3 Discs - Anywhere, Anytime, Any Conditions

[Jerry R]

I've started riding my bike to work and am limited in the number of discs I can carry. I usually play DG on my lunch hour. I'm carrying a 172G DX Gazelle, 168G 11X Roc, and a 168G DX Aviar P&A. I chose these because of their versatility. So...if you could only choose 3 discs to play with for any conditions, what would they be?

[Sam]

Pro-Line Monster
KC Pro Gazelle
DX Ontrario Roc

[zippyboy]

For me, it would have to be an Avenger SS FLX (171g), a CryZtal Z Buzzz (174g), and my trusty 175g DX XD. There have been rounds where these were the only discs I threw. A 175g ESP Comet could taket the place of the Buzzz, but I prefer the Buzzz, still.

[Jerry R]

Pro-Line Monster
KC Pro Gazelle
DX Ontrario Roc


Putting with the Monster?:)

[Sam]

Roc
I thought about the putter but I cannot throw it for the accuracy I can throw the Roc for. I can putt with the Roc, so...

[Ol' Bob]

150 DX Destroyer
FLX Buzzz
Ju Ju

I might think differently on a windy day.

[proto something or other]

175 Star Leopard
180 10x KC Roc
175 E Wizard.

[Adam Schneider]

164g FLX Surge
174g Z Wasp
170g #2 Upshot

[DexterHawk]

Eagle
Beat Destroyer
San Marino Roc

I'm with sam... I could put with almost any slow disc... but I'd need some variety off of the tee!

[Pizzel]

175 Champ Orc
175 Champ Leopard
175 DX XD

[Scott]

Going with the "who needs a steenking putter" theme..

171 Star Destroyer (newish)
171 Champion Orc
175 Z Wasp (or) 175 KC Pro Roc

[Bullseye]

Teebird
Roc
Aviar

[Magilla]

:rockon:

Orc
Roc
Aviar

[Micah]

Slightly beat teebird, sligtly beat roc, kc aviar. otherwise bullseye had it right.

[Scott]

:rockon:

Orc
Roc
Aviar

I thought about going this way, but it would change my game a little. Probably for the better, because I would take safer shots off the tee without a Destroyer.

[Eric Olson]

Eagle X
Roc
Wizard

Not that much different than Teebird, Roc, Wizard really.

[proto something or other]

Eagle X
Roc
Wizard

Not that much different than Teebird, Roc, Wizard really.

It's a pretty good combo. After thinking about it, I could almost do without the Roc if I had a Wizard. I use the Wizard in many situations that I used to use the Roc in. It's also a great putter.

[JMan]

Z Force
Pro D Buzzz
Soft Magnet

[Sausage Fingers]

Can't do it. I need 2 drivers and a mid range. I can't putt that well WITH my putter; I'd put on solo tennis matches putting with my MRV. I can only make the MRV putt after I've blown the regular putt first!:pirate: YAR!

150 DX Destroyer
175 Pro Destroyer
Glo Z MRV
Aviar

[brillo]

Champion Eagle
Champion Firebird
Pro Lime Rhyno

I could play ant course then

[Wes Hansen]

TBird (beat- rolls, hyzers and turnovers)
JK Aviar
maybe a Leopard if I have to have a third disc.
I've found that ZERO discs and going with just my imagination yields the best scores.

so when are we going to put this to the test? I think that we should try a series, with rotating courses. using the honor system on disc that you use.

[Mace]

orc

Well only if i was restricted to three letters as well :laughing:

I would probably end up going with:

171 Champ. Orc

Where is this ant course...never heard of it!! :slapface:
And I wish I had a Lime Rhyno....I have only seen 2 this color!

Sorry.......guess that's mean to make fun of typos.....:evilgrin:but I couldn't resist :D

Why weren't you using those today when you were busy kicking my a$$?

[proto something or other]

Camped at Horning's this weekend and shot a -2 this morning with a borrowed buzz and a borrowed aviar. Also, I used a borrowed starfire on 13 and 18.




So, those discs.

oh man, i just love bringing up older threads... i was totally gonna check back and see what 3 i claimed at the time and make changes to what i would use now... i must have read this thread a hundred times, and i didnt frickin leave a comment on what 3 i would use?? :slapface: talk about trying to kick your own butt...

ok if i went to play a round today...
171g Champion Viking - a longer tee-bird, no one ever says anything about these, but they always fly awesome for me in any conditions.
176g ESP FLX BUZZZ
172g jk pro avair-x...
*see what i use in 2 months...

