[Recommend] Best Tweeners

[Dan Ensor]

Those discs that don't quite fit in the "putter, mid, fw, dd" categories ... what are your favorites?

Flick and Squall are in my bag currently. The Squall works as a mid or fairway, and doesn't sacrifice much to either. The Flick, on the other hand, doesn't really work as a fairway or distance driver. But I have so many uses for it as neither that it still finds a spot in my bag.

Do your tweeners fill both slots, or neither?

I use Pures and Harps as mids. Does that count?

 

[brentjacobs]

I love my Classic Rocs, they are great "Driving putters".

 

[bradharris]

Zone is hands down the best "tweener"

Absolutely! Do you find a large gap between them and fairways? If so, do you bag other mids to compensate?

Been messing around with the speed 6 Kaxe lately, both beaded and beadless (Z). Discs with a little more shallow rim seem to work for me better, but the beadless Z version glides nicely. Kaxe is more overstable, Kaxe Z is overall a bit straighter with moderate fade.

My current favorites are the Suspect for the putter/mid slot and the Gazelle for the mid/fairway slot.

Gator ('tween putters and Rocs)
Q Sentinel ('tween Rocs and fairways)

I currently bag a Liquid Metal vaccine from Salient (previously used the DD Suspect in Bio Fuzion or Lucid for this slot) as a tweener betwixt putters and mids. It's pretty OS, but it sidearms well and I generally don't need a carrying anhyzer at the tweener distance.

The Hu, which I also bag, is an interesting tweener: its faster than your average fairway but gets mad understable when thrown with the same power as my PDs, even on hyzer. I do use it as a fairway, I just back off it a little, but if I need a power roller or a long shot that HAS to flip, Hu is it.

I do bag some mids, but at the end of the round, they have gotten very few throws. If I can do it with a Pure or Harp, I do it.

My current favorites are the Suspect for the putter/mid slot and the Gazelle for the mid/fairway slot.

I particularly like the mid/fw tweeners. Discs like the Trident, that have a driver-like appearance (and feel, I'd guess) but act like mids, can be great for people that aren't particularly comfortable with one or the other.

I bought a GM Gremlin, but it's not what i thought it would be. Not gotten a lot of throws with it though, and may give it another go. Interested in the Kaxe and Z.

-Firebirds are concidered a distance drivers, but are shorter than a lot of other disc listed as fairways

-Roadrunners are another distance driver that seem to get suggested for a lot of fairway type situations, they can actually bomb For some serious distance if used wisely.

I carry a Dx Wedge as a stunt disc where I need to run the chains inside 100' on an anny line where there is a tree between me and the basket and a hyzer shot to the right of the tree just won't work. Sure, I could do this shot with a putter but the Wedge just works so well and is so easy to put on a floating anny line that it just has a way of going in. I would be naked without this tweener disc in my bag. Is it a putter? No. Is it a mid? Nope. Does it get me out of jams all the time? You bet.

I love cycling Pigs, specifically the stiff pro plastic version from the Innova Factory Store.

 

[HiFi]

Zone and Storm

Champ Gator is probably my only true "tweener" disc. Couldn't play without it! Shorter than my Roc3s and Mako3, but just so darn predictable.

 

[Um...]

Agree with the Harp.

I consider the Truth to be a tweener. Mid/Fairway.

While I use Envy/Proxy on a lot of holes where others throw drivers and mids, I don't think they're more than "short range drivers". The Suspect is a true hybrid between mid/putter and a joy to use on those days when I don't want to lose my Envy. A bit faster/longer and heavier fade.

The Warship is another that is longer than most mids. It was a bit too finnicky/glidey to be trustworthy as even an understable fairway. Definitely one of many speed 6 mids that are somehow tweeners, while the Leopard has always been a driver.
