785 new this week, from players and from around the web.
The Undertaker is their least favourite: they flick understable molds all the time but it seems too touchy forehand.
“Undertaker. Maybe it's just too touchy for forehand? Idk, I flick understable molds all the time. I wanted to like it. I have a few”
Throws their Champion Sidewinder forehand for sweeping left fairways and hard left doglegs; on a slight hyzer it is reliable and fades nice and flat without much ground play.
“Champ Sidewinder. Although i always throw it forehand for sweeping left fairways or hard left dog legs. If you keep it on a slight hyzer it’s usually pretty reliable and”
Bought a Star Mamba after seeing it recommended, but it has been nothing but overstable for them.
“I see a few people suggesting the Mamba but I bought one in Star plastic and it's been nothing but overstable for me”

Likes the MVP Impulse for a reliable turn that holds.
“I like an MVP Impulse for a reliable turn that holds. Axiom Virus is also got crazy turn but often”
Finds the DD great if you never want fade: hyzer flips turn forever, a flat release becomes a roller, and it is great for sky rollers.
“The Discmania DD is great if you never want any fade on it. Hyzer flips turn forever and a flat release will get you a roller. They’re great”
Bags a nine-disc all-glow setup and can get their Roadrunner up to about 350 ft, using it for long hyzer flips, turnovers and rollers.
“I can get my roadrunner up to \~350, sometimes it is more, sometimes it is less. So what do you”
An MP40 player with a max distance around 360 ft who bags the Heat as an overstable-to-straight driver and finds it gets distance-driver distance for them.
“"Drivers" - Grace, Heat (overstable, straight) The Heat gets distance driver distance for me. Fairways - Firebird, Teebird, Leopard (overstable, straight, understable) Mids - Bobcat, Buzzz SS (overstable,”
Didn't find much use for a midrange at one stage, but their Neutron Reactor has been doing solid work even with a bad forehand, and they recommend anyone give it a try.
“I didn't find that much use for a midrange at one stage but the Reactor has been doing some solid work even with my bad forehand. Definitely recommend anyone giving”
Their only mid is the Arachnid: a very versatile hyzer-flip disc that goes surprisingly far.
“Mid: arachnid, it’s such a versatile hyzerflip disc and really goes silly far. Drivers: Mantra”
Throws the Crave straighter and about as far as higher-speed fairways or flippy, neutral drivers.
“I throw a Crave straighter and about as far as a higher number fairway or a flippy/ neutral driver.... a variety of mids has less”
Can throw their Trail anywhere from 200 to 375 ft with lots of control; it is one of the four discs that get over 90% of their use.

As a beginner, has two F2 Mako3s that feel like completely different discs: one has a driver profile and the other an approach profile.
“Two Mako 3s (both F2 and they feel like completely different discs, one with a driver profile and one with an approach”
Hated their Valkyrie at first but came around to it; of the neutral-to-understable MVP-family 9-speeds they've thrown (Virus, Inertia, Impulse), the Insanity is the one that clicked.
“I've thrown some other neutral/understable MVP 9 speeds (Virus, Inertia, Impulse) and the Insanity is the one that just clicked for me.”
Finds Wraiths and Shrykes similar, but trusts the Wraith more for some fade at the end, while their GStar or old beat-in Champion Shrykes bomb.
“Shrykes and Wraiths are similar, but I trust Wraiths more for some fade at the end, whereas Shrykes for me bomb when I use gstar or an old”
Calls the Bokeh money: dead straight, maybe a -1/1 depending on arm speed, and they love it for both backhand and forehand.
“That Bokeh is MONEY. Dead straight, maybe a -1/1 depending on your arm speed. Love that disc for backhand and forehand. My”
The Zone was their first purchase after a five-to-six-year break and is now one of their favourite discs from 230 ft in; they picked up a DX one to beat in in the woods.
“Recently picked up a Zone in DX plastic in hopes to beat it in quicker out in the woods. The Zone was my first purchase of a disc getting back”
Calls Invaders money: they now use an Atom and Pilot combo but say the Invader was really good with top-notch hand feel.
“Invaders are money. I use a combo of Atom and Pilot nowadays but idk why I ever stopped using Invader bc it was really good. Handfeel is top notch. I”
Bought the Sync in DX and Star plastic and finds it really not bad, quite similar to their Envy.

Likes throwing Lunas: they hold the line and have a dependable fade at the end.
“I like throwing Luna’s. They hold the line and have a dependable fade at the”

Finds a Neutron Envy flies like a slightly shorter midrange.

Their Luster Aviar3 is their favourite disc of all time, and they are trying hard to hold onto theirs since they are hard to find.
“Luster Aviar3! It's my favorite disc of all time and annoyingly hard to find nowadays so I'm really trying to hold onto”
The Reko is their current putter in K1 Hard; they don't like the feel of K3 and find plain K1 too tacky for a putter, though great for drivers.
“Reko is my current putter, in K1 Hard. I don't like the feel of K3 and plain K1 is just too tacky for a putter.”
Their Electron Proxy is their current putter: flat, shallow and dead straight, and with smaller hands it putts and throws great for them.
“Electron Proxy is my current putter. I love the electron plastics, flat, shallow, and dead straight. I have smaller hands so the Proxy putts/ throws great for me.”
Putts with the Deputy: super shallow and glidey, so they don't have to change their aim point much from 15 to 50 ft.
“Deputy is what I use. Super shallow and glidey which I like since I don’t have to change my aim point much from 15’-50’”
Putts with the Atom: super flat and shallow; deeper putters like Aviars, Aeros, Magnets and Lunas would occasionally catch on their hand on release.
“Atom. It is super flat, shallow. I previously putted with deeper putters and felt that aviars, Aeros, magnets, Luna's, all would catch on my hand coming out occasionally”
Throws only Champion Teebirds and finds them more stable out of the box than they expected.
“I’ve never paid much attention to flight numbers so I haven’t looked to see if they’re any different from regular teebirds but my experience is the ones I’ve thrown have”
The Harp is their favourite overstable 4-speed: of the many they have tried it fits their hand best, though local stores mostly stock baseline plastic.
“It's my favorite in the slot for sure. I've tried a lot of 4 speed overstable discs and the Harp fits my hand the best. My local stores”
Their Big Jerm Particle Glow Tempo is almost flippy, while their Proton Tempo is the exact opposite.
“I have a Big Jerm particle glow Tempo, and it's almost flippy. I have a proton Tempo that is the”
Finds the Stasis pretty dependable, but it actively tries to fall out of the air, which probably rules it out of a Zone-style slot.
“Stasis is pretty dependable, but the fact that it is actively trying to fall out of the air probably disqualifies it from the slot.”
Used their GStar Pig as a stable beefy disc, but the GStar beat in fast and now it flips up and then hyzers hard.
“I used to use the Pig as my stable beefy disc, but it's g Star. Crazy to watch it flip up now and then hyzer hard. That g”
Finds the Deflector absurdly overstable, giving easy flex lines and a rock-solid flight; its low glide means they can throw a full shot and still expect it to drop like a rock.
“Deflector. Three thing is absurdly overstable which leads to easy amazing flex lines and a rock solid flight. The low glide means I can throw a full shot and still”
Finds the retooled Sexton Rat a fine Zone clone in Champion Color Glow; it hasn't kicked their Zone out but they wouldn't panic if the Zone disappeared.
“Re-tooled Sexton Rat is a damn fine Zone clone and comes in champ color glow. Hasn’t kicked my Zone out of the bag, but if it disappeared I”
Bags four Mayhems at 63–65 mph with 1100–1200 rpm: Plasma is very overstable for the numbers, Neutron (especially flatter ones) neutral to flippy, and Proton in between.

