As you throw an ion.... i'm going to assume that it functions like your short range fairway driver, and thus eliminating anything under a speed of 3. I would normally suggest any sort of putter(esque) options like the Rhyno, XD, Dart or Ion.
In your case, i'd suggest a Newer Buzzz, a lighter...
A few questions for blizzard throwers -
I've tried a few, and i can't say that they will change my game, but i can say that they have the potential to open up the top end of the distance (range) for me. It seemed to me that they were very wind affected, and required a fair amount of lateral...

Techinical but Fun
Fun technical course. Challenging for all skill levels. Plays close to the 300' mark on most holes. Requires a variety of different shots and use of line shaping. Most holes offered FH, BH and Overhand shot lines. Good use of terrain and rolling hills.
Like most technical...
i can understand your sentiment. In a better economic times I don't expect to sell my discs. As a result, I made it easier for me to find as I play primarily during the day.

I've found that i tend to use 2 complimentary discs in the various ranges. As a generalized method, this works well for me as i throw FH and BH - I do have to carry a few extra discs to cover the full range of discs, but these are the couplets i've found work well for me and cover most shots. I...
Here is my mentality:
*It depends on the intended use and what you are trying to accomplish.
As i throw FH and BH, a lot of the intended purposes of an U/S are lost.... but...
If you want it to be a "straight[er]" disc, go heavier than your base or keep it on the "new" end of wear.
* The...
I do not necessarily endorse (or throw) any of these... but these are the ones that i see that have (or do) make the most difference and are true "classics".
1) Roc - Probably most versatile disc made.
2) Aviar - #1 selling disc.
3) Buzzz - So darn good at going straight.
4) Teebird - So...
I recently had a discussion/debate with a few guys while waiting to tee off... The premise of the discussion was simply... Do the specialty run discs really make a difference?
It was interesting i got 5 different answers and contrasting views.
- "They can, but it's the thrower not the disc."
-...

Absolutely Unique!
Almost every hole is a one of a kind! Almost every hole is attainable for a thrower with a 325' arm. Truly an amazing experience. Creates an "adventure" in disc golfing more than a simple stop by experience.

i know you are pro, and i respect your status on this forum, but your words are fundamentally incorrect. Physics proves this.
Taller guys get more arm whip and mass transfer (potential to kinetic energy). This is why baseball pitchers tend to be 6'2" or taller (same with professional qb's.)...
you are absolutely right....
but my "weight" chart is a very basic way of helping guys "start" closer to their correct ranges.
Your argument only works if someone has the requisite skill to throw. Mine is a generalization of where (typically) someone will end up or should start. It helps them...
How far are you currently throwing your sidewinder? How far are you throwing other discs? (As you want to lighten up, i am guessing you have a lighter frame - short, super skinny, young, etc.)
The drop from 171 to 163 is such a drastic extreme that i am not sure that you wont go from "too...
