Next Disc

[riverara]

Here is my current bag:

2 Aviar Putters
Comet Elite X
Buzz Elite Z
DX Leopard
DX Cheetah
KC Pro Teebird
Champ TeeBird
Avenger SS
DX Viper (Windy Days)

Elite Z XS

I have a few other discs Im going to trade in and was wondering what else I might need.

1) Should I use the XS as my head wind disc (replacing the viper) or should I stick with the viper? I dont know how "fast" either of them are but I can only drive to 250' right now.

2) I can get one disc. What should I pick up? Another Comet (X or Z?)? Or something else?

 

[psudgc17]

Are the flightpaths of the Teebirds and Leopard/Cheetah vastly different? Teebirds are usually more stable than Leopards and Cheetahs; if you're missing something in the middle to control, I'd suggest picking up an Eagle-X (the more commercially popular one). I like them in Star, but others love them in DX and Champion.

a roc a roc a roc. learn how to throw them and everything else becomes useless! ive got 5 rocs in my bag now along with 4 pro rhynos and 2 champ rhynos....i just played a round today with 24 discs in my bag and only used 13 of them.....11 of which were just listed

 

[craftsman]

That xs should be your main, straight, distance driver.
The roc is a great compliment to the comet.


With the roc addition you should be all set. We basically have the same setup.
Aviar-challenger
comet/buzzz-comet/roc
Leo/xl
cheetah/talon
avengerss-avenger ss (til my valks break in a lil)
xs-valk
viper- heavy z avenger

 

[craftsman]

That set up will take you to at least 350.

 

[bretttallen]

technique is key to any disc though! i changed my style over the last week or 2 and went from 225 to 290ish with my pro rhyno. my nuke is toppin 450 now. BUT.....my putting still sux so my scores suck:doh:

 

[Greevus]

love my rhynos. wish i could hit 290'! what did you do to push them out there?

 

[psudgc17]

Snap. Lots of it. Rhynos can handle a lot of power from a perfect throw because of their stability. At least this is what I've seen. I don't have perfect form, but I have the basics. I can crank one out there about 250', so I know that someone out there better than me can hit 300' with them.

To the OP: There's a lot of Roc and Buzzz love around here. Personally I've sided with the Buzzz that you have in the bag. I don't know that getting a Roc will open new doors for you, but if your Buzzz is a beat one, it has lost its stability and a Roc is not a bad option for a stable mid.

 

[discspeed]

A Roc and a Buzzz cannot be left alone together in the same bag...It's just not safe. (kind of like Whoopi and Bill O'Reilly).

 

[ChaseTheAce]

where are your sonic warp speed 19 drivers? don't you know how much distance you are sacrificing?!?!?!?!

 

[riverara]

Well I ended up getting a DX Eagle and Star Leopard.
I got the Star Leopard because its always good to have a backup and this is in star plastic.

I tried out the DX Eagle and threw it farther than almost anything Ive thrown yet! I know it might have just been a fluke but for $4 used and in great condition, I had to get it.

As for the flight paths psudg17 asked about:
The Leopard is the most understable. And I use if for anhyzer throws a lot. Either that or for a hyzer flip.
The Cheetah is more of a straight flier for me.
And the TeeBird is pretty straight but has some hyzer fade at the end. So I use it for hyzer angles mostly.

latitude 64 gold line fuse.

 

[chickenonabun]

unless some of your discs are getting too beat up to use and you need replacements, what you have should be a very good set up.

 

[Ace D]

try something more overstable. looks like you've got mostly slower discs, a Wasp might be a good addition and contrast your Comet and Buzzz.

 

[riverara]

Ive stuck with the slower discs lately since im still new to the game. Ive been playing for less than 4 months and my longest drive is only like 280 ft. That was with a TeeBird

How far should I be throwing my comet and buzzz before I start moving to faster discs?

 

[tbird888]

How far should I be throwing my comet and buzzz before I start moving to faster discs?

There's no magical distance, but 300' is a good number.

 

[bretttallen]

any of the courses...especially in sc/nc area are wooded. if you pull 300 consistant then you shouldnt worry. i wish i'd never learned to throw big. the rest of my game has suffered because i want to ace that 500 footer that will never happen. Advice: Get all the basic good habits first then the distance will come.