As a new player, the Halo Fox and the Fuse have been their bread-and-butter discs lately.
“The Halo Fox and Fuse have been my bread and butter lately as a new player. I bag those and”
The Catalyst is their workhorse neutral driver: less touchy than some Axiom molds and it beats in nicely in Proton.
“If you like the bigger rim of a 13 speed, give the Catalyst (MVP) a try. It’s my workhorse neutral driver and I’ve found them to be less”
Has three Octanes: the Proton is a meat hook that barely goes anywhere, the Neutron is very hard to turn, and the Plasma bombs on lovely S-lines if thrown right.
“I have three octanes 13 speed. The proton is just a meat hook and barely goes anywhere. The neutron is very hard to turn and the plasma just bombs for”

“I prefer a DD3 personally. The only destroyer I’ve ever owned is a tour series duo destroyer and it is comically overstable”
Their Neutron Terra started out beefy but after a couple of tree hits became workably overstable with no flip; beat in it is a true 8/4/0/2, flat and great forehand and backhand.
“Neutron Terra - Starts out pretty beefy, but a couple tree hits and it becomes workably overstable without any flip up. Its beat-in form becomes a true 8/4/0/2, and it’s”
A long thrower who finds Neutron Teslas fairly beefy new but they beat in to a hyzer-flip or long force-over disc for big distance; they like them better than a PD.
“Neutron Tesla is the ticket. New they’re relatively beefy, but they beat in to a hyzerflip or long force over disc perfect for big distance with little air space. I”
Liked the Neo Instinct's plastic and feel, but it was a touch too understable at their ~450 ft power, right on the edge of turning, so it was really inconsistent for them.
“Neo Instinct — liked the plastic and feel but this a touch too understable; it felt like it was just at a bad spot for my power where it was”
Bags a 175 g Z Buzzz as their neutral mid and calls it the GOAT for a neutral mid, with a beat-in Champion Lion a close second.

Neither their Comet nor their Buzzz SS really turns for them, but a Westside Tursas works wonders in that understable slot.

Loves their Dynamic Discs Verdict as their overstable midrange.
“Love my DD Verdict for overstable midrange and the WS Tursas for understable. I would consider a WS Gatekeeper for”
Finds the Buzzz OS workably overstable: thrown RHFH it pushes straight at high speed and reliably finishes right.
“Buzzz OS has solid workable overstability, meaning I can throw it straight on RHFH and it will push straight on high speed stability and reliably finish right but”
Bags a Glo Buzzz, Buzzz SS and Meteor that all feel the same in hand; the Meteor is the most important disc in their bag because they have no long or mid-range forehand.
“I bag a GLO Buzz, Buzz SS, and a Meteor. They cover all my midrange needs. All feel the exact same in the hand. My Meteor is the most important”
Loves the Detour, which flies like a beat-in Buzzz or Buzzz SS and feels more torque resistant than discs competing for its slot.
“Detour is like a beat in Buzzz or Buzzz SS, Reactor is like a fresh Z Buzzz... But like a really good and stable run of it. And”

“Got the Seppo Paju Swarm that dropped just a few days ago. It feels almost like a buzzz, but is a true meathook of a”

Finds the Westside Anvil an absolute meat hook.
“Absolute meathook is Westside Anvil. For my undestable i really”
The River was their max-distance disc by a long way for a long time, basically a high-speed Glitch, though it depends on arm speed.
“River was my max distance disc by a long shot for a long time. It was basically my high speed glitch. I think it really”
Can throw their Maul on a hyzer-flip rope and have it go forever, though it is very touchy; River and Maul love to stay in the air and die out slowly.
“I can throw my Maul on hyzer flip rope and have it go forever. It's super touchy, though. The River and Maul love to stay in the air and die”
Throws the Saint and finds it just keeps going, noticeably more glide than a Hex or Buzzz.
“I throw the Saint and that thing just keeps going it’s actually very noticeable from let’s say a Hex/Buzzz. I”
The Fuse clicked for them: they started with it in beginner plastic, liked it so much they got it in Gold, and it feels great thrown forehand.
“For me it's the Latitude 64 Fuse. Started with it in beginner plastic, and I liked it so much I got it in the gold plastic. I'll probably get it”
Finding a Leopard in the woods changed their early game: their Valkyrie was too overstable for a rookie arm, but the Leopard flew straight every time and gave them confidence.
“Finding a Leopard in the woods changed my game early on. Before, my only driver was a Valkyrie which was too overstable for my rookie arm, but the Leopard flew”
Has lost two Servos and keeps several backups: they start with a touch of reliable finish and beat into straight shooters.

A 15-year Buzzz thrower who still throws Buzzzes but loves the Hex too: it feels like a faster, flatter Buzzz.

Finds the Nuke perfectly counteracts their form and their anhyzer flicks.
“The Nuke. It perfectly counteracts my crap form and Ante flicks. 😂 Probably a bad”
Doesn't quite have the arm speed for a 10-speed, but the Gorgon behaves great on many shots on their local courses, like a long-range Leopard.
“The Gorgon. I don't quite have the arm speed to match the 10 speed disc, but man it's great in many shots on my local courses with the way it”
A Champion Toro quickly kicked their soft Pro Pig out of the bag: the harder they throw it, the straighter it goes.
“Champ Toro kicked my soft pro Pig out of the bag almost immediately. The harder you throw it, the straighter”
The Brave has a bit more turn and goes a little further than their Coast, and it solved a 350 ft downhill hole that had been their nemesis for over a decade.
“The Brave is pretty much the same, maybe a bit more turn, and it goes a little farther than the Coast. It solved a hole that has been my nemesis”
After losing their beat-in Truth they spent a year trying to replace that mid flight and found the Claymore, now their choice for one-disc rounds.
“Later when I lost my beat in Truth and only EMac was in stock, I spent a year trying to replace that mid flight and discovered the Claymore, which is”

“Thunderbird. It's gotten to the point that I don't care about what plastic it is if it's at least 165 grams I can make it work. My sweet spot is”
Was given a Raptor by a stranger and knew from the first throw it was their new forehand disc; it felt right coming out of the hand.
“I was given a Raptor by a stranger at BRP in Minnesota. First throw and knew it was my new forehand disc. The disc felt right coming out”
The Signal is slow enough to throw well but fast enough to get great distance on a hyzer flip, and they throw it better than any of their drivers.
“MVP Signal. Low enough speed that I can throw it well, but fast enough that I can get great distance out of it with a hyzer flip. I”
The Jay goes 275–300 ft on a smooth backhand with a little fade; they almost aced with a 173 g one in its first round and it is their favourite stable Innova midrange.
“Keeps getting taken in and out of the bag cause too much overlap from my zone but the Innova Jay. Smooth backhand for 275-300 with a little bit of fade.”

