I feel your pain.. after two shoulder surgerys I will never throw a baseball again... I have two disc that really perform well for me a star Stingray that weighs 163 and a disccraft Stratus that weighs 171... For the most part I can drive as far and with more accuracy than with my high speed disc... I have a star Roadrunner 165, that I will use if its windy... I have thrown disc for years working with my dogs, when I started DG I had max weight stuff I learned real quick that weighting down and throwing mids was what works best for me... my younger friends drive for show but in the end I out approach them and putt for the dough..... I do want to try a comet myself have heard nothing but good for them...

I'd go with a Gateway E Element. If you are smooth, you can put it out to 250' with not much power. It is the understable mid I use when I'm stuck tight against something and I can only get a small flick out.

I would say very very durable... There's one in my bag i've been throwing since the beginning of the year...and I'd still say it's equivalent to an 8/10

Fuse and Core are great discs, you can work a lot of lines with these two discs. The glide is amazing.

The GL Pain has served me well for OS duties. And I can really power it up.

People seem to love the comet. I like the ching oracle. It's very wierd but seems to work perfectly with me, give it a shot in the cheapest plastic, that's what I got.

I'd keep the axis, then get something slightly more stable and something definitively understable.

You can keep the stingray in or grab something a bit more stable like a fuse, maybe even use both. Then for something a bit more stable I say go cmd2.

I do have the putters worked out. I was using nothing but 2 SE Rhynos and a Champ Rhyno for longer stuff. My one SE is so floppy, its like throwing a tortilla. I love it. It took a hard hit a few weeks ago and I started getting protective of it since it can't be replaced. Last week, I went to Disc Nation and got a few different putters to try and see what I like. I am sticking with the Omega SS 1.26...got 3 of 'em inbound. I am using a DX Aviar A&P and a R-Pro Aviar for longish putts and approaches. I also am using a Wizard SSS with good results for long shots. Long approaches can also be handled by y Discraft Soft APX. That sucker is great up around 200' for me. I'm sure with more time, I can stretch it out more. The Ions were one I didn't pickup for some reason. No idea why.

I'm getting good suggestions here....thanks guys. The Oracle did not do well for me for some reason. Most of the guys I play with have them. I tried it and just wasn't impressed. I thought the rim was a tad shallow, like the Stingray is. Not sure...maybe I should throw it again to be sure. The guys I play with sure do well with them.

Being old school, you might like a star Stingray. The big time glide and the durability of star plastic make it one of my favorite discs.
