I love throwing discs for practice in open fields and back yards. My dog also likes to accompany me and will pick up the disc afterwards on the ground to retrieve it back to me. I am worried that one of my drivers could accidentally hit my dog running after them. Is there a disc that has the...

I am looking for a shallow putter that is good to throw at short range. I have an Innova Aviar and Dart, but I do not like the depth or bubbliness of those. I looked online at flat topped Aviar3s and XTs, but they seem designed more for driving. What shallow putters would you recommend?

I used to use the Mako3, but recently I have been using the Stingray. The Stingray is a great disc, but I’m looking for something slightly more stable. I actually have a Wombat3 and that does sound like a good suggestion, except I don’t like the vtech ridge on the rim. I will have to look into...

What are the fight specs for a proxy?

The site had me pick a brand, but I am open to anything. What are the flight specs for a Comet?

I’m looking for a midrange/putter that falls between a Mako3 Disc (5/5/0/0) and a Stingray Disc (4/5/-3/1)? The Mako3 fades too early when powered down and the Stingray turns and wanders slightly too much right. Trying to find a perfect solution. I am wondering about a Dart (3/4/0/0) or...

I am wondering what are the best arm exercises for improving your throw. Which exercises help give you distance? Have any good YouTube videos that you use for training. Thanks!

Tern was my previous sidearm disc. I could handle the speed. I would like something slightly more stable with the same rim width or thicker. Both the Shryke and Groove seem like a nice step up, but I don’t know which one.

I was comparing these discs on the shelf and was trying to decide which to get. They have the same stats 13/6/-2/2. The biggest difference was the shape of the rim. I power grip the rim like a pencil for throwing front hand. The writing bump on my finger actually fits nicely on the Groove’s...

I don’t buy a lot of discs. I normally throw backhand with a Discmania FD. I have laser straight control with the FD backhand. I just discovered throwing front hand and am getting more distance (but less control) with the Tern. I’m not really needing control though, just distance. I don’t...

I am currently using a Champion Tern for throwing sidearm. I am trying find a better disc. Sometimes it rolls on me or doesn’t fade much. What is your “go-to” disc for throwing sidearm? I am really hoping to perfect my throw this year.

I want to thank everyone and Slowplastic for your help. After playing a few weeks and throwing the Champin Tern, DGA Sail, Gstar Leopard3 and G-Line FD side-by-side, I've concluded the Discmania G-Line FD Jackal is the BEST!!!! I should add some caveats: My champion plastic Tern is...

I have almost lost 33 lbs and I was going to reward myself with an $80 boardgame: Viticulture with Tuscany Expansion. But now I am discovering all these discs! I'm thinking of buying plastic instead. I have bad shoulder pain from throwing and typically get lighter weights to make things...

Thank you for your insight Slowplastic. Great responses. I will ponder this further. Excited to try one of these!

I am OCD about data and do not want to waste money on this amazing disc I am about to purchase. I notice a slight contradiction in your plastic suggestion. If Gstar is best for Leo's, why not go G-Line for FD? I do want a slightly understable disc and I am worried the FD might be too stable...
