Disc you found that was so surprisingly good for a cerain purpose?

[Alexd83]

For instance, i picked up a used 150 champ leopard because i used to have a dx one that was great, was pissed at first bc it was just nasty understable. Then I started throwing approach anny's with it....to magical perfection. This disc will just glide so sweetly and gives me so much better control than trying to hyzer a forehand down and around. Went from hating it to loving it. hope i never lose it, its gotten me out of some tough sitches.

I've only been playing for a year and this disc is what really got me to develop a good mid range anny shot. which is now one of my favorite.

beat to hell champ beast that i got for like 3 bucks. best medium range (200-300 ft) tomahawk disc for me. its so precise, and i can get it to go pretty straight, take a sharp left turn, skip, spike. its really great for getting me out of trouble, and i also really like it for certain uphill holes.

for instance i use it at a local course with has a 250 foot hole with the basket at the top of a decently steep hill. i throw it over the trees, it flips and spikes down. definitely saves me a stroke often.

another weird thing for me was the Katana. I heard you can just get crazy almost unfair distance with em. right (sarcastic). I can throw most of my other drivers farther. maybe i just don't have the arm strength or something, but i get better distance with my wraith, vulcan, and nuke. Katana is really overstable for me and oddly enough i actually use it to great success with 200-250 ft dogleg lefts. Honestly, i cant even throw this disc to the right even when i try hard.

when I first started I only had a roc and an aero putter. a friend gave me a crush and it became my favorite forehand disc. I still use the same one today.

When I first tried Wizards the only thing I liked them for at all was putting, even then I still stuck with my Rhynos. Would of laughed in your face if you told me two years later I'd be able to throw that same Wizard I hated so much dead straight & further than I could toss a driver back then.

 

[Alexd83]

so you can honestly throw a wizard more than 300ft? I absolutely cannot. in general, i don't like driving with putters. but i've seen people have some great midrange throws with the wizard. just not my thing. if its mid range im grabbin my buzzz no hesitation.

 

[Mike C]

Yup. I hated driving with putters at first too, they felt really weird in my hands. Got used to it eventually though.

I would say my most 'throw/line specific' disc is the Firebird - which serves as my 'thumber' driver. Extremely predictable 250-300ft thumbers that end up landing perfectly straight from where they are thrown. This was my longest 'shot' in my first few months of playing, but I can now backhand further - but not with the same accuracy a good overstable OH can provide. I use a 12x Champ FB and enjoy watching how the OH's wear the plastic down (even strong plastic like Champion).

 

[Mind Expansi0n]

My Wizard seems to have almost no fade unless forced a bit hyzer - it's an excellent mid-range for me and is actually replacing my Mako in my bag. I love the accuracy of putters.

I throw LHBH, got a beatup 148G Stingray, my only disc that will naturally turn left for me.

 

[Emoney]

I got an esp predator and at first it was a meathook for me (rhbh). So i decided to break it in a little with my forehand and it has become a great control hyzer driver and a dead straight forehand driver. Love it.

 

[atxdiscgolf]

Found a sweet CE Firebird at the course, no name no number, noone on the course. It was suprisingly good at selling itself on Ebay :hfive:

Try another Katana, the 171+ tend to be meathooks. Under that has been golden for me.

I have a katana for the same thing, works like a charm on a few holes I play

one of my first discs was a 171 DX leopard... I liked it and then tossed it aside after about 4 months looking for the "bigger drivers".... fast froward a year or two and now that i understand what i am doing this disc has been my go to disc when i need to hyzer flip something and keep it going right (RHBH)...this disc is so money i hope i never lose it.

 

[Doupie620]

Traded with a friend for a BEAT UP MS Aurora...it has been a round saver for me...instead of +25, I can get good midrange shots and go +10. I know I suck, but I suck LESS with this helpful disc.
