I have two vikings in my bag... A 162 & a 175. In perfect conditions I can launch the 162 forever, but if I snap it too hard it just flips over.

Like Diron said, my Champ. Beast is more predictable than the Vikings.
Don't forget your towel!

I have a 175G Viking. It compares to my more stable CE Valks except is has a little more fade at the end of it's flight. It is definitely not a good head wind disc but can be a great straight flyer if you don't try to over power it.

I didn't want to start a new topic so I'm posting in here: What discs are people throwing when there is a little stronger wind, especially head wind?

The two drivers I've been throwing are a Cheetah and a Beast. The Cheetah gets tossed around; the Beast flies pretty well. Just wondering what some other options might be to try.

hey Serg, try a firebird or a monster for these strong winds we got.  For shorter holes in a strong headwind I throw a CE Viper, it always hysers out no matter how strong the wind is.

Just to let you guys know, I am back in K-town...right next to parkside accually.  My computer is not yet hooked up to the net so I'll have to post as a guest for a while.  My # is the same..704-604-3553.

QuoteWhat discs are people throwing when there is a little stronger wind, especially head wind?
When driving I typically throw a beast.  When the big winds start though heres what I throw..

Drivers - Proline/CE - Firebirds. If it's an extreme wind I throw a Speed Demon

Midrange - G5i Demon (it's like the CE-Firbird of midranges)

Thanks alot. I appreciate the comments.

I do have a Monster but haven't thrown it yet. I'll give it a try. I think I have a Firebird. It's a logo disc and I can't really read the writing on the bottom...it's either a Teebird or Firebird.

Shawn: You'll have to make sure you let me know when you play during the week. I usually get out of work around 4:30. Now that it's staying lighter later we can probably play longer. Either email me or PM for my phone number, or I'll call you and give it to you.

Same goes for anyone else who wants to get together and play Parkside during the week.

The orc is pretty good into the wind especially at higher weights. I switched to the orc  from my pro banshee. I know a lot of people are starting to use the orc as their wind disc and when it isn't windy. This thing flies.

I've had this debate one too many times, it's pretty simple...

best headwind disc = an overstable one

surprised?  :blink:

Spirit, Speed Demon, Firebird, Banshee, Monster, Xtreme, blah blah blah

:P

I am so glad to be selling Innova.  How glad?  $40 per day glad, every day this week, working one hour a day.  That's $18 an hour in profit for playing nine holes and then eating a sandwich with my trunk open.  And the sandwich only costs about 35 cents!  It is helping that the kids are off for spring break and the weather has been good.

For those of you who are throwing Firebirds: is a there a major difference between the DX and Champion plastics when it comes to throwing? Does anyone have preferrences between the two?

I have a DX right now that has gotten pretty beaten in and am looking to pick up a couple more. Just thought I would ask some people's opinions. Thanks.

I haven't been throwing Firebirds a lot until this winter/spring. My be CE Firebird FX is a straight flyer. My CE Firebird F is very Overstable. I alos have a Pro Firebird that is SUPER Overstable. My DX Firebird that is beat throws similar to my CE Firebird FX. I have not thrown a Champion Firebird.

To sum it up, I can't answer you question :huh: .

I've got a 166 Pro Firebird that's extremely overstable, and it seems to NOT fight the wind like it should, but I just need to figure out how to throw it, I think.

I like DX Firebirds into the wind; they do beat up fairly quickly (although not as fast as DX Valkyries) but then you've got a good roller disc - I had one that was my favorite forehand roller til my brain cramped a few weeks ago and I left it on the ground :blink:  

So anyone with beatup 170-ish DX Firebirds, let me know....  ;)  I've got LOTS of stuff to trade...
thanks,

Could I possibly play any worse if I didn't practice putting??

kyle

On the rare occasions I've thrown a driver in the last few months it's been a DX firebird.

I have a proline and a newer champion, but they're both way to overstable for my arm. I saw a post from Dave at Innova on the PDGA boards saying all the champion firebirds being produced now are FXs which would explain why they are so overstable.

myndcraft

Its all about the firebird. I cary 3 with me. 2 DX (One beat one new) and 1 Champion.

BTW Damon I got the perfect FB roller for you :D
