Got a brand new ESP Banger GT from my tourney payout this weekend...and some other great discs, but that's the one I'm most excited about. If you've got any in the 170's, I'll take 'em!

[Weyums3]

A green clear plastic Discraft-Nuke, weight170-172, stability 1.6. I was kind of hoping someone could tell me about what I got here, I think its a great disc but I am not sure where it stands compared to others as I am fairly new.

Welcome to DGCR! Unless you've got superman's arm or are a Disc Golf prodigy, the nuke is way too much disc for a new player. I typically don't throw much discraft but the Nuke is one of their fastest drivers. If you've gotten a chance to throw it, you'll probably have noticed that it spikes off to the side soon after you throw? That means you aren't throwing it with enough arm speed to get it to it's potential. Start off with slower discs. There are numerous threads available for details on what discs you would be best off with, no matter what brand you prefer. Have fun!

Thanks for the response man, I started playing about a month ago with a set of 3 innovas, leopard, shark, and putter. Played 4 rounds and did ok, then decided to invest in a better driver. I got the Nuke, played with it in the yard first 3 throws took off to the right and weren't very far. But the next 2 throws I let go and man did it fly. Decided to go to the local course and used the Nuke. I let it go and it go man does it fly, had my best rounds yet at -4 and -3 on a 10 hole course.

I see what u mean when u said u gotta be strong, cuz I usually don't throw it as hard as I can but u almost have to with the Nuke for it to do well. I don't think I will ever use my leopard again.

First of all, welcome to the addiction!

This isn't the ideal place for this discussion, but I just wanted to chime in real quick and say that your last sentence will likely end up being false if you continue to play for any length of time. I said the same thing when I first started and now I throw my Leopard (or River) a majority of the time.

It's possible throwing the Nuke at this stage may teach you bad technique. Maybe not. Each person is different, but there are definitely tried and true methods to establishing good form with consistent results. The people here are extraordinarily helpful and have made significant improvements to my game. Stick around, and read, read, read. :thmbup:

 

[Skulboy]

Took these out for a limited test and a few holes. Gotta say I love the Sword and the Bolt big time. River is a keeper, but need more practice with it and I'm still on the fence with the Fuse and Diamond.

177g GL River Red Color Shift!

I love it! I am tempted to wipe the stamp and do a tiny dye job so I can see more of the beautiful colors!

Flashed to see the color shift:
