“I can’t recommend a Innova Jay more. I was in the same spot, had my OS (Caima) and US (Fox) locked in but struggled to find a good straight to”
Their stock Balance is overstable but not like a Pyro: beat in a bit it flies straight for 65–70% of its flight with a strong fade, their go-to for distance control.
“As far as I know it’s just a stock Balance. A lot of people are saying they are “beef”. Even though it’s definitely an overstable disc, it not like a”
Has enjoyed the Archive lately: with some height it holds anhyzer before leveling out, stands up to slight headwinds and is true to its numbers at 280–310 ft.
“I've really enjoyed the Prodigy Archive in this slot as of late. Give it some height and it will hold some anny before leveling out. Stands up to slight headwinds.”
Uses the Drop more and more as a mid and utility disc; it doesn't fly quite as overstable as 4/3/0/3 but fights out of a turn and holds up in wind.
“I've been using the Discmania Drop more and more for my mid/utility disc. 4,3,0,3 - but it doesn't fly quite that overstable for me. Enough so to fight out of”
Bags a Champion Gator and three KC Rocs from newish to five years of wear to cover slightly overstable to understable.
“KC Roc for me. I bag a Champ Gator and 3 KC Rocs that go from newish to 5 years of wear to cover from slightly over to understable.”
Grabs their Mako3 when they need a laser with minimal fade and loves it on forehand.
“If I need something to be a laser with minimal fade, I’ll grab my Mako3. Love it on my forehand, some may consider it understable.”
Their stable workhorse mid is the Glacier, with the MD5 for overstable and the MD1 for straight.
“Stable workhorse is the Glacier. (Overstable is the MD5, which gets more use.) My next step down is an MD1,”
Used to throw the Anchor, which feels very like a Roc3 but flies a lot more stable, closer to a Pyro.
“Anchor feels very similiar to a Roc3 but flies alot more stable, kind of similiar to a pyro in my experience.”
Finds Prodigy run-to-run consistency hit and miss: a new M2 flies like an M4 and an older M4 flies like an M2 should.
“I’d say that while they’re starting to make some really high quality discs again the consistency run to run is still hit and miss. I just got a M2 that”
Recommends the Halo Star Lion: it won't easily turn and burn, has surprising glide and distance, and a gentle but reliable fade every time.
“In your case I suggest the Halo Star Lion. Its not going to easily turn & burn on you, has surprising glide and distance with gentle but reliable fade every”
Their go-to mid is the Streamline Runway: it never flips over and rides a long way straight before fading.
“I don't think people really use it but my absolute go to is the Streamline Runway. Never flips over and rides a long way straight before the fade. Absolute beast”
Throws an R-Pro Pig on every shot under 300 ft: reliable, cheap and available, though it takes a bit more juice to push past 250 ft.
“R-pro Pig. If the shot is under 300, I'm throwing a pig every time. They are reliable, cheap, and available. Takes a little more juice to push them 250+ than”
Really likes the Göte: lots of glide, fairly neutral and not as fast as many mids.
“I really like the Kasta Gote. It has a lot of glide, is pretty neutral and not as fast as”
Loved their Kastaplast-made Kaxe, but a House of Discs Kaxe they bought is poor.
“Had a Kasta Kaxe and loved it; bought a HoD Kaxe and it is poor.”
Loves their used Opto Explorer, a forehand workhorse almost from day one that helped things click for them as a new player: forehand hyzer flips for days.
“Love the Opto Explorer! The awesome guy that runs my local shop recommended one that he saw on the used shelf; it's become my forehand workhorse since almost day one.”
Finds the Explorer a bit more overstable but the same in practice, while their Teebird3 is massively overstable.
“Explorer might be a bit more overstable but it’s the same in practice. Teebird3 I found is massively overstable.”
Of a Champion Teebird3, Q-Line FD and Simon Line SE Bokeh, the Bokeh flies straightest and furthest without a strong fade but still reliably fades.
“Try an Axiom Simonline SE Bokeh. I have the champion Teebird 3, FD Qline, SE Bokeh, and the Bokeh flies the straightest the furthest without a strong fade, but still”
Finds the Fission Insanity becomes very flippy, as Fission seems to have no limit to how far it beats in, while Proton, Neutron and Eclipse reach a point and stay.
“And the Fission Insanity becomes very flippy. Fission is the only one of MVP's premium plastics that seems to not really have a limit for how much you can beat”
Throws fairway drivers 300 ft and gets no turn from their Hex, so it sits in their stable midrange slot rather than neutral.
“Yeah, I can throw fairway drivers 300 feet, and get no turn out of my Hex... Which is fine, it's just in my "stable midrange"”
Their Opto Ice Fuse is by far the most consistently straight disc they have thrown, great for low-ceiling approaches and dependably hitting lines.
“I really love my Latitude 64° Opto Ice Fuse. It is by far the most consistently straight disc I have ever thrown. It’s great for low ceiling approaches and dependably”
Took their long-bagged Mako3 out because their Dart more consistently flies 200 ft straight in the woods, and R-Pro is wonderful at stopping where it lands.
“I have had a Mako3 in my bag for a long time, but I took it out recently because my dart was just more consistently flying 200' straight for me”
Finds the Tournament Gatekeeper flies a bit more like a Hex than a new Buzzz: a little straighter but with some fight at the end.
“Tournament Gatekeeper from westside discs. It is bit more similar to the Hex in flight then a brand new Buzzz. So a little bit more straight but has some fight”
The Wombat3 is the straightest disc they've thrown on a slight hyzer flip: a little turn but zero fade, which they haven't found in any other disc.
“Wombat3 is the straightest disc I've thrown, but it requires a slight hyzer flip. Has a little turn but actually zero fade, something I've not found in any”
Their favourites are the Claymore, like a beat-in Buzzz with more glide, and the EMac Truth, which flies like an overstable run of Buzzz.
“My favorites are Claymore and Emac Truth. The Claymore is like a beat in Buzzz with more glide while the Emac Truth flies like an overstable run of Buzzz.”
Finds the Toro torque resistant enough to handle full power, but it doesn't like to glide, so it finds the ground quickly.
“Innova Toro. Torque resistant so it handles full power well, but doesnt like to glide so it finds the ground”
Just got an Uplink in Proton Glow Particle and it is their favourite mid they have ever thrown.
“I just got an Uplink in Proton Glow Particle and it's my favorite mid I've”
Uses the Mutant, more overstable than a Zone OS or Toro, more than any other midrange because it reliably stops where it lands and is great for putting into a stiff headwind.
“Mutant. Yes, I know it’s an extremely overstable midrange, even more OS than a Zone OS or a Toro, but it it’s perfect for when you want the disc to”
Found the Scorch too flippy and inconsistent within the same plastic, despite liking its rim.