Loved their 165 g Champion Valkyrie when they were starting out.
“As for disc recommendations: I loved my 165g Champion Valkyrie when I was starting out,”
Finds the Premier MD3 hilariously domey for an MD3 and vile to hold, though they haven't noticed Q-Line being especially quick to beat in.
“Hilariously domey for a MD3 ergo vile to hold. That being said, I’ve not noticed Q-line being particularly easy to beat in unless you’re hammering trees frequently or”
Uses a beat-up P3x as their line-holding throwing putter; it took about six months of one or two rounds a week to reach the sweet spot.
“My beat up P3X is what I use for this slot, took about 6 months of 1-2 rounds a week to get it in the”
Loves the Praxis as a line-holding throwing putter: a gentle, slow flip-up rather than a snap, very workable while very straight.
“I really love the Praxis for this. It does have some flip but very gentle slow flip up not a snap flip to flat kinda thing. Very workable”
Thrown flat, their XT Nova holds true until its spin slows, then just drops.

“Not mentioned, the Kastaplast Malm is really excellent. Reliably OS, gets some stand up and turn, goes a long way.”
Finds S-Line PDs less stable than their numbers, flying like 10/4/0/1, while C-Line PDs fly like a real 10/4/0/3.
“To be fair the s-line PD and the s-blend Roman are both less stable than the flight numbers suggest. They fly like 10/4/0/1 to me. The c-line/c-blend fly like an”

Finds the Ohm solid but really stable, so not great for shaping shots.
“Ohm is solid, but really stable so not great for shaping shots if that's what you're focused on. (Either that, or I'm”

“Right now it is the Range. I can throw it as hard as I can and trust that it doesn't go more than 80 meters. It slowly flips up and”
Uses the Berg for straight or slowly turning forehands in their short-course three-disc bag of Tactic, Berg and Proxy.
“Tactic, berg, proxy is my short-course 3 disc bag. I basically use the proxy for straight (or slowly turning) backhands, the berg for straight (or slowly turning) forehand, and the”
Recommends the Mirage, especially in Star: flippy but very workable for hyzer flips or turnover shots, with a lot of glide for a putter.
“I’ll throw out the Mirage, especially in Star plastic. It’s flippy but very workable for hyzer flips or turnover shots and has a lot of glide for a”
Recommends the Runway: overstable enough for forehands, plenty of speed but not so glidey it gets away, really reliable on a baby flex and super predictable.
“My all-around rec is the Streamline Runway - overstable enough for forehands, plenty of speed but not so glidey that it'll get away from you, and really reliable on a”
Their favourite mold to throw is the FD, as a self-described tunnel-shot junkie.
“Would you believe me if I told you my favorite mold to throw is the FD? I’d consider myself a tunnel shot junkie as of late.”
Finds the Fierce perfect for a slight-hyzer release that flies dead straight or drifts late and slow, without fading out at the end like their Buzzz.

Calls the Suspect a shallow midrange with putter diameter that is perfect for one-disc short rounds in the woods, backhand and forehand.
“Suspect. There’s a lot of overlap with the suspect and a zone SS, eclipse envy, etc., so it flies under the radar. Basically a shallow mid range with a putter”
Uses the Uplink for slow straight shots up to 200 ft; thrown like a 3-speed it flies straight, while thrown like a 5-speed it shows turn.
“I use an Uplink for slow, straight shots up to 200 feet. The numbers on the disc say 5-speed, but the rim width is representative of a 3-speed.”
Uses the Rhyno for almost all shots under 250 ft, especially forehand: it resists off-axis torque so well they can crank it without overshooting, and it holds turnovers easily.
“Innova Rhyno for almost 100% of my shots under 250 feet, especially forehand; it resists OAT so well and you can really crank it as hard as you can without”
Finds the R-Pro Dart very controllable and straight.
“Alternatively, the R-Pro Dart is very controllable and straight.”

Needed a more overstable Explorer, Teebird or Athena, and the Royal Orbit Glory is exactly that.

Their Eagle flies like a slightly slower Firebird with a little more push.
“Eagle I have is just a slightly slower firebird with a little more push. Volt can carry straight”
Sold their FD3 because the Westside Longbowman works much better for them; it is their favourite in the 8–9 speed class.
“I had an fd3 I sold it because westsides longbowman works much better for me. I have splice and firebird but I don't bag them. I bag my beat in”
Loves their Honor: not very beefy but holds up well in wind and flies really consistently, and a backhand anhyzer with it is their go-to reset on a bad round.
“I love my Lat64 Honor, and bag Teedbird3 as well, and have bagged Teebird before. Not beefy beefy, but holds up well in the wind, and flies really consistent. Throwing”
Likes the stock Lucid Felons from seven or eight years ago, but the current runs don't agree with them in hand feel.
“Felon. But I like the stock Lucid felons from like 7 or 8 years ago. The current runs don’t agree with me in hand-feel.”

“I’m just speaking from someone that has many different putters, including the two mentioned, that I feel the Banger GT falls quickly when putting with it.”

“Anyway, I really only get better results with the Pure. The grip on it feels more like a mid than a thicker, domey disc. Ive”
Berg, Berg X and Range are the only putters that feel comfortable forehand for them thanks to the puddle top; the Berg X holds up well and is point-and-shoot on a forehand.
“Berg/Berg X and range are the only putters that feel comfortable in the hand for forehands for me. Just that puddle top shape. Berg x really holds up well and”
Has thrown the Mystere for years: their 159 g Halo one is a dream and GStar ones are even more understable.
“Innova Mystere. I have a 159 halo that is a dream and then gstar ones are even more understable. Been throwing one for years now”
Throws 400 ft consistently and finds their Halo Star Tern surprisingly stable; suggests a Star Tern for easy turnovers.

