Pick up a Star Mako 170-175g. Guy at the local Play it Again Sports basically refused (jokingly) to sell me a Star Aviar, insisting the Mako was a legitimate putter/midrange/approach disc in one. I ended up with a 171g Mako, and damn if that thing does not go exactly where you point it. It...

Broke my own image URL :)

A disc about to drop in for an ace on #1, Kentwood Park, Raleigh, NC. Why the noob in the white shirt is standing by the basket, all I have to say is, "college kids".

RE: CH Firebird (double-bogie...I mean posted)

Absolutely seconded. Firebirds are fantastic thumber discs. I have three of them (169g, 172g, 175g) and let me tell you, they will land where you aim them. The path to get there may be insanely loopy and tree-happy, but once you practice enough, you should be able to weave a CH Firebird to...

Somewhere over 350', using a thumber and a 172g CH Firebird. I put it through the uprights from the back line of the other end zone :)

The first few times I played DG, I threw backhand, and I SUCKED at it. As for power, I'm sorry, I'm not going to perform a modified discus throw on a slab of elevated concrete. Then one day my buddy showed me the thumber (overhand throw, flight plate facing away, grip with thumb and index...

I throw thumbers from a baseball pitcher's stretch, no run-up. For me, Champion Firebirds are the best thumber discs by far. I carry a 169g, a 172g, and a 175g. As the weight goes up, the kick to the left is reduced, the corkscrew tightens up, and the disc takes longer to turn over and drop...

3.00 star(s) Imperfect but charming Lots of ace and birdie opportunities. Lot of regulars. Nice walk in the park, for some holes. Lots of roots and rocks to trip over on this course on certain holes, so watch your feet. Hole 14 is an uphill monster unless you have an utterly reliable and long hyzer...

0 real aces and 6 thumbers that rang chains :( 3 of those passed through the chains but couldn't hold the basket. All at distances of 225' or more. This is in about 6 months of playing. I'd like to say "aces don't matter, it's birdies that win rounds", but that's because I've never...
