I'm one of those that would say drop the core. But if your solid with it than use what works for ya. But IMHO there is nothing that a core can do that a fuse cant do more gracefully. That's just what works for me though. 174 opto fuse 176 GL Pain These are my bread and butter, But I have a...

rube-age! UBER RUBE-AGE!!! To the topic: for me it's a roller and nothing more. Their are numerous other discs I prefer for that particular task as well. But a good friend of mine really likes his, so it's hit or miss on the archers part.

I carry a 174 GL river.... Smoothest annies I've ever thrown. I knocked the fade out of it with plenty malicious abuse ;) But it started out relatively T-bird-like. Now it just holds whatever line I put it on (nearly perfectly stable, like a comet but way faster) and usually lands softly. Paired...

I've taco'd almost every FLX disc I own. Another one-hit-and-done plastic from discraft if you have any kind of arm. IMHO the stuff is junk. EDIT: guess I should take that drone out of my sig considering it too was recently taco'd beyond it's usefulness to me.

I like the feel of the predator, and it's superior backhand performance. But for every other overstable need that I have, the XXX leaves the Predator in the dust. I will probably go with the XXX for versatility over the Predator for specialty. I would carry both but a bag full of discs is not...

I have an open slot for one of these two discs. I have and really like both. Help me break down whats good about each so I can commit to one. I have both in the bag now and it's the only disc I second guess for the other. Now I'm all :wall: on the meathook slot.

second this, but grab a drone anyway if you can. Even if it's (the drone) too much for you now, it will be useful for getting around or going through trouble. (brush, trees, etc.) When your arm develops you can throw the drone low and flat for a giant forward skip that puts on the brakes when it...

Same. This course on 84th street has some regulars that throw a nasty forehand. This one in particular can throw 500' with a beat to f wraith that I saw. Some real long drives being thrown forehand out there. Makes me want to further develop my own. To the topic: I love my nukes. Not so much...

Just wanted to bump this for the disc that has far exceeded my expectations. So... throw away the numbers and just chuck it. I bought this to fill the slot of a beat up Z nuke that I had just lost confidence in. Nothing wrong with it other than its condition. So don't get me wrong, the nuke is a...

If your going only slightly more stable than your stalker, then consider an XS. I've only thrown a hand full of them but they sure do fly nicely. And since you seem partial to discraft, it would be a great choice for developing your backhand.

I've not thrown one yet. But if it has a shallow grip I think I'll stick to my force. I like to wrap my gorilla fingers around a wing without running into the bottom of a flight plate. :) Feels more solid in the hand to me that way.

Gold Line Pain to finish a round the other day.

I throw a seasoned z nuke and really like it. But I just don't trust it. I fondled one of these (VIP King) in my local shop today for a good 30 minutes before finally pulling the trigger on the purchase. I'm hoping it will fly similar right off the shelf. I'll throw it in the nuke slot for the...

sure does look like it, but I think the way he's holding it gives that illusion. Like his little finger is the only one not on the lip. Still you can see by "DISCRAFT" that the lip is on the other side of the flight plate and is a regular first run general release top stamp. I had to look twice...

A kindred spirit.... I agree wholeheartedly with the above statement. There are a few that nothing will compare to. (river, flow, early strikers, pure, XXX, fuse/pain combo) Anything else, the state-side companies make equal or better discs for IMHO. Just not with the stunning aesthetics of...