Their ESP Hades flips like crazy but has a much more pronounced fade than a Mamba.
“I also have a esp Hades that flips like crazy but it has a much more produced fade compared to”
Just got a D6 they like more than expected: on a slight hyzer release it fades the whole flight with decent hook-up, and they expect it to become a longer Underworld.
“I just got a Prodigy D6 that I like way more than I thought I would. Slight hyper release and it fades the whole flight with a decent hook-up at”
Tried a Mamba they didn't love and an Orbital so flippy on its first throw that they gave it away after one day of fieldwork.
“I have also tried a Mamba which I didn't love and an Orbital which was so flippy on my first throw that I gave it away after one day of”
The Destiny has been their main driver for five years and probably will be for the foreseeable future.
“Westside Destiny. Its been my main driver for 5 years and will most likely stay that way for the foreseeable”
Likes understable discs for sticky situations; the Rhythm and the Sonic have both been great for short right hooks where they can't forehand.
“I like my understable discs for the occasional sticky situation, have you heard of the rhythm? Also Sonic? Both have been great for short right hooks where I can’t forehand”
Uses a Berg and Järn approach combo and loves having both, because there are many shots the Berg can't make where they want something longer and more overstable.
“Both. I use Berg and Jarn approach combo, and I love having that option. There are so many shots the Berg cannot make where you want something longer and more”
The Berg is their go-to approach, reliable once they figured it out; they use an Entropy or Maiden out of range, and pull out the Ruby when they need to turn a shot over with low force.
“Berg is my go to approach. Its special for sure but reliable once I figured it out. If out of range I use an Enthropy or Maiden depending on the flight I want. If I need to turn the shot”
Has been enjoying the Sled over the Stasis and Berg, as their throw evolves and doesn't need as much beef.
“Ive been digging the Sled over the statasis and berg but I think my throw is evolving not needing so much beef all the time”
When they take a small 13-disc bag after work they replace the Zone with the MD5, which can do everything the Zone can and more.
“When I take my after work bag with only 13 discs I actually replace my Zone with my MD5. The MD5 can pretty much do everything my Zone can and”
Enjoys the Pyro, especially one from last year's Gyropalooza box: as beefy as it gets while still having some push.
“I enjoy the Pyro, specifically from the gyropalooza box last year. It’s just as beefy as it gets while still having some push”
Bags the A2, with a hand feel similar to the MD5 but in 500 Spectrum plastic they prefer to S-Line; after 2+ years it is still really overstable.
“I bag the A2, pretty similar handfeel to the MD5 but I prefer the 500 spectrum plastic over S-line. Had my A2 for 2+ years and it's still really overstable”
Finds the Lots feels like a cheat code for woods golf: the distance of their 7-speeds with effortless glide and very shapeable, and sees plenty of players in North Carolina bagging it.
“Totally agree on not qualifying for iconic - that being said, they’re great. It feels like a cheat code, especially with woods golf. Distance of my 7 speeds, effortless glide and so, so shapeable. Lots of woods here in NC”
Had a Falk and did not get along with it at all.
“I had a falk and that disc and I did not get along, like at”
A new player reaching about 65–70 m finds the Gadd straight and good at avoiding trees, possibly their go-to soon because they control it better than the Stig.
“Gadd feels kinda stright, its good at avoiding trees, might be my goto soon... feels like i can control it better then stig * Claymore not thrown for a few”
Uses the Stig as their go-to disc on shorter holes that don't need a drive.
“Stig is my goto normal disc on "shorter" holes that dont need a drive *”
Calls the A5 a great forehand disc whose stability depends heavily on plastic: premium ones are considerably more overstable than 300, so they bag both.
“The A5 is a great forehand disc. Also, it's stability is heavily plastic dependent. Premium plastics will lend to be considerably more OS than in 300, which is something intake”
Bags a Pig for forehand approaches and hyzer layups, and has always loved the A4 as a throwing putter forehand and backhand.
“I bag a Pig for forehand approaches and hyser layups. And love A4s for a throwing putter, forehand and back. Have always loved the A4, and that slot is now”
The Hatchet is their absolute favourite flippy 9-speed and does everything a slightly understable fairway driver should; for control drivers they use an Underworld when they want very understable.
“The Hatchet is my absolute favorite flippy 9 speed, does all the things you want a slightly understable fairway driver to do. For control drivers,”
Says if you can forehand close to 250 ft, a Champion Daedalus is the best flex-forehand disc available.
“If you can throw forehand anywhere close to 250’ then the Innova Daedalus in Champion plastic needs to be in your bag, it is the best flex forehand disc available”
Finds the Ascend pretty fun: reliably flippy for them with a decent amount of glide.
“Streamline Ascend is pretty fun. I believe it's 6/5/-3/1. It's reliably flippy for me and has a decent amount of glide”
Calls the Warrant underrated and their favourite understable disc; loves their Origio-plastic one, though it beats in and a better plastic may last longer.
“Underrated, but i say Warrant from Dynamic Discs for 5 speed. I love my origio plastic Warrant: 5, 5, -2, 0. Does it beat in? Yeah, maybe get a better plastic. Is it my favorite Understable disc? Yes.”
Putts with Aviars but likes to throw P2s in beat-in P-Line, S-Line and Color Glow C-Line, finding the P2 a tick more torque resistant and overstable.
“I like to throw P2s though (Firefly mold), in beat in P-Line (KC Pro type plastic), beat in S-Line, and Color Glow C-Line (Sky God 3). I feel like the”
Has played both and finds a DX Aviar far more glidey than their KC Pro Galactic Firefly, which they stuck with for its smooth plastic that comes out of the hand nicely.
“I've played with both. DX aviar is way more glidy than My KC Pro Galactic Firefly and I've sticked with them. Somewhat smooth and slicky plastic that comes out of”
The Racer is the latest disc to earn a spot: it flies like a stable Shryke, bombs and has some stability.
“For me it's the Racer. Flies likes a stable Shryke. Bombs, has a bit of stability. 2. Crave has been”
A Q-Line DD3 feels like a perfect match for their arm and has unlocked throws they never thought possible; a Roadrunner remains their go-to when worried about a throw.
“The latest is a Q-line DD3. I dont know what it is about that disc, but it feels like a perfect match for my arm and I've unlocked some throws”
Got an EMac Truth when they first started and it was very beefy; now that they've improved it is their point-and-shoot mid, thrown more than anything.
“Longest: EMac Truth. Got it when I first started playing, and it was so beefy then. Now that I've improved, that's my point and shoot mid that I throw more”
Their newest disc is the Resistor, a very stable, torque-resistant disc they can shape forehand shots with; the Paradox is their oldest, for tricky escape shots.
“Newest: Resistor. Very stable torque resistant midrange that I can shape forehand shots with. Oldest: Paradox, super understable midrange utility”
Their oldest disc is a Dynamic Discs Convict; they can't find anything else as easily controllable.
“oldest is a dynamic discs Convict. I don’t think they even make that mold or the plastic type anymore but I really can’t find anything that is so easily controllable”
Picked up an older Prodigy D3 with the perfect amount of turn and late stability; it made the bag and gave them an ace on a wooded 390 ft hole.
“I picked up an older Prodigy D3 and it has the perfect amount of turn with late stability. I throw D3 as my main driver but this one is sweet.”
A Star Wombat3 has been in their bag over nine years: slightly flippy with endless glide and their go-to in the woods for anything under 260 ft that needs control.
