[Question] Infinite Mystery Box - How did I do?

Very new player, so I decided to get a mystery box from infinite discs, mainly to increase the amount of discs I had to practice with. Also with the hope to add 1 or 2 to actually use on the course. I thought I knew most discs - until I opened this box and didn't know what anything was.

Mainly just looking for some feedback on these discs by anyone who has used them before, or knows anything about them. For a quick overview of my distances so far - I drive for around 330-350 regardless if I'm using teebird, teedevil, or the boss. Mid ranges/putters up to ~250'

Also - I received an "F2 factory second" from innova, how do you identify what it actually is?

Here is a list along with a picture

CrossLap - Credo
Gateway - Magic
Salient - Antidote
Discraft - Ti comet
Discraft - Mantis
Innova - F2 ?????
UB Hand Candy



Thanks in advance for the feedback!
 
If you tell us the letters near the weight on the f2 we can tell you which mold it is.
 
The UB disc is a Monstrum. Pretty overstable. I threw one and it was a meathook for me, but I have a weak arm.
The Salient Antidote is an understable mid. Not too bad of a disc in my opinion
The Innova F2 looks to be an Orc, based on what looks like the initial "O" on the bottom
Credo is an overstable putter. Haven't tried one.

Some decent discs to try out or have trade bait for <$11/disc. Not a bad deal.
 
I like all of these discs, but I wish they had given you more diversity. The Monstrum/Orc are pretty close as are the Antidote and Comet. I find the Orc and Antidote to be more user friendly and easier to dial in, but the Comet gets a ton of love on here(though I've never seen one on a course unless you count MJ).

Magic is a great putter very straight and easy to use, and personally I really like the Credo. It very good to putt with in wind or any hyzer type approach.

Mantis is okay, little touchy for my taste.

Basically it looks like they gave you a bunch of slow movers tags are actually pretty good discs at a good price. Probably will work well for you.

Good luck with them!

And not that it's worth anything but I'm pretty sure that Antidote is the fist run. You probably couldn't resell it but it's a good disc.
 
Your F2 looks to be a Champion Orc, from the letter "O" by the weight near the center.

Magic should be a good putter.
 
Comet and Mantis should go straight into your bag!

Gateway makes some of the best putters around and the Magic is no exception. High glide, no bead, very blunt rim, which all combine to give long, soft flights and an easy release out of the hand. I'm not sure how the lightweight will fly compared to the max weight I have, but I am a fan of this disc.

I haven't thrown the Salient, UB, or Crosslap (actually, anything from those brands) but the Innova Factory Second is definitely an Orc, which, will be a bit overstable and have lower glide than the Mantis. I would guess the Mantis would cover the Orc's duties pretty well. It's a bit more understable and slightly slower, but has much better glide and should be more controllable for a beginner.

Looks like a good haul! :thmbup:

Cheers!
 
The Discraft duo are the only two good discs for a beginner in that box. UB is out of business due to shady dealings, and Salient seems to be headed that way quickly. The Magic is a decent putter, but it's big brother the Wizard is more popular for a reason. The Orc will be worth having as a headwind disc for now and you'll find it more useful over time. I don't know much about the Crosslap Credo, so no comment on that.

I'd be VERY disappointed in that box. If I found most of those discs uninked on the course I'd just leave them behind.
 
That Credo is terrible, you should give it away, to me :)

I was kinda thinking this, too. Off brand crap, for the most part.

That makes one of us. There's good discs in there. And I'd love a free Orc if one comes my way.... :popcorn:
