NEED HELP DECIDING

I am looking for a back hand disc and don't know what to get. Some friends had told about the nuke, katana, avenger, and surge. I want to know what you guys think, because I kind of in a confused state with deciding and don't get the wrong disc.

What are you currently throwing?

The discs you mentioned all have different flight patterens and flight tendancies.

What kind of flight are you looking for? (i.e. -- left finisher? str8 finisher? right finisher? huge fade? big turnover? disctance?....)

You're lookin' for a disc, obviously, but what part of your game are you lookin' to improve with buying this new disc? I'm sure everyone on here could give lots of great insight, but we need specifics I guess.

Would be glad to help though.

What discs do you throw and how do they fly?

LH or RH? I assume since you're looking for backhand you throw forehand right now.

What distance do you throw?

The answer to those questions will help us make (useful) suggestions.

Am I wrong in assuming you are relatively new to this game? If so, please stay away from all those discs for your form's sake. They could teach you a lot of bad habits. If you are new to the sport, or even to back hand, try throwing some putters or understable midranges to develop some good form.

What's your average D and how long you been playing? If you can't reach 325' consistently you should stay away from all those discs. Throw an Eagle instead.

Good call with the Eagle. Threw and eagle for a long time when I started playing. It was my go-to disc and really helped me with learning how discs turn and fade. Accuracy to boot.

What he said.

Don't be in a hurry to drive a Vette if you've never driven a performance car. The time for that is after you've been driving for a while.
