[Other] Discs you don't use a LOT but still 'Need'

[JReynolds]

My champ gator, super flat glow firebird, and my Anthon destroyer (which I am probably replacing with a bottom stamp pop-top). All really OS, and rarely used, but I'm really happy to have them when I need em

 

[AaronMonier18]

FAF 12X Firebird. It's almost too overstable to be useful and then certain situations arise and your glad you bag it.

 

[jenb]

11x champ firebird. In emergency break glass.

 

[Stable]

The disc that this thread is asking about for me WAS the Destroyer. I kept it in the bag for those times where I felt that my Wraiths couldn't handle the situation. What I've realized is that 175g Champion Wraiths can do anything a Destroyer can with the right release angle and less effort. Everything in my bag right now is vital and gets pulled out at some point on most courses.

 

[Stevo]

Lucid Enforcer: only when I need a distance driver into a headwind. Used our once Saturday over the course of 38 holes.
JL Gator: gets used more than the Enforcer, just not nearly as much as my Ghosts

 

[Halcón]

I can't play a round without something beefy, like a Resistor or a Motion. I might go a whole round or even two without throwing them, but having that overstable disc in the bag is essential when needed.

 

[Moose33]

I often feel I have to carry my Epic even though I only use it to drive on one hole of my home course. The rest of my bag is very simple but for that up and over drive with a right turn in it... Just feel like I need that crappy tommy disc.

 

[AndyJB]

I have two: CE Firebird and my Classic Blend Suspect. My Firebird is still beefy and skippy, but not exactly a utility. I find myself using it more in tournaments than in casual play. Really its for when I need a Banshee.shot but with an added 20 to 30 feet of distance. Not as go - to as my QOLF or Volt by any means.

I bag two Suspects and my Bio Fusion just gets way more flight time. I only use the Classic Blend when it's wet or when I'm making a serious ace bid.

 

[elmexdela]

i barely ever use my hornet. its like there isnt a use for overstable mids

but seriously i dont use it much, nor my ti stalker or firebird but im sure glad i have them when i need it. for wind or good hooks

 

[Ted Bratton]

My hornet is the only one that stands out. Now that I mention it I want to find another nice wasp...it's been a while since my last one beat in a little too much. I do have several other less important discs in my bag but they're for fun.

 

[jswoods1984]

It seems like all of these are just utility discs. I suppose mine would be Flick, Firebird, and Zone which are all my super overstable plastic. Don't need to use them often, but they help out in a pinch. The other would be my 86 Softie, don't use it much inside the circle, but if I need a flippy putter, it definitely fits the bill!

 

[bobmcnelly]

My pig and gator, considering I don't see much wind up in the mountains.

 

[MrFixIt]

VP, DX Cobra, and a Ch Mamba.
I have some overlap with theses discs in the bag, but it just doesn't feel right without them.

 

[namar]

xxx and a beat up lace. can't be without the windproof meathook, and that lace does stuff that I can't manage with anything else. I'll go several rounds in a row without using either one, but the xxx at least won't be leaving anytime soon.

 

[Akedos]

My Double D. I use it on only 1 hole at my home course and nowhere else. It's too overstable for me to personally use properly on a flat hole, but I use it to carve around a huge willow, downhill, over a pond and park it for a birdie 50% of the time. Plus it floats incase I do end up short over the water.

 

[RShott]

154g Champ Firebird. It's so overstable that I pretty much only use it for thumbers. It stays in my bag because I always seem to throw at least one thumber during a round, and when i need to throw that shot the 150 class champ Firebird is the only disc I reach for.

 

[SteezeOG]

Lucid Enforcer, Lucid Verdict, Opto Trident.

All overstable and only come out for big winds or specialty reasons but I always have them. I do use my moonshine verdict that is a little beat in but only when I can't be sure one of my truths won't flip and turn over completely on me in a headwind. The other verdict is a more OS lucid one and I keep it pretty fresh and never have much need to throw it. It's more a backup. The enforcer is only for big spike hyzers or skip shots or tornado like headwinds. Otherwise I can count on my really beefy pink first run lucid trespass. Trident gets used more but still not much. Only for specialty flicks and times I need a overhand throw or something powered down that goes left and skips good.

 

[blammo]

I keep a tournament Tursas in the bag for utility, short turning shots, get out of trouble forehands, and slow, glidey approaches with no fade. I also keep a Panzer for putts and close range approaches when there is a headwind. I might throw those two less than 5 times a round on an average day.

 

[Hyzer Ale]

The Zone. I love the disc but only use it on certain occasions.
Leopard. Even though I love it I seem to reach for the seasoned roc when choosing between the 2.
Nuke OS. Overhand and when I am throwing a forehand into a headwind that has ob on the left. We have that hole at my home course and it is the reason that disc is in my bag.

 

[scotnt73]

Mine would be the lat64 diamond lite. I found it months ago and after playing around and getting used to it it has become the rhbh disc that I can throw level and it will just immediately start turning and gently gliding right forever. Was a learning curve but it never turns and burns just glides right. I can't sidearm for **** so when a hole is really just a sidearm or sharp long Anny hole I pull out this.
