I was wondering what people find helps gain distance. I've been throwing a lot of overstable plastic, I think because it naturally fixes any issues with angle control I have and gives more consistent shots. I'm working on focusing more on angle control. I tend to drive pretty low straight drives and get pretty good distance (up to about 370'). I've been trying to throw some less stable plastic but given my predilection for lower height drives, understable discs tend to turn and burn which can be frustrating. I'm trying to work on higher height throws with less stable discs.
I'm wondering what discs and throw characteristics result in the most distance for players on here?
I max at 265-275', and I use mostly under-stable, light weight discs to get that far (145-150g Terns, Fission Waves, Katana, and Shryke). But, the harder/faster you throw, especially if not great form, the more likely these will flip into the ground/rollers on you. You would probably have to hyzer under-stable discs, and find the correct angle where they flip up to flat, run, and glide. Also, if you can turn them enough, maybe you get the fade at the end to carry you even further (instead of left, for RHBH)? A lot of slow armed throwers say a Mamba is their longest disc, but they probably have to hyzer it, and it can be a difficult disc to consistently land where you want it! At 370', I would not say you have a slow arm?! Shryke is 13/6/-1/2, making it reasonably stable, but still a distance bomber (for the biggest distance, you want the right speed, but also a big glide number). I would think a slightly lighter Shryke would be something you could bomb a long ways - others know? On Innova F2 Friday, try something like getting 3 F2 Shrykes (or whatever F2 distance bomber you feel will work best for you), at maybe 150g, 155g, and 160g (also, whatever weights you think will give you what you are searching for), and fire them up at a practice field! If you go DX plastic, the F2 discs are only $6 each, and using an F2 Friday code, you get a free disc to offset the $6 cost of shipping! But, as I throw further, I use less and less DX - I think Pro plastic is still only $8 each, and trying to remember: GStar $10, Star $12, Champion $11 (or close)? Anyways, good luck, and have fun!
