[Vs.] Disc of the Decade (01-10)

[kyledstauffer]

This is a pretty sweet idea! Are you gonna do one for the 90's and 80's too?

 

[Halcón]

None of us throw anything from the 80's.

 

[kyledstauffer]

No one throws a stingray? How about an aviar?

 

[ZAMson]

I throw a Vector opcorn:

It causes me physical anguish, as I really wanted to vote OLF since I now have it in the bag and realize now why it's so awesome, but the best disc just has to be the Buzzz. I don't bag one, but to this day if you asked me the perfect disc for a one-disc round, the answer just has to be the Buzzz.

I was kidding. I just checked out the list of approved discs and was surprised by how few discs are still popular from the 80's.

Zam, how's that Vector handle for ya?

how is the most un-versatile disc going to end up winning disc of the decade?

just shows how popularity and respectability are different concepts.

Not picking, just interested in what your definition of what a versatile mold is?

I would say the Buzzz's ability to hold hyzer, anny, and straight lines very versatile. But that's just me.

We're on the same page kaiser, to me a buzz is more of a one trick pony. It's a good disc sure I just don't understand how it's so popular especially against pds, wraiths, and destroyers which are all excellent versatile molds IMO.

I can throw any line a buzz can handle with a roc and many more it can't!

having a disc hold a line to the ground is not versatility. having it be able to ride an anhyzer and land flat without loosing too much height, or fighting a headwind and still being workable, or being able to hyzer-flip to dead straight without requiring too much lateral space, or basically being able to shape any line other than go straight. that's all the buzzz does. it does it well, but there are tones of discs that can do that, whereas the buzzz can do nothing that a lot of other discs can do.

Bingo!!

Roc for life.

Roc for life.

You can vote the Roc in when New makes his best of the 80's poll, featuring hits by Wham-o and Lightning.

 

[brandocommando9]

I don't think there would be much of a point to have a roc in one of these threads unless you negate the poll all together and post" these are the discs made the same year as the roc none have a chance roc wins!"

Doesn't make the Roc any less special, just highlights how good it is going against those. Plus I'm told some Lightning discs aren't too bad.

 

[kyledstauffer]

How can a thread completely with no mention of the roc in the subject matter become a roc vs. buzzz thread. Are all threads destined to become roc vs. buzzz threads...

Roc by the way

 

[natedg1976]

I voted for the destroyer simply because I cannot stand the buzz and knew it was going to win.

 

[Jimb]

I figured that the Buzzz would win in a landslide anyway so I voted for the OLF. The OLF is my favorite driver, but the Buzzz is only my 2nd to favorite mid.

And I was right about the Buzzz, so it was nice to give the OLF a little love!

Edit: Just read some more of the posts and had to mention that the Buzzz stole the place in my bag formerly occupied by the Roc. No Roc hate here at all btw. The Buzzz just works better for me.

I'm not dissing the Roc, just saying it has no place in this thread.

 

[thisislorenb]

A buzzz can do tons of stuff...... release angles....... nuff said

 

[jimbosprint]

I'm glad Buzzz is winning. It's the only one from the other polls that I voted for.
