esp flx drone is very os for forehand you need to flex or torque it. It does shine in headwind will go moderately straight with minimal up/down and smaller fade.

The Drone's rim is pretty deep and always bothered me. The FLX I had was pancake flat, and I still never adjusted to it. I know that Kingery will probably jump down my throat on this (despite not having a decent argument against Mike C, who has actually proven he knows what he's talking about), but it seems like every disc you're considering for FH is (mega-)overstable. I personally believe that you're not doing yourself any favors doing this.
I started the same way and spent many years watching my Flicks and Forces go right (lefty here) thanks to OAT and then fade back, sometimes not. It wasn't until I started trying discs more on the stable (neutral) side that my form improved and my distances started growing (and consistently). Your money is yours to spend, but overstable plastic will continue to mask form flaws in much the same way ultra speed drivers do. Stable discs will be frustrating to start, but once you click with them the fun will begin. For the record, look at my signature. Only the Zone is really overstable, and I throw all those discs FH. Two years ago it would've been overstable discs only that would've all been thrown on flex lines to get any distance.
Good luck with whatever you choose to buy.
Please don't make me out to be some novice. My style may be a bit more non-conventional, but that doesn't mean it won't work for someone else if they try it too.

Just don't write on it [the FLX], and if you don't want it PM me
Haha Ill keep that in mind when i purchase one.
So I know my OP got a little far from the orriginal title but what about a longer FH driver? The Nuke OS doesnt seem like an appropriate fit. Could something like an avenger or avenger ss work well for what im looking for? Suggestions?
i know my forehand form isn't very good. the disc flutters upon release, and i have to use an overstable disc or it'll flip right over. however, i only throw forehand about 20% of the time, and usually get decent distance and accuracy. so, is it really a big deal if my forehand form is off?
. . . I got my first and third aces with the same ESP Avenger (two-ish weeks apart, after 7 years of trying lol).
You're being silly. I don't putt with a big bead, but if I did and it was flipping on me I wouldn't blame the disc. Much of golf comes down to the individual but there are some standards that can be observed.
I thought the Avenger ss was more stable?
What can I say--I'm a silly guy. If you want to talk standards, look at the standard disc characteristics for top FH players. You'll find many more who throw OS molds for longer drives. Most of the great FH players I've come across who are 100% FH do indeed throw Eagles, Teebirds, Rocs, etc. (though usually in addition to an OS big-distance driver), but that's not the type of player we're talking about here; the OP throws BH/FH, which is why I advised like I did.
I think this OP has had enough advice for now. Best of luck, guy.
ORelly? Give me more FH protips, pleas. Lulz.
I don't think I've ever read anything more telling about the majority of advice given on this site.
Well fwiw I throw bh/fh too and have taken fh seriously for maybe 1/4 of the time I've been playing, and I like to think I figured a thing or two out about that throwing style. But everyone knows you can't fh drive putters unless its a zone, this is proof.
