[Vs.] Best Go To Distance Driver for FH & BH (besides Destroyer)

[AceOnBase]

While that may be true, what good does having a farther drive do if you can't hit your putt? Drive for show, putt for dough

Well this is a Go To Distance Driver thread. Also, if you can park all the long holes, tap-ins are a high-percentage shot

I know i need to work on putting, it's my weakness, but this is a game of 3s (short, approach, distance) and I've got 2 so far, BH and FH. Putting will come with time, and Judges

Never tried forehanding a tern, but from the ones I throw I would have to imagine you would have to throw it on the biggest god damn hyzer with some height to stop it from rolling and get a full flight path out of it

Backhand over 425', Forehand over 450'. I can get a video up sometime this week.

video or it didn't happen

but seriously i wanna see this

Trespass for sure! Just lost my workhorse DD :|. I had a 172g pink opaque lucid trespass with a flat top that was slightly seasoned...didn't take into account the elevation change, left it too low, and clipped the top of a bush over a water hazard and stuck it in the drink :doh:...It was one of the toughest losses I've had. Didn't realize how attached I was to the disc until this happened

*So if anyone has a 170g lucid trespass with a flatter top that's 9+/10 I'd be glad to take it off your hands. (I have trades and PP) :hfive: Just PM me!

does the lucid turn a lot?
i have a fuzion that's pretty balanced.
I imagine lucid might not be as good if it's a moderate windy condition

Everybody on the internet can throw 450' forehands. With their putter.

 

[ThomasOrion]

My votes are for D3, Crank, Tern, Nuke. But those are the only ones Ive thrown really. I really like the D3 for everything....and I liked the Crank too, just too pointy and hard for me to hold. But a good disc.

Wraith Wraith Wraith

 

[Bogey H8tr]

Voted for the Xcal because I use it forehand, but the wraith bombs backhand. Star for normal distance drives and pro for line shaping and tailwind. Wraith is a great disc.

 

[Toady84]

Wraith or Orc.

The lucid I had did have some turn, I would say consistent to the numbers at my 400' power, but I could still trust it into a decent wind with some hyzer. I used the pink lucid for everything unless it was more than a 15-20mph headwind. Then I would throw my 174g blue domey fuzion trespass. That thing has held up to 20-25mph wind so far with barely any turn. I'm told that I have a freak fuzion trespass because of how OS it is, but I love it....not as much as I loved my lucid though

Lets see it.

Throwing FH 450'+ with a Teebird is further than most pros with their Destroyers.

I'll have to also ask to see a video of you forehanding a teebird 450 or any disc for that matter. It's hard to believe...

I voted Trespass since I am swapping from Destroyers to the Trespass. Couldn't find Destroyers that were similar. Hoping the Trespass won't be so bad.

 

[ranger]

I'm hoping the same thing. So far it's been oay but there does seem to be a wide variation in trespasses.

 

[stupid trees]

I rock the destroyer's evil twin, the scorpius.

 

[DBdiscgolf]

No love for the Firebird?

 

[Stevo]

Sword

 

[Stable]

Wraith. Should have been on your list.

 

[primal dg]

I voted xcal. Most of the time it is a better option than a tern. II bag a tern for when I want to throw absolute bombs.
The wraith gets honorable mention because if there is no wind I'm throwing a wraith. The wraith is super controllable and a really far flying disc. If you haven't tried one, you will be shocked at how stable it is even at 420-450.