[Scott]

171g Champion Viking - a longer tee-bird, no one ever says anything about these, but they always fly awesome for me in any conditions..
Agreed - a very nice and seemingly under appreciated disc. Very straight and predictable.

[zippyboy]

For me, it would have to be an Avenger SS FLX (171g), a CryZtal Z Buzzz (174g), and my trusty 175g DX XD. There have been rounds where these were the only discs I threw. A 175g ESP Comet could taket the place of the Buzzz, but I prefer the Buzzz, still.

Well, Snap, I did post my three earlier, and, since you brought it up, I thought I'd see what they were.

I would still choose an Avenger SS, though the weight and plastic would be different - 174g Elite Z. I would still take the CryZtal Z Buzzz (though since it was a gift, I might switch it out with the 174g FLX Buzzz if I were playing at a course where I might stand a chance of losing one). The main difference is that I shelved the previously trusty XD, and am now using a 175g Organic Wizard. That thing has been nothing but money for me. Now, if only I could find two more at 175g - nobody seems to have them!

[snap7times]

wow... that's alot of flx'in in the winter; might that be some overcompensating for something? lol:angel::laughing::bricks:

[TreeLove]

Vikings are great but they wear out and flip - even max-weight Champion - at the most in-opportune times.

[snap7times]

Better a Viking than a Valkyrie... But regardless, know your discs before throwing them...

[GettinBetter]

Star Starfire
Star Cro
Star Aviar Driver

All Max Weights

[Jet]

160s Champion Orc - bright pink/red
155 Champion TeeBird (Butters)
169 Rhino -soft/flexible

[Ol' Bob]

Can't do it.
I would take three drivers, three mids, and three putters, anywhere, anytime, any conditions.

Drivers: a 150 DX Destroyer, my Champion Monarch, and my 167 Cartman dye Star Wraith.
Mids: two FLX Buzzzes with different levels of stability and my FLX Surge.
Putters: my go-to 167 Rattler, my Ju Ju for annies and 40+ footers, and my 4X Aviar-X for 60+ footers and approaches where the Buzzes are too long.

[captain jack]

Champ Valk max weight backhand
Star Destroyer 170 forehand
Star Valk 150 putter

really could use a fourth though.
KCPro Gazelle 141 thumber

Then I'm good to go. :biggrin2:

[Joshua Olmsted]

Though it would be sad to leave my favorite disc behind, my Z Extreme, if I had to pick three to play best in any condition it would be:

166 X Avenger, nicely seasoned, great for long hyzers, flippy enough for S turns and even rollers.
172 ESP Buzz, my main mid-range already
175 D Soft Magnet, already my disc for everything 200' and in.

[Dave Pittman]

On the narrow & tricky Blodgett Woods course (private) at the WDGC Invitational.

Three,
Millenium JLS 165g (circa 2001/02)
Champion Firebird 165g
DX Bulldog 175g

One,
Millenium JLS 169g from same run as the 165g and yeah it was a good run... :wink2:

Hey Dave, was that run one of the numbered runs?:pirate:

[Dave Pittman]

Hey Dave, was that run one of the numbered runs?:pirate:

These two have the 2002 National Doubles Stamp (Texas April 02?) and were probably stamped in Feb/March 02, with the discs most likely molded sometime in 01 is my best guess. They have held up incredibly well inspite of numerous tree hits (Adair, Dexter, Simpson, Willamette) and have a great feel. :bowing: The 169g has been in a box for a couple years but still has been thrown plenty over its life. I'm pretty fond of both of them and they don't get thrown on mountain courses or over water... I'll use discs that I can replace for that. Oh the 169g was a great choice for one disc by the way, I was able to shape it to a forehand Firebird flight path several times with a hyzer release. I did almost throw it (BH) into the Tum Tum river on the Top of the World hole at Greg's place. :shocked:

Those sound like some sweet discs! Good thing the Tum Tum didn't claim one!:pirate:

[Burge]

Three discs:

161 Star SL
162 Star Sidewinder
178 Buzzz-D

One disc:

178 Buzzz-D

[RallySoob]

I usualy choose between these 2 setups right now, but I just started

172 Champion Teebird or 175 Star Boss
175 KC Pro Roc or R-Pro Cro
175 Gateway Voodoo Supersoft or JK Pro Aviar-X

My Discraft Surge and ESP Buzzz are starting to grow on me too

[Shaolintrained]

172 Champ Orc
Slightly beat 180 DX Roc
175 DX Aviar

[Burge]

Okay, wait...scratch that--

I just got my hands on a Cryztal Z Buzz SS and I'd just like to say, "DaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmnnnnnIT! That is a sweet disc. Drive it, putt it, whatever. So...

