[Compare] Slow and Beefy

[elmexdela]

OP i use a beat dx aviar for these shots. control your ****

 

[AndyJB]

Credo actually has two plaatic, but the advanced soft is the only one that sticks; though I did have a gnarly skip off some concrete on a low sidearm shot

 

[bobmcnelly]

The Pig is where it's at. I personally like the R-Pro production plastic.

 

[Declarkus]

Drone. I throw Cryztal FLX and Big Z

 

[Brodysseus]

Slow, beefy, and sticks on landing?

Vibram VP.

 

[Kodachrome]

I'm surprised that the Zone isn't cutting it for you.

it makes sense if you think about it; i made this same thread a little while ago . . . as much as i enjoyed the zone for beating the wind, it isn't very slow, it skips a lot and it isn't a disc where once it runs out of steam, it just drops. it actually has a lot of lateral movement; it won't turn wing down hard on its way down and due to the rim shape even at a steeper angle it can generate skip. so for me it was kinda useless as a placement disc. i'd rather throw a pig or a VP.

it may seem silly, and i certainly never thought i would be saying this, but the H1 is why i don't throw the zone right now. i throw my zone farther. h1 can do little 100' hit-and-stick spikes really easily but it can skip too if i ask. i don't recommend it for anybody else, but nothing gets easy placement for me quite like the h1. it's just silly; it can only do one thing, i've thrown this on an anny into a stiff headwind today and it came back no problem. the only things that come close for me are the pig, FAF fb and VP. credo is another flat profile like a zone but since the plastic isn't slick it grabs turf better. also really beefy but not for me.


the vp can be hard to get a clean release on in a nasty header and that flutter will hurt your game if you can't adjust to the deep rim, especially if you are throwing the softs to get hit-and-stick. try a pig. it's cheap so what's the damage? not like you're going to be throwing it into concrete, right?

I have been fiddling with this spot also for a while. Most of the time Premium Jokeri works fine but sometimes I wish it was slower still. Recently I got a beadless Gator as well (dont really dig a bead on any disc) and that works fine for a little longer range, although I cant really say it sticks.

I was contemplating on the R-pro Rhynos and Pigs and whatnot but as my bag is otherwise very much cemented, I have decided to roll with the Jokeri and just pay attention to technique more. Tired of trying to find that one Philosophers Stone.

Credo is legit, but I like the feel of the Harp better for sidearm. It looks like dirt in a few rounds but holds stability longer than that. The Yikun Gui is also quite good but you can make it turn if you really want to.

I also like the old Champ Rhynos too.

 

[Enrico]

Obsidian Discs G5 Splinter. The most overstable putter I've thrown. More overstable than Harp for sure.

 

[MonkeyShine]

Thanks for the input everyone. I guess I just love this type of disc in general, and I wanted to see what everyone thought, as far as what's slower, or what disc just dumps right out of the hand.

I'll see about getting a Credo, but that's gonna be a lot harder to get backups for if I end up liking it, since I know I'm NEVER gonna see one at Play it Again.

I didn't even think about MVP/Axiom. I'll have to check out that Envy, too.

As far as plastic goes, I don't necessarily need one that "sticks", I'm more concerned about it being overstable. And R-Pro isn't terrible for an approach putter, but still, if I like a disc, I like to know I have options. I had like 5 Pigs at one time, and starting throwing the Suspect instead. I liked having a durable thrower and a baseline one that would be a little glidier, or for slightly longer shots, wouldn't dump quite as fast.

And, "Yes", I will be throwing at concrete. My home course has "wheelchair accessible" pathways all throughout, and a big concrete pad around half of the baskets. It sucks to make an approach shot, knowing if you don't hit chains you're gonna end up with road rash.

 

[tbird888]

My home course is practically a gravel pit and has blacktop around the pins as well. Unless you're spiking your discs into the concrete, you should be able to keep your rims in good shape with a little light sanding with fine grit sandpaper when your discs get too rough. My current Glo Z Zone has been in my bag since they were released and has hit a ton of blacktop and gravel on drives more than approaches and is still in great shape.

 

[Mr. Butlertron]

Slow, beefy, highly durable /scuff resistant, and sticks on landing?

Vibram X-link Medium VP.

FTFY

 

[trumbulldore]

Credo Pig and Harp are most OS putters you'll find. Classic soft harps (if they even exist)or r-pro rhyno should be stickiest

 

[grotto]

I hope Innova comes out with a G-Star Pig. That might be the cats a$$ and I'd certainly want to try one.

 

[thejake78]

I am using, and will also recommend like a few others above, a medium Vibram VP.

 

[sloppydisc]

Any one mention the Trident? It has a pretty blunt nose, won't fade and can do some skip.

Wat?