“2: Star Wombat 3. That slightly flippy mid that has glide forever. In the woods it's the go to for anything 260 and in that needs control. Been there over”
The newest disc in their bag is the PA-5; not sure they'd replace it if lost, but it eases their mind for the shots they use it on because it is dependably flippy.
“Newest disc to earn a slot was the Pa5. Still not sure if I NEED to replace it if I lose it, but when I do pull it out it”
Their latest addition is a Premier DD1 Casey White Spin Doctor, which they call an absolute bomber.
“Latest: Premier DD1 Casey White Spin Doctor. Absolute bomber. Longest:”
Has played just over a year; their second disc, the Älva, is still in regular use, and even though they aren't really an 11-speed thrower it usually does what they want.
“My second disc (after Mako3) and though I've started to use one or two other discs, this one is still there and is used regularly. I'm not really an 11”
Their newest disc is the TSA Coalesce, which they call a controllable, overstable and slept-on 9-speed.
“1. TSA Coalesce. Controllable overstable 9 speed. Slept on disc.”
Added a Rhythm after too many Roadrunners that didn't turn over: it is actually understable, flies far and forehands well.
“Rhythm is the newest, after too many Roadrunners that don't actually turn over. Not sure if it's permanent, but they are actually under stable, fly far and forehand well. Longest”
Got an old beaten Wasp for free last week and has thrown it on almost half the holes since; it definitely earned its spot.
“Got some old beat in Wasp for free last week and I've thrown it on almost half the holes I've played since. Definitely earned it.”
Never threw Innova putters much, but found an AviarX3 and logged their first ace with it; their putting has improved overall.
“1. Aviar X3. Never threw Innova putters much before, but I found one and logged my first ace. Putting has improved overall. 2. Undertaker. Predictably”
Their latest disc is the Terminator: more stable than a Destroyer, a very consistent forehand flex and probably the farthest-flying disc in their bag.
“Latest- Terminator. It’s more stable than a destroyer and makes a really consistent FH flex. Probably my furthest flying disc in my bag rn. Longest-”
Their oldest disc is a Kaxe: not as overstable as it once was, but it flies straight and still fades reliably.
“Kastaplast Kaxe - Not as overstable as it once was, but flies straight and still fades reliably.”
Their newest disc is a Royal Clear Peak, a great straight-to-understable thrower; their oldest is an Opto Fuse, a lovely drifty turning mid.
“Newest - Royal Clear Peak. Great straight to understable thrower. Oldest - Opto Fuse. Wonderful drifty turn mid.”
A Star Boss has been in their bag for seven years as a solid disc for headwinds over 20 mph.
“Longest in the bag - star Boss - solid disc for headwinds over 20 mph. Been in my bag for”
Their oldest disc is a Maiden they have putted with for a couple of years.
“Oldest: Maiden. Been putting with it a couple years now. Newest: Grand Orbit Brave. Looking”
A Prime Bounty has been in the bag longest and gets broken out a few times a round unless the winds are chaotic.
“Longest: Prime Bounty. Unless we have absolutely chaotic winds, it’ll get broken out a few times a round”
Their oldest disc is a first-run Nuke SS that was too much disc when they bought it and is now a tailwind bomber.
“Oldest is a first run NUKE SS. It was too much of a disc when I bought it, but now”
Wanted an overstable mid to shape shots naturally, and the MD4 just works in that slot.
“The latest disc to earn a spot in my bag was the MD4. I wanted an OS Mid to shape some shots naturally, and the MD4 just works in the”
Their latest disc is a Halo TL3: dead straight with a gentle fade, and they expect it to beat in nicely.
“Halo TL3. Dead straight with a gentle fade, will probably beat in nice. Star destroyer”
Picked up a Lucid Fluid Heist on vacation because it looked nice, and it has become their go-to distance driver.
“Picked up a lucid fluid Heist while on vacation because it was pretty and it’s become my go to distance driver. Oldest disc in my”
Their newest disc is the Control and oldest the Trail; they love the Trail but it sometimes flies too straight, and the Control otherwise flies like a Trail.
“Newest is MVP Control. Oldest is Trail. I love the Trail but sometimes it just flies too straight, so the Control gets me that turn but otherwise flies like a”
A C-Line Notion goes dead straight for them and has helped them a lot this season.
“1.Notion in c-line goes dead straight for me have helped me a alot this season! 2. My trusty Toro in”
Their oldest disc is an MVP Relay, their perfect hyzer-flip forehand fairway driver that they can put on a 275 ft line almost every time.
“Oldest: MVP Relay. My perfect hyzer flip forehand fairway driver. Can put it on a 275’ line almost every time”
In nearly a decade of playing has used only a few molds, putting with a Pilot since 2020 after a P2, choosing it because it is widely available in many plastics and slightly shallower than the P2.
“Playing for near a decade I've used like 3-4 different molds and been putting with the streamline pilot since 2020. I previously putted with the P2 and between”
Played at elevation with a four-disc bag and found their discs not as flippy as usual, but took an Archangel and it flew perfectly.
“I didn't post an update yet, but I really enjoyed the difference. To be honest I didn't see much of an overall difference except my discs were not”
Putts with a Crown after a spell with JK Pro Aviars, preferring it because it is shallower with a blunter rim.
“Isaac uses a Crown (like me lol). I was using JK Pro Aviars for a bit but like the crown better because it's shallower and has a blunter”
Dabbled in JK Aviars but ultimately went back to Westside Shields for putting.
“I dabbled in JK’s for a bit, but ultimately went back to Westside Shields. I”
Bags an Opto Explorer as the more stable fairway next to their Craves.
“I bag the Opto Explorer as the more stable fairway next to my craves. But I'm also reading this thread,”
Throws a Trance for roughly 280 ft forehand shots: it flips up, flies straight and fades on a stock hyzer.
“Trance. No joke, i don’t know the distance range you throw and crave/bokeh. I throw a Trance for 280’ish shots on FH. It will flip up, fly straight”
Likes lighter discs for forehand and throws 300–340 ft forehand; a roughly 160 g Axiom Wrath is one of their two favourites, much more overstable than a Virus.
“I like a lighter weight disc for forehand. My two current favourites are a blizzard champion destroyer right around 150g (still stable) and an Axiom Wrath around 160g.”
A roughly 350 ft thrower who finds the Sword far more understable than its numbers suggest; it is their hyzer-flip, flat-to-turnover and roller distance driver.
“Westside Sword. I have no idea where they got the flight numbers for this one from, but its way more understable than they would lend you to think.”
Their Neutron Jet will likely never leave the bag: released on a touch of hyzer it flips up, turns and steadily comes back at the end, close to its 11/5/-3/2 numbers.
“Streamline Jet, a disc that will likely not leave my bag. 11 5 -3 2 which I would say is pretty true. I release it on a tad”
Calls the Musket a great straight hyzer-flip disc, and recommends a VIP Bear as another that goes far with a bit more resistance to turning over.
“Musket. Great straight hyzer flip disc. I’d also say check out the Bear in VIP. They go far but have a bit more resistance to”
Found a DX Shark in the woods years ago and kept it; since getting into disc golf seven months ago they have bagged it every round.
“DX Shark gang! I found this one in the woods behind my house years ago and held onto it just because. Got into DG about 7 months ago”
Calls the Grace a bomber: their new domey Royal Grace went very far on its first throw and, despite losing its dome after a stint lost on the course, still glides for ages.
“Yup, the Grace is a bomber. I actually have a similar, funny story about my Grace: Had just bought the Royal Grace, brand new, shiny, and domey. Threw”
