[Other] Popular discs you just don’t like

[DrBaartman]

This is a very real concern. Good Wraiths are out there, but they aren't always easy to find. Most Wraiths I've thrown in the last several years fly something like 11, 4, 0, 3. When the Wraith first came out you'd see the actual flight numbers. For a Wraith to be good you definitely need that bit of turn and glide.

This. Normally I'm not picky, but it's for this reason that my sweet baby Wraith in my bag always has to be from the very first, super pearly Champion run of Wraiths from 2007. They fly like a Wraith should.


Take a shot every time "Wraith" is typed in this post. GO!

Innova- I always hated the teebird and boss. Teebird never felt like I could get a clean throw on it and it flew like a turd. Boss never could find 2 that were the same.

Discraft- Never liked the challenger or comet. Tried to putt with the chally for a minute and could have thrown a hubcap more accurately. Comet is just a weird feeling meteor.

Trilogy- in general haha

Discmania- I have a love hate relationship with the PD. I hate new beefy ones but love old beat in S lines.

I have an Augusta CFR Wraith I used to bag. Just a great disc. Flew perfectly to the numbers and would hold a straight line for a long time before fading. A lot of Wraiths today are super overstable and glideless. Probably why I filled that slot in the bag with Surges.

The Boss can definitely be a problem. When Innova first released the Boss I loved them. I still carry a champion Feldberg Boss in the bag. In recent years Innova has been putting out really crappy Bosses. These flat, blizzardy looking things that are super overstable and glideless. The Boss is a really frustrating mold to find good ones of.

I've thrown probably 25 Bosses, and I figure less than half of those had a decent flight. The rest were generally viciously overstable and glideless.

Again, I'd say the same thing about Destroyers. A good Destroyer is beautiful. A lousy Destroyer will make your arm feel like its going to fall off.

Buddy's always out here acting like Wizards aren't glidey. They glide SUPER well, and always have. Most people who have used them as throwers know they glide well. All except for some premium runs like Diamond, I guess.

Every time I read something like that drivel or "the Comet is just a weird feeling Meteor," I just shake my head. Says more about the discer, than the disc IMO.

The comet feels like a turd...IDK what that says about "the discer"

It says:

HAHA so because I don't like the feel of a comet that somehow effects my skill at the game we play? I got about nine hundred and ninety two things that disagree with you whole heartedly.

You are a funny guy. Comets make excellent water bowls for dogs. They could even make a great hat. They are not a good disc. But hey you are a great "discer" so who am I to argue with you. Disc on discer, disc on

 

[skizzle34]

Do people actually use the word "discer"?

 

[F. Howl]

Everyone in LA uses the term discer, and we street af.

 

[ray1970]

What terms people in Louisiana use are irrelevant here.

Just because one cannot throw a touch disc well does not mean it is a turd.

I can throw beautiful lines with a Comet that I cannot hit with any other disc.

I cannot throw an Ion at all, yet I do not call it a turd. It also is a line shaping beauty, just one that I cannot grip.

IDK where ya'll picked up that I can't THROW a comet. I said I hate HOW THEY FEEL. I can throw a comet just fine lmao. Flippy mid ranges are my favorite disc to throw.

Saying it out loud makes me gag a little bit not gonna lie. That would make ball golfers "ballers" which just isn't ok.

Compared to the Aviar which I believe the mold was modeled after, I would consider it to not glide as much. It's definitely not a brick like the Rhyno though. Extreme opinions are extreme.

The "I need a premium plastic <insert mold here> because baseline is thrashed after one tree hit" is the one that cracks me up the most. We do have the longest internet throwers on the planet though.

To clarify, the Wizard is not as glidey for me as the Judge/Warden/Marshal that I've become used to. So it's somewhat relative...

I'm surprised in all this back and forth you haven't somehow worked in a good shill for a Discmania disc.

 

[broomerang]

comet seems to be at the top of the list for a lot of people, probably because of it's unique hand feel. I wouldn't call it a popular disc though.

It's always been the roc for me. I've hated them forever and will continue to do so. I think it's a great disc but I cannot throw it to save my life. Now that I can't deal with beaded discs it's even worse. Thankfully there are so many great beadless mids.

In a close second would be the Beast. Since the Beast-L became the standard I think it's a pile of garbage and it's easily still one of the most popular molds in sales (greatly influenced by it's inclusion in the starter sets I'm sure).