“Scorch was too flippy for me plus not consistent in the same plastic. I wanna like it because of the”
Throws Halo Terns, older ones being more stable; for something flippier they throw a newer, max-weight one.
“Halo Tern. Older the better for me. They’re more stable. If I need something a bit more flippy, I throw a newer, max weight and”
Uses the Shryke and Zeus for all their max-distance lines: the Shryke ranges very flippy to a little stable, the Zeus slightly flippy to pretty stable, and both have comfortable rims.
“Shryke and Zeus Shryke is anywhere from very flippy to a little stable, Zeus is from slightly flippy to pretty stable. I have different discs for utility shots, but those”
Finds the Essence good for long backhand flex shots: their 168 g Neo Essence bombs, is slightly understable with a reliable fade, and doesn't need a big arm.
“Discmania Essence is good for long backhand flex shots. Pulled one out of a canal onetime after a hurricane. Bagged one ever since. I currently have a 168g neo plastic”
For 375–390 ft shots that mustn't cruise past 400, uses stable Champion or Halo Beasts; they used to bag the Wraith there but the Beast goes about as far on a tighter golf line.
“Shots in the 375-390 range, but that I need to not cruise past 400, I’ll whip out one of my stable Beasts. Champ or Halo Beast. I used to bag”
Maxes just over 400 ft and the Strive is their furthest disc, though no hand feel beats the Wraith for them.
“Star Wraith and the Lat 64 Strive. I max out just over 400 feet and the Strive is also the furthest disc for me but no hand feel is better”
The Bolt is their go-to: a 158 g one is hyzer-flip magic with no wind, a 172 g one for a slight headwind; about 400 ft with the light one and the same distance forehand.
“L64 Bolt is my goto, I have it in 172g and 158g. the 158 is hyserflip magic with no wind. The 172 for a tiny headwind, flys similar. I can”
A beat-in Halo Star Valkyrie holds a slow turn for them and feels safer than a Wild Honey, so they reach for it more often lately.
“Understable: Steady Ring Wild Honey, beat in Halo-star Valkyrie. Wild Honey can get away from me where the Valk will hold the slow turn and I find myself going to”
Uses 150 g Fission Photons and Waves: light enough to spin up quickly, with the extra gyro keeping them from getting too flippy; the Photon especially holds its stability.
“150g(ish) Fission Photon or Fission Wave. Light enough to spin up quickly and the extra gyroscopic energy helps it to not get too flippy. The Photon especially holds its stability.”
Throws a Thrasher for flippy, a Drive for straight, which they find slept on as a Wraith or Grace alternative and better forehand than expected, and a Zeus for overstable.
“I throw thrasher for flippy, drive for straight (super slept on as a wraith/grace alternative imo), and zeus for overstable. Drive forehands better than you’d think it would which is”
Finds the Thrasher's angle a little finicky, but with about 400 ft of power on a bit of hyzer it cruises beautifully.
“On the Thrasher the angle is a little finicky but when you hit it with ~400' power on a bit of hyzer it will just cruise beautifully.”
Throws a 160 g Halo Mamba 520 ft on a hyzer flip.
“UnderStable: 160g Halo Mamba - 520ft hyzerflip OverStable: 165G Halo”
Loves the new K1 Grind Guld: more stable than K1 runs without being beefy, a consistent flight of 370 ft on hyzer and 400 flat, and three have flown almost identically at altitude.
“I've been loving the new K1 Grind Guld. They are more stable than the K1 runs while not being crazy beef. For most situations they have been giving me a”
The Lucid Sheriff is their go-to: easy to control, won't turn over more than they want, and they have 10 aces with 10 different Sheriffs.
“Lucid Sheriff is my go-to. I prefer it broken in and understable/newer disc for 10mph headwind. Pretty easy for me to control, wont turn over more than I want. 10”
Finds the Anax and Firebird great because there is zero chance of them flipping over.
“Anax and Firebird are great because there is zero chance of them flipping over, which I do with the trail”
Loves their Defender and relies on it heavily, including for long forehands, even when they don't need the stability.
“I love my Defender. Love love love. I often don't need the stability, but it's still my overall favorite, and I rely on it heavily for long forehands”
Had a Havoc that was absolute money as an understable driver before they lost it.
“For understable, I had a Havoc that was absolute money, but I lost it. :(”
Bags the Heat and Passion: the Heat is more understable but controllable, while the Passion is slightly more stable and holds a gliding turn really well.
“Discraft Heat and Passion. Heat has more under-stability but controllable. Passion is slightly more stable, won't turn as much, but can hold a gliding turn real well.”
Put Mavericks and an Escape back in the bag and finds the Maverick very useful in the woods.
“Mavericks and an Escape recently made it back in the bag. I hadn’t thrown a Maverick since I first started 4 years ago and I’m finding them so useful in”
A big MVP fan who is very disappointed in the Crave, though they suspect their form.
“As a big fan of MVP discs im super disappointed in the Crave, probably more about my throwing form/ability than the disc but still. What”
Their Champion Hawkeye is much flippier than their Leopard3 despite seeing fewer trees, maybe due to the run.
“I have a champion Hawkeye and it's seen way less trees bc I don't throw it often but it is way more flippy than the”
Got a DX TL3 for about $5 and it is perfect when they need a disc to hold whatever angle they give it and fly straight.
“Not a G-star, but I got a DX TL3 for like $5 and it is my perfect, I need this disc to hold whatever angle I put the disc on”
The Hatchet was the first disc they bought new and is still the best overall disc they've had, their pick for a one-disc round.
“Hatchet was the first disc I bought new and I still think it's the best overall disc I've ever had. Would be my pick if”
Finds the Proton Drift seriously slept on: straighter than its numbers with great hand feel.
“Drift - specifically Proton plastic - is seriously slept on. Straighter than the numbers and”
Has really been enjoying their C-Line Instinct: they can work many lines with it, very workhorse-like with great distance.
“I’ve been really enjoying the Discmania Instinct, I have the C Line and I can work a lot of different lines with it, very workhorse-like”
Their Cicada is nice and flippy, great for tight turnover lines in the woods that might not suit a forehand.
“Cicada - Nice and flippy, great since I play in the woods a lot and need to hit tight turnover lines that might not suit”
Their Champion Thunderbird is stable enough to throw forehand and backhand has a good finish with more distance than their FD.
“Thunderbird- in the Champion plastic, the Thunderbird is stable enough for me to throw on forehand. On the backhand side, it has a good finish with more distance than the”
The River was their favourite from the Latitude starter pack: a really straight flyer for beginners that starts to turn as arm speed develops but stays controllable.
