paul Ulibarri has played a key role in shaping this mold, ensuring it meets the demands of elite players who need consistency and trust in every throw. The 2025 Z Swirl Captain’s Raptor continues that tradition, bringing back a fan-favorite plastic with one of the most overstable flights to date—rivaling the First Run release.
What Makes the 2025 Captain's Raptor Different?
For 2025, the Captain’s Raptor features our Z Swirl plastic blend, reminiscent of the 2020 Tour Series run, which remains a fan favorite to this day. This blend is known for its incredible swirls, unique webbed patterns, and eye-catching color combinations—making each disc a standout. This Z Swirl plastic offers a firm, grippy feel with minimal flex, ensuring excellent durability and consistent performance in all conditions.
Updated Stamp: “Overstable Modified Raptor”
This year’s edition also features a refreshed stamp, now labeled as the “Overstable Modified Raptor.” This update reinforces what the Captain’s Raptor has always been—a more overstable, torque-resistant version of the standard Raptor.
