Has a Duo Eagle in their fairway slot that is just killer, and says Duo plastic looks, feels and flies good.

“I haven’t thrown mine yet because I have a Duo Eagle in that slot that is just killer. Duo plastic looks good, feels good, flies”

Their first Roc3 and first Duo disc, the Rainers Duo Roc3, has been a pleasure to throw: a solid disc for stable approaches.

“It has been a pleasure to throw Rainers Duo Roc3. Its my first Roc3 and Duo mold. Like the effect on Duo flight! Its a solid disc for stable approaches”

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”

Found the Mako3 hard to use at first and still struggles to forehand it; a huge fan of the Hex, saying a Fission one hyzer flips easily and is hard to turn over.

“I’m a HUGE fan of the MVP Hex. A fission hex is a little more expensive but it will hyzer flip easily and is hard”

The Pilot has been their go-to putter for years, mostly for feel; they think they get a bit more glide from it when spin putting.

“Streamline Pilot has been my go-to for years. Mostly just for feel since any neutral putters will fly very similar at that speed/distance. I *feel* like I get a bit”

Spin putts with a Soft Banger GT and Judges: the bead resists torque and both are thin enough to put plenty of spin on.

“Soft Banger gt and judges. The beed resists torque yet both are thin enough that I can put a good”

Putts with an Eclipse Electron Proxy for most things, a Watt when they need more glide on C2 putts and a Glitch for even longer or uphill putts.

“Proxy, Watt, Glitch. The watt if I need a bit more glide on C2 putt, glitch for even longer putts and up hill puts. Eclipse Electron Proxy for every thang”

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”

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”

Likes the Luna because it is unforgiving and shows them exactly what they're doing wrong; the Wizard they used before could hide poor or lazy form.

“I like the Luna because it’s unforgiving. It tell me exactly what I’m doing wrong-which can be a lot. I used to use the wizard but found it can hide”

Found the Fierce a bit too flippy for putting, missing right more than they liked, and it slid very far on long upshots, leaving long comebacks.

“The Fierce was close, but a bit flippier, and I missed right more than I would've liked. It also liked to slide really far on long upshots, which led to”

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.”

Chose a putter by hand feel and landed on the Tempo, which isn't understable at all; they mostly spin putt and it has a bit of push too.

“I just follow my heart in terms of hand feel regardless of stability, and I ultimately landed on the Axiom Tempo, which is not understable at all. I primarily spin”

Spin putts with the Pure: shallow, beadless and a little understable; says Zero Pro is great putter plastic and all the Zero plastics are good.

“Pure for me. Shallow, beadless, a smidge understable. Zero Pro is such good putter plastic, but all of the zero plastics are great too. Project chain grip if you’re a”

Loves the Relay for 260–280 ft shots and says it helped them learn their backhand.

“Relay realy relay! I love this thing for 260-280 feet, and it helped me learn my backhand. But no, you”

Says the Arachnid is labelled a 5-speed but goes faster and farther than that: great for straight pushing shots with a gentle fade on a little hyzer, or a gentle rightward drift thrown flat.

“Get an Arachnid. It's labeled as a 5 speed, but everyone I know who has thrown it agrees it's faster / farther than a 5. It's awesome for straight pushing”

Got a Kaxe for their overstable mid slot and it is nowhere near as overstable as the numbers: very straight with only a slight fade, closer to an EMac Truth, which disappointed them.

“I just got a Kaxe for my overstable mid slot and it is nowhere near as over stable as the numbers suggest. Mine is really straight with only a slight”

Found a 152 g F9 borderline unthrowable unless thrown forehand.

“That seems like… masochistic to throw. I found a 152 gram F9 that was borderline unthrowable unless it was forehand”

A big fan of the Weatherman Fox, now one of their most-used discs on wooded courses: great for turnovers and hyzer flips and glides for days.

“I’m also a big fan of the Weatherman Fox. It’s become one of my most used discs, especially on wooded courses. Great for turnover shots”

Their Star Rollo is mildly understable without burning over immediately, flying like their GStar Fox; a DX Rollo is the super-understable utility disc they wanted and they can reliably forehand-turnover it for awkward scrambles.

“I have a star Rollo and it's mildly understable but does not just burn over immediately. It flies pretty similar to my gstar fox. I got a DX Rollo 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.”

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”

Their Duo Leopard3 has both more turn and more fade than their Star TL3; they share a slot but the flight lines differ slightly.

“Yes but the flights are different. My duo leopard3 has both more turn and more fade than my star TL3. They occupy the same slot for me but the flight”

Has thrown many TL3s and Leopard3s: for their arm speed a Champion Leopard3 and Star TL3 fly similarly, and their Halo TL3 flies like a Teebird should.

“For my arm speed, a champ L3 and and Star TL3 fy pretty similarly. My Halo TL3 flies like what I think a Teebird should fly like Edit: just realized”

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. -”

Keeps a max-weight Star Aviar3 for short turnovers or an arrow-straight flight with a flat landing, alongside a Jawbreaker Zone and a C-Line P4.

“Also keep a max weight star Aviar3 in the bag for those short turnovers or when I want an arrow straight flight with flat landing.”

Loves the Pig: pinpoint accurate and they've thrown it in from long range many times; bags a Halo Nexus Pig (much more stable) and an old Color Glow Ricky Pig (more glidey, less stable).

“Piiiiiiggggg. I know not everyone loves them but I’m pin point accurate with the damn things and have thrown them in from far as hell more times than I can”

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”

Throws a TSA Praxis for straight, very glidey approaches and a Vex Vessel for forehand; isn't a fan of the Inner Core, which flies straight but the Praxis beat it.

“as the praxis for straight super gildey approach. I'm in Colorado FWIW. Less dense air here. I am not a fan of the inner core, too lid like imo. Flys”

In Colorado, finds the Stasis great in headwinds and for dropping where they want it, with more glide than a Berg and a shallower feel.

“Stasis is great for headwind, and dropping it where you want it. More glide than a berg but also more shallow. I throw a TSA”

Approaches mostly with the Berg because it is the most predictable disc they have ever thrown; their Tempo is too close to their Envy to grab often, but its extra stability helps on longer approaches.

“Mostly Berg, because it's the most predictable disc I have ever thrown. I also have a Tempo which I thought I would throw more, but it's so close to my”

Uses a Watt most of the time and calls it a dream for accuracy, then an Envy, A2 and Pyro; the A2 is new and is what they always wanted the Zone to be.

“I use my watt majority of the time. Thing is a dream for accuracy. Followed by envy A2 and pyro. A2 is new and what always wanted my zone to”

Bags two Harps (a quite overstable VIP and a straighter BT Medium), a VIP Anvil for pure beef, a BT Soft Shield for straighter approaches and a Zero Medium Pure when they need something understable.

“Then I have a VIP Anvil for pure beef but it rarely gets used for approaches. Finally I have a Bt Soft Shield for straighter approaches and Zero Medium Pure”

Throws a 2021 Euro Open Metal Flake MD5 for shots up to 300 ft that won't burn over at any power level, a beaten Zone for forehand turnovers and BT Medium Harps for backhand approaches.

“2021 Euro Open metal flake MD5 for up to 300 and it won’t burn over on me on any power level, BT Medium moonshine harp”

The Heat feels good for straight, far forehands; turnovers still need a lot of work, but they should have bagged it long ago.

“Definitely Heat. Feels good for straight and far forheands. Turnovers need a lot of work, but that's really a disc I shoud get a long”

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”

Tried a Bokeh for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by its torque resistance, letting them throw it consistently backhand and forehand.

“Tried out a Bokeh for the first time yesterday. Was pleasantly surprised it has some decent torque resistance so I can backhand and forehand consistently”

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”

Loves their Detour: it holds a line with a slight fade at the end and flies consistently at sea level and at elevation, which helped when they played in Minnesota.

“I LOVE my Detour. Put that on a line and it will hold with a slight fade at the end. Also flies consistently at sea level and at elevation. Was”

Picked up a Reko from a used rack and threw it around the yard: it flies straight and pretty far and does what it is supposed to, so they have a few more on order.

“I picked up a Reko from the used rack a couple of weeks ago and threw it around the yard. It just flies straight and pretty far. It just does”

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”

Their oldest Fission Crave is their all-time favourite, max weight and now quite flippy even for their 300 ft arm; an Eclipse Crave is very straight with a reliable fade, and a Neutron one was ridiculously overstable.

“I currently still have my oldest fission Crave which is my all time fave. It’s max weight and pretty flippy now even for my 300 foot noodle arm. I also”

The Watt is their favourite approach disc after trying many others; they like the shallow rim and the stability.

“Seconded. The Watt is my favorite approach disc and I've tried many others. Like the shallow rim and the stability.”

Calls a Pig and an ancient P2 the goat approach combo: they get a new Pig every year, but the P2 is about 10 years old.

“A pig and an ancient P2 are the goat approach combo. Usually get a new pig every year but the P2 is like 10 years old haha”

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 Glitch as a warm-up catch disc and it became their go-to approach: a very soft turnover that gets around corners effortlessly.

