[Drivers] Driver Advice

GStar Thunderbird, S/P-PD, Star Starfire all good options. Go up in weight a bit for more wind fighting and control.

Will this PD work? Also, I have an Ape and Saint I'll take.

Yep, good ones.

I didn't know I had that PD. It's 158g which is nice for me.

I was throwing a Blizzard Ape into gusting winds today and it chewed em up and spat em out. I was getting long straight drives with fade art the end, like throwing a Valk on a calm day.

I found my Ape, I'll give it a go.

most stock champ eagles are the x model. at least the last time I was shopping. not too hard to find.

So this?

They do actually make discs with this chart stamped on them. I don't know what kind of discs they are... I thought I saw it on some putters.

You'll have to check the wing on the Eagle. The L is smooth & the X has a "bump"

 

[U_NICED_ME]

Ha! No idea!!!

What are you looking for exactly? A distance driver that isn't tossed around by wind?


That looks like an X-mold.

And why the hell are my pics sideways suddenly?

I am wanting a longer tee bird basically. Something that can handle wind but give me about 20-40 feet more distance. I picked up a lot of bogies this weekend bc my tee birds couldn't set me in putting position after two throws with them. Left me short.

 

[U_NICED_ME]

When I used the drivers in my bag: mostly Blizzard it got ridiculous, especially my Katanas.

 

[U_NICED_ME]

And the thing that makes it tricky for me is too stable will also leave me short or in swirling wind, it gets pushed down more quickly.

I have to concur with the PD recommendations than. The S-PDs can be a bit beefy when new, kinda like a Saint, but they break in pretty reasonable. The P-PDs bomb pretty good when new and break into hyzer flip turnover machines. I haven't tried a G* yet but I hear they fly like a broken in S-PD so that'd be nice too.

I wouldn't say Eagles are longer than Teebirds but when the wind is up you can throw them a bit more confidently and that can lead to nice distance. I'm smitten with the VIP Sword as my big boy distance driver. Really decent HSS while fading forward for easy long D.

 

[U_NICED_ME]

Then I need to break these in some. I don't throw them bc they've all been too beefy for me. So I just have to put some work in with them. Never heard of a Sword.

And blizzard messed me up, they were great at first but once they got chewed up, I never figured out what to do. My blizzard Destroyer was money but after two years it's crap. **Still in the bag** And I did buy some new ones, but they weren't the same as my first run.

Swords are a Westside disc (Finnish Latitude more or less). Kind of a Wraith/Destroyer lovechild. It's a fairly fast disc and some days when my form is just not firing on all cylinders I reach for PDs instead.

 

[U_NICED_ME]

I've got the Thunderbird and Volt coming. I'm excited to try the PD, I forgot I had it.
