I'm thinking that might be my best bet - just get something new and max weight in Champion and see if that'll hold up on our windier days... if not then look into the more stable options. Might snag a DD too to give it a try. Thanks everyone for the replies.
Really depends on the wraith :)
Generally speaking, I can usually expect either a Pro or the Echo star to go 320-350, on a big flex line in the right wind, I can get the Echo Stars out to 375+ but it isn't normal. The Augusta used to handle headwind duty only but it has beaten in I think to a...
So I've been rotating Wraiths through the bag and they've served me well as a distance drive - they fit well in my hand and I'm confident with the throw. However, a headwind fighter they are not. I'm looking to fill a spot in the bag for those days when the wind blows 20+ and you need a...

Main course has water that comes into play on 4 holes and one blind drive that can be tricky to find discs if you get a little off course. I've probably lost 5 discs on that course this year, then another 2 during a tournament at fountain hills... 95% of what I've lost has ended up in water.
Lat 64 Bag won in an raffle $25
18 discs $260 (this wasn't nearly as pricey as I thought even with BB Roc3s, 11x FB, etc)
Merrell MOAB's $90
Pink Nike golf umbrella $20 off the clearance rack
Knock off Nalgene Water Bottle $4
Birdie Bag, liquid band-aid, snacks, etc. $20
Total: $415ish
So I did a search but wasn't finding exactly what I was looking for...
As far as stiffness of the disc, does anyone have a tried and true measure on what colors provide what for the different innova plastics?
That is, if I have a red pro disc, will that typically be softer/gummier than say a...
If I have a wind that my flat Roc3 can't handle, I'll move up to either my eagle X or my Firebird depending on how long of a shot I have. If it's questionable I'll move up to the OS fairway that I know I can trust. I toyed with having a verdict in the bag for a while but found the mold pretty...
+1 for the Firebird for this shot. Not mentioned as of yet but a disc that I love for controlled, finesse, short LHFH approach shots is the SP Breaker from DGA. Not quite as stable as the Zone but a tick more glide. Great controllable disc. Two of my favorites in the bag honestly.
It's probably my mildly beat pro wraith - parked a 380ft hole with that guy at a tournament last weekend. Other disc that seems to bomb (but I don't bag yet) is the VIP sorcerer.
I'll second the "dick move" on this one. I always call when I find lost discs and am super appreciative when I get mine back. People like to rake lakes here in AZ and expect some sort of ransom when they find your disc. Pisses me off to no end.
