Id throw a Zone in the mix, but I dont think it is even debatable... Innova has the best full lineup of fairways, Leopard, TL, Teebird, Firebird, Eagle, Viking, Whippet, Viper but that isnt what I read as the point... Discraft has the best mids but how are they promoting that. Its tough Innova got promotion with their drivers and blizzard plastic with the world record... mids arent flashy..like putters or drivers...

I agree about the mids. If I had to go with only one company for mids it would be Discraft as the Comet is not replaceable in my bag, and the Buzzz is close to irreplaceable.
I think the XS and XL might be candidates for the "Innova Treatment". OOP the mold and re-release it (or a VERY similar mold) a year later under a new and better name.
Yeah I think drivers (both fairways and distance) would be the only problem if I were to switch to all Discraft (not that I would.)
I do see a lot of Nukes, Avengers and their variants thereof on the course. Even though I think the Surge, Force, Stalker and X are their best drivers, I don't see much of them.
But I see tons of Buzzzes. Who needs to appeal to Johnny come latelys when you have a classic?

I really like the Flash as a lower Speed distance driver. But I think I'm a minority

No. But I did start throwing Dynamic because he joined.

Most folks like me who throw an all Discraft bag carry surges and forces. And usually a predator.

A bunch of people in my area throw flashes religiously!

I carry Discraft mids, but I can't even list what fairways or drivers I would use.
Other than a Stalker, I don't know anything about them.

I used to throw a flash...had an ace with it. Come to think of it, 4 of my 5 aces have been with DC.

I think Discraft is doing fine not great but fine.
They solved the TI color problem perhaps a little late.
They made Z Nebulas good, which unfortunately didn't fly like Nebulas bad.
They need more beginner friendly understable drivers. Perhaps a FlashSS and a MantisSS.

Well they have the XL, which reminds me of a disc halfway between Eagle X and Eagle L in terms of flight, can forehand, backhand, overhand, or roll and at one time was a world distance holder, arguably the best beginner driver ever made and is still in several pros bags. Your Avengers are in the speed 9-10 range (same rim as speed 9 but bigger disc so I think they glide a bit farther), the regular is a nice stable to overstable flyer similar to a Starfire or PD, and the SS version is flies like a Sidewinder and for arms under 350-375 probably the best choice for max distance. The Predator flies like a broke in Firebird, though I've heard many are going to DGA Tsunami's instead, and the Flick is a super beefy Monster/Spirit type flyer that has quite a following do to the fact that it's at that speed 10 cutoff for lightweight and you can get the Z's all the way down to 150 which many players keep to have something they can use to learn forehand or overhand. The Nuke and it's variants are the top of the line for distance, the regular Z one reminds me of having a champ Boss or Destroyer that flies like the Pro Plastic stability. These are only the ones I've messed with, the Surges, Mantis and Crank all seem well received, the problem with Discrafts drivers is that people have seen flight charts for years with 3 different categories while the fairway/distance classification other companies have is easier for most players to understand. I was glad to see them revise this recently. It's much like Gateway, driver wise for years all they had was one or two versatile molds and overstable stuff, but now they are coming along nicely with the molds they have added in the last 2-3 years.

MantisSS, compared to the ace race disc, the z mantis is a SS. I for one can't stand what they turned the mantis in to.

I should have said they need new beginner friendly distance drivers. The contradiction that might be. All those discs are good in their own ways, but the new player wants something new and fast. I sell a decent amount of fundraiser Discraft plastic out of the trunk; I can talk a new player into buying a Crank instead of a NukeOS, but they will not touch an AvengerSS.
