[Innova] Wraith vs Boss -

[tamahawk]

The boss is too much disc for me, I just don't have the power to make it perform. The wraith for me is a great controllable distance driver for me, it gets more distance for me than anything else I throw but I know where it's going.

same for me.
I have an older ProWraith that is my go to driver, great distance and control.

I only use my Boss when I want a 300-or-so-foot left hook, or a longer one downhill. There's a perfect hole for this on a local course, but I doubt I'd find a use for it on many courses. The Wraith is much more versatile for me. Both of mine are Star.

Do you throw OP for your home course?

I also choose the wraith, as i have each in star plastic my 167 boss i can put on a straight or slight hyzer line, but with the wraiths i own, i feel as if i can put them on just about any line and also i can throw probably 50' futher than the boss

 

[nitegolfer]

Not consistent enough with the Boss yet, to choose it over a Wraith.

I'm not sure that Dave is that much of a wraith fan. His comment was probably more about the fact that it wasn't a very good description of a boss. They don't fly straight after eight rounds. Also, saying a disc is multiple times better than another is really subjective. It depends on what you need it to do.

I agree with everything you just said there, just not a big fan of calling people's opinion bullsh#t.

I agree. I would have sugar coated it a little.

Yep, that's the hole I was thinking about. Old #7, which you would be familiar with as #10.

ahh yes, i started playing right after they finished the first full 18.

You should join the cobb disc golf club. We'll be moving some of the back 9 and maybe putting in more holes some time this winter or spring. The long term goal is to have a couple of full-sized 18's out there. That'll take a while, but the cdgc is the group that built enough trust with the county parks department to get permission to expand the course from 9 holes to 18 back in the spring.

Okay I'm done threadjacking.

I went with Wraith. I have two of them in different weights.

 

[wtafro]

I used to throw a Wraith. It was the first big driver I could throw effectively. Tried the Boss and couldn't handle it, so now I'm throwing Halos

 

[underpar24]

i love my wraith. Haven't thrown the boss. I really don't need anymore drivers. i got my surges when i want to flip them, and my wraith and Nuke for my power shots. still working on the Nuke. i don't have the confience to throw it in a tourney yet but it is coming.

 

[dmalexander]

I carry a lot of Boss's in different weights and different plastic. Not a huge fan of the wraith, I had one that I loved but the last one I got was domey and flew like crap! My home course is developed with big arms in mind and if you can't drive 300+ consistantly, it'll be a very long day.

 

[CoachQ]

I carry 3 wraiths and 1 boss...nuff said.

 

[hogleggbob]

the boss all the way

 

[chain-addicted]

I have both a Pro Wraith and a Pro Boss and the Boss is just too overstable for my liking. My Pro Wraith just seems to glide forever. I'm stickin' with the Wraith.

 

[jkdisc]

wraith is more consistant for me

 

[TxDiscGolfBoy]

The Boss is great, don't get me wrong, but the Wraith is a more versitile disc in my opinion. The wear-and-tear of the Wraith is very predictable, which is why I carry the disc in different states of "worn-in-ness"

 

[Jukeshoe]

Wraith.

 

[TxDiscGolfBoy]

almost the same here. 4 wraiths, 1 boss:hfive:

Going all the way back to the OP: If you're only getting an additional 10-20 feet, is it really worth throwing a Boss? I'd take consistency over 15 feet on a drive any time.
