Discraft suggestions

[sillybizz]

Avenger SS is really cool for holding anhyzer lines and hyzer flip distance.

Predator is one of the most under rated discs ever made, a great utility disc. Headwinds, cut rollers, sidearm, tomahawk/thumbers, it can serve many purposes in your bag.

Meteor is a great slightly understable mid that glides like no other disc I've seen and holds anhyzer lines perfectly and can also do slow hyzers. During WA Team Golf Orion (tyvek on the forum here) ripped it up on the par 72 course at Steili with just two Meteors and a two putters.

I wouldn't say a Tracker is like a Tee-Bird at all. It's a lot longer and faster then any Tee-bird that I've ever thrown. Sure it goes straight but thats about the only likeness. Do love them in the Z the most. I'd say the Discraft version of a Tee-Bird is the Stalker. Except that weird small bead they have on it.

As for the mention of the ESP Cyclone, I've got a 168 in my bag now (lightest disc in there at the moment). I LOVE IT! Its the closest thing I've thrown to those wonderful Tournament Pro Cyclones. And yes I should of mentioned it on my previous list, just forgot about it. Which most people do until somebody puts it back in their hands.

This made me laugh... I can't imagine a less true statement... for any Innova mold there is equivalent Discraft plastic. Like saying Ford makes faster cars than Dodge.

i dont know about anyone else but my star teebirds are just as stable as any wraith that i have ever owned,

I do have a buddy that swears by them and keeps at least two in the bag at all times. For me the Buzzz is just as long provided with a good snap and stays straight without that weird lip.

For me the Impact works great for Anhyzer shots around 200-250'.
For straight to hyzer I do go for the buzzz though.

I throw a lot of Discraft. Love the Rattler, Buzzz, Wasp, XS, XL, Avenger SS, Predator. Learning to love the Comet and Stalker. Never quite clicked with the Cyclone.

But...if I could only keep one Discraft disc in my bag it would be a Drone. Especially in Z plastic if you can find one. mmmmm

[TreeLove]

A discraft person like yourself should be throwing a Surge, and a Tracker!

Never thrown the Z version but I swear by my FLX Drone, what's so tasty about the Z version over the others?

FLX is probably fine flightwise but I don't like the feel of it.
Pro-D beats in too quick and loses some of its meathookness.

to me the z line is way more durable. witch to me stays stable longer.

i love my surges. my flx surge ss just loves to helix. i also have 4 buzzzz 1 flx, 2 crystals,and a elite Z. i also have a wasp for tee'in off on shorter holes. but i do feel i need to try some of the other lines that discraft puts out.

My FLX Drone is the Limited Edition ones that were the first to come out and I have beat and beat on that disc for a couple years now (when ever they first came out, I forgot) and that thing is as stable as a brand new one. I find that with the FLX plastic, it looks like it's beat but still maintains it's stability.

I agree with Timber. Floppy FLX plastic just doesn't feel right :/

And I agree with Parks. I tried a soft FLX Buzzz and Surge when FLX was new on the market, and just didn't like the feel of it. Recently though, I've been looking for a super overstable mid for certain shots and decided to try out a FLX Drone. This one is flat top and doesn't feel like FLX at all, just normal ESP--the blend feels identical to the ESP Zone I got recently as well. It actually feels stiffer than several other Discraft discs that were supposed to be normal ESP that I've seen. It may be a mark against Discraft's consistency, but hey, I like it.

Well, I would like to say that you can try anything out as Discraft stuff is just basically awesome and no matter which disc you try you will probably find a home for it in your bag......but that is not the question.

Putter...it really depends on what you like for feel, how you like to putt and will you be throwing it and what do you expect out of it in a throw. Probably the most universal putter is the Challenger and if you like stiff it would be D plastic for ya and if you like more grip try the X Soft Challenger. This is an overstable putter that will take good hard throws for long approaches and not turn over while being a very solid putter.

Mid...Easy to say the Buzzz as it is by far the most popular mid range in the line and just an all around great disc. When people who throw Innova generally carry seventeen different Rocs in their bag waiting for them to get tuned to the perfect throw, this is what they are waiting for....except it starts that way off the rack and stays that way if you use the Z or ESP plastic. Oh yeah, the durable plastic in the Buzzz is available at all times for standard pricing at you local retail outlet...like the pro shop at Dalaiwood!

Driver....So many options. I have thrown the XL since 1997 and is still the most controllable fairway driver ever. But remember, it is not a drvier that you just pull back and yank like the new speed 23.787 drivers. I love the Z plastic XL and it is a very good disc. For big D I am still using the ESP Flash with room to throw it and the Surge for more direct distance pulls. The Nuke has made a big impact in my bag but not the disc I would suggest to start in with.

Drivers are the hardest as they really depend on skill level and your desired style of throw. What is your favorite Innova driver that you are using now and I can probably make a better suggestion on what you may want to try first in Discraft.

No matter what, have fun with it and it's cool to see you trying all the brands as all the companies make discs that may turn out to be your favorites!

Later,

Until Discraft gets some fast 150 class distance drivers for my old slow arm, I'll be driving with Innovas.

DiscGolfCenter.com has 3 of the D Forces in the 143-147 range too.

150g X Surges are widely available (actually down to 140g) but are extremely flippy.

[sillybizz]

Even though I'm a Discraft fan boy when I recommend a disc to a newbie it's usually Innova because of the better selection of weights, understable discs, and their flight chart which is easier to grasp at first over Discraft. Soooooooooooooo Innova is for casual players and Discraft is for serious players! hehe

Even better! (Forces that is). I agree that the 150 surges are too flippy. (they should start making them in ESP)
