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.

Aviar Forever !!!! ;)

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. :)

Tsunami BUZZZ and Challenger :D

I have three favorites :eek:

Is that against the rules???

I was kinda glad when I could just get back to what I knew how to throw, rather than what everyone else was throwin.



Throw what you know homie.

I always say if it aint broke dont fix it :D

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 !!!!!!! :eek: :cool:

ce tl

150 Flick
Buzzz
Wizard

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 :(

Beadless Aviar, been in my bag for 16 years.

Any Max Weight Big Bead Aviar...

"S" Demon or "S" Blaze

Beadless Aviar, been in my bag for 16 years.



AKA the stable *****

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.

Beadless Aviar, been in my bag for 13 years.

: ) :

S Wizards have been in my bag since I discovered them 2 years ago. Never thrown a more comfortable disc.

Give me my rocs. San Marinos for turn overs, 8X or Protos for straight shots and my 01 CE Rocs for Hyzers.

JLS

have 2 (168 and 174)

they were the first two drivers i had

tomahawk, roller, hyzer, anhyzer, straight, forehand, backhand

love em'

Champ Shark is my flavor of the month, waaaaayyyy better than that flippy 05 Roc. :oOh yeah, cant forget the big bead Aviar that Carlton told me about. Thx Carlton cya in Raleigh

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. :D

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.

Glo rancho rocs.

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

X-Challenger does it all.

Cant live without an SE leopard in the bag... I am glad I have around 10 of them sitting around

White 172 shark. it looks like i have a remote on the thing. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

<<<<<-----------


Prolly that one. 173 ZBUZZZ
I carry 2-3 Every Round
173 Z, 177 Z, 175 First Run D

Are you kidding me? A wizard dreams of being an aviar and knows better than even thinking it's as good as a ROC! :D

The wizards are ok but for durability, predictability and overall performance DX, SE, KC or CE doesn't matter. Head and shoulders above the wizard.
I know your pimpin your ride man but lets keep it real.

Elite X Comet.

When I first got it, I felt cheated, if I put any angle on my throws whatsoever it would hold that angle until it hit the ground. After hitting a few trees/fences and skidding on some concrete it now comes back just in time, and doesn't glide quite so much forever. When I was struggling and playing so horrible (1 step forward, 10 steps back..) that I wanted to quit the sport, I put away all my discs except this Comet and my XD putter, switched to a fan/pinch grip, and slowly made my way back to respectibility. When I eventually go back to using drivers this disc will still have a place in my bag... well, I don't carry a bag, but I'll hold it in my left hand when not using it. :D

whoa, slow your roll big pimpstar- why you gonna compare a putter to a midrange? unless you were meaning to knock the hustle of the element...which i hope you weren't, cause that element is one bad mother, shut yo mouth! what, i'm just talking about the element. ;)
and i did use aviars, but i use only dx/s plastic for putters and i prefer the feel of the s, and i think it ages a little more gracefully, not unlike the much agreeable Olsen twins... :D

like i've said before and many other wiser than i have said, whatever tickles your pickle, floats your boat, fits your fancy, makes you happy in the pants, etc. etc. etc. :p

Unless you get the anorexic one... she is looking a little rough with her entire rib cage protruding from her in all directions, but all and all... good point about the wizard/roc controversy. I like the roc for midrange shots (still haven't gotten any of the elements yet) but my wizards are my go to discs. Brand new or beat to heck they do what I want, when I want. Put that in your pimp pipe and smoke it.

Ferretface :o
Making comparisons to the Roc is even sicker than to the Aviar. Not sure what you got in your pimp pipe but crack a window my brotha, it's coudin your vision and twistin your mind! :o

I was just having some fun with Discindeaddud. I think he spends more time on here pimpin his ride than throwin plastic. Either that or he is building one heck of a collection of ground up army men! The pay to be one of Dave's slaves must be pretty good. He has a comment to every thread no matter what it's about and it always comes back to Gateway. I just think it's funny and was giving him some shiz. All in good fun, no need to get your backpack bag in a bunch!

The Beast,Wolf ,Buzzz and stingray are my favorite discs! :D

9X aviar, it does it all.

I will second that!

overall favorite: buzzz

favorite in all categories:

long driver: orc
control driver: teebird
midrange: buzzz
putter: wizard

I liked Brians list....

Overall: Leopard

Long driver: Orc, but The Beast is catching up
Multipurpose driver: Teebird
Turnover/rollers: Leopard
Midrange: Buzzz (If candy rocs weren't CFR only, Roc would be #1)
Approach/shortdrives: Big bead aviar
Putter: Small bead aviar

Firechicken all the way.

Which ever one I am throwing next

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I like the Bulldog over all, it's the best disc ever made

teebird
dx no less.

Chris, what is a bulldog, did it just come out, I seem to remember hearing about it recently, but my short term memory isn't what it used to be.

I'm not really sure, I think it's a cross between a putter and a midrange, kinda like a Hydra I think.

Can we really trust this guy? I mean he's only got a measly 1014 rating, and didn't even make the top 10 at worlds... bah! (yes sarcasm intended) :D

personally I wouldn't trust anything I say on here . . . except that stupid rule change about the 2 meter OB. I HATE the new rule and it's not even in effect yet!

Sounds like a Wizard.???

