Are there any drivers that go fairly straight with little to no fade that can go about 300ft? Thanks

I need a straight flying driver
- Thread starter Midnightbiker
- Start date
The Avenger SS goes pretty darn straight with little fade for me. I can't throw very far consistently yet but I've definitely gotten it around 270' a few times.

valkyrie. say no more
it all depends on your throw. i agree with thc - a valk is a good choice. that's what i usually throw for long, straight shots. i'd say the throw is more important than the disc, though.
Yup!
I have a Pro Valk that I have been using and for the most part it goes pretty straight, but its starting to drift to the right on me (RHBH throws) . I do have a Avenger SS 170, so I guess I need to go practice with it.
All of lightning discs drivers and flyers go straight
hey Roc1time I finally gave up trying on trying to flatten my shot with regular drivers. I used to max out at 200. With number 1-4 drivers and 1-3 flyers from lightning discs I can now throw 300. the number 1 and 4 drivers and the number 1 flyer are max distance drivers. Numbers 2 and 3 of both are long range drivers. I have found I like weights 169-173. They will add distance. I increased my average drive by 100!!

sorry I meant midnightbiker
If its works for you bubbs then stick too it. Thats what I tell everyone....different strokes for different folks. Find something you like and stick with it...thats why no matter what any Discrap ever makes, I will always throw Innova, just because thats what I learned with and thats what I will throw. So there you go

I love the TL also, but it just doesnt get the distance that I need alot of times. Its the straightest flying disc I own.
On another note, my friend shoots a Pro Valkerie and its the prettiest, straightest flying shot that I have ever seen. Unfortunately, it doesnt do that for me. He has a huge arm, and mine is only moderate.

All I know is I consistently throw a 172g Assassin much further and straighter than anything else that I used to throw (Surge, Beast, Valk), from the first time I ever threw one. Maybe you have a friend who has one you can try. Now that may be because I did not have the power to really unleash those three.
YES YES and YES! I am only sad that I did not say the TL first. Work on your form with this disc and in a short while it will be the one, trust me.

XCal. Hands down. Threw other drivers for a long time, friend of mine handed me an XCal to try... best thing I've ever thrown. I do like my new wraith though... it may be a contender in the near future.

the xcal is a super fast moderatly overstable driver. so is the wraith. i think if he midnight is throw a valk straight and long he might just need to stick with that. If he wants to go faster than he might just go to the beast. its just faster with a little more glide. the groove is the same with even more glide.
I have a champ Beast, and a Star TL. The TL always seemed to fade hard at the end of the flight for me, but I will go out try those this week. I wanted to go tonight, since I have a lighted practice field, but right now we have 26-29mph winds, and I think that will not give me the results I am looking for.
I have head the Beast has good glide.

Discraft's SS avenger and surge in the flx plastic are both really straight discs. I mean, it's right there in the name...

I would say an Orc or a surge. both have similar flight paths for me, but the orc is more consistent for me. I think that is because I am not used to throwing Discrafts ESP plastic. Other than that, if you can throw with a lot o power, My teerex actually goes straight for me if I can keep it low.
