[Drivers] Sneaky long

[Keller]

DX Teebirds in the mid to low 160s.

DX Ontario Cobras, I'm amazed at how far these will go for a mid

Escapes, especially lower weight ones.

I've never had that mush luck with the FD, I think it's just a grip/feel thing, I can't get them to fly any further than a Leopard.

If we are talking fresh discs then I can see people saying FD. To me they just glide well and seem to stay airborne forever going slow (without passing my Eagles).

For fresh discs I say DX Eagles and Teebirds go super far, at least as far out as I can get an FD. Furthest fresh disc that goes further than I would think is a JLS, for a smaller rim they outdrive Teebirds for me and can keep up with my worn in Eagles.

DX Eagle Xs are also bombers. Only Eagle that can compete with them is a seasoned Star EX.

The Ion was one of the 1st sneaky long discs I threw.

Some driver notables for me:
Lace: Insanely long and glidey, unexpected b/c it's rubber.
Gladiator: The Lucid I found (and lost) was surprisingly long to be decently overstable, like a beat in Z Pred. It was lighter though.
Monarch: This disc has a bad rep b/c of the Groove but if you hyzer flipped one just right it'll sail in a tailwind.
S-PD: Certain runs are that longer, faster Teebird everyone jizzes over.
Insanity: Deceptively long for a stable-understable overmold.
Stag: Very similar to that S.EX mentioned earlier, with Nordic glide.
Saint: Uber glide, like Swedish Valks or Beasts.
Sidewinder: Consensus is correct. Easy S-curve D (except for the Champs that fly like Teebirds)
River: One of Latitude's original "Is this disc too long/glidey?"
Explorer: Likes to keep going forward for a decently stable disc.
Heat: Domey Z's love floating forward.

In what weight?

167.79g but if you get the 170.31g+ they are too heavy but if you get the 164.42g or below they are too light but 167.79g ive found to be the best

 

[ryanwilli7]

DX Valks straight bomb.

 

[PMantle]

I am surprised by the trespass responses. I may need to give mine more throws.


My answer would be Sidewinder.

 

[armiller]

Teebird for sure. Any and all plastics.

 

[DanJon]

DX PnA Aviars.

Beat in DX Rocs.

Star Leopards.

Champ Beasts

Mine are 156.76 g, what can I add to get it up to 167.79 g?

paper clips are about a gram. tape about 11 of them on there and you're golden (disregard the weight of the tape).

 

[Streets]

Undertakers are capable of some surprising distance for a slower driver.

FD
TD2

 

[Brodysseus]

Here's an oddball answer for you...the Banshee.

A worn Banshee can ride a flex line for days and still reliably come out of it.

 

[Brodysseus]

Also, DX Valkyries heckin' boom.

 

[jmbo]

Rivers and Pro Destroyers get my vote. Pro destroyers are underrated, they're my go to distance bomber, especially up here at altitude in CO.

 

[riltim]

Scorpius in the M plastic. They seem to go an extra 25-30' further than you think they're going to go.

 

[SonicGuy]

Atom - Very long for a putter, they range the same as Rocs for me. They also have a rippable rim unlike the Ion.

Stingray - These only get play as rollers or turnover mids but a fresh one pumps out to about as long as a leopard for me. I am always surprised when the glide gets it out an extra ten yards further than expected.

 

[jdw80550]

SP Undertows go surprisingly far for a speed 9 disc.

Escapes are a sneaky long disc as well.

 

[brutalbrutus]

Anybody else think its funny people keep saying 12-13 speed drivers are "sneaky" long?...

Well, flippy 12-13 speeds.
