Approach Discs

[craftsman]

Challenger

 

[KMaC]

Challenger unless it's windy.

 

[Cupper]

i have been using the dga gumputt powerdrive. it is basically a mid version of the blowfly. flight is really neutral, straight as a arrow if you want. you can be very aggressive without worrying about rollaways or long deflections. and it isnt in that crappy blowfly color.

 

[billnchristy]

Sinus AP for me, Classic roc, XD, or Gremlin for my wife.

Ray, you use a goblin for uphill shots is that what you are saying?

 

[gigemjonny]

rocs and jk pro avairs

 

[discdrive]

The local pros always recommend to "disc down". Turns out my putter, a Challenger, is also my best generic approach disc. Throw it at the basket, no muss no fuss.

 

[devious_imp]

i've been using my rpro dart recently, its a little more overstable than I would like but for some reason that disc gives me a really good feel for those close up shots

 

[discspeed]

I've been playing for a decade and thrown thousands of discs, and imo the Ion is the best approach disc yet made.

 

[DMoney]

I'd have to say Challengers as well but lately I've been messing around with some Ringers and have really been liking them too.

 

[sidewinding]

I like oll of the bigger beaded putters but really like challengers the mostest.

 

[okiebullgod]

Da-dart R-Pro.

 

[dmalexander]

If I'm close enough I'll use my putter, either a focus or magnet. Little bit further out and I'll use a roc or buzzz, I kinda go back and forth between those two.

 

[BrotherDave]

Its usually the Ion for me. Depending on the distance/line for a particular approach, I may throw my 2yr old Buzzz.

Same here, just substitute Buzzz with Nebula.

 

[nothingbutchains]

Stable ROC.
Buzz
Understable Stratus.

 

[s3bvikingasw]

Star Big Bead Aviar or Star Aero depending on wind direction. If theres a strong headwind or I need a flex shot that fades, I may use a Star Rhyno or a beat up Viper.

 

[TalbotTrojan]

I usually pull out my Zone, which I also use as my main putter. I do have more stable and understable options but am thinking of buying a few Pro D Zones to beat in to be those discs as well. I just love the feel and versatility of the Zone. Great low profile and great at distances up to 200 ft or so for me right now.

 

[DiscJunkie]

My approach disc depends on the situation.
I don't have the disc control that I need, so i tend to take the disc that will work best for the situation:
Flat-top FLX Challenger for anything under mid-range range and general purpose.
Beat-in Evo Warlock for a no-roll, no-skip (sidehills, downhill, etc.)
Well-used QMS for mid-range approaches.
FLX Drone for windy approaches.

 

[WillACarpenter]

Its usually the Ion for me. Depending on the distance/line for a particular approach, I may throw my 2yr old Buzzz.

this unless I need more stability, then a Challenger.

OK, this is going to sound strange , but this works for me:


220ft-100ft = 176 Soft Magnet- Its heavy , so it doesn't' turn over when thrown hard, and flies almost dead straight.

99ft-40ft = 170 Pro D Challenger- Slightly overstable, so I throw it just right of the basket, and it curves back in. Because of the curve, if I miss, it doesn't fly far past the basket. It doubles as my overstable, and wind putter.

40ft to Basket= 174 Soft Magnet- It also flies dead straight, and has more glide than my heavier putter, so it dosen't drop as fast, and holds slower lines better.

I wish mine was still overstable.
