      How far can you throw it? I’m doing better with my Mako3 but still only getting about 230 ft. I’m 51 and have played for a year.

  • @benharrison5816

    I like slightly understable discs since there's mostly wooded courses around here. My Lucid Vandal is still my fave to throw. It's got the magic numbers for a 9-speed that make it fly forever and it's never gotten too flippy for me.

    @Iliyena87 Před rokem +3

    I will probably use the River for my turnovers in the future but I just don't trust it to flip at the moment, so until I've expended my Viking Discs Cosmos in Armor and Storm (super dome) I will keep them for that slot. Do mention the diameter on the River! It's larger than most drivers!
    Looking forward to test the green C-Line FD coming this week! Missing the stable flat shot in 7-9 speeds for the moment. ^_^

    Leopard3 has become my flippy Fairway driver. Recently tried the FD and it is a great consistent OS disc. Also trying out a Prodigy F3 and it feels like it falls right between the FD and F3.

  • @footfaultdiscgolf
    @footfaultdiscgolf Před rokem +2

    the prodigy F3 is a great beginner fairway, flippy enough for intermediate players to get good hyzer flip to turnovers

    that glidey fairway flick shot has been a new things I added this year, lean out and get around some big corners turning left with that understability, then flattens at the end, super helpful to get that shot in your arsenal

    No Diamond/Witness or Underworld - What's up? Also - the Genius. I have a feeling this was the more stable fairway driver video. Of course you did say Amateurs, which I guess is a step or two above beginner/novice.

  • @Railer61
    @Railer61 Před rokem

    I had a Tee ird till I lost it on a thick brush of a course, and just played Northwood Black yesterday and slipped my mind to throw it. Maybe just needed a very straight driver instead of my Explorer

  • @mikehandteDG
    @mikehandteDG Před rokem

    The only fairways on this list I don't bag are the Innova molds and I know they are great but I just don't like them, for the teebird I bag a Sidewinder in Champion which is a strange combo but it has insane stability but it still has that slight turn to it when thrown flat
