Is it really necessary to carry around discs that are only usable in extreme headwinds?
At the beginning of spring, I got a Star Wraith and a max weight Champ Teebird for use into ridiculously strong headwinds. Seemed to work ok on those occasional days when I felt like I was throwing into a wind tunnel, since the course closest to me is right along a highway and around a wide open field near windy Chicago. Could release them flat, and they'd turn and then fade back and land straight ahead, but in anything other than an extreme headwind they were too overstable to be necessary.
Well, I haven't really needed to use those discs in probably close to 4 months, so I took them out of the bag. I'm thinking that on the rare occasion I have to throw into such a strong headwind, I'll just disc up or throw a slightly less overstable driver with some hyzer. Don't see the advantage to carrying a disc that is almost never used.
Is that a good approach, or will I miss those two discs at some point?
