Driver for annies with some height?

[Darth Anovin]

If a need a drive that goes left to right (rhbh) I throw my Roadrunner. I love that disc when throwing a low anhyzer, but I'm having problems with it if I need a good amount of height on the shot. It seems like if it gets over 25-30 feet off the ground it just stalls out and fades left. Is there a better disc out there for this type of drive? Or is it a technique issue? Or both?

Learn to throw forehand :thmbup:

In my experience, a worn overstable disc is good for this kind of shot. Although, my experience is throwing forehand annies rather than backhand. I have a worn xcaliber that I can put a big anny on, get it up in the air and watch it sail on a steady right to left line. For shorter shots ones, I have a DX Whippet that behaves similarly.

It is tough for most people to get a driver that high and still be able to hold the annie. Maybe try a teebird or leopard.

 

[Clempson13]

try forehand or a really exaggerated angle of release? to get that much height you are probably putting the nose of the disc at a pretty steep angle causing it to peak out and fade right.

esp flx avenger ss

Try an esp surge thats what I use for this shot it works perfect

 

[cmcolomb]

esp flx avenger ss

i use a Z for the OP described shot - but the ss avenger is a great disc!!!

little nose up on my beat Z, high sweeping anny, holds it nicely

could be some technique issue, OP - try to stand up straighter and force the anny line out of your hand

 

[adoubleudisc]

I throw a leopard on that shot

I use a beat to you know what champ sidewinder. Once a disc is that beat in it just annys forever no matter what height you throw it at.

Agreed.

 

[OcDiscGolf]

Personally, i go for a super beat in Star Valk or R Pro Boss for this shot. The key is the disc being beat in just like RTS said.

 

[chickenonabun]

The disc isn't the problem, you just need to keep the nose down even when throwing high, and that will keep it in it's turn.

FH annies with an XCal? I wouldn't think that disc would be good for annies at all.

 

[Dsplayname]

Anything forehand is possible with an Xcaliber. I would suggest a River, or Stratus though. I used to use a Stratus, but now I love the River. Just don't over shoot the pin with it, as they glide forever.

Yup, doesn't work well with new ones. But the one I have that is nicely seasoned holds that anny line really well.

 

[Johnny Conservative]

I use an Elite X Xpress. or if I dont need it to go too far I use an Elite X Comet.

 

[DangeRuss]

I suggest a River also. I use one for almost all of my annys. A lighter GL might do the trick.

What kind of distance are you looking to get? I typically turn to a Star Stingray - for anything 250 and above that needs that steady left to right turn (RHBH) without coming back - at a lower speed it will still hold it's line better then a driver (Roadrunner, etc.). That said, a Roadrunner can do this as well for longer distances, but needs it's nose down...the Stingray is a little more forgiving.

 

[prettyboyfloyd]

I use my star katana for this, especially for distance annys. You have to rip it, but if you throw it flat it'll do it for ya.

Sidewinder.
