    [Putters] What do you use for driving putters?

    DGA Breaker Love the low profile and over stable flight. I can get 220 to 280 on a clean straight line or 200 to 240 on swing hyzer. Going into the off season I may bag a Zone for those windier days.

    [Other] Your favorite disc(s) that you DON'T bag

    Z Xtreme ESP Impact Z Crush Roach... ...There are enough great discs outside of my standards that Discraft makes that I could fill an entire back up bag and hit the course with.

    [Recommend] Glidiest, Straightest, Speed 10ish Disc?

    That is a low cieling! I've read a lot about hyzer flipping understable drivers on this thread. Let me suggest an alternative throw: flat to slight anhyzer with a medium stability fairway driver. I personally use a worn in Z Pred (I do have lots of power though). Perhaps a Big Z Undertaker in...

    [Recommend] My endless quest for a driving putter

    Glad you found a disc to your liking. Sparkle Breaker would have been my suggestion. My favorite driving putter. Reliable and easy to manage.

    Measuring Drive Speed

    While I'd be curious to see the sample data from measuring a bunch of pro arm speeds it wouldn't be much help to anyone trying to learn about the relationship between speed and distance. There are too many other variables that determine why a disc flies as far as it does. Suffice to say higher...

    [Help] i need a long straight driver that will turn at the end.

    ESP Meteor released with 5 - 10 degrees of hyzer on a low line drive will gradually stand up to flat and go straight for 75% of the flight and slowly drift to the right at the end. Depending on the distance that is required, 200 to 300 should be relatively obtainable with this disc.

    Nikko 360 during competitive rounds

    I wrote an article about the 360 for the Discgolfer mag a few years back. It is the edition with Jesper on the cover. If you ever find a copy it is near the back of the mag.

    Nikko 360 during competitive rounds

    That tourney at Idlewild was a blast. Those rounds were LONG, like 5+ hours each. Avery was not in the right mindset and got caught in his own head I think. He told me the story of how he deuced 2 and I believe it, the hole is set up for that shot but it is super risky. That long deuce on hole...

    [Recommend] Overstable Fairway Drivers

    Try researching a Z or Ti Drone. I use it for all of my forehands from 150 to 275. Perhaps my favorite disc...

    [Discraft] CRANK!

    I have to say - I am really impressed with the Z Crank. The First Run batch that I have are so much more useful to me on the course compared to a Nuke. I am hitting 350 - 400 with my forehand again, without hurting my shoulder / elbow. On backhand throws I love the gentle / gradual turn with...

    [DGA] DGA's new disc, the Torrent.

    Thanks Menacewarf! I'll consider a Q & A thread - the only issue I have is how distance related topics tend to bring out the worst of the message board distance crowd. Most threads degrade into a pissing match about who can throw their putter the farthest. Has anyone got a Torrent profile pic...

    [DGA] DGA's new disc, the Torrent.

    So far DiscLovin has put up my two favorite posts on this thread: "DGA's plastic is way better than Discraft's" and "I'm not terribly powerful...I was throwing these 500 - 550 consistently" Not to sound like a jerk...but really? Good laugh, reminds me why I don't visit a lot of message...

    [Discraft] Discraft Reaper

    I love the Reaper! Or is it fear the Reaper? I have a stack of Z that I have on reserve. I may need to paw through them and find the stable ones :)

    What is your HOLY GRAIL disc?

    early run Pink Z Force with lots of dome. Greatest distance driver for the power player ever? Yes.