“River! My favorite disk our of the lattitude starter pack. Got one in opto plastic shortly after. Real straight flyer for beginners. It will start to bend a nice little”
Picked up a nearly new Royal Brave used, and its distance and control made them drop the top speed of their bag significantly because it flies so clean and far.
“During the Memorial Day sales I picked up a bunch of used stuff at a PIAS.. included basically a brand new unmarked Royal Brave. The distance and control I’m getting”
Finds the Coalesce sneaky good: with a 55–58 mph backhand it pushes straight a good while before hooking up.
“TSA Coalesce is a sneaky good disc. With a ~55-58mph backhand it'll push straight for a good while before hooking”
Loving the Servo: a Crave profile with more stability and torque resistance; they've thrown it further than distance drivers at times and it is a great straight flyer.
“Lately I’m loving the MVP Servo. Pretty much same profile as the crave, but with a bit more stability and feels a lot more torque resistant. I’ve had times where”
Calls a beat-in Stag an amazing understable disc with a great flight and reliable fade.
“also want to throw in a beat-in Stag as an amazing understable disc. such a great flight with a reliable”
Prefers Champion over Halo and loves the Sidewinder.
“I like champion sidewinder personally. Ive always liked champion better than halo, but I love the sidewinder. Avenger ss as”
Finds the Maul nice out of the box but it beats in to something too flippy for them at that speed, so they moved up to the Fury, which seems more reliable.
“mauls pretty nice, it beats in to something a bit too flippy for me at that speed but it feels pretty good out of the box. moved up to the”
Has a lab-second Neutron Virus that flies pretty straight and far for a non-power thrower, further than their Eclipse Wave because it doesn't fade as gently.
“I have a lab second Neutron Virus that flies pretty straight (and far) for me. I am not a power thrower. Is that expected? I get more distance than my”
Finds the Archangel super reliable; it gets flippier as it quickly beats in.
“Archangel. Super reliable, gets flippier as it (quickly) beats in. Can get a stack for cheap cause f2’s are like”
Bags the H7 as their 9-speed and calls it an unreal disc that doesn't get enough love.
“7 speed: Underworld 9 speed: H7 The H7 is an unreal disc that doesn’t get”
Has thrown Leopards and Leopard3s for 15 years and loves both for controlled lines.
“Leopard or Leopard3 - love both of these discs for controlled lines, but I’ve thrown them for literally 15 years.”
Bags the MVP Impulse as a staple for woods golf, alongside a Brave for hyzer flips with mild turn.
“Lat64 Brave for hyzerflips with a mild turn, TSA Nuance for hyzerflips to turnover and MVP impulse for woods golf. All staples in my bag.”
Their F3 is fun for an S-curve, though as a 7-speed it turns over if they throw it too hard.
“My F3 is so much fun for an S-curve. I'm hoping the MVP Impulse gives me that in a faster speed; the 7-speed F3 just”
Likes the Underworld but finds it quite flippy: at 350+ ft it needs touch, and they've turned it over by accident too many times to count.
“i like the underworld as well like many are mentioning but it’s quite flippy so if you’re someone who can reliably throw 350+ you need some touch. i’ve turned it”
Has a very weak arm and really likes their Diamond: light enough to flip some, and flipping more as their form and distance improve.
“I have a very weak arm and really like my Diamond. It’s light enough I can get it to flip some, and as I’ve improved my form and gained distance”
Finds the Leopard3 fantastic, though not terribly understable: it is just a laser beam.
“Leo3 is fantastic as well, but I never think of that as terribly "understable." It's just a laserbeam.”
Bags two Functions as their go-to hyzer-flip woods disc: they fly less understable than 8/6/-4/1, flipping to flat with a gentle fade, or turning about like a -2 thrown flat.
“Discmania Function. Bag two just in case one gets lost. It’s my go to hyzer flip woods disc. The two I have don’t quite live up to the 8 6”
Throws a lot of 9-speeds and the Roadrunner is a favourite, choosing plastic for stability: beat-in Star for understable, GStar for very understable, Champion or Halo Star for straighter.
“I throw a lot of 9 speeds (they just work for my arm) and one of my favorites is the Roadrunner. If I want it to be understable I get”
Likes bagging the Shift most right now: effortless hyzer flips, and they can dial in spin for straight hyzer flips or hyzer flip to turnover shots.
“Right now the shift is the one I like bagging the most. Pretty effortless hyzerflips and I can dial in how much spin I put on it for straight hyzerflips”
Finds the IT/Lynx a great versatile disc; a recent DX one rocked and Halo and Star are similarly awesome.
“I think the Innova IT / Lynx is a great versatile disc. I recently bought a DX and it rocked. The Halo and Star are”
Their R-Pro Rhyno has hit a million trees and been warped and unbent, and it flies dead straight with no fade.
“R Pro Rhyno. Hit a million trees, been warped and unbent, and it flies dead straight with no fade. Just”
Their beaten 350G A2 is perfect for almost every backhand hyzer approach, especially spike hyzers, though nowhere near as stable as new.
“350G A2 that is perfect for just about every backhand hyzer approach, but especially for spike hyzers. It's beat to hell and nowhere near as stable as it was new,”
Their BT Soft Harp has banged countless trees and cart paths but still flies the way they want; they've never found a disc worthy of its slot.
“BT soft Westside Harp. It's banged more trees than a beaver. Been chewed up and spit out by tons of sidewalks, cart paths, and roads. Looks floppier than a wet”
Prefers the Volt: it doesn't lose much distance and handles most headwinds with a touch of hyzer, and it is much easier to place on the fairway.
“I personally prefer the Volt as well. Doesn't really lose out in distance and handles most headwinds with just a touch of hyzer. It's much easier to place”
Cycles Orcs for this slot, preferring old ones though recent Halo and I-Dye Champion runs are also fairly stable.
“I cycle Orcs for this. I prefer old ones but the recent Halo or I-Dye Champ runs are also pretty stable. I’ve never found a”
Finds the Getaway a stable Escape: straight with steady fade from halfway, beating into a laser beam with a tiny hook-up that drifts slightly in a headwind.
“Getaway is a stable escape, or the trilogy thundy basically. They start straight with some steady fade from halfway through the flight, but beat into laser beams with a tiny”
After years of Thunderbirds, the 400 FX-3 fills that slot: like a slightly beat-in Champion Thunderbird but faster, holding straight longer then fading a little.
“The 400 FX-3 is what I've put in my bag for that slot that your looking to fill It's like a slightly beat in Champ Thundy, but I think it's”
Their glow Discmania CD1 fills the stable fairway slot for them currently.
“The Discmania CD1 fills this slot for me currently. What you are describing as your”

