favorite 'tweener' discs?

[agent_peebody]

i throw the River religiously. hyzer flips, low ceilings, turnovers...i can't deny it's crazy glide.

I think of a Cyclone as a longer Roc. Feels the same and fly's the same but goes farther easier but not as long as a TeeBird.

I personally like the ABC Money Putter. It's right between a putter and a mid for me. The Stalker is also a personal favorite

Starfire is definitely a tweener, fairway characteristics but faster, not super fast though. PD is similar.

Boy, now I say, speed 9 is not a tweener disc unless its relative to your bag overlap.

I think my favorite tweener disc would have to be my ESP zone. It is longer than my Wizards off the tee because it is stable enough to throw harder but shorter than a mid. I really use it more like a mid/utility disc when I need a hard fade about 200' either fh or bh. It is a really useful disc especially on wooded courses.

In some ways the buzzz fills as a tweener disc for me. I'll use it occasionally to 320' but will also use it if the situation is right under 100'. It really fills a ton of roles for me. From short mid to fairway I feel comfortable using it.

Agreed/ Same here. My FLX Buzzz is perfectly stable with just a bit of fade, so I can turn it over, hyzer it, throw it dead straight, or hyzer flip 100% for a 350' bomb. :thmbup:

The only other tweener in my bag is probably the Demon. I've started using a lot since I got it. It's supposed to be a mid, but the rim is much more like a fairway driver. I'll use it for skip shots, get out of trouble shots, spike hyzers, turnovers that come back, and shots that I throw as hard as I can that won't turnover on me but will still go a long way.

Sinus by Lat64. Its a beefy overstable putter, and I use it for shots that I don't feel comfortable with either my Rocs or my Wizards. Its a great approach disc.

can you add anything to the thread other than snark and "boy, i say, boy"s?

honest question.

Nebula I guess, small diameter, driver-ish mid.

Gremlin - GM - Greater Midrange

 

[BrotherDave]

I'm always confused by the Gremlin's legality?

 

[captain jack]

I cant stand large diameter discs, they all feel like lids in my hand. Rocs and Buzzz's are worthless to me.
I use an XD for touch and shorter approaches, then switch to a Gazelle if I want something a little longer, and skip the traditional "midrange disc" category all together.

I can play one disc rounds with a Gazelle and easily keep up with the Roc/Buzzz guys.

The XD probably has a better shot range than any other disc, from putts to drives on nearly any line you want, its a truly versitile disc.

Cyclone, cyclone, cyclone

Please expound.

How similar is an XD to a Classic Roc? And why does it sound right to say an XD instead of a XD?

classic roc (the new one) is a beaded XD

^ I think bro d is refering to that fact that the Gremlin was approved by the PDGA as an Innova mold but after it was brought out of retirement under the Discmania banner it was never resubmitted.

I was trying to contribute to the topic of the thread. Let's leave your assumptions about my disc selection and technique out of it.
