Blizzard discs good for thumbers and tomahawks?

New to throwing tomahawks and thumbers and was wondering if blizzard discs would work well? Also is there a disc that does not flare from side alot and is good for a tight gap? I envision a particular hole that is 260 straight but the gap is about 15 foot wide.

I've used a 138g Blizzard Boss for thumbers. It worked pretty good. You'll get more distance out of an Opto XxX but that Blizz Boss did better than the 150 class RPro Boss I've used before. Similar results with a tomahawk.

I like a Teebird for a shorter straighter thumber.

Why would ANY disc not be good for overhead stuff ? It's about technique, not about the disc.

Overhand

To be fair im never going to bomb thumbers or tomahawks. I prob max out around 250-260 atm. I do have a 150 flick my wife got from tournament winnings thats sitting around collecting dust. Prob give it a try. I also have a predator and i might try my teebird as well since someone said it keeps a tight spiral. I suspect overstable discs are more common for these shots. Im just looking to add another shot to the bag plus its just fun throwing them.

I use my blizzards for overhand shots. They seem to do real nice. I also have a 154 flick and they don't really seem to work as well for me.

Then again I am not great at thumbers or tommys, and probably max out around 200-220 feet.
