What is one "unpopular" disc that you click with more than it seems others do? Also, one "popular" disc that you just never clicked with?
 
Click: Warrior (though it seems to be coming more into favor in recent months)

Don't Click: Aviars: DX plastic always felt terrible compared to Gateway in my neck of the woods. KC's were too deep and also didn't seem to be as responsive as Wizards.
 
I know popularity of a disc means next to nothing but I think it's interesting to talk about the outliers. For me, I always loved throwing mambas. They're just fun to throw and I bagged one for about two years. I have a few friends who swear by grooves as a 200' sidearm approach disc. Just seems weird to me.

As for a disc I don't click with, the buzzz. Idk what it is but I could never get a buzzz to do what I want. Clean releases were far and few between for me and just was not as reliable as other mids for me.
 
Click: Innova Wedge. Works awesome for RHBH shots inside 250' that ABSOLUTELY have to go right.

Don't click: Aviar/Challenger/Wizard/other clones. The deepness of the disc doesn't work well with my smallish hands.
 
Shocked to see a lot of people saying they're not buzzz fans right off the bat.
 
Click: Venom - a rare Utility Driver from Discraft that was nice and beefy with very low glide and a super comfortable rim.

Don't Click: any Roc, ever. Just never liked them, always went with a Buzzz or some other Buzzz like midrange.
 
Click: Prodigy M5. Great out of the box turnover option, and the only Prodigy I throw.

Don't Click: Wizard. Too deep, don't like.
 
Click-DGA Squall. I have it in the SP Sparkle plastic and it is the most responsive disc I've ever thrown. Backhand or sidearm it is a true and pure flier.


Didn't Click- Leopard. Tried and tried, I used different plastics and weights but could never mesh with it no matter how much I wanted to.
 
Click: Cyclone Not that other people haven't, but I started with this disc and have had at least one in my bag for 14 years. Love it!

Don't click: Leopards. Many friends have thrown these for a long time, but I was never able to pin one down. Always turned over far too much, even with some tweaking.
 
Don't click: buzzz. Hate that disc. If it works for you rock on but it always felt like garbage in my hand.

I don't think anything I've ever liked has been very weird or obscure.
 
Clicked: Wolf - good roller, half decent flippy mid
Didn't: Challenger - felt awful in hand, couldn't stand it
