Newbie looking for new drivers

[bi0spark]

As a beginner I have been trying to use lightweight and more understable discs. The drivers I have are a Blizzard Champ Katana 158g, Opto Air Bolt 152g, Blizzard Champ Dominator 158g, and Z NukeSS 165g.

Recently I have realized that I am getting more power on my throws and the Katana and Bolt (my main discs) are turning over most of the time. I was wondering what discs I should try now or if I should just try the same discs in higher weights (if so how heavy should I try).

Thanks for the help!

More power or just more torque? If they are turning over, it doesn't necessarily mean your power level has graduated.

I have a friend who let me use his Blizzard Boss to try. Even with my cleanest form I couldn't get that thing to fly right. I literally have to throw the blizzard stuff in a completely different way than any other discs I have in order to get any distance with them. I can out throw him with my putter all day long.

My suggestion would be to use a slower speed disc in the 165-170g (leopard, trak, xpress, etc.) and work up from there. The speed thing is misleading. It doesn't necessarily mean the disc will go farther, it just means the disc needs less speed to fly right. In other words, for a beginner a slower disc is going to be easier to get distance.

After using the blizzard stuff, I'm convinced it will set back your game if that's what you learn to drive with.

Step away from the 10+ speeds.

I used em early, stopped doing so when I realized I was using them just cause my form was bad. I switched to using a gazelle and leopard only for a bit. I learned how to throw a leopard 300ft. Then tried my surge again. I was throwing it much further than before. I'd say get you a leopardland something a little more stable and try just using those. You put less spin and power into the throws now than you will. So you will benefit more from something slower. As a 13 speed will fade out sooner with the slow speed. And a.slower speed will go straight further without a giant fade. Also, blizzard discs aren't wind resistant.

Legacy rival is control with distance.

Try that out and let me know.

Try anything less then a 10-11 speed lol. My favs west side underworld or stag maybe a teebird. Less power better control an they will teach u how to throw the higher speeds.

Try a Volt. It's my go-to for a straight 300' shot.

Before we go wild with the suggestions, how about trying to find out what's actually happening, so that we could make educated guesses?

bi0spark: How far do you throw/can you throw your putters, mids and drivers? Discs used with average distances if at all possible. How do they fly for you when thrown flat? Forehand or backhand?

Thanks for all the help and quick responses! My Katana has always been my go to disc and RHBH I usually get about 260' to 280' with the occasional 300'. I get a little bit of a right turn but it fades back and lands pretty much straight out. For mid range I throw a buzzz SS and get it about 220' to 230' and it goes very straight and fades a few feet left.

Hope that helps and once again thanks for the help

If that's the case, you need to get a 165-167g DX Leopard

As a fellow noob step away from the 13 speeds they are doing you no good......There are those on here that would say you shouldn't even be throwing a driver at all at this point.....Im up to maybe 300 and I just am able to turn over a 150 DX Leo....so take that for what its worth.....I cannot turn over my Valk yet....

Get a leopard and or a valk...probably a leopard
