Yeah, I'm close to breaking 400', I'm at about 360-370' right now, but I'm disc'd throwing a CD by discmania. Even when I'm disc'd up, I still have never found need of anything above about a speed 11.

because throwing discs too fast for your arm speed breeds OAT and actually slows down or even reduces a players ability to improve.I can bomb a Katana further than anything else. Haven't throw a vulcan yet but can't wait. Why all the negativity and hostility here about new discs. Every good player knows it comes down To putting and if certain discs give you the best opportunity to hole out who cares how far they throw it.

BUT, Z Nukes, Opto Flows, etc. aren't usually flippy enough to flip over from hyzer into a distance line at my power level either.

throw ultra speed discs 300' to score better, not to get better.
I'm looking for a new understable distance driver, particularly one with a good right turn so I don't have to use side-arm shots and so that I can get more distance. My question is which disc should be easier to throw for distance and keep straight if need be.
Katana: 13, 5, -3, 3
Vulcan: 13, 5, -4, 2
And if anyone has advice to throw these I'd appreciate that too.

At 400' of power, the Vulcan is too flippy for me to throw on control lines.
BUT, Z Nukes, Opto Flows, etc. aren't usually flippy enough to flip over from hyzer into a distance line at my power level either. The Vulcan is perfect for that. Flippy enough to flip from hyzer and glide anny, but still LSS enough to come back.
I imagine it would beat into a great sky roller too. The edge is sharp and the wing is balanced.
So after buying a couple Star Vulcans of my own, (had been throwing a buddy's at the field) I'm really impressed with this disc. Stability-wise, it reminds me a lot of a Gold Line Lat64 Flow I throw at the same weight (170g). They seem to stay in the air just as long.
The difference is that the Vulcan is FAST. It just comes screaming out of your hand. I've never had a disc that added so much effortless D. We have a driving range at my home course. It's 400' to the parking lot. Second throw with the Vulcan I hit a hyzer flip turnover that skipped into the middle of the lot. My longest throw ever.
It is flippy, but it's a predictable flip. It's not as easy to flip to flat as a (beat) PD or Orc, but it is predictable for a speed 13 disc, (haven't had the throw-up-my-hands-and-bitch-at-the-disc shot yet.)
What I'm really liking about it is how slowly it seems to be beating in. Speed 13 drivers seem to age really quickly for me. I've hit a couple trees HARD, and haven't noticed a change yet.
I'm going to grab a couple more. I'm praying that a Champ 175g is as sweet as it seems like it would be.
I'm not positive that it'll make my bag for wooded courses yet, but it's now my go-to boomer driver. I'm guessing it'll bomb in a tailwind too.
