Good FH midrange?

[Rbuzz9]

I'm trying to add to my FH quiver - my FH is turning out to be surprisingly much more accurate & consistent for drives - what would people recommend for a good Forehand midrange disc? I use Xcals as my primary Forehand drivers. I've tried flicking my Buzzz's forehand but they look ugly coming out of my hand and i always pull them too much - get good distance but they never fade until the bitter end. I'm looking for something i can muscle a bit and dont have to worry about turning over like a Buzzz.

I'm thinking something in the neighborhood of Banshee or Whippet.

I love my champion Banshee for forehand shots under 275'. I can actually throw it better than I can my FH distance drivers (Venom, X-cal, Starfire) because I don't try to put too much behind it. It is also great for shorter trouble shots where you just give it a little wrist flick to get around obstacles. One word of caution, this disc loves to skip! It's like a hyper-happy kid on a sugar buzz! I bought a Discraft Drone for similar purposes in hopes of toning down the skip factor for certain shots but found it impossible to throw a FH with.

I have a buddy that used to forehand everything...he always used a champ whippet-x. They are hard to find but the whippet was his approach disc of choice for what its worth.

try a Drone!!, there indestructible in flx and will handle anything you can throw at them / throw them at.
Also don't be fooled by their speed ratings they will go 300ft no probs.
Whippets, heavy Wasps and vipers are all ace too.

I like my champ cobra for midrange flicks (180gm). Nice & stable with just a hint of understableness

Star Gator may be the exact disc you are looking for. The reason I say this is because I had encountered the same issue as you, but from the other end. I already have the perfect forehand midrange (170 Star Gator), but just yesterday settled on a whippet as my forehand fairway driver, because I believe it to be a longer version of the Gator. Sounds to me like you are looking for a slower disc from the same overstable family of XCal/whippet/banshee/reaper. Problem solved.

If you want something in the neighborhood of a Banshee or whippet but an actual midrange (not a fairway driver), the answer is without a doubt the Star Gator. It's beadless, feels great in your hand, (DX has a big bead and just doesnt feel as comfortable in my hand) and you can really crank on it without flippin it over. It is a midrange control disc, so if you want accuracy, its the way to go. Not as much glide as a roc or buzz, but a nice overstable mid to thread gaps and park in a spot of your choosing. I use it as my all-purpose midrange. In star, it will fly the same time after time, and keep you out of trouble in tight situations

Cool thanks for the suggestions i just settled on a $7 DX Whippet just to see what the hell a very overstable midrange/fairwaydriver disc would fly like.

i have a star whippet-x and it is a beast havent yet unleashed it as a forehand fairway driver, more of a get out of trouble trick shot disc for me.

[DannyM]

Have to agree...Star Gator...very overstable so you can crank it, but it is a true midrange disc.

i think a star gator or a flx drone
