I have a $160 credit with a Disc Golf retailer. I'm looking at picking up a set of Discraft discs. For someone that doesn't throw anything Discraft, what would you suggest if you were filling out a bag from scratch?

That should read Some Discraft Discs.

Here's what's in my bag now...

168 Star Katana
172 Star Valk
172 Star Wraith
173 Star Starfire

153 DX Viper
172 DX Scorpion (s)
172 DX Eagle
144 DX Stingray

170 Star Mako
180 Star Mako
170 DX XD

171 'Hands On' Avair Putter

Looking for the Discraft equivalent to what I carry now. Mostly interested in replacements for my Star Katana, Star Mako, and Viper and Eagle.
 
*calling Chris Hysell, come in Chris Hysell*

My limited experience with Discraft, the stand-outs are:

Putters: Magnets or Challengers
Mids: Buzzz, Comets, maybe the new Hornet
Fairways: Stalkers, Predators
Drivers: Surges, Avenger SS

There really isnt a Discaft disc that compares to the Katana; but the Buzzz could replace the Mako. Wasp or Hornet could replace the Viper. And the XL could probably replace the Eagle in my opion.

Really, my favorites from Discraft are as follows:
Predator
Buzzz
Glo Z Stalker
Surge
APX
Comet
 
I doubt he'd suggest an oop disc...

@op - Btw, how did you get that much credit? That's awesome!
 
Favorite Discraft:
ESP Crush
ESP Flash
ESP or X Comet (get several for practice)
FLX Drone
FLX and ESP Buzzz

for what you are really looking for you should try the Avenger, Predator, Nuke and Buzzz.

Valk ~ A-SS
Wraith ~ Surge or S-SS
SF ~ Avenger
Scorpion ~ Marauder (OoP) or Cyclone
Stingray ~ Stratus
XD ~ APX??
Aviar ~ Challenger (but I don't think you want to replace your putter).
 
Don't forget to check out the zone. Doesn't look like you have an overstable putter right now and thats cool, but I would bet that after throwing the zone you will realize what you were missing :p
 
Without a doubt, the Nebula is my favorite but jt's right, I don't suggest oop plastic if I can help it. No sense letting people taste forbidden fruit.

Quick rather off topic question: What is the Nebula? I know it's a oop Discraft disc, but nothing other than that.
 
Ace Race disc from 2008.
Overstable mid range.
PDGA approved and called the Nebula, but no plans for regular production.
I think it's the only Ace Race disc so far that didn't go into production.