Their TSA Color Glow Vessel flexes like soft Neutron and flew like a Zone with a little less glide, handling plenty of torque, but loses grip when wet, which matters for winter play.
“My Vessel is in TSA Color Glow. The flexibility is pretty good, like a soft Neutron. However, it's a premium plastic, and it loses grip in any kind”
Finds the Leopard3 gently understable without fading back much, so it flies quite straight on a little hyzer; at about 300 ft it turns a little then goes straight.
“The Leopard3 is gently understable and doesn’t fade back much. As a result it flies pretty straight when thrown on a bit of hyzer. At lower arm speeds”
Recently switched to the PA-4 for putting; its 300 Soft feels very like their well seasoned Zero Medium Pure, and they found an Ultra Soft M4 and Feedback wonderful.
“I recently switched to the PA4 to putt with and the 300 soft feels real similar to my well seasoned Zero Medium Pure I was”
Calls the Essence the best understable fairway: cheap, in many plastics, very consistent, goes a mile and feels great in the hand.
“Essence. Cheap, available in so many plastics, super consistent mold, goes a mile and feels great in the hand.”
Their favourite slightly understable fairway is an S-Line FD and their favourite flippy one is the Function, which reminds them of well-beaten old Roadrunners.
“Favorite slightly understable. S line FD. Favorite "Flippy" -- function. Reminds me of old road runners I had beat the”
Recommends the Lift as not as flippy as a Virus and inexpensive, and bags one in both Neutron and Cosmic Neutron.
“Agreed, but would encourage you to look to the Lift as well. Not as flippy as a Virus and only $13. I bag one in both Neutron and Cosmic Neutron.”
Bags a Z Cicada as their understable fairway; bought it expecting something neutral from the numbers, but it is definitely understable even at their arm speed. A Drift ended up as their neutral fairway.
“I currently bag a Z Cicada as my understable fairway. I bought it because the numbers had me thinking it'd be pretty neutral, but it's understable for sure even at”
Searching for a flippy 9-speed after losing their Viruses, they tried used Valkyries and then a Streamline Shift, which is a flip machine, great in a tailwind or for long turnovers with a forward-pushing fade.
“Got the propaganda and streamline shift, shift is a flip machine, great with a tailwind or long turnovers with a forward pushing fade, propaganda is the Goldilocks disc in this”
Recommends the Svea for reinforcing essentials: it shows any form errors and stays on whatever line you put it on, a little understable, so a dipped elbow or too much hyzer is obvious.
“If you want a disk that reinforces essentials i would recommend a Kastaplast Svea. This disc will show any errors in form. It basically stays on any line you put”
Bags a Buzzz, Mako3 and a Paradox they didn't expect to like, which has become their favourite scramble disc.
“Almost the same here, Buzzz, Mako 3, and a Paradox I thought I wouldnt like much but has become my favorite scramble disc in my”
Bought a Rollo to replace a very understable Stingray that broke on a tree and loves it so much they bought a DX Stingray to beat in as a roller; says the Rollo has opened up many unusual shot shapes.
“Honestly, I bought the Rollo to replace an old , super understable Stingray that I exploded on a tree. Turns out I love the Rollo so much that I went”
Has several mids for longer approaches, but inside 150 ft almost exclusively throws an old, beaten Champion Roc3: they know it and can place its reliable fade most of the time.
“anything inside 150' I almost exclusively lean on the old champ Roc3, I just know it and can place its reliable fade at the right place most of the time...”
The Polecat is their main approach disc because they control it best; adds a Streamline Stabilizer for more fade, finding it less overstable than a Zone.
“Polecat, Voodoo, and Streamline Stabilizer. Polecat is my main approach disc as I can control it the best. Voodoo comes out if I need it to put a little more”
Finds GStar TLs have more left-right movement, don't change much over time and tend to have a lot of glide.
“Gstar TL's will have more left/right movement, and doesn't seem to change much over time. They also tend to have a lot of glide. -”
With about 300 ft of power, finds Halo Star very overstable: their Halo Star Hawkeye flies like a Teebird, while the Champion Hawkeye is close to its flight numbers.
“I have a halo star and a champion Hawkeye. The halo star flies like a teebird and the champion is fairly close to the flight numbers. If youre looking for”
Using a CT Swirl Roost and calls it the best putter plastic they've ever touched.
“Haven't used focus, but using the Roost in CT Swirl and damn it's the best putter plastic I've had the chance of touching ever.”
Found the Spin flies identically to the Fierce but its bead slows it down on the ground, so it took over from the Fierce for them.
“The Spin flies identically to the Fierce, but the bead slows it down on the ground, so it took over.”
Despite stacks of putters at home, has putted with the Autopilot since it was released and it looks like a keeper.
“Despite the stacks of putters around the house, I've been using the Autopilot since its release, and it looks like it's a keeper. (Seems odd”
The Hope is exactly what they wanted: Aviar-like depth but putts a touch more stable, and with their low-to-high spin putt it is a laser; loves Sense plastic.
“The Hope is exactly what I wanted; a disc that felt like an aviar in its depth, but putts just a smidge more stable. I putt with a lot of”
Likes the Panther as an understable mid: a smaller-diameter midrange that makes it very easy to shape shots.
“Personally I like the Panther. It's a smaller diameter mid that is very easy to shape shots.”
With an ultimate background, finds the Parachute easier to throw than any disc in their bag: for shaped throws they don't want a golf disc to fight, a little spin and it stays on its line.
“For me, it's just easier to throw than any disc in my bag. I've got an ultimate background, so when it's a shaped throw I know I can make but”
Prefers the Spore for long putts just outside their putter range, though they won't use it in strong conditions.
“I prefer the Spore (Discmania version). I use it for long putts that are just out of my putter range. Note: I won’t use it”
Has a Total Eclipse Pitch that lives in their glow bag but never made the main bag; uses it as a catch disc and throws it a lot in glow rounds for fun shots.
“I have a Total Eclipse Pitch. It’s in my glow bag but never made my main. It gets 2 main uses. Thrown as a catch frisbee or tossed in glow”
Had a Vass that flew a very long way and was the first driver they could get to turn over; useless in the Texas wind, but a bomber.
“I don’t throw any kastaplast, but I had a Vass that would go a quarter mile. Was the first driver I could get over on. Garbage in the Texas wind,”
The Firebird is the most fun disc they have and does anything they want: big 90-degree turns, overhand throws to 225 ft and big flex shots.
“The Firebird is just the most fun disc I have. It does anything I want it to. Big 90 degree turn? Sure! Overhand throw dead center 225’? Yeah sure let’s”
Throws their Escape farther and with more control than their Trail, which was so overstable they used it in a Thunderbird slot.
“I second this. I can throw my Escape farther and more in control than the Trail. My trail is so OS that when I bagged it, I used it for”
In northern Ontario they switch to a PA-3 in 300 Ultra Soft for winter: the soft plastic firms up at -30 °C and still gives grip, where their regular putter feels too slick.
“Living in northern Ontario - I switch my putter to a PA-3 300 Ultra Soft. The super soft rubber tends to firm up in the -30c and still provide some”
A first-year left-hander on wooded courses uses the Origin for easy turnovers and hyzer flips, with a Roc3 as their workhorse mid.
“Midrange: Discmania Origin and Innova Roc3 (origin for easy turnovers and hyzerflips, roc3 is my workhorse and beat to nearly straight) Fairway Driver: Axiom Crave”
Went through a phase of putting with a C-Line MD1 because they were very consistent with it, but some of the misses were brutal.
“I had a time where I putted with a C-Line MD1, since I was super consistent. But some of the misses where brutal. I putt”
