As a fellow (former) Okie, 1. The folks that mentioned Diamonds, those really are the best beginner drivers I've seen. Tbirds are also great. And if you can afford MVP diss, they are really indestructible. Tangents make great beginner mids and work as putters. 2. Take them to the Will Rogers...

Second on both the hyzerflib and better yet the forhand for this shot. That said, I guy I play with (who drives about 350ish), has a havoc (Lat 64 in goldline) that strangely and inexplicably does exactly this. He throws it. It goes straight. And after about 200 ft. it turns of hard right. It...

I saw Hoyt Axton in a Pizza Hut in Oklahoma City once when I was a kid. But that doesn't have anything to do with disc golf.

Where I live, there is a basket course and a pole course (Is it still there, lake Isabella?) about the same distance for me. Layout is a bit better on the basket course. In the last 3 years I've played the basket course about 100 times and the pole course twice. I think that says it all. A...

I'll echo the tangent (as well as the impact, buzzz ss, and comet). As your arm speed increases, you'll get that 20 ft. with a putter, and that will have even less fade (I'd throw a beat pro rhyno for a 200 ft. tunnel, or if a bit longer, likely the tangent) BTW, somewhat unreplacable, but I...

I think OP asks the wrong question. It's not "why do people drink beer while playing disc golf?" that he really doesn't understand. It's "why do people drink beer?" And that's a profound philosophical question I'm incapable of answering sober. I usually play Sunday morning rounds, and while...

No argument here, and maybe they just vary, but I've run into a boss that's a meathook. OP wasn't clear how stable he wanted, but of course stable and OS are different concepts. I get it. I also find a lot of difference in discs with more high speed vs low speed stability. My XXX is fighting...

OK, so I'm not an MVP fanatic, in fact I only currently carry one of their discs, but the tangent just rocks, and sounds like what you are looking for. Easy to hold. Slightly less stable than a buzz, more shapable. I also find the comet uncomfortable, but find the tangent flies like a comet but...

I love the Olace. My gorilla like, oaty friend swears by his Xcalibur. Depending on hw stable you want, both the Quasar and boss are quite stable and yet have good glide, though generally as stability increases, glide decreases.

I got a GRIP and this bag for xmas. I think I'm keeping the Grip. Simply a bit better construction. That said, The handle and the extra 2 side pockets on the Catalyst rock...better than Grip's or any other bag I've used. In fact giving up the sweet handle is the hardest thing about parting with...

I also just switched from an innova deluxe with quads to the grip. I carry about 15 discs, but tend to carry a raincoat in winter, and a lot of beer in the summer. I don't find it much more comfortable, but at least equally comfortable, even with a bit more stuff than I carried in the innova. I...

Check my post just above, 9 150 class, largely non-blizzard, for $55

I'm a 40 something wimp liking lighter discs too, though I find blizzard discs are a bit inconsistent and beat up quickly (do the bubbles in the plastic collapse when you hit trees?). I like the opto air plastic of Lattitude and Westside a bit better (though I use blizzard Kraits and...

Bump on the gorilla boy bags, but on the cheaper end, I might also recommend the innova deluxe. It's what I replaced a fade crunch with, giving me room for about 20 discs...room to grow or carry a few beers or a jacket or whatnot. Putter pocket is meh but it has my favorite cell phone pocket...

In close but big headwind or big turn, I'll often throw a XXX
