I don’t get why people hate on the stego and tilt. They do exactly what they’re supposed to do. It’s be one thing if they were advertised as regular workable discs. But they’re supposed to be a brick that goes left. That’s the point.

No such thing as a bad disc, just bad throws yo

The Dragon is a great disc for what it is intended to be. Just to be used by beginners and give them some confidence throwing and knowing that it will float so they won't lose it right away. I still have mine from 12+ years ago and use it as a training disc when i take people out for the first time.

I found a dragon stuck in some pond mud and have used it here and there and it’s absolutely terrible and flips super easy due to its weight…. But… it does float so I still use it when around deep water!

The dragon is still in production. I bag it for over water shots. I can hyzer flip it and get it to fly pretty straight actually. A guy in my club said that weirdly enough for him different colours flew differently. According to him white ones are a tad more stable than pink ones. It's anecdotal evidence so take this with a grain of salt. Mine is a white one. It's pretty flippy, but when thrown smooth and with some hyzer it flies pretty great.

@jackl4laughs

2 жыл бұрын

I kinda doubt it's just the color making changes to the stability, I'm not outright dismissing that, but I'd point more towards the biggest factor in molding discs being weather. For example let's say you made a bunch of red, blue, and green Dragons one day when it's gorgeous out(higher temps, higher air pressure, but lower humidity) then the next day you stamp your white, yellows, and blacks but a storm rolled in overnight(lower temp, lower pressure, higher humidity), well it makes those identical molds different because of how the plastic sets in different conditions. It's one of the reasons Innova is seen as so inconsistent between molds, they make so many discs that it can be completely different conditions between some colors to others and that alone makes the discs fly a little different than the ones before. I still love Innova, but I tend to just buy their used discs when they have things I want and I tend to bring by bag to the store so I can really compare my favorite discs to ones I might buy. I have some of those godly destroyers from Avery Jenkins times, and for the most part I only buy other destroyers that have a similar feel and dome to them. Now if they'd just swap back the Nova plastic on the inside, the new ones rip like construction paper and break when they hit anything at any force. I broke one on a jump putt last summer, 1st throw I made with it on a really short putter course hit a tree and broke, and that was after I'd broken 4 other ones since Covid appeared. My 2 old ones(5 or 6 years) hit trees occasionally and never had a problem, the new plastic is worthless...

Bad knee/hip keeps me from climbing down the hills into the water so for me i grab them 6 bucks including shipping and they are sacrificial discs. Also i throw leftie cause of a bum shoulder and my arm speed sucks so they fly fine for me. The plastic even helps me cause of hand issues (factory job life ya'll ) so i just love them.

Disagree on the Stego. It is not made to throw a drive with it. It is made for short flex forehand tosses. I have more throw-ins from the 60-80 foot range than anything else I bag. A steak is not meant to be cut with a spoon. Use it properly and you might change your mind.

Stego/Baobab are both sick utility discs that are great for scramble shots and flick rollers. And the dragon is still in production

I have a setgo which gave me a birdie on its second shot. I love it for throwing over or around trees or bushes.

Putting Franklin discs on this was kind of lame also. They aren’t even pdga certified lol

I bag a Groove for forehand shots only. The groove track gives me a perfect grip. I find it to have a very reliable and controllable S curve. I feel I have more pin point control with it than almost any other driver in my bag.

I Love the Groove ☹ Second favorite forehand disc behind the Zone and ahead of the Escape

I actually found an albatross 2 weeks ago cleaning out my shed. I have no idea how it got there. I was like is this for real. It was so hard like toy plastic. I threw it and it went about 75' dove left hit a gravel path and broke in half. Good luck on 10k! Wish you all a Blessed New Year!

Congrats on 10k! Luke, I think your Berg content put you guys over the top... 🤣 Keep up the great content guys!

Why all the hate on the groove I literally got my first ace with one and both of mine fly the same

For some of us older guys, the 10 m Brick has to be the worst disc ever made. I haven’t seen one in 15 years. The minority of the weight is in the center of the disc. Imagine glueing 2 heavy mini’s to a wet paper plate.

I'd wager most who voted haven't even thrown several of the discs and are just going off what they've heard/read on line.

Egads, my daughter got me a Franklin starter disc golf kit for Christmas.... I can't wait to see what I do with the Albatross that was in it!

Dragons have become a meme at my club for just how understable they are. When I throw them backhand, they turn over completely and land upside-down. When I thow them overhand, they flip all the way though to right side up. And I don't throw unusually far or anything.

Interesting vid, most don't seem to be common use discs.. mostly very unique single situation utility discs that can really be replaced with learning shot types

The stego could be used as a utility disc where you have to get back to the fairway. Definitely not something to use to get distance.

I hyzer flipped a Franklin Albatross into a roller and had it not hit the wood line I think it would've gone a mile. It will always have my respect for that

For practice in an open space the Dragon is one of my favorites to throw from Innova. They do get beaten up and are only 150g so they are easy to overpower.

I don't see the sense in calling the Tilt a bad disc when it does EXACTLY what's its designed to do. It's on several highlight reels making WINNING shots.

my brothers first ace was a dx dragon tomahawk over water, it got stuck in a tree for a sec and fell into the basket hitting 0 chains. his 12th ace was a forehand with a tilt.

The groove is badass and is my go to forehand driver , I’ve birdied a or of holes with my grooves and will continue to do so ! I will take any unwanted grooves

Wild. The Groove was the first disc I ever got. Found it on a course and no one wanted it back. As I started to play with what was the only disc I had, I thought that disc golf was just SUPER hard. Nope. Well I guess as my interest in disc golf is coming back around I’ll try to get back into it, but I’ll go get myself a Buzzz or something to start.

I throw only franklin discs! Just signed my first 10 million dollar deal with Franklin to represent their discs for the whole pro tour!

I don't mind the groove. I think it's more like - 0.5 turn. Thrown a bunch and they all fly the same. Stable straight flight for 300 then a 30-40 foot fade. It's not great but I don't have hate for it.

Used to bag a groove, takes touch but each their own

Tilt has it's uses. Near to useless on open fields but that disc can do interesting things in forrests.

I think I own the flippiest Albatross ever... First disc golf purchase. Lost it in the woods. Played another year, learned the game.. and then someone found my Albatross. It spent something like 9 months (partly through the winter) in the woods, unprotected. It is absolutely unthrowable. I can attest to the barrel roll phenomena. I keep it on my shelf for its sentimental value.. but garbage otherwise. (SIDE NOTE, the putter that came in that pack is really good in my opinion, I still practice put with it to this day).

An approach that limits my distance to 150' sounds like a winner and the same reason I play with slammers and zone.

10K BOIS WE MADE IT

For me the worst disc is Prodigy D5: For those who like it - sorry, maybe I got a bad mold. I bag many prodigy discs but D5 just did what it liked to do - It was overstable when it didn't need to be and was understable when I put some hyzer into the throw. I think it's the only disc I haven't figured out how to throw. Maybe it's just me, but I love D2Max. It is may favorite : )
