I recently had a discussion/debate with a few guys while waiting to tee off... The premise of the discussion was simply... Do the specialty run discs really make a difference?
It was interesting i got 5 different answers and contrasting views.
- "They can, but it's the thrower not the disc."
- "Absolutely, when you figure out <when> you need them they make a huge difference.
- "No, i dont like to rely on a disc i might not find again."
- "absolutely, obviously you have tried a <X> disc" <- (CE Eagle)
- Sometimes, but is it worth the hassle?
My Answer
- "Absolutely, but not all of them. But when you find one that is good, it does make a clear difference.

My Analysis (reviews of disc runs)
Things i would recommend:
Champion Roc
Champion Glow Gazelle
Champion Glow Firebird (if you can handle it)
[Champion] Teerex-X (a more overstable Wraith....moved up to Destroyer, never looked back)
Champion XD (Not sure it really is anything more than a more durable version)
Champion Gator (did not make much of a difference)
Champion (gummy) Rhyno (not much of a difference - mine, not very floppy)
Cryztal Buzzz (Nice, but not sure it was worth the hassle and made enough of a difference)
(Wood) Aviar - (No difference, other than the Disc smelled like wood. - Yes i smelled it,)
