    Slower distance drivers for beginner field work?

    Yeah, that's the other way to go (vs just getting three more DX Beasts) I was thinking about. Like staying in the same speed realm, but with different flavors. I guess it comes down to which goal means more to me right now - building up my form or experimenting with how different discs work for...

    Slower distance drivers for beginner field work?

    This sounds like good middle ground. When I go back I'll check the weights on the DX Beasts. Maybe not get exactly the same discs, but keep the spread of differences much tighter.

    Slower distance drivers for beginner field work?

    Sounds like good advice. And DX Beasts are 2/3 the price of other premium stuff. Thanks for this nudge as well. I have a trio of light DX Sharks. Maybe I just work with those for a while. On the other hand, I think the Shark mold tends to hide flaws more, i.e. throws with the Shark always seem...

    Hi All. Been playing a few months. I have a Gstar Leopard3, a DX Beast, and a DX Wraith. I can just about hit 300' with the Beast, with a pretty straight flight path that hints at the -2/2 turn/fade rating. Wraith goes the same distance, just with more stability/fade. I can get the Leopard3 out...

    Which Innova sits between a Wedge and a Shark in both feel and stability?

    Hey all, thanks for all the replies.

Though I have larger than average hands, the smaller diameter discs...

    Which Innova sits between a Wedge and a Shark in both feel and stability?

    Not a bad idea, in theory. But the DX Shark I got in my starter pack is already pretty beat up. It is also very light. I can turn it over fairly easily. But part of what I don't like is the deeper dish feel of the Shark. Ideally, I'd like thinner than the Shark but thicker than the Wedge. See...

    Which Innova sits between a Wedge and a Shark in both feel and stability?

    Title says it all. Less stable than the Shark but not as flippy as the Wedge, with a rim/feel deeper than the Wedge but shallower than the Shark?
