[Drivers] Help, the beast is flipping.

[Knockahomalc]

I got a dx beast in a lot buy off the bay and liked it for two throws. The problem is I throw it when I need a shot that fades to the left and apparently it is not made to do that. It flips over beautifully on a nice anny line, but if there is any kind of wind it flips and rolls like crazy. What is a similar disc that is better in the wind and will not flip? Thanks.

Knock.

Worn beast in any plastic aren't great into headwinds, is your dx new?

How far did you throw that dx beast when it didn't flip and go roller?

Also, prices in our MarketPlace are generally less than eBay.

Get a C-Line PD

^ this disc will crash dump fade left RHBH if you can't throw your beast over 300' but will crush 20mph headwinds even at 400'.

Beasts are supposed to flip, move up a notch or buy a premium plastic beast, I have never seen a DX beast that didn't roll over and die at high speeds. Champs are fine for what you want.

And if you want super beef, find a flat champ one!

Get yourself a champion and if the PLH and flight plate is good get a Blizzard Champ.

Star plastic is really nice,but I have found some that are pretty darn flippy.

My normal advice for anyone who has been playing for as short of time as you is to play more with Mids and putters until you can consistently throw your Mids over 200' then try a neutral fairway driver like a Leopard until you can throw it over 300' before trying something as fast a Beast. Fast discs often mask form flaws and with poor form your accuracy will suffer so your scoring will not improve as quickly as learning to throw properly.

Sorry to be that guy and check out Disc Golf Review forums too, they helped me lots.

Bonus points to Knock IF he has any idea what PLH is

learn the hyzer flip first. control the beast inside you. well not over 15mph headwind.

I would check out a Star Orc. Start out more overstable, and break in to be good straight flyers.

My beat in DX Beast is even flippy for my rubber-arm. That's the nature of the Beast.

I have a blue dx beast that flips easily in a tailwind. When I throw it with a hyzer it'll flip up and turn over, never coming back left. I also have an orange champion beast that never flips over. It will in a headwind of course but when I'm throwing in a tailwind, it'll glide for days. It's currently favorite disc. =)

Listen to this advice. It's better to start slow and learn proper form from the start than to develop bad habits that could make you have to start over completely to break.

Put more hyzer on it.
My DX Beast is used for long turnover drives, as a lefty I'll release it at 75% power and let it flip up right away and watch it turn over and sail gracefully.

Too much power or not enough hyzer and it turns and burns.

a beast not in DX....star or champ with a good flat dome preferably.
and a beast is made to fly many many different lines depending on the skill level of the player. for some they hyzer, others their straight, and some they flip. all depends on you. its a good disc tho, and if you liked its brand new flight, then stick with a premium plastic one.

I have never seen a DX beast that didn't roll over and die at high speeds.

I wish they had never listened to schultz and had just made him a new disc. the original beast was so cherry. sigh.....

 

[crater77]

I have a DX Beast 175g and I have to hyzer it a ton. But when I do it flips up, turns and fades back. Makes for a deep, deep drive. Problem is, if I screw up that sucker will turn hard right and never come back. I only throw the Beast when I have a ton of room to work with and need something long.

 

[Knockahomalc]

That is what I want it to do. I only throw it when the hole is fairly open. I don't throw it at the more wooded courses.

 

[pnasalberta]

Depending on how far you throw i would get a PD in one of the 3 plastics. If you throw far get a C-line if you are throwing average get a S-line and if you dont throw very far get a P-line.

 

[IcyWynter]

What about Star Beast? Any better or DX Beast better? I just recently acquired Star Beast which I haven't tried out.
