Approach disc choice

[archmage]

I'm throwing all my approaches with either Grip Pure or Firm VP, depending on wind and line.

I've also noticed many people around here throw mid-ranges on short approach shots, and even call them approach discs. I might tell them once that it's more a mid-range driver, and their putter is putt and approach disc, but after that I'll leave them be and use what they want.

I throw a spike zero if it's less than 75' and an E Element for anything 75'-150', unless I have to get left to right then a dx gator.

Under 125' im chunking the dx birdie, over 125' i have a dx shark that is sooo beat that i love to throw. I recently bought a r-pro roc that i'm really liking as well.

I usually just throw my putter unless I need some kind of crazy turn and/or fade.

For hyzers ill throw a buzz. bh or fh depending what trouble im in. For anhyzers ill throw a lat 64 core.

I almost always use the Star Aviar for approaches.

50' and in SSS Wiz

50-100' M Wiz

100'+ DX Roc I know it's not an approach disc just what I feel comfortable throwing at this range. Even though I can drive it out past 250' I find it extremely controllable for me at this range. Almost like it reads my mind. Its shaped the exact line I pictured time after time and rarely lets me down.

Those shots are all putters for me. I carry three of them, a beat DX aviar, a broken in KC Pro aviar, and a pro rhyno. If it requires some extreme lines or stances, I might reach for a utility disc, like my heavy Z flick, my star gator, or my DX stingray, but 95% of those shots are made with a putter.

Aviars all the way. What more could you need?

 

[AdamE]

Rocs and putters are all good for upshots, but if you haven't tried out a Condor I think you're missing out. Condors glide so effortlessly and will hold any line you put on them. I put one in my bag a couple months ago and am wondering how I ever got along without it.

Champion Rhyno seems pretty automatic if you got good area for backhands or side arms

or:

ESP Buzzz for hyzer shot with tight lane

ESP Cyclone for anhyzer shot in tight lane
