How’s it going everybody yes I am finally back it has been 2 weeks now now here’s the thing when I started this channel one of the goals I set out to accomplished was never missing an upload always having a video out every single Monday I really wanted to be consistent

Because I think that is a huge part of a successful Channel and I didn’t want all my audience to have to miss any uploads now like I said it’s been 2 weeks I know that’s a big break but I do have a reasonable excuse my wife and I actually

Just welcomed a new baby into the world I had a little baby girl so uh yeah that is why I’ve been gone for the last two weeks I have been living the parent life but without further Ado we are now back I will be back every Monday

Now moving forward now that I’ve had a little bit of time under my belt with the newborn and kind of working that schedule and uh dealing with the sleep thing uh as you parents will know that is quite difficult to navigate but this is my second one so I feel like I’m

Doing a little bit better this time just wanted to give you that little update before we get into today’s video but today we’re going to talk about 10 discs that I wish I would have bought sooner now I’m making this list for a specific reason basically these 10 discs are

Discs that I’ve only had in my bag not necessarily recently but it took me I’ve been playing disc golf for around 10 years so these are discs that entered my bag years into the game you know discs that I discovered later along the line and these are discs that I wish I would

Have known about sooner some of these are less popular moldes some of them are a little bit more known but in any case I’m trying to get them in front of you so if you haven’t discovered them yet this is your chance I’ll go through each

Disc explaining them why I wish I would have known about them sooner and I’ll show you some shots thrown with them so that you can look through them and decide if there’s any that you want to check out next week I’ll be back to making content out in the field playing

Disc golf like I said with the whole baby thing it’s been a little hard to get out of the house but I think this will be a fun piece of content and hopefully you enjoy it I’m super glad to be back making videos and I’m really

Excited to push out more content for you guys all right starting in at number one on the list and these are in no particular order is the DGA hurricane now this disc is on this list for a couple reasons um I would definitely describe this as one of the more

Underrated molds on here this is one that isn’t super popular just because DGA itself as a brand isn’t super popular so that’s one of the reasons it’s on here but I think this disc has something to offer that a lot of discs don’t at least the popular ones amongst

Other manufacturers and that is a more forgiving max distance driver now like I I I’ll give the disclaimer some of these discs are still Advanced player discs uh some of them are more beginner friendly I would say a lot of them are beginner friendly but like I’ll mention the the

DJ hurricane this is not for your beginner player not every disc on this list is just disc I wish I would have had as a beginner um it’s more so discs that as I got better at disc off I wish I knew about so that doesn’t mean this

Is a beginner list so the hurricane kind of falls into that category because you do need to be able to throw you know at least 300 feet uh to get usage out of it but it does its best when you can get it 300 when you have that 350 fot and above

Power that’s where you can get your best out of the hurricane and the reason this disc is so special is for a couple of reasons um number one it’s incredibly comfortable in the hand I’ve got two here this is in the uh the Pro Line kind

Of an older run that I really like and this is one of the newer Tour series uh I guess this would be considered kind of their SP line which is a more of the uh see-through kind of durable plastic but it’s incredibly comfortable in the hands

It’s a bit unique in the sense that um a lot of drivers that have a little bit of flip up to them and are faster are really narrow this one has enough room to get my fingers under which I really like that’s something I’m super particular about and brand new out of

The box what you’re going to get with a hurricane is just a beautiful heer flip flight just a little bit of Hiser flip not a ton just a little bit of push up the flat and they just go super super far the first thing I noticed when

Throwing this disc was wow I am getting so much distance for the amount of effort I’m putting into it they Glide a ton as you beat them in they just become better and better uh this one’s been worn in a bit it holds its stability they don’t just become rollers but you

Can start to give them more and more Hiser get more turn and Fuller flights out of them and by the time you get them seasoned in like this they are just incredible I I discovered this disc because they were really popular obviously amongst the DJ Pros I mean

This is the the main one they would throw um so this was kind of a niche disc you know DJ has some pretty notable Pros now but back in the day they didn’t there were guys like Peter McBride and Shasta Chris that threw the hurricane and that’s kind of how I discovered it

