I use Monarchs, and for shorter distances RoadRunners. I threw my favorite RoadRunner into a creek today and lost it :-( I tried using Sidewinders, but couldn't get them to turn very much. Where as I can get the Monarch and the RoadRunner to really turn.
For mid-range I use Cobras.
I believe that for a disc to hold a straight-line (against the natural fade) it needs to have a lot of spin on it. And that for a disc to hold an anhyzer line, it needs even more spin. Understable plastic reduces the amount of spin needed. And, I believe that the weight of the disc is directly proportional to the amount of spin needed for the disc to create loft underneath it.
All that is to say that to throw an anhyzer shot, that's breaking against the fade, you want an understable disc that's low enough in weight to match the amount of spin you put on the disc. I use to buy all my discs at 175gs. That seemed to be what everyone else was buying. But I eventually figured out that I don't put enough snap/spin on the disc for this weight--I'm not generating the spin necessary to create the lift for a 175g disc.
So I switched to lighter weight discs, and presto, I started playing better. At first I was puzzled by all this, because honestly if I close my eyes I cannot tell the difference between 165g and 170g usually. I've had people tell me they can tell, then I put the discs in their hands and they get it wrong about 50% of the time. (I'm not looking to start a fight here--just saying my experience.) So it isn't like I need the lower weights because I'm not strong enough (I'm a 6'4" male).
I also didn't think the weight had that much to do with the effect of the wind. I'm sure it has some, but that didn't account for it. So I finally did some experimentation and I think that the weight is really the determining factor of how much spin you need. And the more I worked on this theory (maybe it is obvious to everyone else) the more I believe it to be correct.
So if you're trying to throw Anhyzer, try going even lower in your disc weights. And if you want to throw farther, try going lower in your disc weights as well, to get more spin, and therefore more lift, and less desire to fade.
Of course I'm not a Ph.D. in physics, so I could be completely wrong on all that.
