I just don't get all this fretting over Proxy and Atom...just bag one or the other.

Pretty boring course and mediocre throwing, but here's 9 holes with a Proxy.

Well, I gave the proton atom and n soft proxy a fair chance to take over as my upshot putter and after today I'm really digging the proxy. Proton atom is still a great disc, but it's a better comparison to an envy than a proxy. At least for my game. I was hitting some nice little upshots with the proxy today. Not my favorite off the tee on holes over 200, but that's what I have an envy for. I like my upshot disc to handle touch shots and the proxy does it very well for me. P atom just doesnt feel good on those short touch shots.

Hit my first #GyroAce today. Orange/orange Neutron Proxy on a slight hyzer, only 135 feet at a little pitch and putt.. But man it was puuurrty. It's been my first dip back into gyro discs since I've actually learned to throw. Really loving it for short drives and ups. Started putting the electron atom as well. Might have to keep trying these gyro discs.

I've been focusing on making myself pull the Proxy out more often, on a wider variety of shots, and it's killing it. I swear I think going with a "if not a Proxy, then..." game plan is saving me like 3 throws/round. It's deadly.
Hah, have you tried any Proxy only rounds? Its annoying how many holes I've thrown better during those rounds than my full bag rounds. These days I use mine on holes I wouldn't have ever thought to when they came out.

No I haven't tried Proxy only, but I'm experiencing some of what you're talking about on holes I never would've thought about at first. The whole "why have I waited so long to throw Proxy off this tee" etc.
Both the Proxy and Envy fit this description well. They're sneaky long and have seriously bit into the number of times I throw my Buzzzs.

Agreed.
Plus though, the Proxy is cool because it flies basically the same for me from like 150 ft out to as hard as I can throw.

Thanks. I'm an envy fan and have thought about adding this mold to my mvp only bag. so it seems this is basically an envy tooled less stable.
Also, I like the michgander note on your description. cool stuff. I thought i was only one that used that term and i'm not even from the great lake state.

This! I love that it is so straight over a such a range of power. There are a number of straight discs with just the right amount of juice but going straight over a wide range of juice is what makes this disc special in my opinion.
Crave will be close. It has a touch of fade though when new so once seasoned it is very straight.
Seasoned Craves and Volts are your best bet. Volts have better HSS but take longer to lose their fade. Seasoned Crave is my #1 driver these days.

For average arms I'd say the Relay. I've thrown it several times on frozen ropes up to 300'.
