I never would have found RPM discs if I didn’t get the “Piwak” in a player’s pack from a recent tournament. I put the disc aside for the tournament weekend, but told myself I would try it out afterwards. I have a few rounds in with it now, and my god... it’s glorious.
Brand new - it flies like...
I am a longtime Roc thrower (I currently bag 4 KC's, a champ Roc and a Star Rancho Roc). I have primarily thrown KC Rocs in my time. Brand new (12x and newer), they can start fairly stable. Straightening out in a month isn't unreasonable - it would matter how much you're throwing that one disc...
I have a couple Star Rancho Rocs. They started out as "freakish beefcakes", but then after a month (almost all of a sudden) it flattened out to a straight thrower. It was kind of weird how one day they were fading hard and then flying completely different the next.
I kind of miss their...
Honestly I don't know: I try to empty my mind when I throw, but I always make sure I reach back and take my time bringing the disc through my body to follow though. Before I throw, I aim for a landing zone - that usually impacts the power level of the throw. That's more of a subconscious thing...
No matter the distance of the hole if there's a tunnel shot or a gap I need to hit, I'm almost always going to throw a Roc or an Aviar that I know will fly straight and land flat without much variance left or right. I usually throw a slight hyzer that will flip-up to flat and drive forward...
I'll use the scoober if I need to throw over a bush or some other obstacle. I see it kind of opposite of the turbo putt, which I use for the same reason. I'm right-handed, so a turbo putt starts high-right and finishes forward. A scoober for me will start across my body, high-left and finish...
If you're looking for specific discs, I recommend following some of your favorite suppliers/manufacturers on Twitter. Sometimes they will post before they are about to release a series of discs on their website. You have to be quick about it. It's the only way to get tour-series discs nowadays...
There's always been an initial negative reaction to companies trying to make money in the disc golf community. I'm not sure why we resist it. Do we not want to support those in the community that are literally evolving the sport? Perhaps it's because Disc Golf has traditionally been very low...
I like the Anvil suggestions.
I'll also add the Caiman to the mix. People say it's just a beadless Gator, but I've found it's a little less stable and flies farther than a Gator. I would recommend Star plastic.
I've been experimenting and expanding my bag lately. The most notable difference is the transition from KC Rocs to Champ Roc3s. I've enjoyed throwing these lately, because I feel like I can grip them better and throw them father. It might just be a mental switch. Also noteworthy is the expanded...

Diverse and Challenging
This is a review for the long tees:
There are many "pros" to this course, but my favorite is the variety. There are short holes, there are long holes; there are open holes, there are wooded holes; some are straight forward, but some can be very challenging. In all, a...
Hey! Great course. <3
From the long tee (par 4) I always play RHBH Roc to the landing zone (250'-or-so, don't want to go too long or too short), and then RHBH turned-over Leopard to the pin.
The short tee is actually way more difficult as a long par 3! You have to throw nearly 450' to get to...
I'm always amazed when I watch Rick throw his Pigs +300' on a hyzer-flip line. I know he's worked his in over time, but I can barely get mine off the ground.
I'm definitely a "cycler" of discs; I have been for a while. Since I prefer throwing non-premium plastic my discs beat-in faster for me, which means I buy more of that particular disc. Therefore, I have a good stash of KC Rocs and Aviars. The Wraith is my go-to driver - I have 3 Star Wraiths and...
