Guys,
Thanks for all the feedback and opinions!
Ah, that makes sense, thanks for the clarification.
I am backhand dominant, but throw flicks for approaches and utility. Unfortunately, the slope to the left side of the basket is steep enough that any skip would result in a bad roll away (at best). Worst case scenario is a roll all the way into the drink at the bottom of the hill...
I don't think a Buzz is stable enough for this application. I have not tried a Buzz OS, but I have also tried a Drone, with infrequent success.
I hadn't considered a Pig... I bagged one when they first came out but didn't really find a spot for it back then. My game has changed considerably since then, so it may be worth re-visiting. Thanks for the suggestion.
I bag a Lucid Judge for throwing and short FH approaches (<75'). I actually pulled a Justice out of the lake when I was fishing for the Felon I threw in there... Seems like it would have limited applications, but I haven't thrown it yet. Seems like the Harp is a good option for this specific application. I'll just have to try it out. I don't want to bag a disc for one throw on one hole, so we'll see if I can use it elsewhere as well.
Thanks again for all the feedback

No, the Harp is not as OS and dumpy as a Zone. I read your post and I understand what you are asking for. It's right in between a Zone and a Suspect, imho.

Are you forehand dominant? Given the pictures, it seems like a RHBH throw would give better results. Perhaps a straight midrange with which you can give a soft hyzer just over the water fading gently to the pin. Anyone else think the same thing?

I was going to say Buzzz too, though the thought of a headwind makes me change my mind. A plain ol' Z Buzzz is a very versatile forehand approach tool. With a headwind, you could try a Buzzz OS?

A majority of my sidearm approach shots are with a Pig or a Mortar. If I want more skip and/or more distance I go with the Recon Mortar. If I want little to no skip I use a Pig. I throw the Pig sidearm a lot more than backhand. I prefer the Factory Store "Stiff" Pro Pigs. I've been experimenting with my Frontline-X Mortar to try to replace my Pig (to carry less molds). It skips less than the Recon but more than a Pig. I prefer to flick beadless discs so I like my setup.

I bag a suspect for longer approaches 150-225ish, a BT Medium harp for shorter approaches <150 and a Fuzion Justice for utility approaches. Combined with a beat in Judge that is my throwing putter I cover almost any shot I can face. Of those 4 discs you will never find me without the Suspect/Harp/Judge. The Justice could probably go but it is fun to throw.
