My friend and I have been debating about disc selection and would appreciate your input. We throw basically the same distance with all of our discs, but often choose different discs for the same shot.
Wizard: 310
Buzzz: 340
Teebird: 370
Wraith: 400
If the hole is a wide open 350' with no trouble around the green, he will throw a buzzz, and I will throw a teebird. He does this to throw a slower, more accurate disc, and leave himself just 10' short for an easy tap in birdie.
I will throw a teebird because if I throw well (I rate the throw 8/10 or better) I will go long 20' but have and easy 20'er for birdie. If I dont throw it too well and throw and it like a 6 or 7 out of ten and goes 20 shorter, now I am parked. If it is a below average throw and goes 40' shorter than I planned, it goes 330' still leaving me an easy 20' birdie putt on this 350' hole.
If my friend throws it poorly and it goes 40' shorter than he had planned, he is looking at a 50'er. On the other hand he is throwing a slower, more accurate and more consistent disc that has a tigher shot dispersement so he wont throw it 40' short very often.
Given the distances we throw, and only the 4 discs listed above available, what would you throw on that hole and why?
