Discraft Wysocki Fossil
Main Features
Discraft says this about the Fossil: "The Fossil is Ricky Wysocki’s new prototype putt and approach disc, designed as a slow-flying overstable option. Featuring a distinct ringer-style top for added feel, a micro-bead, and dependable torque resistance, the Fossil is universally comfortable for both forehand and backhand throws.
Its deliberate, steady pace makes it perfect for controlled placement shots when precision matters most."
The Fossil has already earned high praise and a permanent spot in Ricky Wysocki's bag. It's an ultra-dependable, overstable approach disc featuring a comfortable thumbtrack for a confident grip.
As a slower, shorter-flying counterpart to the Zone, its lower speed and reduced glide give you a more forgiving flight. This makes it a reliable workhorse for shorter approach shots, both forehand and backhand.
That low-glide design is exactly what provides its signature hit-and-stick flight. You can attack the basket on a spike hyzer and watch it drop straight down without a big, skipping flare. When thrown with power, the Fossil holds a straighter line before its dependable fade gets you to the target.
Like most discs, the Fossil has slight variations that you can use to your advantage:
- Profile: Domey Fossils tend to fly straighter with a little less stability, while flat ones are typically more overstable.
- Plastic: Premium plastics generally offer a little more ground skip, while base plastics are better for sitting down right at the target.
Ricky himself bags multiple Fossils in different plastics and stages of wear, allowing him to cover any shot while keeping that same, consistent feel in his hand.

Phases of Flight
| Low-Speed Fade |

| As the disc slows and spin decreases, the disc pulls out of turn and begins to hook at the end of flight |
| High-Speed Turn |
| The aerodynamic profile turns the disc with the direction of spin during the high-speed phase of flight |
| Forward Push |
| The initial thrust forward during the high-speed phase of flight |
