Headwind Driver

[Mikk]

+++ on the destroyer, I keep a 175 glow destroyer in the bag just for headwind driving.

i have a esp force that has an unsually flat top that i like for headwinds. but a sure bet is a firebird.

I usually go with a pro line monster when dealing with the headwinds and the eltie z drone for a midrange. I dont usually get alot of distance because the monster just is not a super long distance driver.

If you throw katanas and what distance in a headwind........the first run star katana and even some of the flat stock stamp ones are very overstable compared to the champion plastic. The first run star has the 2010 pro worlds stamp (farting lemon). Mine is 168 grams and it is just know starting to fly straight in a headwind after 1 1/2 years. Im pretty sure the 175 grams would be the ticket.

I haven't met anyone other than me that throws a Ram. Got any extras?

Nuke OS...it's impossible to get those to go understable...I have a big arm and at The Memorial I threw them flat into 20+ mph headwinds and they stayed overstable...insane!

[ski2man]

Well, I've got plenty of choices for drivers now, thanks!!! How about the best headwind midrange?? something that can still get some distance but do what it's supposed to...

[mazza]

i like my wasp. but i've also used a fairway driver if it's to bad of a wind

Gator. Won't ever turn over. It is a firebird that won't go as far. Great for headwinds.

Star 175g Rhyno for me. I can throw it just inside of 240'. Works great as a forehand roller too. I throw it about 10' shy of all the overstable mids I thrown. On hyzer with snap it will fade slowly but consistently, or flat and slow for a predictable finish. Great clutch putter in the wind, and I can flick it on anhyzer or slow hyzer for tough upshots. Probably one of three discs I would fear playing a round without. I have taken my overstable mids out of my bag and just kept the Rhyno.

I would agree with this for sure. If I'm playing in a hurricane, I would use the Nuke OS. I threw it at my local park in gusts over 40 mph with branches flying. It was the only time I saw that disc fly straight, and not hyzer out soon. I bought it to compensate for my poor overpowering forehand technique, I does that very well. It is more stable then anything I've thrown, including max weight (XCaliber, Ape, Firebird, XXX, Trident, Destroyers, Predator, Giant, Halo, King, Riot, Blitz, and any Innova Champ Glow I have). If I need to turn hard right I throw it forehand, hard left backhand, crazy skip thrown upside down backhand or forehand. Smashed it into more trees then I can count, it has not lost stability. I have had it over a year playing 2-3 times a week. I use it as a utility disc mostly, I tend to favor my Firebird for thumbers and XXX for forehands that need finesse though. But the OS will probably not leave my bag anytime soon.

I heard the mamba is great for headwinds.