“The crank can be turned over too much but you really gotta put some sauce”
The only flippy disc in their bag is a flippy Tenacity for rollers.
“The only flippy disc in my bag is a flippy Tenacity for rollers. Otherwise I”
Found the Rat not as overstable as a Zone and too glidey.
“Rat - was Innovas first shot at a Zone clone. Not as overstable and too”
Likes Westside: finds the Tursas and Warship underrated mids, and with wide-open space they can get the Destiny out past 430 ft.
“Nice I'm glad to see someone else likes Westside, tursa and warship are under rated mids, and if I have a wide open space I can get the Destiny out”
Lost their Trail in water at a tournament, and their backup TSA Construct with the same numbers performed better, with more glide and control.
“I threw my trail in the water at a tourney. My backup was the thoughtspace Construct (same #). It performed better! So I’m in no rush to replace the Trail.”
The Atlas is their go-to straight-as-an-arrow flyer.
“Innova Atlas is my go to straight as an arrow flyer. Mvp hex also a”
The Polecat is easily the straightest disc in their bag: new, seasoned, whatever, dead straight.
“Easily the Polecat is the straightest in my bag hands down. New Otb, seasoned, whatever dead straight. I've got some”
Their Escape is a bit broken in and perfectly straight right now, though it will be understable soon.
“Escape is a bit broken in and is like perfectly straight right now. Will be”
For forehands, their Sexton Color Glow Firebird is ridiculously straight with a slight finish at the very end.
“It sounds weird but for a forehand, my sexton color glow Firebird is ridiculously straight with a slight finish at the very end.”
Their money disc is the Champion Teebird: forehand and backhand flex, 100 ft spike hyzers, and the classic neutral flight to reliable fade; at 5000 ft elevation it is their go-to outside upshot range.
“Ill be completely unoriginal and say Champ Teebird. FH flex, BH flex, 100ft spike-hyzer, high BH straight to aggressive fade, and the classic neutral flight to reliable fade.. no other”
The Stabilizer has taken the stress off short approaches and scrambles: perfect stability to flex or throw forehand, and it feels more connected to their brain than anything else.
“Streamline Stabilizer. The amount of stress that disc has taken off of short approaches and scrambles is fantastic. I've been throwing it a couple of years now, but the longer”
With back and arm problems limiting their forehand, the Paradox is one they can throw backhand for reliable anhyzers and turnovers.
“Axiom Paradox, had a lot of problems with my back and arms the last few years, this is one I can actually throw backhand and get good annys or turnovers”
Their Star Caiman is basically a wind-fighting overstable approach disc that doesn't want to fly far, a 5-speed that works more like a putter.
“I have a Star Caiman that is basically a wind fighting overstable approach disc because it absolutely doesn’t want to fly far. A 5 speed that works more like a”
Their Cosmic Neutron Signal is the sweet spot of understability for them.
“Newest: MVP Signal (cosmic neutron), it‘s that sweet spot of understability for me Oldest: Axiom”
Doesn't have the arm to throw the Rive on hyzer, but on slight anhyzer it flies far and predictably, maybe 350–400 ft, and fights wind well.
“Rive. I dont have the arm to throw it on hyzer, but slight anny it flies far and predictable. Im getting maybe 350-400 with some anny. Fights wind well too.”
Finds the Järn ridiculously good, especially in Kastaplast plastics; it fought their Tactic hard for the slot and sometimes went further but was dumpier at times.
“The Järn is such a good disc. Like ridiculously good. Especially in the Kastaplast plastics. I throw a Tactic in that slot but it and the Järn fought a hard”
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,”
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”
Bought the Sync in DX and Star plastic and finds it really not bad, quite similar to their Envy.
“I've bought the Innova Sync in DX and Star plastic, and honestly it's really not bad. Quite similar to my Envy actually.”
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”
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”
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”
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”

