Unsung Heroes.

What discs do you think are so good they just don't get talked about. And I don't mean because you like it but because it shows up in many people's bags but just doesn't get talked about.

To me it is the Pred/firebird. They fill the roll of overstable wind fighter and utility disc so well that have just kind of settled into that spot. They don't get talked about a lot but everyone seems to have this collective nod to how good they are.

Shark, those things are deadly!

Hornet. I know it overlaps the Wasp, but it's a solid disc that fits my bag. If I had to pick one mid, the Hornet it it, no question. ESP, new to beat, is awesome.

Sorry, I misread the op's post. Hornet doesnt show up in many peoples bag around here.

For my sidearm shots. a Cro for mid and TeeRex for drives.

 

[Cygnus]

Sidewinders, I carry one, all my buddies do and alot of people I have played with have at least one. It seems the most talked about discs on here are roc, buzz, and teebird.

 

[KelReeves]

The XL. It is my most reliable disc. It was good enough to kick my Teebirds and Leapord combo out of the bag. The stability between Pro-D to Z is big enough to cover all my fairway needs... Except for my overstable utility disc which the Predator has a strangle hold.

 

[B3NDER]

I'd have to say the wraith... and as you said the predator.

I can do it all with a pre-Ken wraith, side-arm, tomahawk, even a decent roller. My old predator I could putt with, blast through the wind, you name it!

Good thread!

the xs alot of guys around here throw them the x for turnovers and the z for straight. The wraith and surge as well you can find one or the qther in almost every bag around.

i've really been getting into the EVo Sabre lately. I find it to be deadly accurate from the 150-200ft range.

Valk

Easily :clap:

 

[GripEnemy]

cobra? there was a thread because of the release of the new champs, otherwise i never hear the word.

 

[Miamisms]

Flick.

Seen lots but don't hear any chatter surrounding these bad boys that much. Had to buy my own and it's a great side arm.

I keep hearing about flicks for sidearm...I might have to pick one up

 

[bholy08]

Valk and wraith...both are staples but rarely discussed

 

[Lemur]

Whippets. In a lot of peoples bags but not really talked about.

 

[jdw80550]

Orcs, I never hear any complaints about the Orc. Most the guys in my area say, "Oh man that's a good disc, but I have a (new high speed driver) that covers that slot." Then I proceed to kick their ass.

Those are some of them. But that is why I wanted to about those "untalked" about discs that are still just as good as those 3.

valk - yeah, definitely one of the super solid discs
shark - I think it is found in more pro's bags than people realize
Cro - solid disc, but does it fit the bill of unsung hero?
Teerex - this disc was awesome but production errors have caused it to slide to the wayside.
Sidewinders - this one could be in there. I feel like a lot people have a disc like it (S and P TDs, X XS, that sort of thing)
XL - yeah... XL is a solid "old school" disc but still gets pay and finds its way in plenty of people's bags.
Wraith - kind of like the XL, again solid disc but to many of innova's drivers sit in the vein of this (eagle, orc, wraith, destroyer, boss...)
XS - mmm... turnover disc yeah
Sabre - no
Cobra - correct me if I'm wrong, but no.
Flick - kinda, but does anyone else really think it would make the cut in what were are talking about?
Whippets
Orcs - same as wraith.

I want to throw in a putter here and say the Challenger. It is basically Discrafts BB Aviar but I think that it is a super disc that gets overshadowed by the Wizard and specific KC Aviars (X variations and the new tooling).

 

[apdrvya]

I have to go with gators.
not a lot of hype (though growing lately) and a great disc!!

 

[jdw80550]

another I'd add to your list is the cyclone, been around forever and still kicks butt.
