...what is your longest driver? I do wonders with an Innova SL 173 (LHBH).

All the high speed drivers are quite long. Determining which one I can throw marginally further than the rest is useless to me compared to knowing which ones I can throw with the most consistency. I throw Orcs for distance, but the specific mold I use for a max D driver is probably the least important element of putting together a bag for me.

Officially my longest throw is with a 12X Wraith, very nearly matched by a Star Destroyer. These days the Z Surge booms and the ESP Force is right behind that. I haven't measured any throws in a while, time to break out the RF.

171 CFR Destroyer, although I threw a buddy's first run Boss and absolutely crushed it on hole 16 @ Whistlers bend. (inside the treeline). My longest official throw was with a 169 Z Predator(572') in a park in san diego during the disc olympics, can't quite match that feat as of late.

For my longest D, I go with either of my 175 Star T Rex's. For D with more control I go with my new 168 Groove. My longest throw was with one of my star T Rex's. It went around 600 something, with a slight downhill help. Tee 5 at Hagg to close to Tee 6 at Hagg. Long throw, but left me with about a 300 ft upshot at least.

Currently, my 172 old-mold Pro Line Beast is flying the farthest, hands down.

I just recently put a 169 champ Destroyer back in my bag (High Speed Driver Boycott) and haven't been able to beat the Beast with it yet.

Just a small fyi, star and proline destroyers will fly better and farther than champion destroyers, just a mere observation and feedback from 20+ destroyer throwers. Star and pro wraiths are good for those who dont have the power to turn the destroyers. But for sure would crush a beast if the right disc is thrown from the wraith/destroyer family.

For me:
167g champ groove (mainstream run--not 1st run ) in the air.
And yes it's blue--especially beautiful, sparkly blue when outfitted with my blue LED.

On the ground, my dark blue 167 star sidewinder goes further most of the time...

169g Star Destroyer just added to the bag feels like it glides forever and ever...

I can see the Bosses I have getting up there but they are so damned overstable that it is hard to get them to go as far as other drivers. I think I need a lighter one.
