Hey Guys,
I'm a recovering disc-hoarder who took some time off for family stuff (2-3 years)... Upon returning there are more than twice as many disc companies and lines as there when I took my hiatus. I don't necessarily have the time anymore to go out and test 50 different discs, so I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. I've seen all the flight charts out there, so I have a sense, but with different plastics/mold inconsistencies/etc, I thought Id just ask.
My bag has been pretty set for a few years with the exception of one spot.. strait to over-stable midrange... Something that can handle a little wind go strait and fade as it slows.
Details:
-Live at altitude where things are more stable.
-I prefer higher end plastic (z/CE/champ) that I can use as flippies when older. New Gold Latitude platic and 11x Teebird with wavy color are some of the better plastics in my opinion.
-I have 400+ distance with my teebird and 325+ with my Wizard.
Current discs: Champ Boss, 11x teebird, beat CE QJLS (river to replace when necessary), Z comet (newer and flippier), Wizards (Newer and flippier). (drones and spirits on windy days).
Discs I've tested:
-Squall really liked this disc. Was in the bag for a bit, but is there something better? (most flight charts have these as understable but I find them fairly neutral?
-Buzzz also liked this....want a bit more fade/wind resistance
-Old mold element ... too much overlap with comet.
-Champ Roc - Too overstable at max weight.
-Wasp - Just didn't work for me
OK, so I think I understand most older Discraft, Innova, millenium and Gateway... with the new companies, what is the "teebird" of midrange?
Thanks in advance,
Jon
