I'm bored at work, so here is a new thread.

Most people I know have a go to disc in their bag, if you aren't sure of what to throw that is what you go to. That one disc that has been in your bag for a long time now.

So what is your go to disc?

Mine is a 2005 Special Blend Roc, Red 180g. Got it right when they were released, great disc. Like it so much i went out and found 12 more for backups. But I still have the first one in the bag because they just take so long to break in, this one still flies the same as when i got it. I have 3 aces with it including my only 'grenade' ace.

: ) :

Told you I was bored at work.

...an old SE-TL or my Rhyno or my Demon...HA! :D

My middle Roc.

You don't get gifted or born into "Middle Roc" status, you have to earn it. :)

DX 177g Rancho Roc - "Ol' Red" - Middle Roc...

Mid - 170 Champ Cobra
Driver - Star TeeBird

Pro Beast

Seasoned 10x KC Roc

Off the tee:

QJLS

About everything else:

ELEMENT-X

Go to disc, regardless of distance......ESP Comet
It will go on any line I put it on up to 350ft.

my sweet blue first run buzz that's been in the bag since day one . . . oh wait, i threw that in a nasty swamp-monster pond . . . ahhhhh!

currently auditioning other buzzes/rocs from the stash for the new lead role.

if i was to play in a one mold + putter tournament today, the one mold would still be the cyclone. imo, the single most influential golf disc ever.

175 g champ. Shark.

Middle roc, beat 9x.

Star Teebird
same flight every throw

167g STAR Gremlin

TeeBird - 11x Orange KC Pro. It was the first disc I ever purchased and still the most dependable.

driver- spirit
mid-kc roc

Z-TRACKER!!! From 180 to 420 ft...

Middle Pred

I'd have to say my Gateway Element - don't get huge distance but has such a nice straight glide and can pull it right with little fade

General Driver - DX Teebird......still love my Quest Inferno though when I want a longer drive 300+

ESP Buzzz

Off the Tee, Champion Valk, anywhere else, a KC Pro Roc (I think it is 11x)
DD

Nicely seasoned E Element.

Millennium Orion LS or LF off the tee, any thing else is a Coyote.

Middle Pred


Mine is a red 174 X Pred that was 'lost' in a thorn filled ravine for 3 weeks. Now it's back and better than ever!

blue champion teebird -- about 169g.

Z-TRACKER!!! From 180 to 420 ft...



preach on bee

cfr glow teebird-best disc ever made

off the tee its definately my orc for distance and for technical shots its a champion sidewinder. everything else is a star aero.

Midnight Buzzz for 'regular' throws or Ch Whippet-X for anything else...though the Star WX is an up and coming contender.

300+ ESP XL
85- White Disc or Die Whitler (of course)

z-predator, best disc ever!

176 Clear/Club Dead Stamp 2nd or 3rd Run Buzzz. Says wasp inside the rim, but it's not the opaque plastic of the 1st runs. Had it in my bag since my third tournament. It has parked more holes, and saved my butt more often than the rest of the discs in my bag. Flys straight 150 feet, or close to 300 with a gentle pull right.

my go to driver would be my E Illusion or any one of my 3 e spirits.
Mid Range has to b e my E element X or E Warlock. i could use just these and be fine.

used to be a nicely beat in nike spirit. lost it.

now i'd have to say either my beat up rage (beat to fly similar to the spirit i lost) or my red E element X - straaaaiiight.

1st run buzzz or DX Aviar

-Scott Lewis

2001 se super roc in three weights 171,174,178
anything between 180ft and 325ft

CFR Champ Glow TL. Bought it back around Christmas 2005, has a custom stamp for the Sals Pals fundraiser. Good [censored]. It flies like a dream, and you can ask anybody: it is conceivable to see me throw it on every hole I play, long or short.

ch. monster!!!

174g Z Putt'r by Discraft.

Nicely beat 175g Soft Wizard or a 2 year old 179g DX Roc.

CE Spider

Which you almost lost ... twice ... on monster 16 during DGLO.

Stiff 4x JK Aviar.

X2, original plastic(170)....used to be a Sniper, but I busted it....

Shuttle Puppy

Driver = Star Teebird
Mid = Z Buzzz
Approach/Putter = D Challenger

1st run Buzzzzzzzzzzz

Predators....Are there really other discs out there?

Predators....Are there really other discs out there?



Innova Champion Coyote :D

Coyotes rock, but the JK Aviar-x is the last disc i would go without.

Predators....Are there really other discs out there?



Point well taken My_Hero... but when it comes to "go-to" discs, I'll have to stick with the Z-Comet (2003 edition).

And of course, the Swirl has a special place in my heart.

Coyotes rock, but the JK Aviar-x is the last disc i would go without.



JKAX's are what I putt with, but if I play with only one disc I will choose an Innova Coyote all day long. They are the straightest flying mid-range I've ever thrown and they glide a looong way. I shot a 64 (two under par) from the blue tees at Moraine State Park using only a CE Coyote! :cool:

gotta be my Crystal Buzz that replaced my long-standing Roc.
it goes straight even when I dont want it to sometimes!!

Well, since I seem to find myself in trouble alot, It would have to be a max weight champion whippet x...

