I recently signed up for the PDGA. I got the discraft esp Stalker.For what I know it flys straight as hell when released even. It will follow any line if thrown anny and carry turn right. If anyone has any comments or previous history throwing this please post. Im not used to discraft but im starting to love it.

A double eagle?
So you got an ace on a pro par four hole or a deuce on a pro par five hole?
Sorry, but more than likely, you're referring to the inflated Steady Ed pars for recreational players which are somehow still finding their way on to tee signs at courses.
Steady Ed's philosophy was that pars on the rec tees should be calculated as 3 Par (200 feet or less), 4 par (over 200 feet to 275 feet), and 5 par. (275 feet to 325 feet max) FYI, nobody serious about the sport of disc golf pays any attention to those. Far better modern day guidelines for par can be found here: http://www.pdga.com/documents/par-guidelines

Ed was probably trying to make those beginners feel good about themselves so that they would become serious one day. Those pars might be good for Super Class today?

Yes, I got a deuce on a par five at a course in brunswick maine, the course was "beauty". Yet I think their scorecard is off, otherwise it made me feel really good about my game. But enough about my terminology. The esp stalker.

The stalker is a buzzz on steroids. Staight and longer than the buzzz.

I took my new z stalker out to field test yesterday. It has a very consistent flight pattern. I would have to say that it's more like a Wasp on roids. I wouldn't use it for anything over 300 feet and I really liked the sidearm action I was getting with it.
