What to add to my bag?

I have one mid-range that i absolutely love (Drone ESP), however, I am looking for a mid-range that is more of a straight-line disc. Any suggestions?

Also, living in Kansas, it is often windy...is there a certain weight I should be searching for, or is it just a matter of personal taste?

If you want to stick to Discraft, the Comet might be a good choice. It is slightly understable but it is a good disc for beginners. Also, a Meteor would be a good choice. However, the Buzzz is going to be the most stable (straight flying) disc if you have the arm for it.

For an Innova disc, I would recommend a DX Stingray or a DX Wolf.

For playing in windy conditions, it is generally better to throw a heavier disc.

Heavy weights for mids, especially in windy conditions. If you're use to rippin a drone, it seems a Buzzz would be the logical step down with Meteor and Comet maybe being too flippy for your midrange style. I use a FLX Buzzz 175 and a ESP Meteor 178 for my control game, cuz Discraft mids are simply great.

Yes, indeed.
Roc, Buzz, and one of my favorites, a DX Cobra.
Buy used ones (their cheaper), find what you like, and let'em rip!

Buzz, Cobra, or Coyote are the best for straight midranges. My brother uses a DX Coyote and its straight as an arrow.

I find that the Buzzz and Coyote compliment each other very well...the Coyote being slightly understable and the buzzz being slightly over....

Wait until next Monday the 19th. Innova's new disc the MAKO will hit the stores. It's supposed to be the straightest disc they've ever made.

178g Buzzz will be a good choice if you're already throwing a Drone.
Heavier weights are less affected by wind in general.

i agree, but i'll also state the buzz is great in the wind, i have a 166 z buzz thats still pretty stable in any wind, doesnt dance up and down much, not compared to most others

as long as your not lookin for a hyzerflip mid, the buzz is one of the better mids i've ever thrown
