Buzzz SS maybe, but I have zero experience with those.BentElbow11 said:A Buzzz will fade. You can minimize the fade by subtle release angle adjustment, but it's designed to have some fade. It would not be my choice for a truly straight tunnel shot, start to finish, because to get a reasonably straight finish it has to be turned over slightly and allowed to work its way back at the end. Flat Z Buzzz comes closest to a straight flight though.
You are not understanding it only because you haven't seen it in action. I have been on many holes where everyone in the group parked the basket with a Z Buzzz. Hey, a Buzzz convention!!
This is why I cycle Buzzzes. My most beat up Buzzz will fly dead nuts straight (no fade at all) at 150'. If I want the same line at 200' I disc up to the next Buzzz. At 230' I disc up to the next Buzzz. At 250' to 260' I go to the strongest Buzzz. Discs fly differently at different speeds. You need to learn then memorize your discs and their tendencies.
Other factors can lead me to disc up and still throw perfectly straight like headwinds or uphill shots.
But there are tunnels where you want the shot to start out straight then hyzer or anhyzer at the end. So my most beat up Buzzz which is dead nuts flat at 150' will do a gentle anny if pushed to 200'. You need to have the discs, the knowledge and the touch to make the adjustments.