But when not in trouble a CE/10X KC Eagle or beat flat top 11X KC Roc.

Orange E Elements

every disc in my bag is a go to disc. I trust and love each one exactly the same.

if you don't trust a disc, DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR BAG!

ESP Buzzz

Eight under at Firefighters last night. I'd forgotten how much I liked that Buzzz becuzzz I'd been trying out the FLX Buzzz.

How do you like the FLX Buzzz....I suspect that its probably more overstable than the ESP?

Good point! ;)

The only trustworthy disc is the DevilHawk....BELIEEEEEEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's called "warp-speed-plastic" (WSP) which has unlimited durability and a high velocity speed rating of 1.21 Jigawatts.

Its almost like they have a mind of there own!!!

BEAT UP OLD Z CRUSH! Straight as an arrow with a predictable fade. 300'+ drives, sidearm, tomahawk, thumber, whatever. It will do whatever I need it to.

I use it so much, "almost lost" is a phrase often heard when that disc is brought up. My ability to lose sight of the [deleted due to offensive content] piece of plastic is outdone only by my tenaciousness in searching for it.

uuuhhhhh. . . wizard, wasp, XL or pred. . . . depends on alot, so I guess it depends on the shot, which means I did know what to throw.

my answer would have to be a pred, cause if nothing else works throw a hyzer at it.

Hard to agrue with that! Z-Crushes are the only drivers I will throw backhand, forehand, AND overhand. In fact today, I distractedly reached into to my bag for my Flick to throw a thumber. After a sweet park job to save three, I was very surprised to walk up and see that I accidently threw my Crush (same color) by mistake! Easily the most versatile driver I carry. Although if truth be told, I would have a hard time deciding between a 1st run Z-Crush or a 1st run Z-Buzzz if I could only pick one disc for "go-to" status. I can't imagine playing a round without both of them in the bag.

so cunningham, how did you not notice that you werent holding such a thin profile disc as a flick ;-) ? btw congrats on that finish at HPC us true winners tie for 7th. ;-)

Well, in my defense, it's not like a Crush is actually a HIGH-profile mold! ;) I was playing the new Black Forest course with Jerry McGown, Mark Nielsen + kid, and both McCourts. I was still trying to find a route through the trees, and sort of reached into the bag while still looking at the canopy.

By the way, I highly recommend the course. It's heavily wooded and plays like some of the good mountain courses. Definitely not a par-54 course! I led the group with a 67 and only had one hole that I felt I played badly (took a 7, should have been a 4 or 5). Since I live south of Parker, I love the idea of having a mountain style course < 45 minutes away! :DNatural teepads, but I certainly did not have footing issues. It would be best to play with someone who has played it before or else you have to watch very carefully for markers leading you to the next tee box. Even then you will have to walk halfway down the fairway on most holes to see the basket.

Finally, do you know how hard it was to try and play to guarantee a three-way tie for seventh?!? I had to tank a shot here and there just I could be with the "cool guys"! :D Hope to get out on the course with you again in the near future...

i accidentaly did that one tournament. i needed to throw a spike hyzer to save par and grapped a beast instead of a firebird. i dont know how i didnt realize that. Well the beast stuck into the earth vertically about 2 feet from the basket.

Yeah, it's times like those that make me think I should just carry three molds: Crush, Buzzz, and Challenger (all Z) and leave it at that. I guess that would be my "go-to" set up!

i'm there nooky - i have avengers (understable) and talons (shorter than the crush) complimenting my crush, buzz, and challengers

your go to disc better be your PUTTER /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gifjust my two cents

I did that at BG this year at White. I think it was #8, maybe #9. The one that goes back towards #6's fairway, with the gravel path OB deep of the basket. It's a 380' wide open shot. There was a headwind, so I pulled out my orange max. I really threw it hard to fight the headwind. Turns out it was my beat up orange 168 teerex. It flew about 150' OB past the basket into #6's fairway. I was very puzzled as to how my max flipped over until I got to my disc. The group on #6 was laughing when they saw it.

Champion Teebird

Phenix!...or an ontario roc if its longer than 300

My game is in flux now as I am learning how to play. My goto was a 168 U2, but as I have grown I am finding it to either be a stingray or coyote... I really like the coyote. Its very straight. It doesn't have the "I need to get outta this way crappy place I got myself into" flexibility that the stingray does. I can throw the stingy over, under, and around (either way) all the crap that my amazing driving ability tends to get me into!

Hi Folks

I gotta' go old mold Hydra here. It's the only disc I never leave home without. I love my Champion Panther, my SOLF, and I'm even quickly developing a strong attraction to my Champion Roadrunner. But, my Hydra takes the cake.

You can drive with it, approach with it, and I always use it as my putter. "Go to" is definitely a good way to describe this disc (at least for me it is).

pastor keith

My friends make fun of me regarding the frequency with which I throw my green 2nd 1st run Buzz off the tee. With its very slight understability it holds any line true until it hits the ground. I could throw other discs, but why?

Update: Lost twice more this past week. Once at Vienna Park, once at Ottawa Park. Also I am saddened to hear that describing the proper color of my disc to people in a manner more accurate than any other is offensive. :( It is a bodily-function, dammit!