“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”
Got the Seppo Paju Swarm that just dropped: it feels almost like a Buzzz but is a true meat hook.
“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”
Bags and loves a Deflector, and also really likes an FLX Drone from a misprint mystery box: both are reliable meat hooks that hold a floaty line when thrown hard.
“I bag a deflector and love it, BUT I received a FLX Drone in a misprint mystery box and really like it. Both are reliable meat hooks that will hold”
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”
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”
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”
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.

Thrown flat, their XT Nova holds true until its spin slows, then just drops.

Bags Anodes: an Electron one for putting and a Neutron one for throwing.
“Anode, I have an Electron for putting and a Neutron for throwing. edit: I see”

“F9 all day. Thing easily fights out of the hardest hyzer. Rolls like a bitch. Extremely unpredictable flight. I hate”
Finds the Fission Fireball a meat hook in a good way.
“Fission Fireball is a god damn meat hook”
Finds the Malm really excellent: reliably overstable, gets some stand-up and turn, and goes a long way.
“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”
Found the Hallux really good for a different shot from the Trail, something like a longer Raptor.
“for me Hallux was really really good too, but different shot, longer raptor kinda trail and control pair are the”
Finds the Tactic, especially Neo, a beast for skip shots and forehand rollers.
“Tactic, especially neo, is a beast for skip shots and forehand rollers. When laid down”
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”
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”
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”
Reaches for the Pixel in the woods on holes under 250 ft: it holds anhyzer or hyzer the whole way, holds a line then flattens, or goes straight without fading.
“Am I in the woods? Is the hole under 250? Then I am reaching for a Pixel. Do I need it to hold an anhyzer or hyzer the entire way?”
Their favourite overstable fairway is the FX-2, which they find flies like a beat-in Sexton Firebird.
“Really unpopular answer, but the Prodigy FX-2. Almost nobody likes this one, but I think it (at least mine) flies like a beat-in Sexton Firebird.”
Calls the C-Line FD2 (many still sold as FD1) the best overstable fairway they have ever thrown.
“I would go with a C-line FD2 (many still sold under the name FD1 which it changed from). It is the best overstable fairway I have ever thrown.”
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.”
Has many putters including the Banger GT and Pig, and feels the Banger GT falls quickly when putting with it.
“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.”
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”
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 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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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.”
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”
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”
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:”
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 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 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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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. -”
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,”
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,”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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.”
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”
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”
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”
Finds the Zone SS amazing, with a beautiful flight, and usable in most cases where they'd throw a flippy mid.
“More of an approach than a mid, but Zone SS is amazing imo. Beautiful flight for me and I can usually throw it in most”
Loves the Neo Origin: it starts slightly flippy and beats into a thing of beauty, with a crazy amount of glide.
“I love the Neo Origin. Don't pay attention to the numbers these start out slightly flippy and they beat into a thing of beauty, not”
Just got a SoL and finds it the straightest disc in their bag so far.
“Just got a Sol the other day I know it’s not a 0/0 like the mako3 (I love my mako) but that Sol has to”
Lost their Tursas and got a Fox, which is also very good.
“I sadly lost mine and ended up getting an Innova Fox. It's actually very, very”
Just got a VIP Ice Orbit Tursas: it feels great, is true to its numbers, with a nice turn right out of the gate.
“Just got a Tursas in VIP ice orbit. Feels great and is true to the flight numbers. very nice turn”
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”
Bags a Founder, which is comically flippy but a great roller and get-out-of-jail disc.
“I also bag a Founder, which is comically flippy. But, it’s a great roller and get-out-of-jail disc.”
The Detour is their flippy mid: it can be burned over but is a hyzer-flip-to-drift machine that goes forever, and nice on forehands too; their max is about 375 ft.
“Detour is my ‘flippy mid’. You can burn them over, but they are generally hyzer-flip to drift machines that go forever. \~375’ is my max golf distance, primary throw is”
Finds the Kastaplast-made Svea slightly understable but the House of Discs Svea very flippy.
“For me, Kasta Svea is slightly understable; HoD Svea is flippy AF. Had a Kasta Kaxe and loved it; bought”
Their 165 g Fission Rhythm is money at 280–300 ft RHBH; their Signal broke in too hard and became essentially a roller.
“Fission Rhythm. Used to be the Signal but it broke in too hard, and now it's essentially a roller. Fission Rhythm is money. Mine is 165, I feel anything lighter”
Switched to the Grace, the best Wraith they've had: slam it flat and watch it fly, a gentle turnover, or a little hyzer for a bomb.
“For that reason, I've switched to the grace, it's the best wraith I've ever had, slam it flat and watch it fly, gentle movement over, or a little bit of”
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.”
Their DD3 flies further than their PD, so it has a spot in their bag even with modest arm speed.
“My DD3 flies farther than my PD, so there's a spot for it in my bag, even if "experts" think”
Likes their Älva a lot: it puts them in the 390–420 ft range, though it needs a lot of room side to side and lifts fairly high during the turn.
