haha! eclipse eclipse eclipse! I keep saying I've grown out of it (it was my first driver 12 years ago, when I first started playing seriously), but it just keeps coming in handy and I still like to carry around two with me at all times!

I 2nd the vote for champion birdie as the most underhyped disc (i.e. publicly laughed at ) I guess it will be my little secret

[cefire]

Along the lines of Papa's post, I think the XL gets my vote for Discraft's most underhyped but amazing disc.

[Cajun]

I vote for the Z-Extreme. Also honorable mention to the Ching Tank.

[General Scales]

i thought of another. the champion viking. i threw them for every situation and they always did what they were told.

I gave this disc a go a while back. It was in Z plastic and that dude was too stable for my liking although my throwing form has definately made great strides as of late. I may try and play with one again what plastic line is a good indicator of amazingness?

I dunno, but you're right to ask the question, because even Discraft gives the XL four different ratings depending on the plastic.

I just picked one up a couple weeks ago. I'm really into it. I love that its high speed turn is very gradual and deliberate, not twitchy. I don't know how better to describe it than that. Feel me? I've only thrown it in max weight ESP. I'll pick up a Z version next time.

Classic Roc

I know I haven't seen two other people use them, but they are awesome. Straight with a little fade at the end. I use mine for everthing 220' and in.

The Coyote is a great trick disc. Mine just got crowded out of my bag. But sometimes, I'm left with a crazy shot that makes me wish I had it with me.

well after starting this thread I was unsure how many different people were throwing so many diverse types of discs. I am very excited to see that this was a topic worth discussing, I am pretty sure there are so many discraft discs listed on this thread is due to the fact that we are on the west coast were as it seems if you go east of the rockies, it seemed to me when in Illinois I always saw d-craft in players bags. Anyway I just like playing with any disc that feels good in my paw, and I appreciate all the info given on all of your "misfit" discs I look forward to trying a few out, Champ Birdie sounds like it could be a blast to huck around ole Meadow Ridge.

Anything with the name Roc in it can't be in the under hyped disc section.

[Ol' Bob]

Rocs? Nobody uses those anymore. They're too popular.

(With apologies to Yogi.)

I agree that Rocs are used by nearly everyone, but I see very few people using a Classic Roc. Which, in my opinion, is different than a Roc.

Now that I think about it, I guess you're right, because I have a couple of Buzzz GT's that have the Buzzz name but no one throws. Most people are throwing the Ontario Roc? I don't know I don't know much about all the makes of the Roc.

[runnaman]

Basically, the Classic Roc is a putt/approach disc.

And much more understable than a Roc.

[General Scales]

The Classic Roc is the only Roc my buddy Casey uses. He's got three and uses them perfectly. Like most use their regular Rocs.

DX XD

I would also throw my vote in for the Z-Extreme and Tracker.
