Favorite Forehand Disc

[skurf]

As I work the forehand into my game, I find myself throwing the Destroyer most of the time unless I'm going for a constant hyzer/skip shot, then I'll throw the Flick. These discs are working pretty well so far, but I was wondering what others prefer to throw forehand and maybe I'll pick one up next time I'm at Disc Nation.

Champion Banshee

 

[biscoe]

mostly the destroyer

Currently throwing just gazelles and stalkers.

Best forehand disc ever IMO is the Sinus AP...the damn thing just grips right.

 

[DGChronicles]

champion beast...

 

[ChaseTheAce]

Firebird and Destroyer

 

[simpletwist]

I drive almost exclusively LHFH. That said my favoeite depends on what I want it to do.

Max distance - Champion Groove (too bad it's NOT maximum accuracy)
Into the wind - Star Destroyer
Long with a hard left hook - Elite Z Flick
Long and straight - Firebird
Not quite as long and straight - Tracker or Teebird

Long and right ESP Surge SS FLX. But over the past 2 weekends that Surge is becoming more and more useful. And I'm almost getting the distance I get with the Groove with a little more accuracy or at least consistency. So I chose the Surge. I've tried the Wraith, but didn't care for it much.

I've also had some good success with a Champion Orc and Champion Beast.

I mostly use the Reaper or Crush. Lately, I have also been using with some success the Sirius Orion LF. I really like the feel of it.

EXP1, Champ XCaliber, or Boss depending on distance and amount of fade needed.

For forehand drivers, I have yet to find a better driver than the Gateway Spirit. It is an extremely overstable driver than won't turn into a roller unless you do it on purpose. The same stands for the Gateway Demon for midrange flick. I love them!

Definitely Flick...I didn't really have a forehand shot until this disc.

 

[bongripper0420]

I picked other. I use a illusion or groove.

I'm not a great forehand player but I like the dependability of the Discraft Force. Bombs pretty well and won't flip

 

[MooTaters]

Other: Well I'd have to say my champ roadrunner. Since my forehand is pretty cruddy(ever since I started to build my backhand and switched to mostly backhand) I put it at a slight hyzer and just throw it, not loads of power or anything, just throw it.

 

[Technohic]

Flick, but got my 150 Firebird in my "in testing" slot of the bag.

 

[toothyfish]

FH is not my strong point at all, but have had the best recent success with a Champion Starfire.

 

[JRW III]

Banshee

 

[kerplunk]

I voted destroyer but prefer the banshee for shorter shots. And the gateway warrior may be the best forehand midrange ever made.

For forehand drivers, I have yet to find a better driver than the Gateway Spirit. It is an extremely overstable driver than won't turn into a roller unless you do it on purpose. The same stands for the Gateway Demon for midrange flick. I love them!

I also dig the Spirit, and it doesn't seem to flare as much as other super stable discs. In fact in my experience it hardly flares at all. I think it has to do with the shape of the rim- more curved profile than other super stable discs.

I like my valk forhand. i use it for long tunnel shots.
