[Recommend] Glidiest, Straightest, Speed 10ish Disc?

[DiscAnarchy]

My initial thought when I read the title was an Inertia. However, it sounds like you want to hyzerflip it more, so I would go with the Insanity.

Such a great combo, Inertia and Insanity.

Glidiest was a requirement. Overmolds need not apply.*




*I bag lots of overmolds.

I would just hyzerflip an R Stag and let it skitter up to the basket. You don't need a speed ten your just need some glide.

Plasma Insanity is the glidiest distance driver I've ever thrown.

Thanks for all the replies.

I have an old Star Roadrunner that's pretty stable and a Star Valk that's not so stable. Both of them are used bin discs that I picked up cheap on a whim. I haven't spent much time with either, but they've both flown right at 400' for me(my max for bh throws) on high anhyzers just screwing around in a field. It's probably time to learn the ol' hyzer flip.

If I can't find success with either of those, you guys have given plenty of alternatives to look into. I especially like the roller idea. I hadn't thought of that option, and it's another that I need to learn.

Hyzerflip a Roadrunner.

 

[hugheshilton]

Star TL or lighter weight beat in Star Teebird would be my choices.

 

[PMantle]

I wouldn't call 7 10ish.

 

[Keller]

And I wouldn't think you need 10ish to throw 320ft

 

[Streets]

Hyzerflip a Roadrunner.

Thread's done. Go home everybody.

 

[Audible Vibration]

Kastaplast falk would be a good disc for that shot

 

[ILUVSMGS18]

P-PD (RIP) or Pro Thunderbird especilally once seasoned.

Well I apologize for having a noodle arm, but I can't quite get a teebird to this basket while also keeping the disc eye level throughout its flight. Give me a wide open fairway and I can push one out to 350', but not on this hole.

I wasn't criticizing you or your arm.My comment was to PMantle.

I can only throw as far as you too and for me it's not about the speed of the disc. I still think the best disc for the shot you describe is a seasoned DX Teebird, FD or a Roadrunner on a hyzer flip. I'm sure there are others, but these are what I'm familiar with.

 

[jjmiller]

Thanks. I plan to give a roadrunner a try ASAP. I'm still doubtful a teebird or fd would get me there, since I've already failed to get a teebird3 all the way to the basket and only with a reasonably strong tailwind have gotten a leopard3 there. Hence my original post, trying to get suggestions on something that might go a little further than a Leo/TB, but still with a mild finish and not much turn.

Like Moose said, you need something with wicked glide that is still stable enough to finish. Like a Stag or a Phenom. A faster disc is not likely to give you that low forward pushing glide that a slower disc will. I have the best results with a Phenom on low liners. A Falchion also is a very good answer and at speed 9 it fits the description you provided. Escape also can do this shot but I find the Falchion easier to throw on a low line because of the flat disc profile.

 

[Keller]

I hear you. That's why a recommended the DX Teebird, they have amazing glide and only get better the more they're beat in. I have lot's of Teebirds and none fly as straight or as far as a DX

 

[jjmiller]

Alright, thanks guys. I've only been playing for a few years, and only been throwing backhands for a couple. Just the last year or so is when I've started to even get much differentiation between mids and drivers for distance. I'm still learning a lot.

 

[Ender175]

Star TD, it's a roadrunner bottom with the discmania top, which excels for tight lines

 

[SD86]

I've seen some really good answers so far. My question in reply to your question is : how far do you throw in the open, i.o.w. what kind of power (and snap) do you have?

On my home course is a hole where one throws from a teebox in the open into the woods, slightly uphill, with increasing obstacles (trees and brush) guarding the basket, with a distance of 290 ft. or so. I generally throw my Star TL or S-FD and bite off a chunk of the distance, then go for the long putt/approach shot.