“I've been liking my Kasta Alva a lot! I would say it puts me in the 390-420ft territory, but it needs a lot of room to move side to side”
Bags a Star Wraith that is slightly understable, very workable and goes far.
“I normally only bag two: Star wraith, slightly understable, very workable, goes far. S-Line DD3 (innova made), slightly overstable, can”
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”
Throws a seasoned Hybrid Trespass for max distance, about 400 ft, while a Hybrid Stag goes 350–375 ft more consistently.
“Seasoned hybrid Trespass for max, for me. About 400’. Although a hybrid Stag will get me 350-375’ more consistently”
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.”
Uses a 173 g Supreme Trespass for controlled distance of 360+ ft.
“173 Supreme Trespass - controlled distance (360+) 168”
Uses a 158 g Z Lite Nuke for max distance, about 400 ft.
“158 ZLite Nuke - max distance (400) 158”
Their 2018 Brinster Destroyer is by far the most overstable Destroyer they've thrown; 2021 Calvins have more glide and dome.
“My 2018 Brinster is by far the most OS destroyer I’ve thrown. If you want more glide/dome, go with the 21 Calvin. Brinsters tend to”
A 166 g Fission Time-Lapse added 30 ft for them out of the box, though a 162 g one can get a bit squirrelly.
“A different disc that added 30 feet right out of the box for me was the fission Time Lapse, 166g. I've tried a 162g and”
Throws a Plasma Mayhem for pure distance on a nice flex line without overturning, though their Trail is only 20 ft shorter with less side-to-side movement.
“For pure distance, I throw a plasma Mayhem. It flies on a nice flex line without having the chance to overturn. But honestly, my trail is only 20 feet short”
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”
Agrees the Shryke isn't consistent but has an amazing Champion F2 one; Star and GStar versions are all over the place.
“Yeah agreed on not the most consistent, but damm you can find some good ones. I’ve got a champ F2 that’s amazing, just wish I”
Finds stable Hades the best disc ever but gave up on them because too many were super flippy.
“Yeah man stable Hades are like the best disc ever. I gave up on the Hades though because too many”
Primarily a forehand thrower who went back to the Star Charger: a little less fade than a Destroyer type with a little more push.
“Primarily a forehand thrower, I got back on the Star Charger train. Little less fade than a Destroyer type with a little more push.”
Their beloved Ballista Pro is domey, feels great forehand and backhand, and goes very far.
“Otherwise, its my beloved balista pro. It is domey and feels great on both forehands and backhands. It goes very far too.”
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.”
Most of the time their beefiest driver is a Neutron Dimension.
“Most of the time the beefiest driver is a Neutron Dimension.”
Finds their 750G D1s, Matty O runs and others, the farthest-flying straight drivers they have thrown.
“The Matty O runs and the runs without the MattyO stamps. The 750G D1s are the farthest flying straight drivers I've ever thrown. They're really special for those”
Recommends Innova-made PD2s: fairly glidey and not stupidly overstable, but never turning over by mistake.
“Champion elixir or Innova made PD2. They’re actually pretty glidey and not stupid overstable but you’re never going to turn it over by mistake.”
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 most beat-in disc was their first DX Leopard, recently replaced by a Star Rollo that does everything the Leopard did and more.
“My most best in disc in the bag was my first DX Leopard. I just replaced it with a Star Rollo. I didn't mean to, but bought a Rollo, and”
The Z Swirl Buzzz SS is their go-to straight mid: much more stable than their ESP SS, flying like a true 5/5/-1/1; they bought three more after throwing the first.
“Buzzz SS in Z Swirl is my go-to straight mid 👌🏻 It's way more stable than my ESP SS and flies more like a true 5/5-1/1 imo. This is the”
Finds the Tempo laser straight with a baby fade on a flat release, fade with a soft skip on hyzer, and a flex that finishes straight on anhyzer; great within 250 ft.
“Tempo. Release it flat for a laser straight shot with a baby fade. Hyzer? Fade with a soft skip. Anhyzer? Flexes out and finishes straight. Love it for anything within”
Loves the Echo but finds the Neutron ones not stable: dead straight unless the wind picks up.
“Love the Echo, but that thing is not stable, at least all the Neutron ones I tried. Dead straight for”
Throws with a bit of hyzer release, so the Stig is a go-to mid; theirs is a bit more understable but not bad.
“I throw with a bit of a hyzer release, so STIG (kataplast) and salamander (mint) are my go to mids. My stig is a bit”
Their very old Z Buzzz hasn't been bumped by a Salamander: they can make the Buzzz do whatever they want as a midrange.
“I really wanted to love the Hellbender Salamander but it hasn't bumped my very old Z Buzzz out of its spot yet. Different discs, but I can make the Buzzz”
The Idog isn't super overstable but goes further than any 7- or 8-speed they've compared it with.
“While they are not super overstable the IDOG goes further than any 7 speed and 8 speed I have tried and I compared it to”
Their Premier FD is pretty stable: a C-Line FD is happy from 70% to 100% power, but the Q-Line needs 85% or more to fly well.
“My premier FD is pretty stable as well. The c line FD i have is happy from 70% to 100% power, the Q line needs 85% or more to fly”
Finds the Evader a little more overstable than a Teebird: it can be thrown into a headwind without turning over like some Teebirds.
“An Evader is just a little more OS than a Teebird. You can throw it into a headwind and it doesn't turn over like some”
Really likes their Z Confetti Cigarra: a very reliable fade, a little more stable than the FD.
“I also really like my Z Confetti Cigarra which fits in after my Teebird 3. It has a very reliable fade, but it’s a little”
Their Glory is probably the longest-tenured disc in their bag, a very reliable stable 7-speed.
“Longest in my bag is probably my Glory. Very reliable stable 7 speed.”
Naturally throws on hyzer, and Eagles and Roadrunners suit that well; they bag several of each in different plastics and wear.
“Eagle's and Roadrunners. As someone who has a strong inclination to throw on hyzer, both suit me quite well and having a few of each in different plastics and degrees”
Finds the Saint Pro very understable and glidey and a different disc from the regular Saint, but would use neither in the wind.

