Have any of you bought or started throwing a disc on whim because a friend or someone else recommended it to you and were shocked or surprised at how well it worked for you?
A few weeks back, I was on the course with some of the locals and I happened to mention that I wished I had an overstable disc in between a Roc and Firebired. Somebody mentioned a Whippet, but I told them I already tried the KC Pro Whippet and I hated it. They said I should really try a Champion Whippet because it performed much better.
Later that night, I went online and found a Glow Champion Whippet-X and added that to some other new discs I was picking up. I got the order a few days later and started throwing it in an open field. I liked it much better than the KC Pro Whippet.
I liked it even better when I got out to the course. In the five rounds I have played with it so far, I have had several ace runs with it. I have hit dead center of the chains only to watch it spit out, I have hit the side of the basket twice, hit pole once and three very close skip-by's. I have a very strong feeling this will be my first ace disc. Needless to say, this disc has earned a permanent spot in my bag already.
Anyone else have a similar "surprise" with a disc based on a passing recommendation?
