This is my 1st year playing the game and after a handful of rounds playing with old discs given to me by a generous friend I went out and bought some new Innova DX discs. I've had fairly good success with everything I bought except for the two midranges which I have yet to get comfortable with.
Cobra, 168 g
Spider, 150 g
The Cobra seems to go fairly straight, but flies low and dives quick. It's hard for me to get a comfortable reliable distance with this disc.
The Spider flies well and I can judge distance much better, but it always seems to fade way right at the end of the throw (I am a left handed back hand thrower by the way).
Over the past few weeks I've put both discs away and have been using an old Roc, 171g that was one of the discs originally given to me. I absolutely adore this disc and can throw it straighter than any other disc in my bag, it has become my exclusive midrange.
I'm glad to have found confidence and reliability with the old Roc, but I still want to be able to pull out the Cobra and Spider when needed.
Any tricks to throwing each of these, or could they be used for other types of shots?
I've used the Cobra with good success in throwing around trees and other obstacles as it seems to hold a nice angle over a decent distance.
I'm thinking of just going out one night with nothing but the Cobra and Spider and playing a round using only these discs to hopefully get comfortable.
