98 new this week, from players and from around the web.
Says the Lift is not really a straight 9-speed: it is an easy turnover or hyzer-flip disc that holds up to torque.
“You should try throwing the lift. It’s not really a “straight” 9 speed. But that’s the point. You can have overlap on paper just looking at numbers but you throw”
Traded for a new Royal Grace (a Kristin Tattar edition) that is so overstable it is borderline unusable for them right now, though it is the nicest-feeling disc they have had.
“It’s the Kristen tattar grace. It’s so overstable it’s borderline unusable for me right now but I look forward to the day I can get some use out of it.”
In every tournament their flippy-to-straight fairway slot goes to a Dynamic Discs Escape, which they have thrown since starting with a DD starter set. Doesn't think it's the best disc for the slot but throws it better.
“any tourney that I play this slot is always filled by a DD escape. I think it’s sentimental because I started with a DD starter set. I’ve been throwing an”
About 15 different mids have passed through their bag, but they couldn't shelve their Opto-Ice Orbit Fuse for even a round. It is perfectly seasoned after almost three years and they no longer lend it to friends.
“There’s probably been 15 different mids through my bag, I even tried putting my Fuse on the shelf but that only lasted for one round lol. Biggest problem is that”
A long-time Crave thrower who tried a Swirly S-Line FD as their straight fairway this season and has been killing it with the disc, calling it their best fairway driver in ages now that it is seasoned.
“But decided to try the Swirly S-line FD for this season as my straight fairway and I've been killing it with the disc. Probably my best fairway driver I've had”
Their Proton Inertia turns more than they'd like, but their glow Eclipse one is perfect: straight for a long time with a pushing fade, holds an anhyzer for 375+ ft and gives big hyzer flips for 400+ ft.
“Try the MVP INERTIA in Eclipse plastic. The proton one I have turns more than I’d like but the glow one is so perfect! Straight for a long time with”
The Project Grip Diamond is doing great things in their bag: slightly more stable than a regular Diamond, so it doesn't flip as much and gives long straight pulls.
“It is an 8 speed, but the project grip Diamond is doing great things in my bag. It is slightly more stable than a regular Diamond, so it doesn’t flip”
Says the Thunderbird changed their game and was their first ace disc. Recommends GStar for a straighter flight and Champion for more stability short of a Firebird.
“Thunderbird. Hands down changed my game when I discovered this disc. Also first Ace disc. Want one that flies a bit more dead straight/neutral then go Gstar Thunderbird. Want a”
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”
Took an unused 152 g Fission Tesla to a water-heavy course expecting to lose it; it flew dead straight with dependable fade. Calls it easy to throw and easy to hit their line with.
“Thought I'd sacrifice my unused Fission Tesla 152g. It refused to die, dead straight forever with dependable fade. It's a weird Chimera of Fission, light weight and stable/overstable disc but”
Throws about 440 ft and uses an Athena out to around 370 ft: extremely controllable, very straight and with less fade than a faster disc. Released flat it drifts right for a while and comes back, and they move up to an S-Line PD for headwinds.
“Try a 7-speed. I use an Athena for this out to around 370 (I throw 440 or so with control). It is extremely controllable and very straight, and has less”
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.”
Recommends a Star Orc with the weight tuned so it can take speed without turning over or fading too hard; with a 350 ft max and 320 ft average they can rip a 168 g Orc fairly straight.
“A Star Orc with weight fine tuned where you can put some speed on it where it doesn't turn over too much, but doesn't fade too hard. I'm like 350”
When limiting their bag to 9 speeds or under, the Lots and Falk are their go-to distance discs depending on whether they feel better on hyzer or flex that day. Notes some Falks are more neutral and some Lots flippier than others.
“Kastaplast Lots or Falk. Some Falks are more neutral than others and some Lots' are flippier than others, but they both fly great. In any cases when I'm limiting by”
Bought the Fox for understability and found it even more understable than expected. Uses it for easy, reliable hyzer flips and for a hard left-to-right turn as a backhand-only player, and says it turns over better than anything else in their bag.
“I like the Fox! I got it because I need understable discs, and honestly...it was more understable than I expected. So it's used for hyzer flips (easy, nice, reliable) and”
Recommends the retooled EMac Truth as fitting between a Gator and a Hex, with decent stability without being very overstable. Calls the recent Lucid-X Burst Moonshine run very nice: stable, with enough dome for glide while still allowing forehands.
