Champ Gator has always done well for me due to its over stability

That depends on what you want it to do.

My advice is learn to thrown your putter on anny lines and get yourself a Gator or Element for stable upshots... but both Sexton and I take most of our RHFH upshots with drivers... firebird and orc for Nate and Firebird and Banshee for me.

I have been using a beast, but it doesn't fly well (for me) at slower speeds, so I thought I would try a true mid-range disc. I traded for a Shark, so I'll post how it works when I get it. Thanks everyone for all of your input!!!

If your looking to go 225-275 and don't want push your putter, go with the ZONE. It owns the Gator, the 80, and the spider. I find with the Wasp, Buzz, Drone, and Roc I can over shoot my mark as they all can get on their horses and ride out well past 300.

Yes sir, for limited predictable mid-range upshots Fore or Back hand its gotta be the ZONE. Anyone who say otherwise obviously either hasn't thrown one yet or is wrong (and I know this because the alternative is me being wrong...........)

Lightbulb Starfire, firebird, banshee, gator...

My go to disc is the Gator for under 250'.
Nice and overstable so my wrist action hardly ever turns it over.
It is either a laser beam with late fade or just a smooth hyzer.
I also throw the Whippet-x and Banshee for the same reason.
Keep in mind, I use more of a double play sidearm throw with a lot of wrist flick.
(like a 2nd baseman would use)

I only throw RHFH for accuracy or if the hole plays better with a left to right hyzer.

So after having a Champ Shark for almost a month - I love it!! I'm still working on throwing it sidearm, the deep rim seems to hang on my finger, but for a 150 ft RHBH throw it's awesome! Dead straight with just enough fade to finish where I want it.

Just a thought (thanks to the thinking of Treelove): for purposes of these, and like, discussions, RH and LH can be left at the door. Unless we're referring to turning right or left in given situations, handedness tells us nothing. Backhand or forehand is the issue only. Unless Coriolis effect really does play with our shots in a significant way, that is. (Of this particular notion, I remain to be convinced.)

I like the Z Buzz-SS over a beat-up Roc or the Zone. It's just a more versatile disc. It will hold a line nicely and is much easier to control at shorter distances than the Buzz, but you can also drive it out to 350' with a slight hyzerflip, long glide, and it will come back on a nice slow fade. FH, BH, either way, it's a great disc. Plus, it's also a rock solid putter. If I had to play a round with just one disc, the Buzz-SS would be it.

As far as throwing a mid range rhfh......i only use my SL and beast and thats when im way too far to throw bh. I have found that my champion x out sidewinder works freakin awesome for me for a mid range bh. I dont drive bh at all, so i dont have that strong of a throw, but the sw works great :-)
