I thought I'd start a thread and list a few shots I throw on the course and what plastic I use and how I try to solve that particular shot problem. Please add to it or repeat my selection and tell me how you solved the hole. I'm constantly looked at and trying new discs and trying to figure out a better disc to do what I need on a certain hole.
1. Wide open shot for distance. For this shot I'll usually pull out my beat in Avenger because I can hyzer flip it for the most distance. I don't have a great arm and have recently starting throwing a Tee Bird also because I'm getting it pretty far out there too.
2. Straight shots / Tunnel shot. I'm in NC and we've got a ton of wooded courses so control is a big part of the game. I used my Stalker a lot because I can throw it straighter than any disc I have and it doesn't fade too much at the end. If I really snap it off I can get it to hardly fade at all.
3. Holes that turn right. I'm a RHBH thrower and do struggle with those right turning holes. I've been working a lot on developing a forehand shot but it's still hit or miss. My next best try at it is to throw an anyzer shot. For that I'll use my Avenger SS. It I throw in on an anyzer it turns over very quickly. If I hyzer flip it with some snap on it'll flip up straight and finish softly right but not much. I don't really have a great long turnover anyzer disc hence why I'm working hard on a forehand shot. Any help on this type of shot would be great. It costs me more than a few strokes every game I play.
4. Long hyzer shot. I've been using my Avenger or Surge but when they turn left they quickly look for the ground. If I need one to turn left and stay in the air a while longer I've started using a Sidewinder or something a little understable. It fights to turnover but can't since I've thrown it on a hyzer angle so it ends up staying in the air longer. For those shots that turn left and need to keep on getting it.
5. Short hyzer shot - Avenger all day or my stalker as I'm the most familiar with how much they naturally turn left and I can get the most control out of them.
5. Shot to medium upshots. If I'm 50-150 feet out I'll throw my Buzzz from a standstill. I've gotten great control with that thing. If I'm worrying about it rolling or I need something to drop and not move I'll throw my gateway magic or voodoo putter. My magic goes a bit right and my voodoo goes a bit left.
6. Putting inside the circle - I'll push putt with my gateway magic.
7. Long Putts - I'll still use my Magic but I'll spin putt it. If I need to get around some trees or something I'll use the voodoo because it's got a harder left fade.
