Their favourite driver for their first few years was the Tern, basically a 12-speed Valkyrie, and they still use it.

“My favorite driver for the first few years of the sport was the Tern. Basically a Valkyrie that is a 12 speed. I love it”

A forehand player whose Halo Star Mamba took a while to act understable for them, until they got more power and spin and it now turns easily.

“It took me a while to get my halo star Mamba to act understable as well. I’m also a forehand player, and I thought it was broken (literally have a”

After losing their Jet in a water hole they bought a used Fission Wave and love it: a nice flip on a flat release and straight forever on a hyzer at their arm speed.

“I went to PIAS for a sacrificial disc just in case the wind caught it again and found this wave. I love that thing. Gets a nice flip on flat”

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.”

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”

A 167 g Fission Insanity took some time to dial in, but now gives them a consistent 340 ft hyzer-flip line and they can't play a round without it.

“Ive got a 167g Fission Insanity that takes some time to dial in, but my goodness now that ive figured it out, its a consistent 340ish on a hyzerflip line.”

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,”

After nearly 25 years of playing, calls the GStar Destroyer a sleeper: with their arm speed and technique it behaves like a Trail but faster and farther, and has earned its spot in the bag.

“Been playing nearly 25 years. The GStar destroyer is a sleeper!! With my arm speed and technique, it behaves like a Trail, but faster, and further. It’s earned its spot”

Finds Clear plastic too gummy and says dome varies: a domey Clear Grace is the beefiest Grace they have thrown. Their favourites are the earlier Orbit Graces, and they don't enjoy flatter stock ones.

“Clear is too gummy for me. Dome and PLH can differ. I grabbed a flatter clear and decently domey clear and the domey is the beefiest Grace I’ve thrown. The”

An older player threw a 164 g Fission Trail about 400 ft on a hole with a slight downhill finish. Lighter 140–150 g Trails just turn over for them, so they are dialling in 165–170 g Fission Waves and Trails as straight distance drivers.

“Older gentleman and working through different discs in search of distance. Threw a JC Fission Trail 126ft past hole 16 at Pier Park today (that's 400 ft total, a bit”

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”

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”

About four years in: their absolute max distance is a Mamba or a light Daedalus pushing 350 ft, and for close to max distance with more reliable control they throw a Tern or Shryke pushing 315 ft.

“About 4 years in. I've settled on:. Absolute max distance is a Mamba and a lightweight Deadalus pushing 350. Close to max distance with more reliable control is a Tern”

Lost their favourite KC Star Wraith, tried others that didn't fly the same, then got a Philo Duo Wraith; it didn't seem right at first, but now that it's broken in they get the same distance as the one they lost.

“Wraith. I lost my favorite KC Star Wraith at the start of the summer. Heartbroken. Tried some others, but they just weren’t flying the same. Got a Philo Duo Wraith.”

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”

For the past two of almost five years, the Gorgon has been their go-to distance disc, reaching about 325 ft on flat ground; very glidey and holds a line for a long time before its fade.

“I've been playing for almost 5 years in the last 2 I would say the Gorgon is my go to disc for distance. I'm not a bomber by any means”

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”

Progressed from Destroyer to Wraith to S-Line DD3 and still uses all three: Destroyer for needle-straight backhands, Wraith for forehand, and the DD3 for full-flight bombs.

“Destroyer to Wraith to S-Line DD3. I still use them all I guess but distance reached in that order. Destroyer for needle straight backhands, Wraith forehand, and DD3 for full”

On wide-open holes throws their flippy DD1 with some hyzer and lets it flip over and come back.

“If it’s wide open I throw my flippy DD1 with some hyzer and let it flip over and come back.”

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”

A forehand thrower with 380 ft accurate distance who went Destroyer, Time Lapse, Octane, Q-Line DD3; bags the Octane for big S-turns and the DD3 for flip up to straight.

“RHFH 380 accurate distance Destroyer>Time Lapse>Octane>Q Line DD3 I bag the octane and dd3 at the moment. Octane for big s turns and DD3 for”

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”

Throws a Wraith when they need a reliable 350–375 ft, and a Tern or Orbital for farther, having got out to 400 ft with both.

“Today, if I need a reliable 350-375, I throw a Wraith. Further than that, either a Tern or an Orbital. I’ve gotten out to 400 with both. I’ve been tossing”

Uses a Westside Destiny, which they find less stable and less fast than its numbers, so they can throw it far without a 13–14 speed arm; on wide-open holes it's the Destiny all day. Their max is about 380 ft.

“Im currently using a westside destiny - its less stable than the numbers and not really as fast as the numbers - or at least, I can throw it far”

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”

Recently switched to MVP, Axiom and Streamline from Discraft; the Control is their most-thrown disc and they love it, getting 360–370 ft on a flat-to-hyzer release.

“for reference my most thrown on the bag now is the control (love this thing) and i can shoot a flat into hyzer 360’ -370’ trail - 350 with very”

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”

Throws 430+ ft and says Mayhems can crush: Plasma ones with slight dome are the most overstable but still not beefy.

“Mayhem man, I throw 430+ and they can crush! Plasma with a slight dome are the most OS but still not beefy. Then you can take an engine and beat”

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”

Throws a 145 g Fission Fireball that is as dependable as expected but goes 350 ft before fading.

“Have you thrown a Fission 145g Fireball? Just as dependable as you would imagen only it goes 350 before fading.”

Has thrown the PD for the last couple of years after trying almost every other control driver.

“PD for the last couple of years. I have thrown basically every other control driver, almost out of spite. Also”

Has thrown the Control only a few times, enough to see it fills the same slot as their Anax. The Anax started out far too beefy for them but turned into one of their favourite discs as it beat in.

“Possibly unhelpful, but I have only thrown the Control a few times. Just enough to confirm it falls into my Anax slot. The Anax started off entirely too beefy for me, and as it beat in turned into one of”

Notes that K1 Grind plastic is more understable: their K1 Älva bombs while their Grind Älva rolls.

“Keep in the mind, the K1 Grind plastic is more understable for those 2 molds. My K1 Alva bombs, my Grind Alva rolls.”

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 tried a lot of drivers but always keeps at least one Sword in the bag, in several plastics and stabilities, because it is so nice and mostly straight.

“Sword, I have tried a lot of drivers, sword is just so nice, and mostly straight, I have a few different plastics/stabilities, always have at least 1 in the”

Found the Jet too flippy and traded it to a friend who loves it; it is probably the friend's farthest-flying disc.

“I also found the Jet to be a bit too flippy. Traded it to a friend who loves it and it’s probably his farthest flying disc. Tho he maxes out around 250’.”

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”

Took an unused 152 g Fission Tesla to a water-heavy course expecting to lose it; it flew dead straight with dependable fade. Calls it easy to throw and easy to hit their line with.

“Thought I'd sacrifice my unused Fission Tesla 152g. It refused to die, dead straight forever with dependable fade. It's a weird Chimera of Fission, light weight and stable/overstable disc but”