Their Clear Trust still looks nearly brand new after a few months in the bag and is used almost every round; finds Clear plastic a durability upgrade on Grand.
“My Clear Trust looks pretty much brand new, even with a few months in the bag. [It's not a workhorse, but I use it pretty much every round.] I imagine”
Uses the Savior as their approach disc and finds it excellent from farther out where they can crank on it, but closer to the basket it throws like a brick and is hard to get touch with.
“Do any of you use the Savior as your approach disc? I do and have found it to be excellent from further out where you can crank on it. However,”
Had the same turnover problem with the Luna and switched to a Streamline Stabilizer, which gives good throws every time; prefers its flatter profile to the domey, deep Luna.
“I started throwing a streamline stabilizer and I get good throws every time so I figure to hell with it. I just switched to this one now and love it.”
The Beast is their most reliable and accurate driver; they keep trying faster, newer drivers and always come back to it because they throw it far more accurately and consistently.
“Beast is my most reliable and accurate driver. I love trying faster/ newer drivers and always end up going back to it because I can throw it so much more”
Bags a beat-in GStar Boss for when they feel frisky, but on many local courses the consistency of their Orc outweighs the Boss's potential.
“That’s the way I am with my Orcs. I have a beat in GStar Boss for when I’m feeling frisky but on many courses around me the consistency of my”
Moved from a VIP Sword and Star Wraith to a Royal Grand Grace, then about a year ago to a Royal Grand Orbit Strive, which has been a revelation for their noodle arm: 360 ft on a good day and 320 ft consistently.
“Later I switched to a Royal Grand Grace (175 g) as I could get a bit more consistent distance with it and then the Strive in Royal Grand Orbit plastic(175”
Has played for a year and their current distance driver is a K1 Impa, getting 60–70 m with it.
“I only played for a year but currently its Kastaplast k1 IMPA. I get up to 60-70m with it. I got a crave disc yesterday”
Their main distance driver was a max-weight Lucid Captain; as they've got older and more injured it changed to a Lucid Air Captain in the 150s.
“Max Weight Lucid Captain. As I've gotten older and more injured that's changed to a Lucid Air Captain in the”
For max distance regardless of consequences they throw a Fission Trace; for very good distance where accuracy matters, a Fission Wave.
“If all I care about is getting max distance, damn the consequences, fission Trace. If I want very good distance but need to worry about”
Has thrown a Big Z Thrasher for several years, bagging two bought together; their max distance went from 275 to 340 ft and the Thrasher is still their go-to unless there's a serious headwind or long downhill.
“It's been a Big Z Thrasher for several years now. I have two in my bag that I bought at the same time. I threw one about 75% of the”
Their first self-bought distance driver was a Ballista, which flies far more understable than its numbers; still their farthest-flying disc ever, but the wide rim made it wind-sensitive and it needed about 60 ft of lateral movement for max distance.
“My first distance driver I bought for myself was a L64 Ballista (14,5,-1,3 but it flies way more understable than that). I was a noob and didnt know better. Its”
Uses Relativities in several plastics: the Neutron one is their main long driver without a headwind, for hyzer flips or long gliding hyzers, and the Proton one is beefier, good up to 15 mph headwinds.
“The Nu R is next, and my main long driver when head wind isn't an issue either hyzer flip or long gliding steeper hyzers. The Proton R is a little”
Only throws two MVP drivers because of their overstability: a Fission Photon that has been in the bag for three to four years, and a Teleport used strictly for forehand.
“I really only throw two MVP drivers because of my issue with their overstability. A Fizzy Photon thats been in my bag for 3-4 years and a teleport, but its”
A new Team MVP member who throws around 60 mph uses the Catalyst for flippy shots and the Engine for more overstable ones; sub-165 g Engines come out basically as Fission and absolutely bomb.
“I’ve landed on the Engine and Catalyst as my two main drivers. Catalyst for the flippy shots (I throw around 60mph) and Engines for the more overstable shots. If you”
Removed all MVP drivers and went back to Discraft and Innova: their very beat-in Zeus hyzer-flips up to flat and goes about 415 ft.
“Reference for arm speed the beat in Zeus in my bag hyzer flips up to flat and goes 415ish for me, and the two destroyers have a bit more turn”
Their favourite MVP/Axiom distance driver is the Vanish, which flies close to a Wraith for them but straighter overall.
“My favorite distance driver from MVP/Axiom is the Vanish. Flies pretty close to a Wraith in my experience but overall straighter.”
Gets over 500 ft on the course and finds only two MVP/Axiom distance drivers predictable; the Tenacity flips but never uncontrollably, so they use it for hyzer flips needing 450+ ft.
“The Tenacity will flip but never uncontrollably so I use it on Hyzer flips that I need 450' or more on and the Zenith is the only MVP disc thats”
Throws about 500 ft backhand and uses flat and domey Neutron Dimensions as their most overstable and stable straight-to-fade drivers, and has never had issues with MVP distance discs.
“Flat PLC neutron Dimension (most OS) * Domey black rim neutron Dimension (Stable, straight to”
After trying many shop suggestions they landed on the Zero Pro Mercy: technically not beaded but with a beveled edge that feels like one, it putts very like their Roaches and the Zero Pro plastic is the best base plastic they've felt.
“I landed on the zero pro L64 Mercy though. Technically not a beaded putter, but it has a very beveled edge that makes it feel like a beaded putter. Putts”
Putted with a well beaten glow Proxy all last year and liked it, but switched because the Roach glided even better.
“I putted with a really beat in glow proxy all of last year. I actually really liked it. Reason I switched from it was that the Roach glided even better”
Uses the Colt as their long-range putter: shallow, beaded and with good glide; likes XT plastic.
“Colt. Shallow beaded and with good glide. It’s my long range putter. I like the xt plastic but id say”
Settled on the Alter as a shallow, glidey putter, slightly shallower than a Pilot and as glidey.
“I like the same things as you. I settled on Thought Space Athletics Alter. It's slightly shallower than a pilot (which is another good recommendation) and as glidey. Second recommendation”
Finds the Buzzz SS flips much later than a Detour, which burned over too quickly for them, and says the Buzzz and Buzzz SS are quite different discs.
“Buzzz ss flips way later than a detour, I really hated how quickly the detour just wanted to burn over. The buzzz and buzzz ss are pretty different discs, they”
The CD1 is the most versatile disc in their bag and probably their go-to; the plastic changes the flight.
“Cd1 discmania made. Most versatile disc in my bag. Depending on the plastic you will get different flights. Probably my most go to disc”
Throws a mix of brands including a lot of Prodigy and calls the F5 a great straight fairway: not very long for them, but accurate and workable, and a staple this year.
“F5 is a great straight fairway. Not super long for me, but accurate and workable.”
Says the Bolt flies forever and gives them bullet-straight shots at any distance; with an arm speed around 54 mph and the right wind, 400 ft is possible for them.
“you might look at a lattitude 64 Bolt. It flys forever and you can get bullet straight shots any distance you want. 13 speed, but my noodle arm speed is only 54+/- and with the right wind 400 ft is”
Prefers the Construct to the Gorgon and says it flies more like a -2/2 than its 10/6/-1/2 numbers.
“Only thing similar that I much prefer, is a thought space athletics Construct. 10/6/-1/2. But flies more like a -2/2”
Calls the Inertia an underrated driver: less stable than a Trail and a real bomber with an initial left-to-right drift.
