[Drivers] How many fairway/control drivers do you use?

[pfeif313]

I carry 4 to 5 at times
From Over to Understable
Villain
Striker
2 Saints 1 Opto 1 GL
Underworld / Leopard - still deciding between the two

 

[DiscinFiend]

3 molds if you're including firebirds. 2 otherwise.

Flattop Glow Firebird - Utility disc, sharp hyzers and skips
Domey Champ Firebird - Headwind drives

Brinster Bird - distance drives that I need to go straight and finish left
Champ Teebird - distance drives that go dead straight with a slight finish left
Beat Champ teebird - hyzer flips / turnovers
Champ leopard - more stable than the beat champ teebird, tunnel and low ceiling shots

:thmbup: Same exact setup as me

 

[captain jack]

I didnt realize they count, but then 7 for me, because I also have a heavy Star Firebird and a light Z Flick in the bag. :doh:

 

[b-mart]

Banshee (OS), Gazelle (S), Saint (S), Leopard or Avenger SS (US). Hardly ever throw the Saint because of overlap, but it still gets a spot in the bag because I like hauling excess weight through the woods.

 

[DanJon]

Roadrunner, two firebirds, 2-3 eagles, 2-3 leopards.

I only throw destroyers when the hole is 400'+.

 

[Bustecap]

1-3 rivers, 2-3 eagles, n volt
-testing an amp and leopard but i dont think they got what it takes to beat out the rivers from my bag
-going to be trying out a p volt and champ RR later this month

 

[whentherainscome]

that's a wide range of speed, pretty much counts my fairway and "distance" drivers.
Teebird / Leopard
Firebird / OLF / Roadrunner

So 5 in that range, but also 5 total driver molds.

 

[thePiRaTE]

3

Shock (OS utility, headwind driver)/Striker (HSS, straight D)/Amp (Long annys/S shots).

I've trialed an N Volt, *Teebird, Ch TL and C-FD as well, but I like the Striker best thus far as my stable fairway.

 

[depster]

2 molds leopard and firebird. Firebird is more of a utility thing(OH, FH, super headwind on 325' and less holes) I got 2 in the bag..the leopard is my go to disc though I got 5 in the bag right now, 3 in pro from roller status to brand new, and 2 in Champ for more stability when I'm sure the new Pro will flip. I can also FH roll the the freshest of the champ leopards.

 

[McJesus]

I Carry 7 but only 4 molds. I carry 2 N volts, one that will turn ever so much if I crank on it, and one that doesn't turn at all thrown flat. I also carry a P volt for volt lines into a headwind. Then I have two shocks, one for backhand and one for thumbing. Next is a 9X KC Teebird that I use for hyzerflip to flat and also "Riverish" turnover lines. Lastly, I have a Pro Firebird but I hardly throw it as it's just standard OOP Pro plastic and flies more like an orc that a Firebird.

 

[laramiecarlson]

I'm currently at 8-ish.
I've capped my disc speed to work on form/accuracy
4/5 Rivers
-Light GL (Straight-flippy)
-Heavy GL (Beat flippy)
-161 Opto (Fliptastic, might boot the light GL out.)
-164 Opto (Good HSS, will flip sometimes)
-172 Opto (Great HSS, doesn't flip too often for me yet)

Stag incoming- Looking to replace the volts with something slower

N Volt
P Volt

N Shock- (Headwind hyzer disc)

Trident (Used more as a mid/OH utility disc)

 

[thisislorenb]

1 E* Leo
1 beat *tb
1 New *tb
1 *fb

i don't count my roadrunner viking or valk i carry cuz they r my long drivers

 

[timj5304]

I Have in order of stability 10x kc pro cheetah for 90 degree hyzer flips and rollers up to 425ft, opto river, jk pro valkyrie and z xtreme. I had a couple others like predator and talon but were not using them. I put a stable crush in my bag and get my buzzz out as far as alot of the fairways so mostly my fairways are understable

 

[hendryxdisc]

I only carry 3; old reliable 11x champ eagle, fresh 12x champ eagle, beat 12x champ eagle. They cover almost every line I need and I love that the feel in the hand is always the same.

 

[RUSSELL]

z predator
ar zombee
x stratus

 

[GripEnemy]

Children children children...

Firebirds, PDs, Valks, etc are not Fairway Drivers. Get over it.

I technically voted 5+ since you threw speed 9 stuff into the fairway category. words.

words.

OP also said control drivers.

No, but they still count for poll purposes!

You're OP! You included control drivers in the discussion..lol.

 

[Lurp Nuts]

depends on the criteria, so i'll just throw em all out there:

175g 11x Firebird (yall know what i'm talkin about)
175g S-PD (freshish)
175g S-PD (seriously beat up. first pd right here)
175g P-PD (seasoned turning or hyzerfliper)
175g S-FD (freshish)
168g S-FD (beaten in and super flippy, great for tight standstills)

i also have a 175g C-FD that makes some appearances, but overlaps with my fresh PD quite a bit, just shorter. for that shot i'll just power down my beaten in PD.

 

[walde]

To the OP: I hope the Air Stag will work out for you so you wouldn't have to get another mold. I personally prefer having fewer molds to deal with. However if it doesn't, I would suggest a lighter champ/star Leopard or a heavier River. These seem to be popular suggestions though but they're really good at what they do.

I carry 3 molds in this category

Teebirds
Leopards
Firebird(s)

I'm pretty new to Teebirds. My first one was an Echo Star, which was really nice. I lost it after a few weeks of use. Bought a Star TB and it's more stable, I have yet to beat it in. I also have a Brinster that I carry sometimes, and a Glow champ which is pretty close to my Star stabilitywise.
I use my Teebirds to straight with fade, anhysers that flex out, hysers... works well in to a headwind too.

I really like a flippy fairway driver. I have a Pro Leo that is pretty flippy, I use it for tight fairways (hyserflip) or when I need a turnover shot. I have a newish Pro that is pretty straight but has a bit of turn to it if thrown hard. I also have a Champ that is just really straight. Not a lot of turn to it.

And lastly Firebirds, though I don't count it as a fairway because of its speed. I use then for tight hysers, headwinds, FH rollers, skips, flex shots, spikes...
I usually carry a flatish Champ that goes straight for a while before fading and a new flat 12x for mean OS stuff.
I'm actually switching between Banshees and Firebirds but at the moment I'm having Firebirds in my bag

 

[AndyJB]

5 if you count the TL as seperate from the Teebird. If not, then 4.

But Im thinking about ditching the Shocks. Lots of overlap there.
