Current bag shortlist: DISTANCE stand-still: 138 Starlite Valkyrie (fresh), hyzer-flip for max D run-up: needs more practice CONTROL headwind: needs a disc 167 Champ Valkyrie (fresh) - OS duties, poor left-right accuracy in headwind, needs to be changed 170 BT Warship (fresh) - Versatile, poor...

Created for personal journal purposes, mainly. Controllable distance around 70-75m with a 175 DX Cobra. Looking to improve the D this summer. RHBH dominant, my forearm needs control training (palm not towards the sky often enough upon release). I throw from a standstill. Looking to learn the...

Trying out this today: strictly putts 170 "Soft" Magic approaches anny 174 "Soft" Magic S/OS 174 E HPP Warlock <- Ion, if I can find it in a grippy enough plastic in the store. Extremely slippery but predictable disc and forest-proof plastic. Hunting down a Soft Wizard has been a difficult...

Oh, and my Warship is BT Plastic. I guess a VIP one would be slightly more overstable, especially when the BT one begins to wear and become understable (will probably fill my US mid slot eventually). But anyways, I am looking for a disc which is slightly more OS and especially has much more wind...

JR is correct in that Buzzz is too power hungry mold for me to play a complete round with successfully. I have tried Z, FLX and Titanium at 170g. 170g Pro D Buzzz worked out the best for me, but that's not an OS disc, so it's in a fall-in-between loser role. Have not tried out X plastic though...

After doing some Roc-related internet research, a 170 Star San Marino Roc might be suitable. 4 4 0 2 is basically the stats I am looking for. That or a slightly beaten-in 170-172 DX Rancho Roc. If I want something more OS, I already have that 175 Star Rancho Roc.

I am building a simple, slow control bag for wooded courses. I am looking for a slightly OS approach disc/slow mid to complement my Comets. A disc which does not skip, and preferably will not roll frequently either. Predictability is key here. The disc can have a bead. RHBH dominant 170 Soft...

"Christmas wish list" after giving it some initial thoughts: 1) 170 Discraft ESP FLX Buzzz - FLX plastic for wooded courses 2) 170 Discraft ESP FLX or Elite Z Wasp - overstable mid 3) 170 Gateway Soft Magic - lighter putt-putter (150 Innova Champion Mamba - if I am terribly unhappy with the...

Will try to get a hold of a Zone for testing purposes, but with the recent blizzard over Helsinki, I believe this issue will probably be left unresolved over the winter season until spring. That's actually true. I have a 170 C-line TD which flies very similar to my Valkyrie, except with more...

According to Lightning's own description, #3 Hyzer is "a midrange driver ... radically overstable ... floats in water". I tried to Google what the rim is like (round vs sharp edge), but did not find any pictures. Got no idea how well it can be thrown from forehand, or how long it takes for the...

I can't find any Blizzard Mambas from Finnish stores; only regular Champion plastic. And even then, it is difficult to find any light weights. But that disc would probably be nice on the Christmas wish list, anyway. :) After losing a Pro-D Buzzz and a DX Teebird, I have decided to rule out...

Pielisjoki, located close to suvantosilta. Suvanto (Finnish) = no current (English). I know one guy who threw a floating disc into the river at that same spot, and cycled to the other side of the river (roughly 1.5km because there is some distance to get to the bridge) to fetch his disc from the...

Brother's current bag, out of memory: 170 DX Wolf - putting 158 Opto Pearl - understable no overstable midrange 158 Opto Diamond - understable 167 S-line Jackal - straight no overstable driver Figured I would make him try out during the winter/Christmas break a few of the discs I have acquired...

The new course layout includes a wooded, narrow ~100m Par 3 hole with a really, really deep river flowing as the right-hand OB border. Since my brother is forehand-dominant, his fade is always to the direction of the river. He told me he has lost 2 discs within 1 week (based on the course...

Been recently thinking about Gold Core as a non-floating forehand midrange option. My brother seems to like Latitude 64 a lot. Does that float? I can't find any information which says it would. http://www.discgolfcenter.com/main_displayProduct.php?p=235 says Floats in Water: No
