I'm looking at getting two discs, preferable of the same mold. One to fill the very overstable/wind spot and and one to fill the slightly overstable driver spot (ideally, this would also be my main forehand driver).
Some info to help:
1. I mostly throw RHBH off the tee (90%-60% of the time, depending on the course), but I have a decent sidearm when I need it. I have a short, efficient stroke so I don't need anything too overstable for sidearm.
2. Main distance driver is a P-DD2 171g. I can throw it 400-425 on about 90% power (I virtually never throw full power). I can throw my TeeBird 350-375ft.
A couple of pairs I've thought of:
Very OS / Slightly OS
1. Champ Starfire / Star Starfire - When I used to play forehand dominant I had a Star Starfire that I liked. I'm worried the that the Champ won't be overstable enough for stronger headwinds. Also, I don't have much experience with the Champ, thrown a friends a couple times, it seemed more overstable than the star I had but maybe I'm wrong.
2. S-DD / P-DD - I've heard good things about these and I love the plastic on my DD2. Similar concerns as with the Starfire: will the S plastic be overstable enough?
3. C-PD2 / P-PD2 - Also heard a lot of good things about this, but I'm worried I don't quite have the arm to pull them off yet. For reference, I had a 175 Pro Boss that I could throw about as far as my DD2 but if I didn't throw it at least 95% power I would get no turn, and it would hyzer out too soon. Because the DD2 is slightly less HSS it's more forgiving. Because I had the throw the Boss so hard I had issues with control...
Thoughts from those with experience with these discs? Any other recommendations are welcome.
