What disc would you miss the most?

by **Stringbean** » Fri Dec 14, 2012 3:04 pm

If you were to lose one disc out of your bag and had no way to replace it, the loss of which disc would hurt your scores the most?

I want to try something different and am looking for something that will have a positive impact on my game. Doesn't matter if it is a putter, mid, or driver.

I'm pretty good at putting with a Roc, so I'll say my 167g star Leo... I have had it since I started so comfortable using it for almost anything. Straight, hyzers, hyzer flips for D, long turnovers, mild flex shots, sidearm, the occasional roller. Probably throw it 10-15 times a round so I would miss it badly.

My Buzzz is probably the most useful and easiest to throw straight of all my discs, would definitely have trouble without it.

Does anybody know how a Super Stingray compares to a Buzzzz? I use the SS quite a bit and know that it will fly straight 300 feet plus. Not sure how it compares in terms of line-shaping as I have never thrown a Buzzzzz.

Wizards. My putting confidence came out of nowhere from the first putt with them.

The Opto Pure I lost a few weeks ago...

Since I am mid-level advanced at absolute best, I am capable of picking up a new disc and maintaining my scores. However, if I were to lose my dyed beat-in Star TeeBird I would absolutely cry. Thus the reason it spends most of the time on the wall and only gets out to stretch its legs once or twice a year when I know I will not lose it.

My 150 DX Eagle in hunter orange. My first driver ever. When I don't know what to throw, this is it. (not that that's the only time I throw it). Beat in big time... Love it.

My SS turns a degree or two more likely on full power and good Z Buzzes won't. The SS has a more forward flying milder fade. I haven't done a side by side comparison with those but i think they aren't too far apart distance wise. But can't put numbers or order of distance on them.

I own backups so losing one disc is not bad but the Beast is my go to driver and Z Buzz the mid.

Hmmh, I don't think losing any disc would hurt my scores too badly. I can adapt driving practically anything reasonable very fast, and I don't form THAT strong emotional attachments to discs. If I would lose my putting putter mid tourney I'd be in trouble, but other than that? No real problem for me.

Maybe my Roadrunner? Quite a few courses around here have tight tee shots where it's nice to be able to throw a driver on a deep hyzer and know the disc will flip up, over and finish right. Tough to get that late turn without a really understable disc. Also useful as a distance roller on a similar type of line. Throw 'em low so it lands on a shallow angle and they ride up for a long time and flip over. Several of my longest birdies came from RR rollers.

My Diamond. Love that disc.

My beaten flat top, hard-as-hell plastic, tie-dye Champ Valk. (I lost it last summer). Tried plenty of Valks since, they're not the same.

It's the only disc I really miss.

From my current bag maybe my go-to driver, nicely beaten Star TB. But I could live without it.

My Tracker. Ever other shot I could pull off with something else. A must for me on hard dogleg left tee shots and getting out of trouble with a forehand.
