I throw about 300-325. My progression was Leopard, Sidewinder, Valk, then Orc. Now I cycle Orcs but still carry a star SW and a 157 Sail for high elevation.
Played today, not gonna tell which course. I was waiting in my car for a threesome to tee off the first hole. I saw 3 extremely long, intense, and amusing pre-shot routines. These guys were decent and out for blood. I love this game.
At 280, I would go with a champ sidewinder with some dome. The eagle will work into a headwind. When you pass the 300 mark, star orc for headwinds and sidewinder for the rest.
I'm ok with par 4's but do it right. Design the hole as a par 4. Make it a challenge to hit the fairway. A good shot increases your chances of making birdie while missing the fairway takes birdie out of the picture. Don't just change a 550 foot hole to a par 4 because too many people are crying.
This is ball golf mentality. Trying to put up a number that defines who we are and measuring ourselves with others. This is disc golf. It's hard enough smoking a bowl every 3 holes and trying to keep score. Everything under 700 feet is a par 3. :)
