Just wondering what everyone's favorites are and why?
So Harp, Tactic, Suspect, etc, what is your go to Approach that meets the requirements I'm looking for? Thanks
I have spent the most time throwing Pigs prior to my Envy marriage, now I'm monogamous. In my wild youth I also had extended dalliances with Zone, Banger GT, A3, Harp, Tactic, Suspect, Caiman, Dart, and Berg.
I'll share my thoughts on each for posterity--Superwook you seem like you are narrowing in on exactly what you need and I'll circle back to that.
Envy - maybe the best balance of stability, can really visualize and rely on the mind-map of the disc's flight--lack of overstability forces improvements in touch that will show up later--similar to the Barsby comment earlier. I find the Envy challenging to master on FH, I usually just throw my Hex (or Firebird or Pyro if I need big OS).
Pig - along with Zone and Caiman, the best at hyzer and steeper lines. Flat approaches it can be a cheat code for distance. Anny lines it has that inexorable stability so you can really shape some neat lines. I see Pig and Zone as relatively interchangeable in terms of flight, but the feel is different. I would have thrown a Zone if I started there, but I happened upon Caiman first (Zone equivalent). Zone feels the best of these three, but Pig you get used to I guess and the weirdness has its own comfort. FH Beast-mode disc.
Suspect, A3, Tactic, Harp - step down in sheer OS, my favorite among these was my 750 A3. All of these are fantastic on FH and BH, which is a huge plus. A3 was best utility disc in terms of escape shots, and that 750 plastic is great. Tactic has such a beautiful rate of fade, it's pretty close to an Envy in terms of how your mind can visualize how it will fly (but more stable ofc). I like the feel of the Suspect in the hand maybe the most, I love the shallow.
Disc I wish I'd hooked up with prior to marriage: Hawg. Just, well, you know. Hawg_driver. :\
So after playing with these two Tactics over the last month or more, I've come to realize a few things.
I'd LOVE to get this Tactic in a premium C like plastic (Champ, C-line, Neo, Lux, whatever), as it would have a super clean release.
I have a Lux Tactic from the December mystery box in great shape, 9/10 or 9.5/10, maybe we can work out a swap or something, pm me if interested.
