R-Pro Boss on a hyzer flip.
 
That looks like some consistent downhill with a lake behind the basket. I am thinking a Buzzz or a Tangent will carry nicely all the way to the basket.

Initially, I thought so too, but there's no water in play... it's a parking lot. Amazing how much nicer it'd be if it was a lake, even man-made.
 
That pin placement isn't used that often, normally its in the cluster of trees to the left. One of those trees has been cut down since the pic was taken. Last time I played out there I got lucky and had a tailwind, put a first run pd about 20 feet short off of a forehand. If there's nobody behind me I empty the bag.
 
Such a fun throw! The downhill drop is pretty significant - probably 70+ feet elevation drop if not more.

I've used a z comet and dx roc to pretty good success on this hole. If you throw a driver you're probably going to be flirting with going OB long, or fading early and going OB across the road. Last time I played the headwind was pretty stiff, and I threw a z predator way out right and flat (to get a turn out of it) and it still almost made it to the road.