PRO-LINE GREMLIN!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE INNOVA STOPPED MAKING THESE!!!! THE ONLY DISC I HAVE ACED WITH. :)

I agree wholeheartedly. I stockpiled 25 167-171g Proline Gremis when I heard they were discontinued & I hope they can last me throught the rest of my DG career. :)

FX

I bought a box of Gremlins when I heard that they were discontinued but I keep losing them. I'm gonna try to find another midrange to throw in the snow this year. Maybe the element.

Gremlins and Elements are comparable...nice choice.

Tsunamis Wasps BUZZZs and Challengers :D

Funny they all are Discraft discs. Who would have thought??? :p

Its a tie between KC Roc and Champion BS Beast

Love my first run Z Buzzz's! One is now beat for turnovers and a brand new one for straight shots and slight hyzers. This disc is so versitile!

Hey chrisheren,
what change are you talking about? I heard they were gonna remove the in a tree rule or make it optionaly or somethng.

My first disc is my favorite a 156 DX shark that I got when I first joined a league. I played with borrowed discs from my uncle before that. I was gonna get an XL( OOOH Tye Dyed) but I was turned in the right direction. My game would be alot differant if I learned on an overstable driver. It was lost in the snow for three months and has been runover by two cars.

Yea, they are going to get rid of that rule for 05' unless the TD specifically says otherwise.

Just saw your post. Sweet.

My favorites did not show up in seven pages of reading. Cobras. They are my approach discs. They also pull my backside out of assorted stupid places. On top of that, a DX Gazelle has helped my game a bunch. I finally have a disc that turns left the way I want.

an old ce tl that i trade a beast for.

Classic Roc! DX and the original CE's. They were born for playing in the woods of NC. Although, their value drops considerable on the long open fairways of Texas...

i love the classic roc to! I also throw in the woods here in Mass. :D

I have a new favorite disc . . . . The Innova Sidewinder!!

my favorite is a 171g orc.

Loving the Sidewinder. Still finding stuff that it does well for my noodle arm. It will do incredible long floating anyhyzers with ease. Home Run Dave. :)

Flat Top Z-Buzzz

nice and stable, very predictable

I have a new favorite disc . . . . The Innova Sidewinder!!



When is the CH sidewinder coming out Chris?

Back on topic...

My favorite has to be the 2001 CE Classic Rocs, great for any shot under 300 (board distance)...

orc!!!

Here is a unique reply... Roc.

Moolie, I think that your avatar is sending out messages hidden in code. Trying to hypnotize the message board readers? Hard to move on to more posts... must watch avatar... :o

I love my H spirits because they go long and are sooooooo predictable. My S element is the perfect anhyzer mid and My blaze is just like the sentinel which i love. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

What do you mean I didn't know of these open fairways. :confused: /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :confused:

variety!!!!!!

My Fav disc has to be my 179 Climo Roc. I have had it only for a couple years, but i dont know what my game would be like with out it. It doesnt have a stamp on it any more, and those of you who have disc like this know what i mean when they say that it's special and this one is to me *tear*

at the moment it is a stratus....and a new 175 ce leopard that is still very stable.....but as far as overall it would be the roc kc,flat top,super roc,and classic rocs......the sidewinder is working out nicely too...

JK Aviar-x

The Wizard.

<font color="red">RED </font>

Definitely JK Pro Aviar-X (softer 3x one)

I'd be at sea w/o my 3x supersoft Aviar-x. That texture-y plastic is the shizz for chain slammin'!

Classic Rocs and Pro Line TLs

The Innova Liger.

a great disc.........

... I like your sleeves

I'd be at sea w/o my 3x supersoft Aviar-x. That texture-y plastic is the shizz for chain slammin'!



I'm partial to the 3x's too. What are your thoughts on the soft (second run) of 4x's and how they compare to the 3x's? (we won't bother discussing the accidental stiff 1st run of 4x's :mad:)

Elite Z - XS, I carry two in my bag, so I always have a backup

ROC

Champion Beast

TSUNAMI, even though the name brings up some horrific issues, the disc is still the shizz.

was- ce spider (lost that b!tch though :mad:)
now- aurora ms

CE Teebird TL (early run ones), straightest disc ever...

it'd be a tie between my roc and teebird

Blowfly!

Or a Z XS (But I am really starting to like my Z Crush too because I can also sidearm with it)

Ron Russel Z-Comet

Sweet and Pure.........

Yeah I have a Z comet that was given to me. Jim where's my Z-storm? :confused: :confused:

Ron Russel Z-Comet

Sweet and Pure.........



the disc or Ron?

????????? but i heard Jim is Jerry's mistress. :eek: :eek:

Whatever I am throwing...

ORC

greatest distance disc ever

CE aviar, I seem to throw this disc more than any other...

Best Tail-Wind disc

Champion Beast REALLY HIGH! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Yeah I have a Z comet that was given to me. Jim where's my Z-storm? :confused: :confused:



Since you're throwing all Gateway now Matt, you won't need that Z Storm. I'll throw it for you so it won't feel left out!

I might not throw it now but I can keep it for a rainy day. :D:D

scooter throwing all gateway??? kids are so gullible!!

ive got a tie for first for my favorite disc...the beast and the whippet tie for gold

Z-Xtreme, this is the most predictable disc out there. It does one thing??? Turn Left(that is if you are right handed) Very accurate.

the ROC or ( the next disc that i'm going throw ) by TThe PRO

Ever since switching i've won both adv tournaments and would've taken 2nd and 1st in open. Matt's rating with gateway 991. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Unfortunantly that will probably change this weekend.
