If you are throwing a teebird 300" and throwing a wraith 300", what would possess you to want to throw the wraith besides a headwind? Curious.
I can throw a Teebird 350'+ and I can throw a Destroyer 450'+.
If im looking at a hole that's 350' but has a low ceiling and I need a skip at the end, then I'm throwing a destroyer.
Also please tell all the pros that throw Destroyers on 300' hyzer holes that they don't know what they're doing.
My go-to Distance discs are:
Champion Terns - I have a few of them.
Champion Valkyrie - the rim is oddly warped but it still goes far.
Champion Krait
DX Teebird - don't have to throw it as hard.
I can throw a Valk farther than a Tern. It's my understanding that this is because a disc like a Valkyrie is easier to "get up to speed" because it's a lower speed disc. Maybe my understand is wrong, but it doesn't really matter. All that matters to me is that I get more distance out of a Valkyrie than a Tern.
.
I cannot, and I throw neither 400. Other than an unpredictable Air King that gets me in trouble more often than not, Terns are the longest discs I've thrown.
It depends on if the current max D is 300-330, or 330-360+. That likely indicates if there is much snap happening, along with other issues.
Not to feed the high speed driver war that is happening on here...I just think that if the range is in the 300-330 area high speed discs will just be more nose angle sensitive and tend to have a larger fade than intended, even if they are of the Vulcan/Tern/whatever understability (never thrown an unLace but I've heard they are very US...so not sure on that one). In this case I would maybe say a Saint. They are fairly nose forgiving compared to speed 12+ and go quite straight after they've hit some things. Easy 350' on low lines and mellow straight-ish.
If the distance is 350+ then the Saint is more of a long/easy fairway driver to me (albeit wind sensitive), so I would say more the Tern type disc to get the distance into the next driver category. It's been recommended in this thread enough that there is something to it. Vulcan seems a little touchier but it goes far if it behaves. I have also thrown worn in Havocs that go on nice lines but they seemed pretty sensitive...I have never thrown a fresh one so I don't know how much time they took to get that flippy. I would still stick with the Tern suggestion, unless there is access to a beat up Destroyer or other OS driver that flips. That will be close to the same D as the Tern likely, but more consistent.
