A few months ago, many of you answered my post about what distance disc should I be throwing for my skill level and being that I throw Rocs so well. I am here to tell you that most of you recommended the Teebird and you guys were absolutely correct. My game has definitely improved with a DX 150g Teebird in my bag. Goes straight and doesn't mind some hyzer either. You can throw it out over water and not worry it's going to be too flippy and curve the wrong way. I can max throw it about 375 feet when I don't care where it goes and about 340 feet in controlled, neutral conditions. My next question is: what distance disc should be next? I'm not saying I'm going to step up right away but I'd like to start planning for it right now.
What's in my bag right now: putter, two 160g DX Rocs--one beat up one for anny's and a slightly used one for straight and hyzers under 270 feet, 2 (in case one goes in water) DX 150g ArchAngels for anhyzer drives (tends to be flippy but controllable), a 175g DX Leopard as utility disc, the Teebird, and a 150g DX Valkyrie.
Now, here's the thing. The Valkyrie--every DX Valk I've ever tested seems to be good at first. Then within like 30 throws, they turn really flippy. The one I have in my bag goes far but it's a crapshoot as to what it's going to do. But what drives me nuts is that I know many guys throw them for big distance. For me, Valks just don't translate to my level right now I guess. I've tried Monarchs and they seem touchy as well. I have a Champ Teebird but it feels too overstable and is hard for me to level out. (The DX plastic makes all the difference I guess.) I have a DX Beast that I kind of like but I'm not sure that's the answer either. And yes, I like the DX plastic even though it dings. They tend to fly further for me and overall are more controllable than other plastics. But if somebody can convince me otherwise, I'll listen to reason.
Thanks.
