I can't throw nearly as far as I once was able to...I put down 260-280 but I can hit 300-350 with an old Scorpion and Viper from time to time. I once was able to get a scorpion 380-400 but that was a long time ago...

Define "fairway driver" for Discraft. They describe the Cyclone and the Stalker as "Extra Long Distance Drivers," distinct from "Long Range Drivers," such as the Impact, and "Midrange Drivers," such as the Comet. I consider both the Cyclone and Stalker to be fairway drivers, but since I can throw my Stalker about as far as anything other than my Katana or maybe my Surge, I wonder if it deserves to be called a "high speed" driver. Maybe we should come up with more clarity for our speed categories?

Not bad, not bad. Maybe try out a lighter starfruit for now.
300-320 with a 170 Star Teebird. Not a whole lot more with my Valks though. :\

I think I would call 1.6 to 1.7 cm rims fairway drivers

I can get 200'+ out of my 165g DX Leopard FH or BH. My favorite disc right now. I've got a 146g Cheetah and a 146g Shark (picked up used for cheap) that I can get almost 200' (and within 5 ft. of each other), BH only though--too much flutter FH. Thinking about ordering a heavier Cheetah to try FH.
I'm closing in fast on 40, and I've got some shoulder damage from sword fighting throughout my 20s, so I try not to overpower my shots. I've only been playing very casually since Nov., so maybe with some practice (and a lot of advice/YouTube vids!) I'll see some improvement.

you know, swashbuckling...
Well ya you are but can still beat these young guys at least two rounds then they will be pushing you around in your wheel chair. haha
Just picked up my first fairway driver (175 CFR Glo Gazelle) finally. I threw it a couple times yesterday and today and got 200' my first couple of throws, but once I started to figure it out I had it going 300' or so (and distance should increase more as it gets beat in I would think).

New at this and having trouble getting the timing and hit. Just can't seem to stop pulling so soon.

Sword fighting: Dressing in real, functional armor and beating on each other--all friendly like, of course. Hell of a lot of fun, especially when you get into big melee battles. Far less dangerous than it sounds, too. Did that for ~12 years, traveled all over the country for tournaments and such until my son was born and we decided to be a one-income family. It was too expensive and time consuming after that.
