because my short game sucks
i want to learn to drive with one ect.

Sinus, Rhyno, or maybe a Pig would be my suggestion. I throw all latitude except my Upshot/driving putter is the Rhyno. I can snap the Rhyno hard and it will always come back. Lately I have been using a Zero Sinus and it is really close to the Rhyno. The Sinus has a shallow rim, Rhyno is a much deeper rim. They feel different, but fly similar. I do not own a Pig.

Flight #s according to each Manufacturer are identical:

Innova - Rhyno: Speed 2, Glide 1, Turn 0, Fade 3

Latitude 64 - Sinus: Speed 2, Glide 1, Turn 0, Fade 3

shallow rim good
deep rim bad
i use magics, so i am more used to a shallow putter

Sinus is exactly what you described. Where's Big Red when you need him? I think he's got four or five aces with Sinus's now.

Being a newer player, we will say that my form isn't perfect yet.
When I throw it correctly its beautiful, when I don't, it sure let's me know!

Now I am going to try a GL Fuse, I have a Pro-D Buzzz that I have been trying to beat into understable, but im impatient and afraid that, once I get it perfect, I will lose it.

Hey Matt, a perfectly beat in Buzzz is called a METEOR

in all seriousness, you should try one.

Latitude has the Mace out finally. 5 5 0 3. Flight review coming as soon as Marshall Street sends it to me.

actually, the disc i am after is more Comet like
i am looking for instant beat in Pro-D Buzzz
(or Buzzz SS, for numbers purposes)
the numbers can be seen here

the disc i use for Meteor type shots, is a Glide.
its has a little less HSS and has less fade also.
and those numbers can be seen here

I have 4-GL Fuses. 178 - 180g is Stable when thrown smooth. But my favorite is 175-177g which will turn nice with clean snap and just keep going right due to the amazing glide of this disc. If stuck in tight woods and no run up I like the straight glide this disc gives me when thrown smooth and soft. I personally prefer the Goldline plastic.

The GL Core and Pro D Buzz are hard for me to tell the difference. I carry both currently and they fly nearly the same for me. The Pro D Buzz has held the Anny line a few feet longer before becoming stable. But I'm not sure if that was throwing technique, plastic tackiness, or disc design?

jdinteg · #69 March 6th, 2013, 11:29 PM

Fuse = Comet

Core = Buzz

Pain = Very Stable Rancho Roc/Roc3 or Hornet

matt · #70 March 7th, 2013, 04:57 AM

I would like to try the Core, but all my regular (Z, ESP, FLX) buzzzs treat me so well, I am pretty happy with them.
It was just that Understable slot I was using the Pro-D Buzzz in, I want to replace.

I like the idea of just buying a new disc if I lose one, or having multiple of the same disc, without having to "season" them to perfection.

Interested to hear your opinion about it.
First I thought it was supposed to be between th core and pain.
Now it sounds like its more stable than the pain.
More like a wasp/roc

I am about to take my wasp out of my bag because I always use my new hornet

i got a GL 172 fuse (my normal mid weight) only got to throw it a dozen times
it was holding any line i put it on (some good, some bad) now i just need to learn how to be more accurate in my throwing.
i am very happy so far

ok so this may be old(ish) news for people but its new to me and super exciting! i dont keep up on everything in disc golf like i used to so i was super suprised today when i came accross something saying Dave Feldberg switched over to team Latitude.

i went and checked it out and sure enough it was true. WOW just wow, i would have never imagined him leaving Innova. it is really cool to see him throwing discs from Latitude/Westside/Dynamic now!

here is a "in the bag" video that shows what he is carying now.

sorry if this is old news, but i havent seen it posted here and its news to me.

tmk · #74 March 8th, 2013, 10:30 PM

Westside's Underworld is a new understable disc that has flight numbers (-3/1) that match the fuse, though it's a speed seven. So, you know, if you feel the need for speed ...

(As you probably know, Westside is a Finnish company that uses Lat 64's production facilities.)

I really like the stamp ... Scroll down to Skulboy's post (#10)

yesterday morning i got a GL 168 Saint
lost it on my 5th or 6th throw yesterday evening
found it this morning

on the throw that i lost it, that baby sailed, like it so far

Josh Heideman · #80 March 18th, 2013, 08:40 AM

I just got a Gold Line XXX 170g. Man is this disc over stable it doesn't really fly very far but it sure does have some great perks. It's got to be one of the best disc for overhand. I haven't quite got the forearm down yet but it does have really good fade for it. XXX is a great mid to long utility disc.