“I think MVP Inertia is an underrated driver. Less stable than a trail, really bomb with an initial left to right drift.”
Has given a Drift to every friend who starts playing: it flies straighter than an Eagle for new players and becomes a great workable disc with more power.
“Streamline Drift is my rec; I've given one to all my friends that start playing. It will fly straiter than an eagle for newbies, and turns into a great workable”
Tried a Westside Bear recently and really liked it, recommending it as an overstable fairway driver.
“I tried a Westside Bear the other day and I really liked it. If you need an overstable fairway driver, that's a good one.”
Finds the Saint Pro very understable and glidey and a different disc from the regular Saint, but would use neither in the wind.
“Saint Pro is VERY understable, and glidey. It's a different disc than the regular Saint for sure, but I would never use either in the wind.”
Throws a 170 g Lucid Vandal as their 9-speed and loves it: lots of glide and dead straight, and once beaten in it becomes a good turnover and roller disc.
“I throw a 170 Lucid Vandal that I absolutely love for my 9 speed. Tons of glide. Dead straight. And when it beats in, it becomes a really good turnover/roller”
The only MVP disc they have found that flies like their old Zones is a Proton Entropy from a used bin; other Entropy plastics don't have the overstability or hand feel they like.
“Only mvp disc I have found to fly like my old zones is a Proton Entropy. I got lucky and found a used bin one. Any other plastic entropy or other discs just don’t have”
The TeeBird3 in Champion plastic gives them a perfect, reliable flight with a tiny turn and reliable fade, getting out to about 330–350 ft.
“Teebird3. If I don't need max distance it has a perfect, reliable flight (champ plastic) with tiny turn, reliable fade, and gets out to about 330-350 for me. I don't”
Says the special-edition Aspect was very overstable at first but has beaten in quickly, already showing much less dump at the end. Contrasts it with their Control, which they have thrown far more without it changing much.
“The one I really noticed was the Aspect. The SE vat one they just dropped was stupidly OS for me at first, but it has beaten in fairly fast where”
A right-hander who throws thumbers to get around trees on a left-to-right line says the Gladiator is the only disc they have that does it well; everything else they tried doesn't flop over.
“I am right-handed and throw a thumber when I want to get around trees etc on a left to right line. The only disc I have or have thrown that”
After trying a lot of Prodigy since returning to the sport, the only mold that stayed in their bag is a 400 H7. Says it has the same numbers as a Roadrunner but is far more controllable for them, and they only like it in 400 plastic.
“the only mold that has stuck in my bag is a 400 H7. Same numbers as a Roadrunner, but for me it's just way more controllable. I don't care for”
A disc golf shop owner who recommends the Grand Sweep (not the Clear Sweep), saying they keep it very straight up to about 400 ft and that the Grand plastic is straighter than its 9/6/-0.5/2 rating.
“I highly recommend the Lat64 Grand Sweep for this (not the Clear Sweep). I can keep them very as straight up to about 400. They are very impressive and underrated.”
Their current control driver is a Swirly S-Line Vanguard: it started out beefy and needed patience to beat in, and now holds its angle to the end on anhyzer, flips to flat on hyzer and gives a small S-turn without an aggressive fade.
“I got a swirly s line discmania vanguard which is my current control driver. It started out beef but you gotta be patient and beat it in. Holds it's angle”
An ESP Undertaker has been good for them: it took a few months of breaking in to get closer to neutral and now holds a nice turnover or hyzer-flip line.
“Esp undertaker has been good for me, took some breaking in to get closer to neutral stability but not more than a few months. Holds a nice turnover or for hyzer flip up lines. DGA”
Their Halo Sidewinder feels like an extension of their mind: they can see the throw and it goes where they need almost every time.
“Halo Sidewinder. Don’t know why, but that disc is an extension of my mind. I can see the throw off hand, and it goes where I need it”
Views their Mamba and Crave as basically the same disc and shot shape, but gets more distance from the Mamba.
“I view my Mamba and Crave as basically the same disc and shot shape, I just get more distance from the mamba.”
The Fission Wave makes their bag half the time as a very controllable turnover disc that just starts to fade back at the end; they target about 370 ft fairly accurately.
“On the other hand, the Fission Wave makes my bag half the time as a super controllable turnover disc that jusssst starts to fade back at the end,”
Has thrown a Valkyrie for over 20 years and lately a 156 g Impulse, which is like a baby Valkyrie for them: not the same flight, but they can backhand it more cleanly with very little effort.
“I’ve also been using a 156g Impulse lately, and have to say that it’s like a baby Valk for me. Not the exact same flight pattern, but I can backhand”
Loves their DD: their Wave and Halo Mamba were a touch too understable and the DD1 not understable enough, so the DD is the sweet spot.
“Wildly underrated disc, I love my DD. My Wave and Halo Mamba were both just a touch too under stable, the DD1 isn't US enough, the DD is”
Their Roadrunner was too heavy for them until recently, but now that their speed and spin have improved it gets its intended flight and they are learning to really like it.
“Roadrunner (was too heavy for me until recently but now getting the intended flight and learning to really like it) Teebird (new in my bag but holding down”
Has been trying the Heat in their distance-straight-right slot and, after their latest round, benched their Soda for it.
“I've been experimenting with the Discraft Heat to fill that position and in the round I just had I've decided to bench the Soda for the Heat.”
Their first MVP disc six years ago, the Reactor always went where they wanted with a little flip and a little fade; they retired their first one this year and once bagged three.
“MVP Reactor. First MVP disc I bought 6 years ago and it always seemed to just go where I wanted. A little flip, a little fade. I finally had to”
Bags an Arachnid that flies almost identically to their Nuance: perfect for long anhyzer lines and upshots onto hills or around trees.
“My Innova Arachnid flies almost identical. I bag both.”
The Neutron Crave is their favourite: very consistent, with the 2024–25 Dragonfruit run the best they've had.
“Neutron Crave is my favorite. It's so consistent. The best run they've ever had was the Dragonfruit run from 2024-25 (I forget when it was”
Their stock 175 g Neutron Trail was quite overstable out of the box and beat into a beautiful tight S-shaped flight that finishes mostly straight; their wife's 157 g Fission Trail became too flippy for her.
“My wife can’t throw her 157g fission trail anymore because it’s too flippy for her now. In contrast, my stock 175g neutron trail (black rim) was quite overstable out of”
Still new and learning to shape shots, but when they have a straight clear line they reach for their Mako3 and laser it.
“when I have a straight clear line to the target, I reach for my Mako3 and just laser it.”
Their lightweight 156 g Neutron Insanity actually flips for them, and they find Eclipse plastic more overstable than the rest of the lineup.
“Light weight neutron, mines 156g and actually flips for me. Eclipse is similar to halo”
Struggled with a starter set until a friend handed them a lighter Blizzard Champion Wraith; they naturally put it on an S-curve and it helped them work out their release.
“Buddy handed me a Blizzard Champion Wraith since it was lighter/more beginner arm friendly. I naturally put it on a S-Curve and we were able to figure out I naturally”
Had two near aces in their first round with the Bokeh; the only disc they think actually made them a better player.
“The Bokeh. My first round with one I had 2 near aces. Was the only time I’ve thrown a disc I think actually made me”
