The First Run Ares is Paul McBeth's answer to players who demand more from their distance driver. Born from early prototypes nicknamed "Zeus 2.0," the Ares carved out its own identity — delivering the high-speed feel and shot-shaping of the Zeus with a beefier, more reliable finish that holds up under real pressure.
Whether you're throwing into a headwind, unleashing a full-power forehand, or shaping a flex line around trouble, the Ares locks in and finishes strong. If you've ever wished the Zeus had just a little more fight at the end, this is your disc.
Flight Characteristics
At 12-speed, the Ares moves fast and covers ground — but it's the finish that sets it apart. Expect a predictable, authoritative fade that won't bail on you when the power is on. Overstable enough to handle torque, workable enough to still shape shots.
Speed: 12 | Glide: 6 | Turn: -1 | Fade: 2
