It was Innova'a G Star Wombat for me.....an interesting story behind that one (at least to me).
Several years back a friend and I drove up to Huntsville AL to play the courses in the area. While we were at Brahan Spring Park (one of the oldest courses in the country) we ran into Lavonne Wolfe PDGA 580, he invited us to come by his shoe store (where he just happened to also have a disc store).
I picked up a purple G Star Wombat from the shelf and immediately hated it because it was so domey. My friend loved it and bagged it immediately. After watching him master this disc in about a year, I tried it again and hated it due to the dome.
Wombat is about as neutral a disc as is made, it holds whatever line or angle you put it on. My friend was able to turn this disc around right turn corners using a RHBH throw.
After watching him use this disc for years to get out of trouble, I finally decided, that no matter what, I was going to learn this disc. After several hundred throws, I finally got used to the domeyness of it. Now I am able to use this disc for turnover shots where I would normally throw a forehand shot. My forehand game is hit or miss, I only throw forehand when I am left no other options.
The Wombat has given me those options. A tricky disc to learn, but I will never throw another round without it in my bag.
