Straight shot - 20 foot window - 200 feet - which disc?

[Dest]

Often times I feel like just being able to lay up just a perfectly straight 200 foot shot or a very slim hyzer coming back to the original straight line would really improve my scores. I am not very good but I think being able to do this would be a huge confidence boost on a lot of holes where I end up smacking trees and taking a +1.

I could do this for a comet for a while but my release is too inconsistent since I only play once a week if I am lucky.

Any ideas?

That's a Yeti shot for me, me thinks.

Axis.

 

[Mr. America]

Putter, well broken in KC Pro Aviar at the moment.

A 20ft window on a 200ft shot falls into my definition of a wide open shot.

 

[Miamisms]

Core shot

 

[MattMan]

ION. Maybe an Axis if it's a low ceiling with some bushes behind the basket to catch a flyby, just in case.

 

[fliphyzer]

I use a Pro D Challenger for this, or Finesse a meteor/buzzz depending on wind

 

[curveball4]

Only playing once a week is tough, I know since I only get to play weekends until the time changes back. I don't think any disc will be magical. You admit your release is off, I think you just need more practice

 

[FierceTable]

If you're looking for things to try, a thumber can be a ridiculously straight shot (at least with a 20' fairway it is).

a putter

More practice is obviously the only way to acquire this skill. Once you get the execution down though, an understable or neutral putter on a little hyzer is a good play. My beat DX Aviar will flip past flat and finish right on 200'+ shots, and I've got a few KC Pros beaten in to various stages that are more stable/overstable.

 

[ohtobediscing]

Skills definitely are the key. I've used a Kite for the same shot, but I agree with most that a nice stable putter[for me, Ryhno or Dart] would do the trick. It fits the "discing down" ethic too, which is how to fine-tune your skills.

 

[bee_ryce]

seasoned wizard, or seasoned buzzz depending on the ceiling

 

[jlh900]

yea ion for now when i get my anode that will prob be what i use

You already said the key thing yourself.

You need to practice more. No disc will make you more consistent and accurate, you need to throw better.

 

[mashnut]

Your comet or a neutralish putter are going to be your best bets for a shot where you want it to go straight without too much fade.

 

[Hagström]

Beat putter or FH a Buzzz

 

[drickanderson]

You described hole 8 on our lunch-time course with the exception being a 10' gap instead of 20'. I have a beat pro d zone that I put on a very slight anny for this shot.

 

[jtreadwell]

Really, a comet is perfect for that shot and it's just a practice issue, which you are already aware of. I'm not sure of your situation, but try and find a field or open area that's on your usual travel route and try and make an extra 30 minutes a few times a week to stop there and just practice with your comet. A little extra practice goes a long way and you'll be even more excited to hit the course every week.