“For midranges, the retooled EMac Truth from Dynamic would fit right between the Gator and Hex. There are lots of discs that fit there, but the new EMacs are kinda”
Started out with Prodigy fairways: the F3 was the next step after outgrowing their F5 and is now their hyzer-flip fairway, with an F7 in the very flippy slot. Likes that the discs all feel the same in the hand.
“They get a lot of hate, but I started out with prodigy fairways. F3 was a natural next step once I outgrew my f5. Now it's my hyzer flip fairway”
Suggests the Beast as another Innova 10-speed with a very different hand feel from the Gorgon; in their experience it is a little less glidey and a little less flippy than the Gorgon.
“Maybe check out a Beast? It’s another Innova 10 speed, but with a very different hand feel than the Gorgon. In my experience it’s a little less glidey and a”
After trying a lot of Prodigy since returning to the sport, the only mold that stayed in their bag is a 400 H7. Says it has the same numbers as a Roadrunner but is far more controllable for them, and they only like it in 400 plastic.
“the only mold that has stuck in my bag is a 400 H7. Same numbers as a Roadrunner, but for me it's just way more controllable. I don't care for”
A 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”
Uses a Buzzz OS on one hole that needs an early right turn and a quick hard left: thrown on anhyzer RHBH it is stable enough to finish left, and they birdie it fairly often but only with that disc.
“One course I play has hole that needs an early right turn, but fairly quick hard left. I throw a Buzzz OS on that one on anhyzer (rhbh) and it's”
Recently picked up an Arachnid expecting not to like it as much as their Buzzz. Finds it slightly shallower with a similar feel and a better flight, possibly thanks to its 6 glide.
“Second was just recently picked up an innova arachnid. I love my buzzz saw and didn't think I'd like the arachnid as much as the buzzz. But it has a”
Throws a Pig forehand for long approaches, between their Berg X/Range and Gator3. Bags a beat-in R-Pro Pig and recently added a Star Pig as a more overstable option, which they are really enjoying.
“I forehand a Pig for what I call "long approaches" to slot in between the Berg-X/Range and Gator3. One beat-in R-Pro Pig and then a Star Pig for more O/S”
Used to run a Gator3 and a Range; the A2 is the only 4-speed that made them feel they no longer needed the Gator3. Finds it a very clean-releasing disc they feel confident with, and now approaches mostly with a putter, the A2 or the A5.
“I used to run Gator3 and Range. The A2 is the only 4 speed that made me feel I didn’t need my Gator3 anymore even tho I still love Gator3.”
Recommends the Wave and notes it can be flippy depending on weight, run, plastic and arm speed. Their glow Wave is much more stable than their Neutron ones, and a Neutron Wave is one of their farthest backhand flyers.
“Yeahhhh I’m with the people bringing up the Wave. Waves can be flippy though, depending on the weight/run/plastic, as well as your arm speed and manner of throwing. If you”
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”
Just picked up a Halloween Eclipse Control and finds it close to its flight numbers, comparing the pair to a Thunderbird versus a Valkyrie. Uses it on a touch of anhyzer in tailwinds for a gentle flex and on flat hyzers, says in headwinds it flies like a normal Trail, and expects it to get slightly flippier as it beats in.
“I find it to be pretty close to the numbers. It flies similar to a Thundy vs Valk to me. Tail wind I put it on a touch of anny”
Switched to all MVP, Axiom and Streamline and says the Trail gives them the easiest 370–380 ft ever.
“Trail, easiest 370/380 ever”
Switched most of their bag to MVP from Innova and Discraft this season with a noticeable improvement, and says the Pyro is amazing.
“The pyro is amazing and no one can convince me otherwise.”
Found the Jet too flippy and traded it to a friend who loves it; it is probably the friend's farthest-flying disc.
“I also found the Jet to be a bit too flippy. Traded it to a friend who loves it and it’s probably his farthest flying disc. Tho he maxes out around 250’.”
A self-described noodle arm who says the Pro plastic Wraith starts flipping after some tree hits; in field tests it gave practically the same lines as their Waves but consistently pushed 30+ ft farther.
“the pro plastic wraith is the wraith for the people. Just sand off any flashing on the bottom rim if it has some, then after a few solid tree hits will start flipping. Field testing against my waves those would”
The Bokeh is what they wanted the Buzzz to be: they never liked the Buzzz's rim and hand feel, and the Bokeh is more comfortable, goes farther and straight, and is easy to throw without much distance.
