Leopard is right on. If you're looking to improve your golf game, the amount of time it's going to take to relearn how to throw a lid is going to be counter productive (unless you already have the lid throwing skills)....
Counterproductive? Not at all. It is like saying there is no reason to teach a kid math and science since they like video games better. Yeah, math and science may be difficult stuff to grasp but don't you want your doctor to know it?
Learning understable flights for putters, mids and drivers is invaluable and well worth the investment.
A lid is just a flippy putter. Take a traditional putter (Magnet, Wizard, Aviar, whatever) and beat it in for multiple years and it will eventually fly like a lid. Or save the time and go straight to a lid (Rattler, as a superb example). It is simply the best disc you can throw within 100 feet. It will fly straight (or gently bend) at slow speeds in a way no overstable disc is capable of. Yes, it takes skill, touch and practice to throw it. When you attain that skill you will be a much better golfer. If you start now in a couple years you will have it. If you avoid it in a decade you will still lack it.
The most valuable discs in my bag are the most broken in putters, mids and drivers. Overstable discs are crude weapons. Understable discs are precise instruments. Both have their place, of course, but the skill quotient is different. A typical amateur knows how to throw a meathook on a spike hyzer. Watch an accomplished Pro gently bend an anhyzer or thread a hyzer-flip down a tunnel. That is real skill.
Disc golf is a life long sport. Honing what you are already good at is just a short term strategy. Focus on the long term and have the patience to make it work.
