If you can drive over 400', you ought to be at a skill level where you know what kind of shapes you can get out of a good drive and knowing your plastic. So watch your drives with your control driver and then with your distance driver and compare them. Are they shaping the same line? Consider that Ken Climo has 4 Aviars, 4 Rocs, 4 Teebirds, and 4 Wraiths in his bag. All of those discs have similar flight paths, with the difference being speed: speed 2, speed 4, speed 7, and speed 11.
Distance drivers are less consistent and can be squirrely as a result, that's why better players disc down. But if you are throwing mids 350' plus, and get an extra 50' out of control drivers, and another 50' out of max distance, then that sounds about right. But I would expect a greater variance between throws from your distance driver. You could throw 10 putters and some of them would land on top of each other. Not likely with distance drivers, they are going to be in grouping with a 30-40' diameter. So your distance drives could end up short because of inconsistency.
