Looking for an out of the box stable-understable driver

[Peot]

Also a little bit faster than you mentioned, but I've been digging this GL Flow lately. Very controllable and has plenty of HSS even without a ton of snap

have you tried a northman?

I'm really liking the TD in that slot lately. It complements my PD's perfectly. I've taken the P PDs out since I've added the TD's and it works great. Only two driver molds I'm carrying at the moment and I never feel that I don't have the right tool for the job.

The TD is way more stable than it's name would have you believe. You would have to beat one in. Anyway the bad news is that any disc that is understable(ish) out of the box is going to be squirrelly and harder to control. I would just recommend finding a fairly good controllable stable disc and beating a few in.

Or if you don't really want to do that, get a roadrunner and learn to control it.

@ frank

I got a RR in a players pack this weekend, its pretty much perfect for what I wanted so far, i also got some other discs via trade and prizes from the tourney to compete with the slot

SOLS, champ TL, RR, Rush TD in S.

Youre right about the TD, IMO, its more stable out of the box than a max weight sidewinder. I was expecting a slightly more stable RR TBH.

SOLS is too stable, im looking for a control disc and i have to throw it on a weird angle and really hard to get the turn i want and it feels terrible to throw like that.

Champ TL was wayyyyy beefier than i thought.

So for now ive settled on the RR for shots in a tunnel longer than my roc can handle, or shots requiring a straight finish or minimal fade.

For everything else I think my PD and Preds can handle it.

I've tried every flavor of OLS. A worn in MOLS completes this shot much easier than a SOLS ever would.

I have one that I spiked really f-ing hard a few times on some firm dirt , it sounded like it was going to crack. It is pure money to throw on hyzer and turn completely over with an 80% throw. 60% toss will flip it to hyzer and just fly straight and far. When new it would fight out of the turn if thrown too high, but now she's beaten into submission.

I also really like Roadrunners, but I think I get better flips out of the mid grade plastic. I'm a sucker for the grip too.

friends dont let other friends throw a vulcan

I was looking for a place to post this and did not find a dedicated thread for the Vulcan. Maybe for a good reason, because the disc is not good even though it has some interesting behavior components.

While i would not generally recommend a Vulcan for most players i found a few redeeming points with major caveats yesterday. I threw in rear winds from hip high reach back to about chin to nose high releases with about 10 degree hyzer. When the rear wind did not flip the disc unpredictably (ahem danger Will Robinson!) it flipped flat and flew like a bat out of hell. I don't think i've ever seen any disc move so fast all the time at weights around the 171 of that disc. And the wind did buffet and flip the disc a lot, although rear wind at the rip point does not mean rear wind all the way, where i was throwing. The skip is almost straight forward even from about 17' apexes so even if the disc dropped fast, it would still skip a lot forward to get about the D you would expect on a good shot. A snappy and clean release are mandatory, because this disc has no tolerance for OAT.

I regret not having my 161 with me, because i thought, that the 171 would be as useless as it was, when i bought it and threw it lower. The Star 171 flew and skipped for quite good distances. Around 410' mostly with some over and some under that. That is about the same as the infinitely more dependable Pro Beast 168. Overall i would not use the Vulcan on a course in winds, but now i'm curious about, how it performs in calm weather on higher lines. Still who needs a discs, that gets bounced to failure in rear winds at the tee? No matter if the bounces came from other wind directions hitting the disc in mid air, because that will happen during rounds. It is strictly a gimmick disc unless roller throwers like it. No good reasons to try it as a roller around here.

I just threw a very light Vison yesterday and it turned very well.

There are only two results if you search for it the right way. =)