“This is me but with a Glitch. I can just whip that thing on a very satisfying, super soft turn over that just gets around corners so effortlessly. Bought it”

Bags a Toro alongside a Zone and finds them similar, preferring the Toro for RHBH and the Zone for RHFH; the Toro feels closer to a 3-speed, likely from its lack of glide.

“I also bag a Toro and it is pretty similar to the Zone I just prefer it for RHBH and really only use the Zone for RHFH. And honestly, the”

Bagged a Harp and a Zone for a while and finds them essentially the same disc, except the Harp lands softer where the Zone hits and rolls.

“For awhile it was a Harp and a Zone. While i realize they are essentialy the same disc the Harp lands softer whereas the Zone tends to hit and roll.”

Recently switched to the A5 for backhand and forehand approaches and likes it a lot: torque and wind resistant enough while keeping some glide and a mostly straight flight until the end.

“Recently switched to Prodigy A5 for BH and FH approach and I like it a lot. I don't bag any other Prodigy discs. It's torque and wind resistant enough while”

Approaching is the best part of their game and after trying almost every approach disc they landed on an A5 plus Anvil as the best backhand and forehand combo.

“A5 + Anvil Approaching is easily the best part of my game and I feel like I’ve tried every approach disc in the game, this is the best combo I’ve”

Without a big arm, their farthest throw (350 ft) is with a 168 g Valkyrie, and they recommend dropping weight to get the flight when you can't put much spin on the disc.

“Dropping the weight will allow you to get the desired flight when you’re not able to get a lot of spin on the disc. I don’t have a big arm”

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.”

Has bagged both the Roadrunner and Sidewinder and currently keeps only the Roadrunner: it gives an easy hyzer flip and, thrown flat, a perfect slow turnover that makes up for their lack of a forehand.

“I’ve had both in my bag. Currently only bagging the Roadrunner. I find that the Roadrunner gives me an easy Hyzer flip and when thrown flat is a perfect slow”

Compares the Sidewinder to a beat-in Valkyrie that turns dependably but also comes back.

“the Sidewinder is more like a beat in Valkyrie that turns dependability but also comes”

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.”

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”

Keeps both the Stig and Falk in their glow bag and finds the Falk a big step up; calls the Stig great but really a hybrid fairway/mid, offering midrange control with a little extra fairway distance.

“I have both a the Stig and Falk in my glow bag, and the Falk is definitely a big step up. I'd love to see Kastaplast do a disc that's”

Recommends an Opto Maul as more predictable for flip-ups than a River, holding its stability for a long time: theirs is two years old and has barely changed. Finds Rivers quite touchy.

“give the Maul a try in Opto. It’s more predictable for flip-ups/overs than a River and will hold that stability pretty well for a while. Mine’s 2 years old and”

Has a Gold River that isn't beaten in yet; it sometimes copies their Svea's flight, but usually when they didn't intend it, so it isn't dependable for them yet.

“I have a river in gold plastic, but it’s definately not beat in yet. Sometimes I can replicate the Svea behaviour with the River, but usually when not intended 😆”

Wanted a beefier Buzzz, but the Buzzz OS was not for them.

“Really wanting a beefy Buzzz, the OS was not for me.”

Says the Buzzz and Hex are often compared but fly differently for them: their ESP Buzzz is straight with a reliable finish. Bagged both for a while before swapping the Hex for a Malita.

“For me, my ESP Buzzz is straight with a reliable finish versus my Eclipse 2.0 Hex is slightly flippy with a straight finish. I bagged both for a while until”

Finds their Deflectors extremely overstable and their Pyro overstable too, and uses a Zone OS as a hyper-overstable utility disc; in their experience Tempos are considerably less overstable than Pyros.

“My deflectors are extremely overstable. My pyro is overstable. I have a zone OS that I use as my hyper overstable utility Disc for short shots. I guess that is”

Goes to the Runway when they want a little more distance than a Deflector but still a mid, noting it isn't as torque resistant; considers it more of a longer Zone.

“Have you tried the Streamline Runway? It might not be what you’re looking for since it’s not as torque resistant, but that’s what I go to when I want a”

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 an Aviar and an unremarkable Colt, got a Dynamic Discs Judge (Robert Burridge stamp) that actually helps their game; it felt right in the hand, is a bit domey and is more predictable for them than the Aviar.

“Then i got a Dynamic Discs Judge. Not sure of the plastic atm but its a Robert Burridge stamp. This actually helps my game. Thing is sick. Idk how to”
