A Pro Destroyer got me started throwing RHBH again about a month ago. A champ Wraith is also pretty good. But, I got a 172 ESP Nuke last week and it just bombs for me forehand. The nice thing is that, more than any other disc in my bag, I can keep it low and it just holds the line I put it on...
I'm finding out that it depends on your ability, arm speed, and snap.
Right now, a 166 Pro Destroyer is the most consistent RHFH disc in my bag. A 164 ESP Nuke that I picked up yesterday is also looking very promising. However, a 173 ESP FLX Avenger, which is quite overstable, is only a meat...
Nuke - ESP 4 Chains - 172 white
Predator - ESP - 174 teal blue
Tracker - Elite Z - 164 yellow
??? - Elite Z - DDGC 2010 169 Orange (pretty wide rim)
Zone - ESP - 171 blue
Stalker - Elite Z Oak Valley DGC - 173 Red
Surge SS - Elite Z Great Lakes Open - 168 yellow
Surge - Elite Z - 174 - yellow...
Well one thing I didn't think of, but am glad it was brought up, is how this light disc will help me with form. It should only help clean up the others.

Sorry, I meant Champ Wraith.
I'm set on control drivers - I carry 3 Leopards, a Sidewinder, and a Roadrunner - all 168+.
I'm wanting to try a 150 class high speed disc just to see. There is no way I'd even consider throwing a heavy Boss, Katana, or Nuke for distance. I don't have...
I found a 150 g R-Pro Boss that I'll try. I also found a 164 Star Katana, but decided to pass. There seems to be some love/hate with the R-Pro Boss, so we'll see.
My current overstable drivers are a CE Valk, CE Wraith, Pro Beast, and a Z Wildcat. All >170g. All, when thrown flat hyzer at the end. The Wraith is about at the edge of what I can control. The longest, reliably, of the bunch is the Valk at 330-340.
I was playing with a guy who threw a 146 DX...

20th Annual Checkered Flag Open - Pro Tournament Pictures
This was my first tournament and I had a great time. Ended up 17 over for the day in Novice. 48 holes in 90+ heat index makes for a looooooong day. But, it was fun all the same.
Now, what was this about a 900+ rated player in Novice?
Update (can't find the Edit feature)
DX Wraith 172 longest disc in the bag, pretty beat - lost
CE Wraith 168 new turns hard left
Z Wildcat 173 second longest in bag
Star Sidewinder 168 new, most consistent turnover
Star Roadrunner 170
DX Beast 171 - lost
Pro Beast 170
Z Xpress 173
DX Leopard -...
I picked up an R-Pro Aviar in 168g. Nice complement to my DX Aviar that I've putted with for years. It really seems to grip the chains when you hit them. It feels great in my hand - nice and grippy.
I will. I've been spending more time with the Leopards (DX and Pro) and the Sidewinder. They are all more consistent than anything else in the bag. I'm finding the Reaper is a pretty good RHFH disc for me, too. Speaking of that, I should pick up another at the shop since they are now OOP.
