I have thrown Valks since I began in '01 and max weight Champs are good, but I gotta agree with the VIKING suggestion. I have always thought it is the Male Valk or that a Valk had an illegitimate child with a broken in Firebird.
Another one is the Avenger. I love Predators too, but the...
I'm in the same boat as for distance and I'm a Valk fan. Lately I've been trying out a few Roadrunners, a first run Z Avenger, a first run Tsunami, and some beat in DX Valks to compare with some Champ/CE/Star Valks that are my meat n potatoes. I am tossing them all within 20' of each other...
Demon-OS Mid that is a beast and lasts forever. Shorter Firebird.
Karma-faster KC Roc
Element-faster dead straight broken in Roc
Illusion-super fast OS driver. very first wide rimmed driver that I remember
Panther is a great "tweener"
I too miss the old DX Panthers. Absolutely my fave all purpose disc for tight wooded courses, and finesse/control/touch shots. The Champs will still work great after some breaking in. I just bought my GF a new S Gremlin and if I closed my eyes I would think...
Rhyno is plenty stable for me. Nice glide, control, lands like a UFO. One of my fave discs. Can use it for all mid shots as well. Straightest flyer for me. Great feel in the hand. Can take a hard rip and not flip.
too much speed will flip a Roc. you can take a beaten to death Roc and flip it up on a fairly long straight line. i agree 100% it requires "smooth clean release". i am not a power thrower at all, but i use a stable Roc for most 150' to maybe 275' approaches. i can still flip it into the...
Agree with the "new Roc" suggestion. Doesn't matter so much which plastic/cost, just that it's new.
I think the Champs are the most for what it's worth. If you like smaller diameters, then you have the Gator, Demon, etc, that are most stable for a mid.
DX or KC Rocs are solid for...
He's got an Element, so get him a ROC. The ROC can be finesse or power driven. That's why it is the GOD of Midrange. I must say the Panther is indeed a sweet truly finesse mid.
Love the S Demon in the eraser plastic. Love Z Preds too. Demon is one of the most forgiving and consistent discs ever. It is uber predictable. I always thought of it as a "go for it" approach disc. It doesn't go very far when it hits. You can crank the bejesus out of it and it won't...
Z Pred is an excellent disc. It will never leave your bag. Super predictable and just sturdy as hell. Always seemed like a faster Firebird to me. I love me some FB's, but Predator is no joke. I kind of like the thinner lip in my hand than the FB. FB is pretty timeless too. I'm too human...
