[Discraft] The "Buzzz" of drivers?

How about these? Vision, Stalker, Sidewinder, Roadrunner, Beast, Valkyrie, Vulcan, and River.
 
Leopard or work your arm up a bit and learn how to tone it down when needed. How far are you trying to go? I play most rounds around here with a leopard, eagle, wasp, meteor, putter. If I need to go 450'+ out comes the destroyer or if I need to fight some wind out comes the max. I guess a beat destroyer might be what your looking for or a wraith, maybe a beast or orc
 
Really depends on your power level. All drivers are going to fade more than a Buzzz when they slow down, so unless you're crushing fairway drivers 375'+, most of them are not going to straighten out like a Buzzz will at 300'. The easiest fairways to straighten out are the JLS, TL, XL, Cyclone, Gazelle, and so on. PDs and Teebirds require even more power to get a Buzzz type line, and you really have to crush them to turn them over a little bit and prevent the fade from taking them off line and skipping away at the end of the flight.

I agree with this completely. What I use is a Teebird and for even longer straight shots a Viking. YMMV.
 
What about an Avenger? On flightanalyzer it looks like the Av goes like 80ft. further than the Buzzz.
 
I gotta go with the s-PD as well. Beware though, it needs a braking period to get to it's controlable sweet spot imo. When I first threw it, I found my 175ish s-pd to be a little to overstable, but once broke in, it's my most dependable disc. It flexes back nicely from an anhyzer line and will keep a nice hyzer angle for a while. Very good in the wind too. As far as comparing it with a Buzzz (3 z by the way), well, it's almost twice as fast of a disc, so yeah, it fades more. But the good thing is that it's not twice as hard to control, you can shape many lines with it.
Take the time to beat it in though (or buy a couple of p-line)
 
Another vote for the Stalker.
 
I thought by now that some one would've said that the Roc was the Buzzz of drivers...
Maybe find a Discmania FD.
Its one of those in-between discs; just a tiny baby rim on it.
 
I think the Buzzz is the Biggest tweener disc of all time (IMO of course). I do like them but I can really get on them and trust them to go far. That being said they lost out in my bag because I throw Leopards further without as much power (fairway driver yes I knw) makes sense right? Ill go with Bmast on this one try a Leopard.
 
how far are you throwing the buzzz and teebird? i seems like faster discs that have that 0 or -1 turn also have harder fade. and usually beating them in knocks the hss out but leaves the lss. might want to try that pd it seems like half this board recommends it.
 
If you're looking for something a bit faster than a teebird I'd look at picking up an S TD and a S PD. New out of the box the TD does what you're looking for, it's really straight without a lot of fade and works lines well. Aside from throwing something wide rimmed for max distance I get the most consistent distance with a TD on a hyzerflip. The PD will have a fairly harsh fade brand new, but use it as a utility disc for a while to season it up and soon enough it will become the disc you're looking for.
 
Opto Saint or max weight Beast. Beasts can be a little touchy, but I find them quite effective for low fade hyzer, straight, or long anhyzers.
 
It's a newer disc but the DGA Undertow is one of the straightest drivers I have ever thrown. They can be form-sensitive but they will go any route you want them to when thrown correctly.
 
I'm a big fan of STD's.

Here's one of the best suggestions. The OP said a straight shot is a requirement and the PD needs beat some to achieve that. The TD is longer than a teebird, will hold a hyzer, goes straight, slight annys, hard annys, flex shots, and its a good roller. Heavy winds is the only time a TD has trouble. TD, Buzzz, putter should cover it all.

No, no, no, no, old mold maybe, only when brand spanking new maybe, no, and no.

A Buzzz-like discs needs to be very HSS with a forward pushing fade, IMO. All those discs above can be thrown straight but they've got some turn in them. Teebird is the most Buzzz-like driver to me but sounds like OP wants something faster. PD and Striker are good options, some Orcs and some Z Surge SS'es, some run of the QOLF probably, I don't know.

I don't really see the point of a Buzzz/teebird type for distance b/c I prefer to throw on a hyzer flip (something a little understable) or a flex line (something a little overstable) and that disc is neither.