“Bokeh to me is like what I wanted the buzz to be. I always hated the rim / hand feel on a buzz and I wanted something more comfortable that goes further and straight. Bokeh”
Has two aces with the Rat and calls it a great disc, but no longer bags it because it overlaps with what they have and is so close to a mid.
“I have 2 Rat aces, and i don’t bag the rat anymore. it’s a great disc, but i just feel like it overlaps a lot with what i have already and is so close to a mid.”
Tried the Fireball in their overstable 9-speed slot; the dumpy way it flexes out got them an ace but was also why it didn't stay in the bag.
“1 Fireball ace. I was trying it out for a while in the overstable 9 speed slot. The dumpy way it flexes out got me the ace, but was ultimately also the reason it did”
Finds the Destroyer hard to beat as a reliable distance driver: Halo Star when they need it overstable, and Swirly Star has been very good as a bomber.
“Destroyer For a reliable distance driver it is really hard to beat. Need it to be over stable, halo star. Need it to be a bomber, swirly star has been so good”
Finds the Entropy very comfortable, with Electron plastic beating in to the perfect stability and staying reliable in almost any conditions.
“Entropy is similarly incredibly comfortable while the electron plastic beats in to the perfect stability and is incredibly reliable in pretty much any condition.”
Keeps coming back to the Terra and the Electron Entropy: the Terra is the perfect level of overstable for them and very comfortable in the hand.
“Terra is just the perfect level of overstable for me while being incredibly comfortable in hand. Entropy is similarly incredibly comfortable while the electron plastic beats in to the perfect stability and is incredibly reliable”
Has tried a lot of drivers but always keeps at least one Sword in the bag, in several plastics and stabilities, because it is so nice and mostly straight.
“Sword, I have tried a lot of drivers, sword is just so nice, and mostly straight, I have a few different plastics/stabilities, always have at least 1 in the”
The Tempo is a staple in their bag, great for forehand and backhand, and laser straight without turning and burning until about 275 ft.
“Tempo is amazing. It’s a staple in my bag. Great for fh and bh. Laser straight without turning and burning until you get over 275”
The TeeBird3 in Champion plastic gives them a perfect, reliable flight with a tiny turn and reliable fade, getting out to about 330–350 ft.
“Teebird3. If I don't need max distance it has a perfect, reliable flight (champ plastic) with tiny turn, reliable fade, and gets out to about 330-350 for me. I don't”
Found a Roadrunner in the woods when starting out and it was the first disc they threw a nice S-curve with; now loves the Duo version.
“Roadrunner. Found one in the woods when I was first starting. First disc I threw with a nice S curve. Love the Duo version now that I suck a little less.”
Bags four Firebirds; a stock Champion Firebird took ages to wear in but is now their favourite disc ever, and they say no other disc can do what it does.
“I bag 4 Firebirds (2 Sextons). It took eons to wear it in, but my beat up stock Champion Firebird is my most favorite disc I've ever owned. No other disc can do what it”
An ESP Undertaker has been good for them: it took a few months of breaking in to get closer to neutral and now holds a nice turnover or hyzer-flip line.
“Esp undertaker has been good for me, took some breaking in to get closer to neutral stability but not more than a few months. Holds a nice turnover or for hyzer flip up lines. DGA”
Finds the Halo Gorgon pretty sweet, but once it really breaks in they have to throw it on a lot of hyzer.
“Halo Gorgon is pretty sweet. The issue you'll have is as it really breaks in you're going to have to crank it on”
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”
Their straightest 9-speed is the Insanity: a Fission one hyzer-flips to flat and goes straight forever. They max out around 425 ft with distance drivers.
“My straightest 9 speed is the Axiom (mvp) Insanity. Fission insanity hyzer flips to flat and goes straight forever. I max out around 425ft with distance drivers.”
Recommends the Bear for a straight 300 ft: a speed 8 that can handle power and spin without turning over much, and they can throw theirs on a baby S-turn.
“If you want a straight 300, go with a Bear. Its speed 8, but it can handle power and spin without turning over much. I can throw mine on a baby”
Loved their Valkyrie until losing it in a lake: they learned to throw 200 ft with it and threw their first 360 ft with it.
