The heat in z line is flippy. I bought mine abit lighter also 160g. Its great for the woods when you dont want to throw full power but want a nice s curve. Also nice turnovers are so easy to thrown with this disc ! 

great beginner disc!

The Heat is a disc that is perfect for beginners and advanced players alike, and everyone can benefit from it in their bag. You can reach a very good distance with already a relatively low arm speed. Unlike the flight numbers might suggest, I would classify the Heat as a very straight flying fairway driver, with the ESP plastic being more understable than the Z plastic for example.
The rim is somewhat rounded and relatively narrow, which gives the disc a very good and comfortable feel in the hand. Compared to other fairway drivers, the Heat has a relatively high dome, which explains the glide value of 6 and the feel of the dome is similar to a Nuke. I personally throw the Heat in CryztalZ plastic, which has a slightly deeper dome than the ESP plastic.
All in all, the Heat is a bit more stable than the flight numbers suggest. I actually bought the Heat to have a fairway driver that goes into the turn easily, but got a disc that flies dead straight, which makes it an essential disc for me for narrow, very straight woods fairways. Players with a much higher arm speed use the disc for both rollers and turnover sots.
