Like Trembo and other old timers here, started w/ Whammo 165g in mid '80s. Could throw it quite a ways w/ good snap. When Started w/ actual golfing discs in '90 1st driver was a Cobra, progressed to Spitfire then Cyclone in later '90s as they came out. Had a "Discovering the World" Roc as a putter, Lightning Texan as an approach disc, and original hard plastic Pheonix as a wind disc. Picked up a B-17 also for wind or through foliage. I fondly remember a Jaguar from about '94, biggest flat disc I have ever seen, 1st one I had w/ good glide. Wife had an Eclipse and Aviar, Knew friends w/ Ace, Duce, 86, 91, and Viper was all the rage when it came out but was a serious meathook for most, the 1st I remember.
Skeeter is the closest thing I have found to a Texan and it is really close, sweet approach disc that I used the hell out of. Lots of 100' approaches w/ shorter drivers and w/o advances in form teaching. Rare to see people throwing over 300' on my home course then. The one guy who did went to the worlds in the mid '90s and did ok.
Good luck in your quest for the old school. If you ever get to Kennewick, WA you can shoot about 15 of the holes in the positions they were in when expanded to an 18 hole object course in '89 or '90. Nice baskets and tee pads now tho, throw from gravel next to them for total old school experience.
I flipped many a lid (catch) in Columbia River Park back in '78. I was more partial to World Class 141s and Super Pros. Didn't discover disc golf 'til I got back east in '83 at Burke Lake Park. Used to throw the 141 and then some fastback that was around 130g. Bought my first golf disc (Whamo-O 86) in early 84 followed by an Aero and a P-38 Lightning, still have them all. The P-38 is as hard as a rock.