“God, I loved my Valkyrie until I lost it in a lake. That disc went through a lot with me. Learned how to throw 200 with it, and threw my first 360 with”
Finds the Saint Pro very understable and glidey and a different disc from the regular Saint, but would use neither in the wind.
“Saint Pro is VERY understable, and glidey. It's a different disc than the regular Saint for sure, but I would never use either in the wind.”
Recommends the Star TL3 for something that flies bullet straight: they bag 168 g ones and consistently throw them 380–400 ft on a rope.
“If you want something that just bullets straight I would recommend a star TL3. I bag 168g ones and can consistently throw them 380-400 on a rope.”
Likes the Trace in Proton plastic for its feel and says Plasma and Cosmic Neutron fly the same; describes it as basically a Wraith-style disc from Streamline.
“I like the streamline trace in proton plastic for feel, but the plasma and Cosmic Neutron fly the same if you prefer those, it is basically another wraith style disc but from streamline.”
The Reactor is their favourite midrange for both forehand and backhand, doing both equally well.
“Reactor is my favorite midrange when it comes to be able to do forehanding and backhanding. It does both equally well.”
With a mediocre arm speed, gets workable lines with consistent fade and wind-fighting ability from a Champion Eagle, backhand and sidearm, and pairs it with a Leopard3 for hyzer flips and turning shots.
“My mediocre arm speed gets great workable likes with consistent fade and wind fighting ability from a champion eagle backhand and sidearm. Leopard3 is great for hyzerflips and pushing hyzers or flat to turn and more distance, while also being”
The Saint (Opto or Gold) was the first driver they felt they could control and place, with just enough glide and stability to learn many different shots with one disc.
“SAINT!!!! Opto or Gold Line. Literally the first driver I felt I could control and place where I wanted with just enough glide and stability that I could learn many different shots with the same”
Has given a Drift to every friend who starts playing: it flies straighter than an Eagle for new players and becomes a great workable disc with more power.
“Streamline Drift is my rec; I've given one to all my friends that start playing. It will fly straiter than an eagle for newbies, and turns into a great workable”
Prefers the Construct to the Gorgon and says it flies more like a -2/2 than its 10/6/-1/2 numbers.
“Only thing similar that I much prefer, is a thought space athletics Construct. 10/6/-1/2. But flies more like a -2/2”
Says the Bolt flies forever and gives them bullet-straight shots at any distance; with an arm speed around 54 mph and the right wind, 400 ft is possible for them.
“you might look at a lattitude 64 Bolt. It flys forever and you can get bullet straight shots any distance you want. 13 speed, but my noodle arm speed is only 54+/- and with the right wind 400 ft is”
Uses a Pro Tern when they want a long straight drive: a 12-speed that is understable with a nice flight, and it feels better in the hand than a Gorgon.
“Give a pro Tern a try, it’s a 12 speed but under stable and has a nice flight. Feels better than the Gorgon and it’s what I use when I want a long straight drive.”
Recommends the Strive, saying it really goes and that its -1 turn rating makes it sound more stable than it is: thrown flat they get a decent S-curve.
“the Strive might work really well for you! That thing just GOES! -1 on turn is absolutely rating it more stable than it actually is. I'll throw it flat and get a decent S curve out of”
The VIP Orbit Hatchet is their go-to understable distance driver at elevation; to them it flies more like a -3 turn than -2.
“The VIP Orbit Hatchet is my go to understable distance driver at elevation. To me its more of a -3 turn than a -2 so it would probably fly pretty straight up in elevation.”
Notes that K1 Grind plastic is more understable: their K1 Älva bombs while their Grind Älva rolls.
“Keep in the mind, the K1 Grind plastic is more understable for those 2 molds. My K1 Alva bombs, my Grind Alva rolls.”
Bags the A4 rather than the more popular A5 and likes its flight: some flip-up and a straight push for a while, with a reliable bite at the end.
“most people like the A5 but i actually bag the A4 . it has a super cool flight, some flip up and straight push for a while but reliable bite at the end.”
Has a 400-plastic F9 that is very domey, loves to hold a slight anhyzer and is easy to roll.
“No but I have a 400 F9 that is super domey and loves to hold slight anhyzer, and it's dead easy to”
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.”
Picks the Kaxe as the mold that surprised them most: fairway-driver speed and distance with a midrange feel and reliable stability, and it keeps surprising them the more they throw it.
