[Drivers] Your go to disc for nothing but distance?

[Tom Banjo]

Air Renegade or Star Tern.

For all of you that like data, I've tallied this whole thread, and here are all the discs with more than 1 vote for max distance air shots:

Destroyer 14
Tern 13
DDx 9
Boss 7
Wraith 6
Katana 6
King 5
Octane 3
Northman 3
Vulcan 3
Nuke 3
Valkyrie 3
Renegade 2
Crank 2
Bolt 2
Lace 2
Daedalus 2

I didn't tally discs that people said they would throw for rollers. If you said "I might throw this or this" then I tallied both discs. If you said "I might throw this, but this other disc would be better" then I only tallied the "better" disc.

Looks like Destroyers and Terns are the distance kings for DGCR folks. The DDx made a surprisingly strong showing for such a new mold. For Trilogy throwers, the King is the distance disc of choice, and for Gyro folks it's the Octane. We don't have enough Prodigy/Vibram/Discraft folks for there to be much separation between particular molds (or many votes at all).

Domey, 170+ regular old Z cranks. They beat in slowly but when they get beat in they're perfect for my personal best rips. My last few personal record distances have been with them. The instructional picture of the front helps too. http://discraft.com/downloads/crank_wallpaper_widescreen.jpg

My Big Z Crank is beating in to the point of becoming really straight, but it just seems to not have the distance potential of a Tern. For me anyway.

gstar or ppd2.

With my badly bent, ancient, noodle arm this is a Par 4. If all the planets are aligned I can get a Z Nuke out to 325, maybe a bit more. So its a Z Nuke for me.
