For thumbers I usually throw my 172 champion Firebird or my 170 champion Eagle. The FB goes 30 feet farther an takes longer to turn over. The Eagle turns over quickly and therefore lands farther right then the FB. I ordered a Predator the other day and will be getting it in the next couple of days. I have heard that it is one of the other staples of overhand shots, especially thumbers.
I have been throwing more tomahawks lately and have been using the Firebird for most of them. I've found that the tomahawk drops in height quite a bit more then my thumber when the disc flips to it's back. Because of this I only throw it when throwing slightly downhill or when there is an obstacle close but an opening farther ahead.
I also throw a thumber with an Epic for specific shots. Like in the case of a tomahawk, I only throw my epic with a slight downhill and calm wind. I have the Epic in my bag for only one hole at the course that I play the most, Skyline in Napa, Ca. It's a tough disc to use but for the one hole I use it on, it works every time.
So what overhand discs does everyone else use? What gives you the most distance and accuracy?
