Driver help

[anthonyb]

I primarily use a star 167 TL for my driving, and thats the only driver i use right now, as i lost a star Eagle today. I need help finding a new driver, i want a slower speed driver, so fairway is what im looking for, i can throw my TL about 260-290 area. i have a couple distance drivers, a few orcs, some wraiths a sidewinder, but the orcs and wraiths are too much for me right now, and i cant throw the sidewinder to save my life, it just flips right over, and im not rolling my wrist so i know thats not the problem, i would be content with just the TL as my driver, but i feel weird just having one driver disc, i need help, thank you

Have you ever tried a Leopard?

It will be a little flippier than your TL, but I think it would go real straight for someone at your power level without being overly flippy like your sidewinder.

 

[anthonyb]

ive thought about that, but my TL goes real real straight with real little fade/ turn what ever its called. ive thought about a valkyrie, i had a real real beat in champ one when i first started igot from a friend, and i could throw that pretty good when i first started, but ive since lost that

i would recommend a stalker

I would recommend staying with your TL. If that's what you're comfortable throwing than that's what you should throw.

What do you need that your TL isn't providing, that's the question. A TL should handle all things straight and understable related, sounds like what you need is something more overstable, like an Eagle, Cyclone, Teebird, etc.

if it ain't broke don't fix it. I tried to replace my TL for a long time only to find it didn't need replacing. If you want something shorter try a buzzz or a roc, longer get a light destroyer/wraith or a star/champ sidewinder (dx gets too flippy).

Stalker or Teebird for more fade.

I think I am going to have to second the Leopard for a decent fairway driver. The TL is my main disc right now and does a lot of things well for me so I would say stay with that. Leopard might not get you as much distance, but is good for shorter, more controlled drives.

 

[leppard]

Keep working with the TL. Maybe add a Stalker, Leppard, Teebird, or Eagle. Really just depends on what you need.

I'd try out a Polaris LS if you're just looking for some variety.

 

[tmahan]

I have a Champ Leopard and it's a good bit more stable than the Pro or SE ones that I've thrown. A beast might fit the bill too. I like the SL, I find them to be closer to and Eagle than a Champ Teedbord in stability, they'll fly straight a good ways. They're also good for straight forehand rollers for me.

TLs Cousin

I would recommend the TLs cousin aka...the ESP tracker. I have thrown both discs, and you will find with a crisp hyzer snap that the ESP tracker is very str* and glidy as the TL may have less glide and more aggressive fade, but the flight patterns are quite similiar....

To take it a step further....I would HIGHLY recommend an Elite X tracker, which is rated at less stability than it's big brother the ESP version. In calm days, I can crush this disc, as it has filthy glide(with hidden stability because of the thick edge, so harder to turn over)....it can also take sharp anyhyzer routes that a buzzz may flip over on...I don't carry this disc any more because I have maxed out on what I like to have in my bag(Fade Bag...which holds about 15)...but if I had to add one more...More than likely, it would be the elite tracker.

Keep in mind the domieness of the ESP tracker...I picked one up that had major dome, and I honestly would put it in the area of stability as a wraith. Being it was a tracker...I could get huge distance, but prefer the more appropriate use of a tracker, being major glide, tight line, and soft finish.

Do not purchase the Z version of the tracker...as it is a completely different disc, but great for windy conditions, especially if don't have the biggest arm.

Lastly, if you are looking for something a little slower than the TL or tracker, pick up the STALKER...worth it's weight in gold!....gl
