ESDS marked Echo Star Destroyer, good and seasoned down to 6 or 7/10. Throwing with a 20-25 mph tailwind I skipped one off a track surface and picked it up about 565 feet from where I threw it. Far and away the longest throw I've ever had.

Did I mention its 150 weight also?
I think I have a serious problem with wrist roll over believe it or not, and the problem with relying on flipping everything is; for some discs, sometimes you are on and it flattens out and does what its supposed to; other times you are off and its way off.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN... been there, done that. I like light and flippy, but they can be unpredictably squirrely buggers, and when they get away from you, they can really get away.

Yeah. Im trying to fix it. I think I need to disc up in a way. Not because I think Im ready for the distance; but my thought is if I have opposite of what people get that throw discs to fast for them get, maybe I need to do what discing down does for them.

domey pro, champ or star wraiths. I can get valks out a little farther though, but I often end up turning them over when I go for distance

Here in Las Vegas NV it's been windy (today 20-30mph) most of the time! I got a really killer drive with my Star Vulcan into a cornering headwind today! I still get a little more distance with the Vulcan if i throw it good, a little S-shot with no wind. Other than that its the 150gm Champion Leopard in my bag.."best all around driver, IMHO".
Backhand - 172 ESP Nuke or 169 Star Katana ... hit 450' with them both a couple of times, but consistently they'll go 400' or so (usually go with the Nuke ... but it's getting beat in to the point where I might have to switch over to the Katana or buy a new Nuke)

It's pretty close between my beat-to-hell 175 Pro Wraith and 171 Star SL. It depends on the wind which one I throw (SL is more overstable). I am actually throwing my Champ Starfire really far right now with a flex (all RHBH).
If I am throwing FH, my FL goes as far as anything, but that isn't saying a whole lot (only 275'ish).

my green tie dye CH valk which i found, which I don't actually use in my bag. If I ever used it, i'd lose it immediatley because it blends in so much with the grass and dirt.

I have really been bombing my 167 bottom stamped star destroyer. i think i'm going to look for a slightly heavier for flex shots.
I am surprised more people haven't said star or pro destroyer.
