I just won a Wolf and am wondering what people think of it and how it fits into there games. I threw it a couple of times 50 ft or so at my backyard basket with great results. Straight as an arrow on long putts. I haven't thrown it hard yet and am sure it will turnover easily. I am just amazed at the no fade putt approach shot. Let me know what u think

Understable beat into super squirrelly. I never liked it.

Yeah I had thrown one that was really beat before and hated it. Super Squirrelly is the right word. However, If I only use this new one for between 50-100 foot shots and avoid hitting trees at force I am hoping it will stay as it is and be a nice disc to have in the bag.

It's only purpose is for rolling IMO.

It's an excellent disc for beginners. It's the tourney disc for our Triple Crown of Ice Bowls (Redlands, Palm Desert, San Marcos) where there are more than a few newbies. It's a great disc for teaching people to throw low and straight.

I hadn't thrown one in quite some time myself before I picked up the order and tossed. Turns over quick and stays there. Straight out of the hand can be a nice line drive with a gentle anny fade. It won't replace my long-term relationship with the Stingray but I can imagine some folks really liking it for mid-anny touch, particularly if they're fans of the Thumbtrack grip.

Alas, I wouldn't want to throw it into trees either and expect good results in the DX.

low speed stable. high speed flippy. good disc.

the wolf has the best thumb track i've ever seen.

Harold Duvall can roll a Wolf a long way. He uses a Bonopane grip too, I am pretty sure. Not sure if the thumbgrip helps with that. It's a good disc to give to beginners because anyone (pretty much) can get it to flip, and when you get a disc to flip and gain that extra 50 feet of distance, you just might be excited about disc golf.

Best description so far...

...having never thrown it :p

I played a practice round with Harold on the Jackson course at the IDGC last spring. There are quite a few tee shots that require an anhyzer shot to get around the first corner, but you must stay on the fairway. These are longer holes (400-500 ft), so I tried throwing drivers to "get out there" but kept missing the tight fairways. Harold kept throwing this beat-up Wolf about 250 ft, right to the middle of the fairway, and then would through an open approach to the basket. He was kicking my butt. I now carry a Wolf most of the time.

Why do we all say these are good beginner discs, but as soon as we start competetive play its nothing but Destroyers and Illusions because so and so can throw it this far, its the fastest, etc.

Testosterone. :D

I hit a 100 foot shot with the Wolf this weekend. It is staying in my bag!

Since I yacked earlier about the Wolf I thought I should give it a more thorough test run. Played a quick nine at our local pitch n' putt this weekend with just a Wolf and my Aviar putter. Really fun, made me think about some shots that I usually have grooved with other specific discs in my bag. Hyzers needed a very thoughtful angle and release, but worked fine. Flips were great, annys nice and tight on a couple of holes.

Yes it is a great beginner disc and there's no shame in that at all. I also have Stingrays and Panthers in my bag and they get plenty of play.

I took my sons and we tailed Ken Climo (Nate Doss, Micah Dorius and Manabu Kajiyama too) around La Mirada for the second round of the Golden State this past May. Ken put on a mid-range clinic, en route to a -10 and a rather comfy win the next day. His mid-range shots - mostly Rocs I think - were so precise that he rarely had to make a long putt (though he certainly made a couple impressive ones). Lots of drop-ins for birdies. He was not the longest off the tee on many holes, but he had the box for most of the round, and seemingly effortlessly. His mid-game was simply superb.

In trying to develop a bit of a disc golf community with a couple of new courses nearby I've had the chance to chat with many new players in the past year. "Straight and low" says Ken, and so it should be. Accuracy demands comfort with some mid-range and touch discs as a building block to whatever may come later.

Find a great "beginner" disc and go from there. And never forget the basics.

Star Wolfs Dave?
