Trying out Trilogy

[holein1]

I'm a long time discraft user looking to try out some trilogy discs! What are some good discs and their purposes? Just wonder what people like the most from those brands.

TP Underworld will change your life.

Also a GL Core is a tree dodging mid that will make all your friends ask "how'd you do that?" (Flat top with a small "pop" near the middle, NOT those weird dome ones.)

 

[rd.bittle]

What do you throw now?

What do you throw now?

This.

Just a heads up, the numbers on Trilogy discs are not exactly the same as the ones Innova uses. Same idea, but generally Trilogy disc are less stable than the numbers would suggest compared to Innova.

 

[Pymm]

I throw mostly trilogy stuff. I started with River and Saint (glidey, easy distance) and still use them both. I love the Verdict and Thief (probably my most used discs-both OS-mid and fairway driver). I putt with a Spike (hurray for thumbpads). I also bag a Harp which gets some use and a Vision, another fairway driver, which I like to use for flex shots. I had a Claymore that I loved but lost it and haven't yet replaced it. All of the discs I just listed range from either wildly popular to popular with the exception of the Vision, which seems to get a bad rap and the Spike, which no one I meet seems to know anything about. Objectively, I would recommend any of these discs but it really depends on what slot you're trying to fill in your bag, I guess, so YMMV.

 

[Streets]

commie plastic.

2016 Team Trilogy Points winner chiming in here...

Of course I love the plastic, but it's hard to recommend anything without knowing your skills. I bag a World for overstable distance driver; a Sword for straight distance; a Bolt/Fury for turnover distance. I love the Stag for straight in the woods fairway driver (think Teebird); Saint Pro for overstable fairway; and XXX for crazy overstable trick shots/grenades. Verdict for overstable midrange; Truth for straight midrange (Buzzz replacement); and Tursas for stupid turnovers (I never use forehand). Sinus is my go-to upshot approach and I putt with Wardens.

Tons of new molds out since I created my bag, but I play so many tournaments I don't have time to try the new stuff... so I just go with what I know works for me.

 

[josephreese]

I am starting to like the Fury for an easy, reliable left-to-right fade off the tee. I'm not a long-distance thrower, so if you have a power arm it might not be as great a disc for you.

 

[dwindacatcher]

I enjoy the river for fairway shots slight fade, slight turn, or straight. Underworld for big fade fairways or hyzer flips.

 

[holein1]

I haven't played many tournaments and I'm not a PDGA member yet so it is hard to say my skill level compared to others. I played a pretty big one in Des Moines, IA and placed top 15 in intermediate. I'd say I've gotten better since then.

I have a strong forehand and backhand. On a good rip I can get a backhand throw to go typically between 4 and 5 hundred feet. Forehand probably can get to around 3 to 350 feet, sometimes more.

 

[Dcinmd]

I throw a lot of Discraft.

I love the Bolt and River. Recycled plastic is my favorite it reminds me a bit of Pro or ESP plastic. Bolt is a understable long distance driver. The River is nice S turn fairway driver that I have started to use as my roller. It reminds me of a shorter Avenger SS. I threw the Halo for a bit, it reminds me of a Nuke/Surge. But then lost both of my Halo's so I am throw my other discs.

I also like the Suspect, somewhere in between a Drone and Zone. Classic Blend

And The Judge is my putter of choice. Classic Soft. If you like a putter without a bead then the Warden is very nice as well.

I threw the Fuse for a bit but just prefer the Comet more so.

 

[holein1]

What do you throw now?

What's in my discraft bag:
Nuke
Force
Surge ss (used for rollers)
Flick
Undertaker
Buzzz
Buzzz os
Challenger putter

. . . Below is a list of some of the Trilogy discs I like. . .

Does the shill know the shill is being a shill?

 

[Shamis]

I'd say
Nuke -> Bolt or Maybe a lighter tresspass
Force -> Giant
Surge SS -> Fury or witness
Flick -> Felon
Undertaker -> Saint
Buzz -> Truth
Buzz os -> Verdict
challenger -> Judge or Dagger

 

[colucc43]

Does the shill know the shill is being a shill?

unlikely. shills are barely self-aware.

Does the shill know the shill is being a shill?

I thought it would be helpful to have a list of all the Trilogy discs to discuss. If you check out my disc collection you can see that I have more DGA than anything else. Right now I'm bagging all MVP. Sorry you felt it necessary to express your disagreement as an insult. If you feel the need to insult another member at least try to be entertaining. My peace I leave you.

Welcome to the site. I look forward to getting to know you.

I'll just say which Trilogy discs I bag:

For putting, my main putter is the Dynamic Discs Warden in Classic (hard) plastic. I sometimes use a Lucid Judge as a throwing putter. I also use the Lat64 Pure in Zero Hard, Opto and Gold Line plastics.

I have a Lat64 Compass (in Opto and Gold Line). Strangely enough, the Discraft Buzzz in Titanium plastic is my preferred choice for this slot. I just acquired a Gold Line Core, haven't worked with it enough to know if it'll kick the Mako3 out of the bag.

One of my all-time favorite discs is the Gold Line River. It seasons into perfect stable-understable goodness for me.

The Gold Line Fury is my favorite when I need a disc to go right (RHBH) throw, i.e. turn over and take an anhyzer line to avoid trouble to the left.

I sometimes bag a Gold Line Saint when I need a stable-overstable disc, though I must confess that the new Valarie Jenkins Star SLs have pretty much replaced the Saint in my bag.

I sometimes bag a Dynamic Discs Renegade in Gold Line plastic, and it's a very good disc, though it has not beat out my Tern.

I once bagged a Gold Line Flow, but other discs have essentially replaced it for the 'windy weather' distance driver.

 

[Skwirly]

My quick suggestions are these 3 mids:
Truth-stable (very much like a buzzz)
Tursas-understable
Verdict-overstable

All 3 feel a lot like the buzzz in the hand and feel the same overall. I recently ditched my buzzz for the truth.
