Yeah, they're just that much more difficult to throw. What the OP is finding is pretty common. What the OP's problem may be will require a lot more information to debug. How far are all the discs going, what discs are they, what lines are all of them flying on, ect.?

If you're happy with how the rest of your discs fly then trying to get your distance drivers to fly better is probably worth while, just as long as it doesn't screw up your throw for your other discs.

I had this same problem a couple years ago. I was throwing all my putters, mids, and fairways 99% of the time, so I got really uncomfortable with my Destroyers. It was a combination of comfort with the wider rim, and nose issues. I started incorporating them more into my practice rounds by powering down on my less stable ones. After a few months the comfort returned and I was good to go.

Honestly it's hard to find a purpose for the distance drivers. Only certain people get get the disc speed required for anything over a speed 9. My fastest disc is a surge and I use it sparingly. My go to fairway is a saint or a river atm and on a good day I push 335-350' with that. Until I'm pushing a saint 400+ I see no reason to pick up anything faster which will never reach the 400 I'm after unless I play every day.

my home course is a long course so basically all i need to throw now is drivers, when i first started i threw mids and fairways, but eventually your gonna need to throw drivers (its like playin ball golf with only irons) your gonna have to learn to throw drivers so mix in some practice throws with drivers.

Double down on the Hammer's advice. Just start throwing the big boys at 80% (or less), focusing on smooth. Try keeping the height about 10' or so.

Talk to your playing partners and ask if they'd mind if you throw a second drive. If it's OK, rip a speed nine for competition, then a smooth speed 12/13 for practice.

Fast drivers are useful for far more that just trying to throw long shots. They excel at getting distance under low ceilings with minimal effort. Overstable wide rim drivers are the best for big skip shots.

I fixed the issue. I wasn't doing a full pullback, thus losing a lot of inertia for drivers. It's okay with the others because they don't need all the energy.
