Am I the only one that thinks the Skeeter is the greatest midrange ever made?

I do the same thing. I use my Stratus for understable midrange shots.

I had a skeeter in my bag for quite some time...problem is when it got slightly broken in <and it was star plastic>, if you put any power to it, it got flippy. If I backed off, it was straight as an arrow. I could have tried going up on weight, was throwing 166g, but ended up finding a brand new champ panther on my home course with no name, so I threw it just for giggles, straight.....threw it hard...straight....so the skeeter came out, panther went in. The skeeter was definately a great disc, I just needed to find what weight works for me
i use a 169 and a 175, but i need something overstable for longer shots. maybe i should try the spider.
i wish there was a place that let's you try out discs
Yeah, you have to be careful of using too much disc. I've met a lot of guys who carry nothing but speed 10+ drivers and maybe a putter, and that leaves a lot of shots where they just don't have a disc to execute. They try to soft toss a long range driver and wonder why it does not work. A Banshee is way too long and fast for a 100 ft shot. It's a driver, so it will have a lot of rotation when it lands and will skip even if you are trying to short-arm it. You have to use a slower discs at shorter range. A Rhyno would be a much better disc for that shot at that distance.If you're considering the spider, also check out the Pig. It's mad overstable for me, but it might be solid as a roc(k) for you.
I had been using the banshee for short hyzer shots, but the pig is now my go-to as it will curl around trees at 100-150 feet and then park, where the banshee would skip out of control.
