[Drivers] What single disc can replace a River and Leopard?

[Wreck]

Hey all,

I just lost my 2 year old GL river a month after losing my 1 year old Leopard. So now, since I'm trying to cut down the number of molds I throw, I'm in the market for an understable fairway which can combine the insane glide I get from the river, with the smooth, consistent turn of a Leopard.

I've also been really interested in the Fuse... so what's a longer disc I could pair with that for the understable slot?

Get a lightweight GL river, throw a bunch of rollers with it.

Boom. Understable.

Pair it up with a heavy opto river.

Well the Underworld is glidey, and turns consistently. But it might turn more than a Leopard, depending on what flavor plastic you had.

Try out a pinnacle or icon patriot. The more you throw it, the better you'll like it.

S- Line FD Jackal. Not quite as glidey as the river but close. And has a decent enough turn. Lighter weight is what you probably want.

DX Teebird

Eagle-L

discmania fd. between the variations of c (champ) and s (star) line, you can cover everything from eagle/teebird to river/leopard.

Legacy Patriot in Icon and/or Pinnacle Plastic. Its literally a combo of both in terms of feel and flight.

Pinnacle is a bit more straight stable and the Icon is more of a left-to-right mover but still very straight at low power

Why were you throwing a River and a Leopard?

 

[MrGlass01]

Not gonna say you will find this disc you seek, but patriot seems to be there.

Get another leopard, there is no replacement only substitutes.

I have a 167 S for stuff that needs to go right and a 168 C that covers straight. These glide forever too.

I only see 3 great options. Other options or just a touch outside the stabilities of those 2 discs.

1) Polaris LS - it's basically a River with a touch less glide and a touch fatter rim. Almost the same basic stability. It's he only other mold that really exists right between the 2.

2) Beat GL River - throw hyzer bombs and rollers and you'll have it in no time.

3) Stiff Champion Leopard - they are different out of the box and will be a VERY slow beat in to an average leopard flight. It'll fly closer to a river's flight path for quite a while.

MVP Amp replaced my Rivers that i had thrown for years, VERY controllable on anny lines and has enough LSS to pull out at verry end to prevent roll-aways. I never thought i would replace my river.

This was my first thought as well.

150 Champ Leopard

If you buy one in a bright color, and don't like it, I WILL buy it off you. Call it the fanboy guarantee. :|

 

[rocthecourse]

JLS in Millennium(pro) plastic beats in pretty quick to understable plus a Quantum or Sirius one might even be able to replace your Stalker.

 

[Thrake]

I will toss in another vote for the Discmania FD. A lighter s-line will cover any river or leopard shot. If you want to take it farther grab a flat c-line and you can cover 95% of your fairway shots

 

[ThrowinGhost]

Icon Patriot. It is a little longer than a Leopard, and has great glide on it.

 

[Brodysseus]

Pro Leopard.
