This is such a great video! As someone who is at late stage beginner phase, this video opened my eyes about simply putting some discs away for now. There are some that I can’t seem to get to work for me yet. I used to think it was just a waiting game before I get good enough to use them so I best bag them and throw them in order to get my practice in. I can’t wait to get down to the disc store and start reconsidering some of my current bag. Thanks, Robbie.

The Nova. I think it came down to rim depth. On a fluke, I grabbed a Berg off the shelf like “what’s the fuss all about?” and instantly fell in love. I think for me it’s about being able to throw any disc in my bag on both forehand and backhand lines and the Nova just didn’t fit. Such a pretty flying disc though! I think you are touching on something I tell young guitar players. It’s more important to have an instrument that fits you and feels right vs what you’re seeing others play.
@michaelwhitlock6301 Жыл бұрын
I love this video. I think it’s why a manufacturer will have multiple of a really similar flight pattern of disc - take Innova’s Rat and Toro - because sometimes you just don’t like the way one works. Or the way there are manufacturer families where you can choose multiple that are super similar like Trilogy’s Harp, Savior, Culprit, or Suspect - and then you get the really close but kinda different discs like Anvil, Anchor, Justice, Slammer, Sinus.

Great video Robbie! You addressed some things everyones been thinking but not saying! For me it’s gotta be the roc. Since disc golf’s creation everybody points to a roc along with other similar discs like the buzzz for a straight midrange but I’ve always found them to be slightly overstable instead of straight/neutral how they are described. And I’ve never really liked any beaded discs so the roc just really doesn’t fit the bill for me. I also love to throw forehands and even though on backhands they are a little overstable they flip right over on forehands. Not to mention the awful way it feels to grip a forehand with a beaded disc.

Noah is crazy. The Volt is the best feeling disc in the world. One of mine is the Shryke. I can occasionally push them out past 400’ on a forehand, but I’m just as likely to burn them over or launch them way up in the air. Can’t seem to control the nose angle. The Berg is another. I love it for backhand. I love the flight I get from it on forehand, but it hangs up and late releases a lot. I’m doing some Berg only forehand rounds right now to see if I can figure it out. Because when it comes out clean it’s the absolute straightest forehand disc I’ve ever thrown out to around 225’.

Hopefully not being a R Pro that is less durable then regular DX, the discs will last longer when need to get the backups out for the DX Dragon I am using now.

Kaxe is probably the disc that's gone in and out of my bag the most. I got it last summer for glow golf, and I aced with it first time playing glow. It feels really nice in the hand, plastic feels great and it feels great when I grip it. But it's such an awkward disc for how I play. It's a bit too flippy to fill the gap of overstable fairway and it doesn't really fight back from an anhyzer enough to where it would be useful for me, a bit too fast for a mid. When it's windy I really don't trust it, and I still have a little too much OAT on my forehand for it to be useful there. So it's flight is just a jack of all trades between a cluster I have in my bag. So I'll remove it too make room in my bag, but I keep seeing it, become nostalgic to that first month using it, and then just bag it and never use it, until I eventually remove it and the cycle continues. And on the flipside, when I first got the Glitch, I quickly dismissed it. I couldn't throw it at all, it turned over too much when I tried giving it power, it was way too deep for my hands etc, but this year I've forced my self to play with it and it's become one of my favorite discs. Started out with shorter approaches instead of a Berg, but now with better angle control I'll throw it off the tee too, and even use it for some sneaky approach forehands. Inside that 40m range it's basically a lazer on a forehand, "flipping the bird" grip with the slightest of hyzers and it will hit some crazy gaps. Before I would only forehand super os approach discs and fairways because of my oat, but now that I've gotten better I can now propperly Hyzerflip my Mockingbirds on a forehand thanks to the Glitch.

Robbie, I believe Apollo just got some Strikers into his shop (Opto-Ice), you could give that a shot. Such an incredible underrated mold. For me it is the perfect straight-to-stable fairway driver, I can manipulate multiple angles with it and really power up on it and the biggest reason for that is the handfeel. It's "bulkier" than most fairway drivers in the hand and I feel way more confident with that feel gripping it than I do with something like an Fd or a Teebird 😬. It's honestly baffling for me how it isn't more popular especially for people with bigger hands.

I also prefer the Harp over the Zone for it's depth on backhand shots. I think I'd like the Zone more with a forehand grip but at this point I don't see a reason to switch. Also a few years ago you could only find the Zone in a few different plastics vs the huge amount of variants in Trilogy plastic.

Oh and I prefer the Prodiscus Razeri for the same exact reason of handfeel over the Innova Destroyer. I feel like the amount of people throwing Destroyers, Buzzzes and such is way too big and based on mostly hyped instead of flight. I'm NOT saying those are not great, GREAT discs, I'm saying way too few people try other options that are out there to optimize THEIR game.

I’ve tried to try the discmania essence. I’ve bought it 3 different times and gotten it twice in mystery boxes and just don’t click with it

for me its definitely the buzzz. The sharp edge on the bottom just doesn't feel good to me. And there are other discs that achieve that same flight

The Method and MD3 from Discmania. The Method is not as stable as I was hoping and the MD3 just couldn't get the Buzzz out of my bag. I love Discmania's drivers, but I have not had much luck with their mids.
