Trying out wraiths to take over my distance driver slot from my photons. I picked up a seasoned pro for turnover/hyzer flip and a 166 echo for straight shots. Thinking a max weight star to round it out. What are everyone's favorite 3 wraith stability combos?
That sounds like a pretty good set to cover most shots.
I have various options that I can cycle in/out for my 3 primary slots:
OS (Zero HST, Consistent Fade, Headwinds, Steep Downhill, fast Flex lines) 170-175g
+Typically Star, although I think Champ can work well but without as much grip.
+Bottom Stamp Star seem to always fit this slot, especially when new.
+Otherwise, anything with high PLH. I tend to lean towards domier ones; they get more D but still just as OS.
+(Have also been toying with S-line DD, which is a little extreme on the OS side, especially when new. Has the Wraith bottom, so very similar feel in the hand.)
Stable (Max Straight-to-Fade Distance, Slight S-Curve into a Headwind or Downhill, slow Flex lines) 168-172g
+Currently loving a beat pre-Kenny Star. High PLH, Flat on top, and pretty well beat.
+In the past have had success with medium-seasoned EchoStar.
+This is the toughest one. Need something that seasons into the perfect line-drive bomber...and stays there. On average I lose a stable Wraith per year, and it's always a heart breaker.
US (Hyzer-Flip Bombs, Big S-Curves, Tailwinds, Uphill) 165-170g
+Can be Star or Echo, but either way has to be seasoned nicely. Echo gets there faster.
+Has to be pop-top and low PLH.
+Could probably use Pro in this slot, but I've found it to be too touchy in the past. Might re-visit at some point.
This is just what works for me. I've been stockpiling Wraiths for a few years now, and have spent some field time just figuring out what Wraiths will work for what lines.