“Kaxe. Fairway driver speed and distance with mid hand feel, good reliable stability. Incredibly good disc and still surprising me the more I throw it.”
The first time they felt a Svea in a shop it seemed completely unremarkable, and they bought it anyway. After a couple of throws they absolutely loved it.
“First time I felt it I told the shop owner it felt like the definition of "meh". Nothing special and nothing negative. Just absolutely boring of a disc. I bought it for some reason. After a couple throws, I absolutely”
Advises beating in an S-Line P3x: once it is properly broken in, they say it becomes the most trustworthy dead-straight throwing putter they have thrown.
“Just keep beating in the S-Line P3x. Once its broken in properly (trust me, you'll know) it will be the best trustworthy dead straight throwing putter you've ever thrown.”
Mostly throws a Proxy or Envy and says they could throw either 100 times and know exactly what it would do every time, regardless of wind.
“I mostly throw a Proxy or Envy. I could throw them 100 times each and I would know exactly what they would do every time regardless of wind.”
Says the Luna is sensitive to wobble and very deep, and they get misreleases on it more often than on shallower putters.
“Yeah, it's just sensitive to wobble and it happens to be very deep. It's more common for me to get a misrelease on a Luna over other (shallower) putters”
A forehand player who used to throw the Berg and Berg X around 250 ft and now gets the Stasis to about 280 ft and the Range close to 300 ft.
“Also a forehand player, I used throw Berg/BergX around 250, and can now throw the Stasis around 280, and the Range close to 300. Those might be good options”
Bags the Range alongside the Stasis and likes that the Range can be shaped, especially on backhands, and holds a turn. Says the Stasis is more overstable, a tick above the Berg and Berg X, and both are faster than a Berg.
“I bag the Range and the Stasis for the same reason. I like that you can shape the Range, especially on backhands, and have it hold turn. The Stasis is more overstable and a tick above Berg and Berg X.”
Has bagged a Berg for about seven years and can get it 175–200 ft without much effort, or 250 ft if they push it.
“Seriously. I’ve bagged a Berg for like 7 years. I can easily get it to 175-200 without much effort. 250 if I pump it.”
Says the Berg X has no fight for them: thrown flat it just drifts left until it turns over or lands.
“I don't totally burnout the Berg X but it has no fight for me. If I throw it flat it just drifts left until it totally turns over or lands.”
Throws Halo Sidewinders often and says they still finish but turn more than a Valkyrie, while expecting a Roadrunner to stay flippier.
“Sidewinder maybe, roadrunner still gonna be a flippy boy. I throw halo sidewinders often. They still finish but they turn more than a valk for sure. YMMV”
Has thrown the Control only a few times, enough to see it fills the same slot as their Anax. The Anax started out far too beefy for them but turned into one of their favourite discs as it beat in.
“Possibly unhelpful, but I have only thrown the Control a few times. Just enough to confirm it falls into my Anax slot. The Anax started off entirely too beefy for me, and as it beat in turned into one of”
Owns three Nu-run Dimensions and says they fly like a stable Shryke rather than what the 14.5/5/0/3 numbers suggest; only a Plasma one flies differently for them.
“What I want to know is why my 3 Nu Dimensions fly like a stable Shryke instead of what a 14.5/5/0/3 should fly like. Only my Plasma EM D flies”
Has a 2022 Tattar Grace that is a beast for their forehand drives and has never thrown it backhand.
“I have a 2022 Tattar Grace that is an absolute beast for my FH drives. I’ve never once even thrown it BH oddly enough.”
Throws about 350 ft max and uses the Escape as their straight 300 ft disc. Loves their Fuzion Orbit Escape but hated one in base plastic.
“I throw max about 350. My 300ft straight disc is the Escape. I have one in Fusion Orbit plastic and it's so nice. Hated the one I had in base plastic, but the premium is”
Calls the Inertia an underrated driver: less stable than a Trail and a real bomber with an initial left-to-right drift.
“I think MVP Inertia is an underrated driver. Less stable than a trail, really bomb with an initial left to right drift.”
A big Thunderbird fan with a 425 ft max who uses them for shots from 280 to 400 ft, getting flights from about -1/2 to 0/3. Says used Champion and Star Thunderbirds give a beat-in flight with a nice finish and GStar does it out of the box; they own over 100.
“I’m a big Thunderbird enjoyer - they’re crazy versatile, you can get flights from like -1 2 all the way to like a 0 3 at that high 300 range”
The Wave is their most used driver and they bag two in different weights; hyzer flips are their favourite shot and the Wave is a hyzer-flip machine.
