DeLaveaga Top of the World, what are you throwing?

[sumo21]

For people that have played this course or practiced on this home, I've always been interested in what you throw down this hole.

-READY
-SET
-GO!!!

 

[Um...]

RHBH = Beat P-PD on a mega hyzer
RHFH = S-PD

Par or birdie if it stays out of the huge tree on the left.

 

[Stardoggy]

Never played Del, but on the same-ish shot at Silver Creek, I usually throw something slightly US, like a Heat, Patriot, or beat Champ Orc.

Roller

 

[Martin Dewgarita]

I threw a buzzz when I played, gave me about a 50' putt.

 

[ru4por]

Comet......nice and smooooth.

 

[mashnut]

DX roc for me, I threw two and had one just outside the circle and one that faded out and left a 75'ish shot.

 

[Skwirly]

Played there once when I was first starting and couldn't putt. Threw a Z Wildcat I had just bought in the parking lot before starting our round. Landed ten feet from the basket, then I proceeded to miss three putts for a bogey.

Depends on the location.

Short I can use a putter or Mid straight at it.

Medium I use an overstable speed 9ish disc, I like my Xcaliber, throw to the right of the tee of Hole 2 and it fades toward the basket nicely if I throw it well. I've watched Johnathan Baldwin practicing on this hole and he took this line as well with what looked like an Aftershock.

Long I would need to throw something straighter and longer to reach it. I've had a birdie with a long turnover shot with a Vulcan, but also thrown into the parking lot, over by 6, or other bad places this way. So I typically play it safer these days.

It was such fun I threw everything in my bag.

I threw a Comet and I think a Teebird OB deep, with the Teebird sailing into the parking lot (turns out it's quite a bit downhill...). Really lucky I didn't kill anyone stepping out of their car.

I'd probably throw a Comet again, maybe at half speed and try and land short of the pin.

When I was there back in '07 or '08, I threw a Starfire, SL, Teebird and a Teerex.

The SL was the only disc that did not land in the parking lot or street....and of course I missed the putt. :doh:

I throw LHBH so it is less of a daunting hole. One of my throws (with a pearly CE Beast) caught the R-to-L crosswind perfectly to flip it over just right and not allow it to come back and it sailed forever.....over the parking lot and almost halfway down hole 1's fairway. I yelled Fore a bunch and people saw it sail over them otherwise I would have never found it. 600' on half power throw.

Just thought about this and last time it was very windy so I threw my Buzzz SS.

 

[tbird888]

Probably a Roc/Wasp. Whichever's in the bag that day. Probably a driver or putter for fun, too.

These downhill shots are always amazing no matter the distance, but even more amazing when something like that happens. AWESOME!!!

I parked it with a beat-up Sidewinder RHBH the on time I played there.

 

[Mixed Bag Madness]

For me it would be a Roc or a PA1. The other "top of the world" hole at Whistler's in Oregon taught me a lot of painful lessons about those types of holes.
