Overhyped discs...

Some discs are better rollers than others, and Stratuses are good rollers. You just have to figure them out.

These aren't backhand rollers but check out a guy that can make tricky rollers work with a Stratus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apSL3JGCUEo

Yeah, that Getting Out of Trouble vid has helped me in a few situations. I spent a decent amount of time this week doing field work and snorted a few lines of pixie dust. Didn't help my rollers with a Stratus. It did make me want to slaughter a few dozen pixie's though. That pixie dust gets on top of you. Probably worse then meth.

different people should use different discs. next time someone tells you that a disc is wonderful compare your skill or style to theirs before believing their review.

The most over rated disc is the one that a player shouldn't be throwing but have convinced them self it works for them.

I have an all Discraft bag and it happened on accident. I used to throw mainly Innova because of the availability of lower weights, especially 150 class but since I have learned to throw in the past year and half I have less need for the low weight. I bought a misprint deal of Discraft from Sportdiscs.com and fell in love with a couple of discs there, then when FLX plastic came out I bought a bunch of that too and one day I realized I didn't have any more Innova or Lightning (yes I used Lightning, SHUT UP! ) in my bag and I haven't really gone back since. I make a lot of jokes with people about it but I really don't have much of a bias other than I am more comfortable with Discraft and their molds at this point and it's what I choose to throw. I am experimenting with a Pro Katana in the field right now.

Im starting to swing more towards the latitude 64 end of the spectrum. I love the feel of their opto line plastic. So sweet. I just got a gold line halo, and have only thrown it a few times. So far, so good.

Jesse you throw Latitude?! NO!

Well, it depends on the disc. Some discs act fairly similarly across a wide range of power levels and throwing styles. Teebirds are a good example. They go straight with a fade for people that can throw them from 275' to 460', and work well for a variety of styles.

This I agree with.

[Uhlman]

Perhaps I am throwing it incorrectly but the Star Roc IMO is a little overrated.

[DexterHawk]

I agree... Both star and champ rocs are tough to have as primary mid range discs is problamatic. Some discs are just better in beatable plastics.

The buzzz is sweet in both crystal and flx plastic though.

[mazza]

i have both flx and crystal buzzz. and yes they are sweet. my wasp i can see soon taking the place as my main driver mid. sorry to my rocs

[Ol' Bob]

Nice to hear the latest Buzzz.

Ya, I'm a huge fan of the Roc, but not in Champ or Star. I'll pull a champ roc out for rocky mountain golf just so I don't beat up my fragile DX rocs. I really prefer DX rocs over anything. If you haven't seen the newest run of regular DX rocs, you gotta get your hands on one. They're freaking sweet, IMO. Super hard like KC pro, but they shouldn't take a decade to tune. I think I'm going to like 'em.

You would think it would be glowing

naw... I grew up swimming in the columbia. It really three feet under the silt that you have to worry about.

[Ol' Bob]

So, how's the level of thyroid cancer in the Hanford Plume these days?

I lived on the river for thirteen years but only thirty miles from the ocean. I never went swimming and figured I got my minimum requirements just falling in now and then.
