Player Reviews Posted 02-15-08 Submitted by kritter karlritter@yahoo.com Location: Washington Level: Beginner Avg Drive: 275 Disc Weights: 174 Review: I went down to my local shop and I was talking to the woman who works there. She said, "Well, if your not a big power thrower you should try this disc." Luckily my ego didn't get in my way and I bought the disc. This is a super straight shooter. First disc I was able to overdrive the hole off the tee! I did that on a super tight fairway with huge trees looking to beat me down if I got off-line. If you are looking for an easy to throw disc and maybe you aren't the biggest power thrower either then this might be a disc for you.

I started out throwing sidearm like so many others, but eventually made the switch to backhand. My first backhand bombs were thrown with made form, as I wasn't even throwing anhyzer, rather just trying to torque a disc over and let it fade back. Within the last 6-8 months I've finally improved my technique to the point where I find I prefer to hyzer flip everything due to it's better control. As a result, I've backed away from the very fast overstable discs, and moved towards more understable discs. Hence the Sidewinder. In Champion plastic I found it to be extremely unpredictable, but in STAR, I've found my favorite driver. With any weight, and various levels of beat, I can change the hyzer release angle to get just about any type of flight from hyzer glide, to hyzer flip straight, flip to flat and turn right, to flip over and roll. The Sidewinder truly is the most versatile disc in my bag. Posted 10-08-07 Submitted by Anonymous scott@seirindojo.com Disc Weights: 170 Review: Listen, if you do not throw left handed sidearm, skip this review. If you DO, then STFU and listen - this disc destroys. I ONLY throw left-handed sidearm, which means half the stuff out there throws the freakin' opposite of what the manufacturer claims. I have pretty much been a Discraft fanboy, not liking Innova discs at all (yeah yeah, whatever. Until Champion plastic came out, Innova discs just felt chinsey and cheap to me). I fished this Star Sidewinder out of a pond near a local course, and said fuggit and just started throwing it. Holy mackerel, this disc is a friggin' laser. I cannot explain how straight this thing flys. On top of that, my distance with this disc has been the farthest of any dsic I have EVER thrown in my 10 years of disc golf. So yeah, just get one and you will see for yourself. My right handed forehand pals throw this as a roller, but in my freakish left handed sidearm grip this disc just makes them cry.
