This is from a previous thread, but it's good Orc info.
I love the Orc. I've tried to replace it and have found nothing that fits my throwing style better.
Orc for me in preference of amazingness:
1. Champ Glow- slightly beefier than regular champs, but always the same. I have found no run to run difference in the Champ Glows which is awesome. Plus for about $3 more it's nice to know what you're getting. I haven't seen any Champ Glows below 170g, but if I found a 167-164g that would be an amazing disc.
2. SB Tulsa- These are very stable, not OS, they beat in very well. They have the grip of star plastic but seem to be much more durable. Plus they're hell a pretty. I do pay the extra cash throw these.
3. Proline- This is the old proline plastic not the new pro plastic. These were without a doubt, the longest flying Orc I have ever had. They were also the most understable Orc (DX not included) I ever had as well. This isn't to say they flipped, they just didn't have as much fade as the others. I found I could use a beat lightweight champ to get similar distance at about half the price. It was also difficult to find ones that were the same durability, some were tougher, and some were ver soft. Blues were best IMO.
4. Champ- Just the regular champ Orcs are hard to beat. Easy to find, easy to replace very predictable. If you don't want to get into all the different versions the Champ is probably the best bet, take a while to break-in and hangs on to it's ending fade for a long time.
5. Old Pearly Champ-These are nice and gummy, and look and fly very close to the old Beast. I found that the plastic feels great, but there wasn't, at least for me, a $10-20 difference in the way they flew from regular champs. Other people will strongly disagree with me on this, and you should get their opinions as well.
6. Star-This has been the only disc that, for me, seemed to fly more OS in Star than it did in champ. Even the lighter ones were beefier than I expected them to be. I found that to be a good solid disc, but with so many Orc variations there were better options out there IMO. If you are playing in the cold with lots of snow a Star would be a nice addition.
7. Pro-This is the new pro plastic. It flies far and flies well. It also beats up quickly, like within 2-3 rounds playing on hard ground or woods. Lends itself well to an understable version of the Orc, but after a while you have to start the process over. I perfer to just use a different disc for that kind of slot.
2,340. DX- Great Water Disc. Line up and chuck that sucker right into the water. This is the disc I find the most, the disc I give away the most. They fly well up to one tree hit, then they seem to loose some to all of their stability. I would not recommend a DX Orc, ever.
The only Orc that I have not put in there is the Nightshift because I have never had the guts to throw one. I got my hands on one a couple years ago and turned into Gollum. All I wanted to do was hold, "my precious." I had to sell it and save myself. Although those that do throw the Nightshift, say it's definately more OS than all the other Orcs, and is a money disc. It will also cost you quite a bit of money as well.