The Bear is their favourite right now; it just has a beautiful flight.
“Bear is kinda my favorite right now though, it just has a beautiful flight”
Their 171 g Trail turns into a roller thrown flat, but a 168 g one flies a perfect flat line and dumps after about 300 ft.

“Hard Exo Link for my straight flying putter, Jawbreaker Luna for my”

Started with Pures and liked them over deeper putters, and they are good throwers too.

Had a Pro-D FLX Challenger with a wobbly flight plate from tree hits that was maybe the best hyzer-flip putter they've had.
“I don’t bag it anymore, but I had a pro-D FLX Challenger that hit one to many trees. The flight plate is all wobbly and it’s hideous looking. Maybe the”
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”
Putts with the P2, now in P-Line protos: medium-low glide, dependable fade, fits their hand, and they love the finger ramp.

Finds the Roach a great putter, cheaper than the Luna.
“I have experience just with roach, great putter, cheaper than Luna and internet seems to”
Putts with a Cosmic Electron Medium Proxy: the shallowness suits their small hands, the plastic is really grippy and it is super straight.
“Proxy (cosmic electron medium) - I got junior whopper hands so the shallowness feels good. The cosmic electron plastic is really grippy and it's super”
Finds the Envy way more stable than the Proxy, especially in Plasma; they can put a lot of heat on it without it turning over much.
“Envy is way more stable, especially in plasma plastic. I can put a lot of heat on it without it turning over”
Putts with the Watt for its glide and neutral stability; it holds its release angle well and has a round, uniform profile of medium depth.

Putts with the Classic Blend EMac Judge, preferring it to the regular Judge's giant bead.

Has never held a putter that felt better than the Praxis, and it naturally does what they want.
“Praxis Never held a putter that felt better in my hand. I’m relatively new to it, so still working out the kinks but it just”
Always comes back to the Judge, nice for throwing and awesome for putting, though they prefer the EMac for throwing because the regular bead is too big.
“I always end up coming back to my Judge. Nice for throwing and awesome for putting. I like EMac better for throwing, because the bead is too big on the”
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”
Recently swapped to a Soft Burst Deputy that has impressed them and their card mates.
“I recently swapped it with a soft burst Deputy that’s equally impressed me and my card mates.”

Uses the Zone for forehands and anything needing late movement.
“Zone for forehand and anything needing late movement. I have”
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.”
Picked up a Matty O Tournament-X Maiden on a whim and it is the most laser-straight disc they've thrown: very glidey, no turn, and a baby fade if thrown slightly nose up.
“Picked up a Matty O. Tournament-X Maiden kind of on a whim and it turned out to be the most laser straight disc i’ve ever thrown. Super glidey, no turn,”
Uses the Range on shots they want to just die out, since it quickly loses glide, for straight approaches that should park with minimal skip.

“I typically bag a Hybrid Warden for that slot, which flies very straight with a soft fade. Mid: Pathfinder. Fairway:”
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”
Took their Bergs out of the bag: sub-optimal when they want ground play or in stiff crosswinds, and it needs more power to go as far as other putters.
“I have some bergs, but they have come out of my bag. I find that they are a sub-optimal disc when I want a bit of ground play or shots”
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”
The Athena is very forgiving of their form: when they try for max distance many discs burn over, but they can count on the Athena.
“Athena. It is very forgiving of the natural weaknesses in my form. Something about the way I throw when I’m trying to get max distance makes a lot of discs”
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”
Settled on a 156 g Fission Tesla: straight to stable out of the box, now with some turn on flat throws and a predictable fade, still reliable in headwind, thrown about 360 ft.

