The most overstable Kings VIP tall dome no wing drooping kind are like that even though they too fade hard once they slow down like the Dominator. Kings glide more and have a lower power requirement.
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.

I'm back from a little hiatus. I injured my knee backpacking about two months ago, and had to take it easy for a while. It was a good break from disc golf. Since getting back, I've beeng carrying a 12 disc bag, my run-up and throwing motion are slower, and my acceleration has increased. I also realized I didn't need such a complex bag.

I don't want to change much other than figure out if I would benefit from a Zero G Quasar and if I need my Firebird.

Quasars - 380' bh, 350' fh
Beasts - 400' bh, 350' fh
Teebirds - 380' bh, 325' fh

Distance
176 First Run Q Quasar - beef
176 Q Quasar - longer beefy teebird
169 Champ Beast - line shaping and distance
167 Champ Beast - understable, tailwind distance

Fairway
173 Champ Teebird - point and shoot, relatively flat, high PLH
173 DX Teebird - understable, different from the Beast in that it's easier to range

Mids/Utility
175 Champ Firebird - thumbers, not used very much
178 DX Roc - fresh, stable
176 DX Roc - seasoned
177 DX Roc - beat
166 DX Roc - flat, straight flyer for touch shots and tunnels

Putters
175 Champ Rhyno - approach
167 KC Glow Aviar - drives
173 KC Glow Aviar - putts

Zero G Quasar will give easy distance and for an injured guy getting back into business it is a help if you can get enough behind it. Whether it will go as far as the Beast depends how hard you can throw now. It gives good D for power input ratio though even when it fades out due to a lack of speed. Certainly better than heavy normal Quasars. Unfortunately PLH variance is large and flight lines too in Zero Gs.

I picked up a 142 ZG Quasar with moderate dome. The jury is still out on whether it's beneficial.

Two other discs I'm trying out - Pure and Comet. Both are filling niche roles that I don't have. The Pure is incredibly straight. With mids, i'm trying a 176 DX Roc with a 176 Z Comet and 172 X Comet.

I keep taking 16-18 out for rounds, but really only use 8 or 9. I'm also getting a good feel for the ZG Quasar. Here's my refined 12 disc bag.

Distance:
175 Q Quasar - headwinds
148 ZG Quasar - no wind
168 Champ Beast - stable control
167 Champ Beast - tailwinds

Fairway:
175 12x Champ Firebird (flat) - utility
173 Champ Teebird - headwinds, stable shots
173 DX Teebird - understable

Mids:
176 DX Roc - stable
176 Z Comet - straight
172 X Comet - turnovers and touch shots

Putters:
173 Champ Glo BB Aviar - stable drives
175 Opto Pure - straiiiiight
173 KC Glo Aviar - putts
175 KC Glo Aviar - backup
