Hey,
So I'm a right hand forehand dominant player. Pretty much have only gone backhand if I had no choice. Got some good advice from a better player, reworked my backhand. Last weekend, I finally added a walk up again, and I saw great improvement. Plenty of you probably throw farther, but for a middle aged guy who only started a couple years ago, I'm happy.
Before now, my best backhand was about 225 with a Legacy Rival. Anything above speed 7 just faded hard. Here's my results...
Innova Beast (champion @ 170g). 240. maybe 250. straight & low. loved it, but was clearly the shortest of the drivers I tried. has been out of my bag for months.
Innova Tern (G Star @ 167). 250-260. hit one perfect, I measured at 275. too much turn, but fades back. been inconsistent with the forehand, but i've gone well over 300 when it's right.
Streamline Trace (plasma @ 172). feels a little too overstable for my backhand for now. still getting 250ish. been in & out, but I know it's a good disc.
Destroyer (G Star @ 159). a lot of potential, but clearly too much turn due to its weight. about 260ish. hadn't used it in months.
Legacy Outlaw (glow disc @ 175). too overstable for my backhand. still my current forehand driver of choice.
Definitely seeking suggestions on discs. Not gonna buy everything, but looking. I feel solid in my bag from speed 7 down. Thanks in advance.