The Tesla is pretty stable for their arm speed, but they can usually flex or fully turn an Inertia.

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.”
Their oldest disc is an MVP Relay; they use it less now but it is a good hyzer-flip disc for tight lines in the woods.
“The oldest disc in my bag is the MVP Relay with the turtle stamp that the PDGA gave out for becoming a member in 2022. I don't use it as”
Has a new run of Wraths that fly like a beat-up Tesla and an older run that flies like a Cosmic Tesla, just run inconsistencies.
“I’ve got a new run of wrath’s that fly like a beat up Tesla and an older run that flies like a cosmic tesla, just”
The retooled MD1 changed their game and kicked two discs out of the bag: very versatile, and their go-to when they need a laser beam that just sits.

Their favourite mold to throw is the FD, as a self-described tunnel-shot junkie.

Recommends the K1 Falk: it feels amazing in hand and flies for days.
“Trust me, go with a Kastaplast K1 Falk. Feels amazing in the hand and flys for days. You wont be”
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”
Has three Anvils that all fly far more stable, yet faster, than their Zones.
“4 2 0 4 are Westside Anvil numbers, and all three of mine fly way more stable, yet faster, than my Zones. I look forward”
The Warship flies like a mix of mid and fairway, holds any line and handles headwind and torque; as a forehand thrower it kicked the Buzzz out of their bag.
“For me, it's a Warship. Flies like the mix between a mid and fairway, holds any line it's put on, and can handle head wind and torque. I know you”
Their Champion Roc3 hasn't left the bag since they first used it: absolutely reliable on their slight-anhyzer throws and their second most thrown disc.
“I am most comfortable with slight-anny throws because of my years of playing Ultimate, and my Champ Roc3 has not left my bag since the day I first used it.”
Throws many MD3s and finds full-weight C-Line or Metal Flake C-Line the ticket; a Swirly S one is oddly the most stable, and the Iron Samurai 4 MD3 is straight to understable.
“I have a bunch of different MD3's and throw them regularly. IMO a full weight C-Line or Metal Flake C-Line are the ticket. Oddly, a Mariner's Tide Swirly S is”
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”

“I bag three Neo Methods between my Origin and Mutant. One newish with some bite, one lazer staight and one beat in one that turns nicely when thrown”
Their Eagle McMahon Resistor is their lucky approach disc: it always lands better than expected and is very accurate drifting in on a hyzer.

Has two Orange Prism Proton Pyros and finds them perfect, though an R2 Resistor now overlaps that slot.

Threw a Buzzz for years but gets better results from the Compass, which has a little more glide while keeping predictable distance.
“Lat64 Compass is my go to. I threw a buzzz for many years, but in my experience the compass gives me better results. It has a little more glide while”
Their Proton Matrix has an approach-disc feel with easy midrange distance, comfortable backhand and forehand, works well in wind and goes where they tell it.

“Innova Jay is actually a really great straight mid, I throw a hex, but the Jay flies like a reactor”
Uses the Balance more than any other mid, sometimes pulling out a Hex or Reactor.
“Axiom Balance. Use it more than any other. Sometimes I pull out the Hex or Reactor. Tempo is another great”

“Prodigy Archive. Don't let the 5-5-0-2 numbers keep you away. It's a little less stable than that. It's not beefcake beefy but it still has enough stability to hold up”

“The Drop is the latest- great disc for upshots, like a shorter Justice. Longest in”
Their DX Roc is beaten to hell with a faded face but is still the straightest-flying disc in their bag.

Their Star Mako3 is their most workhorse, laser-beam disc, used on many shots.
“Star Mako3 is the most stable, most workhorse, most laser beam disc I own. I use it for so many”
Throws M2s: a beat-in 400G M2 as a straight-to-slightly-understable mid and a 750 or 400 M2 as a reliably overstable workhorse; the two cover 90% of their mid shots.
“I throw M2s. I bag a beat in 400G M2 as my straight to slightly understable mid and a 750 or 400 M2 as my workhorse overstable mid. (Not Justice”

“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”
Bags a Pig that flies every bit of the 1/0/3 printed on it.

“Insanity is the longest roller I’ve ever had in my bag and I’ve rolled wraiths.”

“Buzzz SS is my straight shooter, a regular Buzzz is a little overstable for me and not my favorite, but the disc I bag in that slot that I LOVE”
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.

“Claymore First day with it I hit an ace. Already have three aces with it now in under a year. The only disc I own that I can”
Finds the Star Toro a super-overstable approach disc with no glide that fades hard however it is thrown: they throw a Wraith 400 ft but can't get a Toro past 225 ft, and it is a great sidearm scramble disc.
“But yeah, the Toro is a super overstable approach disc that does not glide at all. Like, if you were to take a Zone and mish mash it with a”
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.”
Tried the Scorch forehand and cleared the mando every time on a hole where they only clear it about half the time backhand, so it stays bagged.

“I just added an Essence to my bag after never using fairway drivers. I’m in love. Almost 400 ft DEAD”

“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”
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”

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”
Their favourite fairway is the Cicada: the TI Swirl release goes for miles and even with a noodle arm the 2026 Team Series one is an easy 250+ ft.
“To answer your question…it’s a Cicada. The TI Swirl release just goes for miles. I have a Jawbreaker ESP, which was my workhorse Fairway, and the 2026 Team Series. To”

“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”
Has bagged a Virus for five seasons; it went from straight-stable to very flippy as their arm speed rose and it beat in, a disc that can grow with you.