“MVP Wave I think, it is my most used driver and I bag two in different weights. Hyzerflip is my favorite shotshape and the Wave is a hyzerflip machine”
Didn't like the Control at first because it is much beefier than a Trail, but has come to respect it for headwinds, hyzers around corners and flexing around trees. Advises throwing it flat or on anhyzer for distance and never on hyzer.
“I didn't like the Control at first because of how much beefier it is compared to a Trail but now I've come to respect it. It needs that beef to”
Says the Bokeh helped them a lot because it holds whatever angle it is thrown on, for better or worse, and learning it improved their game.
“Bokeh helped me so much, it holds whatever angle you throw it on, for better or worse. Learning this disc improved my game quite a bit.”
Keeps coming back to Destroyers even after switching to a full range of Wraiths this summer, because Destroyers fly better for them. Their longest on-course throw with one yesterday was about 380 ft.
“I move away because most people say that Ams would be better off throwing 11 speeds or less. I even swapped to a full range of Wraiths this summer - Champ, duo, and two stabilities of star - but I”
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”
Just picked up a Duo Roadrunner and says it flies almost identically to their seasoned Halo Thunderbird when thrown back to back. Tried forcing it over to see it hold a turn with no luck; their normal max distance is 350–380 ft.
“I just grabbed a duo Roadrunner and it flies damn near like my seasoned halo Thunderbird. Not exaggerating. I threw them back to back and it was almost identical. Tried forcing it over to see if it would hold turn.”
Finds the Star Gorgon terrible in the hand, even though its -2 turn flies beautifully straight at elevation. The feel makes them throw it inconsistently enough that they don't enjoy it.
“The star Gorgon feels terrible in my hand. But that -2 turn up in elevation is “chefs kiss” beautifully straight. But the feel makes me throw it inconsistent enough to not enjoy the disc. Trails are still pretty stable up”
Tried a Westside Bear recently and really liked it, recommending it as an overstable fairway driver.
“I tried a Westside Bear the other day and I really liked it. If you need an overstable fairway driver, that's a good one.”
With similar power to the poster, throws a Halo Valkyrie 340–370 ft lasers all day, though it may need a bit of beating in to lose the dump at the end.
“Halo Valkyrie for me and I'm in a similar bracket power wise. Might have to beat it in a bit to get rid of the dump at the end but I can throw 340-370 lasers”
Finds the Luna very sensitive to wobble; doing fieldwork with a Luna is how they fixed the wobble in their backhand.
“The Luna specifically is VERY sensitive to wobble. Doing field work with a Luna is how I fixed the wobble in my backhand.”
Throws the Berg forehand: an anhyzer flex with a K1 Soft Berg is their go-to approach shot.
“I forehand the Berg. An anhyzer flex with a k1 soft Berg is my go to approach shot.”
Lives at altitude and finds their Royal Grand Grace very beefy, to the point where they don't bag it.
“I’m at altitude and my Royal Grand Grace is just straight BEEFY, to the point where I don’t even bag it.”
Says a Star Thunderbird seems quite overstable at first but breaks in soon; for them it ends up a little too flippy, while their Metal Flake Thunderbird is just fine.
“Just buy a Star Thunderbird. At first, it seems quite over stable, but soon enough it breaks in. For me, it's a little bit too flippy, but my MF Thunderbird is just fine.”
The Wave is one of their mainstays, but it doesn't fade reliably unless thrown with a bit of hyzer; on any anhyzer it can turn hard to the right for them (RHBH).
“Wave is certainly one of my mainstays but it doesn’t reliably fade for me unless I give it a bit of hyzer. Any anhyzer and it can turn right on me pretty hard (RHBH).”
A Trail fan who maxes out just over 300 ft hoped the Control would give extra fade at the end of longer drives. Says they can't throw it: it fades much earlier than their Tesla despite being only one speed faster, and wonders if it just doesn't suit their arm.
“I’m a huge fan of the Trail, so I was excited for the Control for those situations where I need some fade at the end of a longer drive. I’m”
Has played for a year; the Maverick was one of their favourites, but after buying the Bokeh it became their main disc for shots under 275 ft.
“Only been playing a year and Maverick was one of my favorite discs. Bought the Bokeh and it’s now my main disc under 275’”
