[Other] Discs that will never turn

[DiscinFiend]

Hyzerbomb Frontline Sabot aka a pop top Star Max. I have three of them and they all fade hard. I played a tournament with 30+ mph wind gusts, no turn whatsoever.

 

[konza_kid]

I would say the machete, never even got the thing past flat. Can't remember the video, but if I remember correctly McBeth called them uselessly overstable.

 

[Casey 1988]

For my rubber arm, the answer is most of them.

I was thinking that is the same for me, but to fight even the oops slight griplock ot OAT, that is what I was thinking.

 

[Um...]

This one was on a tee... DGCR be slippin'

I don't know man, Nikko turned one over on a FH approach at Idlewild (I believe).

I think you can even hear him say, "come on, that's a Stiletto."

I remember that.

 

[Moose33]

With enough wind I've turned my stiletto, Rask and Warhorse are better in wind imo.

Aerobie Epic.

Aerobie Epic.

Only if you tune it before every throw.

The one I have will almost hyzer onto it's back. I've never tuned it.

Hmmmm....pretty dependent on how much speed is put on the disc.

I have seen some pretty dang beat in discs....they all will start to turn at some point.

You can turn anything, the question is how much and how soon will it come back.

I am going to go with a Ram.

He's got a point. Some of the elite power players can probably turn anything.
And it you beat any disc enough, eventually it's turn.

But for most of us, there are discs that we'll never really get to turn... at least at their intended speed. Sure, we can throw them on a hard annie release to carve out a nice flex line... but barring some crazy headwind, there are molds that just won't turn for most players. First disc that popped in my mind was the Drone.

Have you seen Drew Gibson try to turn a Stego? I beg to differ.

Stego is an odd animal. I have one that is so thrashed that "round" doesn't exactly describe it anymore. You can force it over and it will hold the line for a long time, but I don't think even in its battered state that anyone could turn it over with power alone.

 

[Casey 1988]

Did anyone say a Sinus?

That video is hilarious. Drew is like Superman with infinite strength ... can only throw a Stego 240'. I wish he would have thrown it again after beating it into the wall.

 

[oldmandiscer]

I think the Stego pissed him off making him feel like a Rec player so he threw it against the wall ten times.

 

[GoatPaco]

You won't find them because they're stupid and useless but the most overstable disc I have ever thrown was a Star Monster-X.

It is both significantly faster and shorter than a FAF Firebird

Z-xtreme

OK so per the 6 pages now there are a lot of options for that absurdly OS option that won't turn when thrown on an airshot, and furthermore may border on "useless OS" where you might as well throw something with a little glide for some extra skip etc.

I wonder though, what is the best overall option for pulling off relatively useful pocket OS trick shots? For example, I prefer to bag a very mellow Firebird for air shots, and they offer more than enough stability for me on a calm day. However, I find that a "mellow" firebird does not perform nearly as well or predictably as for example a FAF firebird on trick shots - forehand rollers, low skips, and particularly thumbers and grenades (1 or 2 per round for any of the above if that). So far I have found the Justice to be pretty similar to a FAF firebird in stability, just a little less likely to get away from you on upshots to dicey greens.

Favorite useful absurdly OS option?

There are more good ones in that category. My favorites are;

Putters; Harp, Zone, Chui
Mids; Gila, Justice
Fairways; Flare, FAF Firebird, Ahti
Distance Driver; Warhorse, Rask, Enforcer
