Okay... War Horse bombs. I like it a lot. Call me a torque monkey chucker or whatever IDGAF it's super controllable and long.
Have you tried the Catapult? Do you like it?

Drone.
I've been through Pigs, Gators, Mortars, Rhynos, etc.
Beef + Glide is a wonderful thing. Too bad they're basically OOP.
Beef+Glide is a wonderful thing when you play in calm conditions and want a nice predictable overstable finish. It's a terrible thing when the wind is howling though, which is primarily when my beefy discs earn their keep. That's why I replaced my Drone with its slower brick of a cousin, the Zone. No glide at all, even in a hurricane.
No. I mean RB (rubber blend)
To each their own. I recently benched the Drone just for curiosities sake, but I've been throwing them since their release. They aren't too glidey and ANY disc will be affected by the wind. Just know your nose angles and the direction the wind is going - if the bottom of any disc is exposed to the wind it's gonna glide extra in that direction. Exposing the top of the disc will cause it to be pushed down.
Not saying you shouldn't switch to the Zone because they're an absolutely awesome mold. Just saying reading the wind is more important than which disc you choose to blame the wind on. EDIT: sometimes "riding the wind" is super beneficial as well.

The Drone is plenty capable of fighting headwinds. I don't throw it often, but if the wind is up and I have a 'Buzz' shot, I'll switch up to the Drone and get similar results as a Buzzz in calm conditions.
PA-1's have found a home in my bag. I love them. I have kept bulldogs (RIP), VPs, panzer tanks, and a caltrop in that spot. I loved my first run panzer tanks because they were so good for full power shots.Later runs were not the same and they beat in super fast. The PA-1 is a great thrower and my most recent ace was with one.
Discraft Impact, just got one this week in an esp/flx mystery box and it's quickly became my new favorite fairway. Amazing disc.
