I'm thinking with good form, you could make any disc fly low, but aren't some discs better than others at this?

I guess the Eagle L has worked well for me, as well as a destroyer, but I'm looking for something with more distance than the Eagle and less fade/skip than the destroyer.
 
I use a Z Avenger SS that works great for these type of shots. I recently added a Champ TL that seems to fly pretty similar but the fade at the end reminds me of a Wraith/Destroyer.
 
I really like my Leopard and TD's for these type of shots.

Both fly the same,but the TD's are faster.
 
I have a flat star destroyer that has a nice stability at the moment for this shot because it usually turns just enough that it doesn't skip too far left if I throw it a little low (which is my tendency in low ceiling tunnel shots, which I throw often).
 
I throw a Gold Line Riot for shots I wanna keep low on tight lines. Less fade than a destroyer and as it gets beat in develops a very smooth turn. Only downside is the inner rim is very slanted like plus molds.

orion long fade fits this description for me.
 
sw

i hyzer flip my sidewinder

really? it consistently stays low when you want it to?

I feel like mine likes to raise up even when hyzer flipped.
I've definitely thrown sw's on a low line before, but it seems inconsistent to me.

Riot is good, but I actually like the rim and it is supposed to give more control...
 
I use the opto fury for this now
Pretty straight, small slide to the right, then very little fade
 
I use my volt for this. Very reliable forward fade and doesn't take much power to get great distance

def. mine is beat. i throw it at about 80% power and the spin from the disc gives it the distance and keeps it straight. i have a tunnel hole at my local course. probably 10-15 20ish feet up and your hitting overhanging trees. i once hit the basket with my sw. parked quite a few more times. its about 250 feet hole.
 
leopard / mako3 / M4 are my tunnel shot discs. Anything faster than those just have either too much left-right/right-left or too much skip. For me, those discs all go dead straight when thrown through a tunnel. They also all land flat for me, for little to no skipping. Also I get the straight flat flight with limited power required, so my accuracy is better for the tunnel portion of the shot.
 
C-Pd that I put back in the bag does well under the trees. I can rip on it flat and it stays perfectly straight until a nice heavy fade dump at the end. Good on low lines for me because it stays at the height I put it on. Never climbs on me and never bottoms out either just hits the gap, little skip, and lays down.
 
Best I've ever had was a flat ESP Flash...Right now my Swords and P Volts do a good job.

In general I think flatter discs are better as they do not lift unpredictably. It's also better if you have some power to pound a line drive rather than trying to use glide. Stronger players have a large advantage here.
