Seeing that I don't normally throw distance drivers, I'm good. The only time I throw any distance drivers is if there is a pretty strong headwind. In those instances I would rather disc up.

Yes my game would suffer. I mean how can I navigate those 250' hyzer holes without my Nuke??????
so the moral of the story is forget the big discs and get a big arm with control to boot. isn't that what you need to compete anyway?
They help forehand drivers the most, because forehand drives are based more on velocity than spin, and without the faster discs, forehand throws will be harder to shape for the average disc golfer who forehands.
That is true, but players like, say, Mike C, can forehand a putter a country mile if they want to.[/QUOTE.]
Yeah, but making a sport popular is allowing a wide range of people to get involved and do well within a reasonable amount of time. I've never seen anyone throw a putter further than me, and I can throw a pig 240 feet. Furthest forehand throw on flat ground (other than mine), at the Canadian Nationals was only 370ft.
I didn't say distance, I said shaping a line. The finickiness of a putter would make shaping a 350ft line through 30 trees hard to repeat if you had any wind, or if your form wasn't "On" every time you played.
I was in Grande Prairie A.B for the month of May, and 45mph gusts happened a few times during league games. Flicking a putter in that wind was suicide.
