Default Favorite Disc??

When I first began playing disc golf this summer, I had a very limited choice of discs. There is only one store around me and they have a horrible selection. So I looked thru them with little to no knowledge of flight paths, etc.. and settled on a dark purple Valkyrie (173g). Being my first and only disc for a month or so, it got beat up pretty quickly. I now have about 10 discs and this beat up Valkyrie is still my favorite. I've spent hours looking for it in piles of leaves and woods. I've thrown it into rivers, only to retrieve it with a stick. This disc is just as loyal to me as I am to it. If it makes it thru my first full season, I will have no choice but to retire it. Anybody else have any discs like this?

I've lost (well, thought I lost) and found the same disc (TeeBird 175g) 3 different times. Once there was a span of about a month in between when I lost it and then found it. I couldn't lose this disc if I tried. I use it on any hole where I'm not quite sure what to throw.

I had the opposite happen to me. When the Z-XL came out several years ago, I won one. I loved the way the disc looked, nice and clear blue, it was awesome. But I could not throw it. I carried it in my bag and tried to learn it, but could not get the hang of it. I accidentally threw it in a river twice, and both times it was returned to me. Finally I threw it in a lake (not on purpose, of course), never to be seen again. I was kinda glad when I could just get back to what I knew how to throw, rather than what everyone else was throwin.

I had not been playing for very long when the first Z discs came out. I thought they were just about the coolest things I had ever seen, so I bought a yellow Z-XS that I just loved. It was my workhorse driver for quite a while, but I managed to hit a tree and have it roll into a pond at a little course in Provo, Utah, where I was playing while on vacation. I tried and tried to fish it out, but I had to give up and abandon my favorite disc. Never bought another Z-XS.

But I did recently buy a yellow Z-Flash, which has quickly become my favorite driver. Unfortunately, this past Saturday it was run over by a car, seemingly deliberately, and appears to be slightly warped. If this disc is hosed, though, I will buy another one.

Just like the Doctor Ordered :
" I'll throw them all Day , I'll sell them on Ebay."
"I'll throw them from my Bed , I'll throw them till I'm Dead".
" I'll throw them to Jed , even if there only Red ".
"I'll throw Glow ones at Night , Just to watch there Flight".
"I'll try to throw the Copies ,even if they are too Floppy".
Aviar is King , it will help you get Bling-Bling !!!!!!!

Of these, the Buzzz is my current favorite, but that changes from round to round.

I had (still have but can't throw) a Viper that look like it has been through hell and back. It's hit street, been run over by cars, has a big gash on one side where it stuck to one of those t-shaped bars they use to stake up new trees. The worst hit it took (and flew better after this incedent by the way) was when it got run over by a bull dozer at McClure park in Tulsa when they were working on the water retention area. That was fairly early in it's life and for some reason made it a SWEET disc.

After a long hiatus from disc golf the TD at the first mini I played told me I couldn't use it in competition anymore

Z- XS and a 1st Run Z Buzz. I stopped using the Z-XS for a bit, only to start using it again even more than I did before. Both are stable discs that do whatever you want them to.

Z Buzzz, I've had it for about 6 out of the 8 months I have been playing. Its beat enough to turn over, a perfect disc for woods.

Champ Leopard, another ole reliable disc.

Small bead dx avair, king of all putters.

I never go anywhere without these discs, all overstable and straight discs I can switch between without preference, but the 3 above there are no subsititutes.

I have a Wizard that I owned before I even played. I bought it to play catch with, thinking it was cool b/c it was heavier and smaller than what I was used to.

A year and a half later...its my reliable flippy Wizard!

Not really my favorite, but true story.

definitely my wizard(s); i carry two for putting, one beat/one newish; one for approaches, beat to hell and back, and i have about 6 others that stay at home for practice.
the element is slowly becoming a favorite though...maybe having the element x to compliment it will solidify its presence

Thats what I was just thinking. Can't wait to throw them...and to let Roc throwers crap their pants when they throw mine.

I'm hooked on my Buzzz. I have two DX Valks in my bag one new one beat up, its getting a little too flippy, but I'm going to buy a flash (in Elite Z plasitc) and a Tee-Bird. See which disc stays in the bag? I'll always have my valk, I just need something a little more stable now that I'm getting better.

the Buzzz replaced my Roc, and my Ryno replaced my Aviar. But I just scored a DGA Reef, which is supposed to be jsut like a APX, and drop straight. Wierd I thought the Reef was Elite at first... heh, I'll have to look again.

I've putted and short approached with an 86 softie for the past 16 years so I guess it is the disc I'm most loyal to.
For low ceiling finesse rollers I love a dx leopard. When it comes to wooded courses that are even remotely rollable this disc results in more birdie putts than anything else.
For longer approaches and drives up to 320' I'm really loving the D Buzz. Very similiar to a roc but straighter and more forgiving.

150class Z-Flicks - This has changed my game, through scores and distance...
Z-Crush - You can make it go right, straight, or left
ProD Challenger - A-tier putter, great for wind