Three discs:

161 Star SL
162 Star Sidewinder
175 CryZtal Buzz SS

One:

175 CryZtal Buzz SS

[snap7times]

i been trying to sell y'all cryztal buzzes for a year now gosh... now you belive me? Just gave my last one over to DION ARLYN, along with some other sweet discraft discs heh...
However I might have some more in JULY :)

[hyphenboy]

Proline (old Pro Line) Beast
DGA Squall
R Pro Dart

Hmm. I might just empty out my bag...

[sillybizz]

174 Elite Z Flick
150 R-Pro Boss (Japan Open Disc)
175 ESP FLX Challenger

The Flick for sidearms, big hyzers, head winds, tomahawks, etc.
The Boss for tailwinds, rollers, Anhyzers, etc.
The Challenger for midrange and putting.

[General Scales]

Three discs days are great.
171 ESP Force (400 foot drives rule)
176 FLX ESP Buzz (250 foot Midrange shots rule too)
171-172 Soft APX (FLX Challenger a very close second)

One Disc?
176 ESP Wasp

[Brian]

168 Star boss
160 Star Valkyrie
FLX Buzzz


I can turn the valk over easy, but I can also make it go straight. The Boss is obviously for hyzer shots. I would putt and mid with the buzzz.

I could also do this combo easily.

170 beat up star wraith
172 Star leopard
pretty much any midrange since I have like 10 different ones I really like

[Iowa]

pro wraith
z hawk
pro-d banger gt
maybe a dx roc instead of the banger...

[General Scales]

I'd also go with this three combo on super windy days:

176 FLX ESP L.E. Drone (I can throw it so hard that and it always comes back)
174 ESP Crush (Windy day 400 foot drives)
171 FLX ESP Challenger (I haven't thrown enough of my ESP Zone to change my mind)

[REDFIVE]

just a roc.

[Will of Doom]

175 Pro Destroyer
170 Champion Spider
175 XD

1 disc?
176 Crystal Z Buzzz

[blu666z]

171 Valk
169 Z Wasp
171 Champ Aviar

[captain jack]

I'm modifying my answer.

I originally chose the Destroyer for forehand, but after extensive testing, my favorite pink 170 gram Star disc has been replaced by my 172 first run Star Xcaliber.

I'm am still blown away by the stability of the Starlight Boss, its incredibly stable for its weight, but the Xcal is still more stable, and I can really crank it hard over when I release it and it always comes back.

Still want to try one of those stabilized Destroyers.

[snap7times]

Alright lets see...
Prob would take theses 3 discs with me
175 Champ Valk - the viking still is awesome, but the valk allows me room for turnovers and s shots...
Cryztal buzzz - no weight known, 173 to 178 somewhere in there.
172g JK avair

ESP Predator
ESP Buzzz
Z Avenger

Revised

Z Force - Everything that requires a hyzer or lots of side to side movement
ESP Buzzz - Everything within 300' of the pin
ESP Pulse - Mostly sidearms, rollers, or longer strait shots with minimal fade.

In retrospect this is pretty much all I threw during the RCO...

So you putt with the Buzzz as well?:pirate:

[sillybizz]

ESP FLX Challenger - max weight
ESP FLX Buzzz - max weight
Star Valkyrie - max weight

I changed my mind :)

[RonTheWhip]

So you putt with the Buzzz as well?:pirate:

No, I putt with a Challenger. But if I only had three I could easily putt with a Buzzz instead.

:explode:

[Parks]

DX Eagle-X
DX Roc
S Wizard

Wizard for anything without a ceiling out to 270, Roc to 320, and Eagle-X for hyzers, turnovers, thumbers, tomahawks, distance, hyzer flips, weird lines, you name it. It goes about 90% as far as my Destroyers without a ceiling, so no real need for a distance driver.

[General Scales]

So I checked to see what my answers were. I had three different ones lol.

So I have modified it to be the new and FINAL three (until I change my mind again)

Long Course:
171 Nuke (yeah, it's replacing the Force as my goto for MAX D)
176 Elite Z Wasp (replaces my love for the ESP Wasp since I broke two)
172 Pro D Ringer (replaces all putters)

Short Course:
176 FLX Buzzz (stays the same)
176 Elite Z Wasp (same reason as above)
172 Pro D Ringer (same reason as before, best putter ever.)

Now I just got to wait 6 months, check back here and see how much I changed my mind again. Bet I do.
