so theres the bag of tricks. i say or how i learned to love the trees, because most of my bag is newer premium plastic and needs more tree love to bear fruit. take the leopard for example. still in its first stage of life. all of your comments, ratings, suggestions, trolling, or just general whatever is welcome. i generally shoot around even to 10 over range and have gotten much better at putting lately. my next goal is to maybe find some lighter versions of the discs i like such as the wraith so i can rip them better. i am also looking to add a hyzer flip backhand driver to my arsenal and that would probably cover just about everything. like most other people here i have a tub of plastic and go back and forth between discs.

thanks

Seems like a solid bag, everything covered besides the hyzerflip/US slot in your drivers. I'm a fan of sidewinders, not so US as a Roadrunner or some other utility disc, but still super easy to throw.

Looks like a good bag of tricks. Nice Dr. Strangelove reference :thmbup:

People seem to love the Underworld as an US driver. I am guessing you can hyzer flip it but I have never thrown one myself. Gets good reviews, though!

 

[NavinJohnson]

thanks.

for my understable driver im thinking patriot or river. i like my leo but it seems like it will take an eternity to beat in right. i do like some warship however, so underworld may fit. decisions. i have had a perfectly beat champ viper that turned over long, then fought back at the end. it is impossible to replace. i cant wait 5 years to season a disc.

 

[NavinJohnson]

hmm i have hukked my brother in laws champ sidewinder and it bombed. forgot about it. so many discs, not enough time to throw everything.

 

[NavinJohnson]

bag revisions since the last time....


173 destroyer champ.
175 max star. forehand dream. i bomb forehand and it rules.
170 firebird champ. goto forehand flick and spike shots.
? viking champ. the understable type driver i was looking for. turns and then fights back.
? surge esp ND. a little less hss stable than the wraith. fades hard still. i like
166 teebird L fairway turnover
170 teebird champ. straight and long

169 coyote champ. perfect approach toss. dies and drops. turns but no burn.
174 comet Z still there. money
180 roc3. driving mid. loving it.



174 zone D. wind approach, putt
175 wizard. putt in the circle
175 wizard CH. driver/long putter. in the sweet spot.

i still have the other discs. trying to cycle wizards. the ion and anode especially refuse to beat in and got dropped as its colder.

thanks

Did you ever get to try a River? I'd also say try an MVP Amp for that turnover/anny slot. I'm not a fanboy, but that disc does things (consistently) that I can't get other discs to do.

depending on your power/distance of course, i have found the sidewinder to be very reliable. with around 300 ft of power, it pops up on a hyzer flip nicely , bullets for a bit and finnishes back left. havnt turned it over yet, always comes back. 170ish star flat top almost new condition/not beat at all yet. and finnishes fairly strong on the come back.
