Favorite Forehand Disc

[Trashthrasher]

Teebird / Leopard / XL.

I have no forehand, but voted Flick since I just got 2 to try out. It is about time I learned at least enough of a forehand to get myself out of some tight spots. I also have a Firebird and Banshee I use for thumbers as backups. If you are in the Raleigh area this weeked beware of errant Flicks flying around. It could get ugly.

Leopards have worked well in the past, but havent had one in a while

 

[Pete Kwaz]

I mainly drive backhanded but when I have to switch to a forehand I'll use my Z force for max D but I have a beat in star firebird for forehands that I want a bit more control on. I find that if I throw surges forehand they flip too much on me.

Zone or Flick. <--- See that... period.

FTR, still Starfire. It may be the only disc I haven't successfully replaced for something.

....

For noobs.....
Predator - It's what you want in a Firebird.
It's a distance driver that fades; not a mid range that fades.

Distance:
New (Star) Katana: WOW distance.
New (Pro) Boss (or Wraith)

Short Range: Gator
All around 250' or less FH Disc.

My entire bag is thrown both forehand and backhand. But if I have to pick, teebird or crush.

orc for a nice straight tunnel shot . and my destroyer for a long bomb!

 

[AdamCaudle]

Right now I'm flicking with the Banshee, but I'm about to throw a firebird in the bag and see how that works as well.

 

[gcr_russell]

I'm a FH Dominant player, throwing BH a 350' absolute max, but a FH 450+.
The Boss is for when I want more than 390' ending on a hyzer or a skip.
The X-Cal is for a long hyzer, or headwind 350' and up.
The Destroyer is for tight turnover lines, especially through tunnels (as rarely as I play a course with any), I'm learning to get past the destroyer because my Orcs will do close to the same thing with a little less distance.
TeeRex is my new go to FH disc. Remember when you beat your first Firebird in just enough to not meathook and fly super consistently. Remember how good it felt to watch it fly those lines. Add some distance to that without the work and you have the beautiful TeeRex.

 

[JMONEY]

Flash works for me.

 

[LeewayeDiscGolf]

171 Star Wraith is my main choice, but the Crush gets used quite a bit too

 

[sillybizz]

150 Flick.

 

[McLeod]

Champ XCal

 

[Jukeshoe]

Groove. *sigh*

Anyone flick a DGA?

I am not a flick player, not as good as I'd like to be anyway, but I am working on it. The DGA Tsunami just flies out of my hand effortlessly. I've got a 50 foot shot from my mailbox and I drilled the chains with a flick the other day. It might just make it into my bag for that shot. I love to throw anny but there are just some holes that are much easier throwing flick.

I've tried flicking star destroyer, boss, firebird, SOLF, valkyrie, of that list I guess Firebird is probably the most consistent, just don't get the distance that I'd like to get.

Let me know if you like DGA to flick, thanks

 

[gcr_russell]

The tsunami is a very nice disc to flick, I've only thrown my FH around a dozen times but it's been super nice and predictable each of those times. Not sure about other DGA but the tsunami definitely seems undersppreciated.

I love to flick the Groove, I am a little unusual in that I place my middle finger on the rim of the disc and my index finger on the plate. The Groove feels real nice with my middle finger in the groove and I can control it really well

Just started trying one of these myself several weeks back. Like a slightly longer pred with a bit less HSS and a little less fade. Nice so far--definately has potential.
