How many midranges have you owned/thrown before finding the one?

[Three Putt]

The Roc, Stingray and Cobra came out about the time I started playing. Those are still my main 3 mids.

I still consider the Stingray a "driver." I never got them memo when it was downgraded to a mid. I struggle to remember that the Cobra is a mid now as well.

Actually, there was no such thing as a mid back then, was there? All three were "drivers." Why I have no problem remembering that the Roc is a mid now and I can't remember that the other two are is a mystery. Alzheimers or something.

The Stingray and Cobra were drivers back then, true.

 

[Plastic Thunder]

Well, started with a DX ROC, went through by Buzzz phase, TI,SS, Regular, then I was lost for a while, MVP's next, Tangent, Axis, and Vector. Found an old Comet, nope that was not the one, close though.

I found my girl in a discount bin, paid 4.99 plus tax. A beat-up looking dream disc with lovely features and it goes where ever I want it to. She's a KC Pro Multi Purpose ROC, the hard white stuff. aahhhh, dreams do come true.

If the courses I played today were as short as the courses back then I would still consider all three drivers. One reason being those would be all that's needed off the tee.
Today the wide rimmed, higher speed discs are what I use for driving because the courses are much longer. These three discs now are used for my mids since they are in fact the mid distance discs in my bag.

I don't recall any reclassification of them but then I never really researched it either.
Edit: If you look on the Innova website the Stingray and Cobra are listed as mid range.

Started with a DX Shark, max weight. Lost and not replaced.

Threw a DX Stingray for a while, but that was when the Stingray was considered a driver. Tried a 150 DX Kite, but that wasn't it.

When I started playing regularly I switched between Roc and Buzzz a few times, ending up with Roc and Comet. Replaced Comet with Fuse.

Tested a variety of other mids – Mako Atlas, Coyote, and Warship, but none stuck.

Currently using Truth and Fuse, plus Zone if you count that as a midrange. I am quite happy with that lineup, although sometimes the Fuse is a little too stable for the understable role. At some point I might explore a more understable mid, or maybe just go back to throwing Comets.

There you go – a quarter century of midranges in 138 words.

Like most people, i have tried damn near every mid range, always seem to come back to the buzzz with an occasional Hornet thrown in for some extra stability.

 

[bobmcnelly]

Another vote for, tried tons of midranges but the Buzz stays my go to.

 

[Old Dog]

Started out with a Buzzz but could not get comfortable with the feel of it. Now I use a combination of a Panther and a King Cobra wich seems to be working well for me.

 

[BrotherDave]

I've thrown a majority of them. Started DX Shark, DX Roc, Coyote, Skeeter, back to the Roc for awhile, QMS for a long time, Sentinel, Buzzz, MD2, Comets, Aftershock, Nebula (in and out), Wasp, Vector, Axis, Tangent, Ibex, Fuse (has never left), Pain for a good while, Panther, Spider, Cro, Stingray, Flying Squirrel, and probably more I can't remember. Recently added a Squall which looks like a mainstay. So I don't have the One, I have the Three (Nebula, Squall, Fuse).

Oh, I know that. I was more mocking my behind-the-times mindset rather than saying the Stingray should be called a driver.

I threw Stingrays for a long time, but I don't think of them when I think back on my mid setups becasue they were always in my driver set-up. Stingray-Cyclone-Viper/X-Clone was what I thought of as my driver set-up for a long time. I replaced Stingrays with DX Leopards. If I put Stingrays back in the bag now I might think of them differently, but between Comets/beat Rocs and Leopards I can't figure out what I'd use a Stingray for.

Plus all my Stingrays smell like crayons and I'm afraid to throw them. :\

 

[Monocacy]

Ah, forgot MD2, Tangent, and Pain. Probably a few others, too.

 

[JedV]

There isn't "one" mid for me, but if I had to limit myself to one it would probably be my Glo Z Meteor.

I currently bag my Z Meteor, Z Buzzz, Z Wasp and ESP Drone.

 

[threevok]

My mids. I'm committing (obviously) to Aftershocks and Squalls. The lightweight D-Line Aftershock is close to a Comet, but I'll still make room for a Comet in the bag because they're, well, Comets. When I get some time I'll most likely sell all the Innova and Lat64.

Throw a Cobra in there and that was my set up also.
I currently have two Cobras and a Stingray in my bag, all three are Ontario mold (if you have any you want to get rid of... ). I still have quite a few of the older San Marino Cobras but don't throw one. I love how the Ontario molds are flat and stiff.
I refuse to try them in any other more modern plastic for some reason. I love the old dx Ontario molds.

I carry 3 midranges in my bag:

Buzz SS - Straight to understable shots

Buzz- Straight, with slight fade at the end

Hornet- Overstable shots, and throwing into the wind

 

[iacas]

I started with a Buzzz, and it's still my primary one. I sometimes throw an Axis, and I'll often throw other mids, but the Buzzz is the primary one.

 

[banknwank]

I like my mako III in champ, but if turning a mid shot over is a no no......I like my wasp

 

[FriedInTheDesert]

Shark 150, mako, buzzz, wasp, kc roc, coyote, wolf, super stingray, gator, king cobra, panther, comet, and roc 3.

I like the shark/roc/wasp/king cobra stability paired up with a pure for finesse shots. I don't like the bead on the comet and wasp but i'm ok with it on the roc 3 and king cobra. I have a shark 3 coming in the mail.

 

[CaptainAnhyzer]

In the bag.....
Two DX Flat Top Rocs
Champ Roc 3
Two 1st run Star Makos

I have a couple backup Roc3s, Five 1st run Star Makos and probably 8-9 Flat top Rocs

 

[The dude on the bike]

I never met one I liked. Putters and drivers work fine for all tasks.
