Do it! You will be amazed at your score. I played with only a midrange (QMS) and putter (Omega SS) and scored what I normally do. I didn't have the opportunities for a 2 like I do normally, but I didn't get into any trouble either.


Yep, and then I sit in the parking lot scratching my head wondering why I normally carry so many discs. It's why I bought a nutsack. All I can carry is 6 in that thing. Shoot just fine. Now if I could just convince myself that's all I need in tournaments....

I'm actually looking to finally commit to playing with 3 discs for an extended period of time. Normally when I try this I wind up sticking with it for 2 rounds tops. I'm going Aviar, Roc, Leopard... And I'm gonna stay with that for a while. Just committed to this today...

I would say Dx Valk and Dx Tbird:
Previous worldrecord, 250meters, Christian Sandstrom (Valk)
247meters, Ken Jarvis (I think it was a T-bird, not 100% though)
(disc-) gracefully yours, PDGA# 3418

Are there any Valk-like discs from manufacturers other than Innova?

Pask do you have any video of you throwing?

Keltik, how did the short bag go?

Gateway Assasin and some Westside Northmen. Actually many Norhtmen are Valk like because Valks vary a lot so pick a Norhtman and chances are it is close to some kind of Valk.
Flat shots need running on the center line of the tee and planting each step on the center line. Anhyzer needs running from rear right to front left with the plant step hitting the ground to the left of the line you're running on. Hyzer is the mirror of that.

Discs are like a disease. I carry 25 normally and struggle to try and carry 15-20. I dont mind the weight I always think what if this shot comes up. I would say I normally only throw 10-12 discs a round though. I could probably score about the same playing 5-6.

Are orcs wide rimmed? Domey 169ish champ orcs go a long way but my farthest flying disc that isn't a destroyer is a 171 SOLF.

This is what I'm finding too. I've tried a lot of the suggestions here, none of which are getting out past my lighter solfs.

I had a long Pro Orc. It's at the bottom of a bayou. If I could get them locally, I'd have another. I've since moved on to Destroyers for those duties.
