| Emil's Disc Golf Tips |
|
I think that often new players use too difficult discs, when he or she is started his or her career. They throw too overstable discs and frustrated when disc fly very long but wrong direction. I think that they must use easier discs like Flash or Storm first, because those discs fly just right.

Comments |
X Avenger
(170-170) |
At the end of last season, the X Avenger became my go-to driver. Before that, the Flash was my best driver. When Discraft sent me my first Avengers, I throw couple times that disc, and I know that Avenger is my new go-to driver. It is easy to throw and it isn't too overstable for me.
|
Z Flash
(170-172) |
Flash is good disc too. It is very fast and easy to throw. Before I get Avenger, Flash was my best driver. I use it when I have to throw long and straight.
|
X Storm
(170-172) |
When I throw shorter drives or approach I use the Storm. An easy to throw driver.
|
Z Extreme
(170 gm) |
If I have to throw roller I use Z Extreme. I can´t throw backhand-roller, but for finger-roller Extreme is my disc and I always carry one in my bag.
