First off, Hello.
My name is Orion, I'm originally from Santa Fe, NM, but recently (August of 2008) moved up to Fort Collins, CO for college (CSU). I've just recently become interested in Disc Golf. I had played a few times before with relatives in MN and TX, but it never really stuck, then during Christmas break, the family went to San Diego and we played a round on a 19 hole course that was just awesome. I played terribly of course, but I had a blast. I decided that I wanted to pick up the sport and have been reading and learning ever since (which isn't to long).
I'm kind of experimenting with how I will end up throwing, I have a really poor backhand. I'm working on improving it, but I think I'll become a sidearm dominate player. I've always loved overhand throws (both Thumbers and Hammers or T-Hawks), and seeing what you can do with them makes me want to learn to throw them well. I know about the Epic, but have yet to try one (hopefully I can soon). Correct me if I'm wrong, but to me the Epic is more of a super range disc than an accurate short shot disc, and I'm looking for an accurate "short shot" overhand disc to complement the Epic (if I end up putting it in my bag). Some recommendations for some discs to try out with my throw style would be great. Keep in mind that I'm still new, but I pick up new hobbies really fast so I probably wont be stuck in the "noob phase" for too long.
Random discs that I already have:
Drivers-
170 Elite Z Talon
174 Elite Z Wildcat
170 Champ Valkyrie
Mid Range-
174 Star Shark
Putter-
175 Omega SS
Thanks for the help.
PS. This site is really cool. I'm going to be on here I lot I imagine.