So yeah if you’re looking for a distance driver if you’ve kind of just been searching around you know the vast Galaxy of distance drivers that there’s out there and you’re kind of landing on the popular molds like your destroyers and your forces nothing wrong with those

But you might look for you might want to try out the hurricane cuz I think it offers something different both as in hand feel and flight I think it’s very unique and it is an incredible disc it is super super effective on the course all right number two on the list this is

Another very underrated mold and that is the Drone from Discraft now I would categorize this as being overshadowed and I will say I found the Drone funny enough pretty early into my disc golf career I actually bought a first run Z drone very quickly like within a couple

Years of playing but I never never really gave it a really good chance and I I didn’t come back to the disc until just a few years ago probably when this Z swirl uh run came out for ledstone the reason the Drone gets overlooked is because of the Zone in the disc craft

Lineup right one of the best approach disc out there it’s got that overstable finish and people Loop the Drone into that category but the problem is it’s a different disc I would actually say this is closer to the malta but more what people want the malta to be it pushes

Further than a Zone but still has a nice reliable fade at the end but not quite as much fade it more Fades forward instead of biting left like a Zone might so I think this is a great disc even if you do carry a Zone you can layer this

In and have something faster that goes a little further but it’s still got enough torque resistance you can also throw really nice forehand with this disc that’s something that a lot of people are looking for I know so many people that throw a disc craft bag struggle looking for that overstable mid-range

They try to fill it in with an overstable Buzz some people go to the WASP which I think is a good option and we’ll maybe get to that one later ler but um the uh the Drone here is just an incredible disc I think more people need

To try it I have it an ESP Crystal and this Z swirl I thrown them all and it’s just a phenomenal flight I really like throwing Flex shots with these um shots that have a long nice s but come back at the end it’s very reliable and uh you

Can just wear these in and they stay overstable at the end but they get straighter and straighter um but it’s just a phenomenal disc and I think so many people Overlook it just because of the strengths in that disc craft mid-range lineup and like I said when

The malta first came out people I think wanted this disc they wanted something that pushed straight but had a nice overstable finish at the end and that is what the Drone is I think this disc already existed it’s really comfortable in my hand um it has a beadless design

But um a little bit of depth to it which makes it feel nice and sturdy and comfortable in the hand and yeah the Z drone U I would try it in any plastic really but uh the Z swirl run was my favorite um these Crystal prel ones are

Also nice but really any run of them is a tremendous DP disc all right this next disc should come as no surprise because it is my signature disc uh this year but that is the Supra from Finish Line discs so this isn’t just some kind of promotion I already ran the sale on

These they’re they’re all sold out now um so I actually do want to talk about this like the reason I ran this as a signature disc is because I like it so much um this is a disc that you know Finish Line didn’t ask me to put this in

My bag I just kind of discovered on my own and threw it in there and the reason this disc is so special for me is because I historically have not been a good Hiser flip player I really struggle with putting the disc on Heiser getting

It to stand up my release is wonky with it uh it’s just not a strength of my game and the Supra um I actually put in my bag when my flippi as rock that I had hit a tree and exploded and I needed something really understable quick I

Needed like that quick fix and what I decided to do go with was the Supra almost just as a placeholder I kind of just threw it in there thinking I’d replace it and I never did uh to this day I still have that same Supra in my

Bag now what I’ll say about the super is these clear runs that came with my uh signature on uh my signature disc we ran both a clear run here and we did the colored runs um there’s like assorted colors but the uh the clear runs are a

Little bit more stable these are like Heiser flip to flat but the typical Supra that the multicolored run was and that a lot of times you’ll buy stock are very flippy brand new you can give them a ton of Hiser they’ll get all the way up and over and that effortless Hiser

Flip flight um is something I really love that you could get straight out of the box I know a lot of people are looking for an out of thebox flight that gives you something like that a nice glidey heer flip and that’s what the supr does it’s just tremendous in the

Woods you can shape so many different lines with it based on how much power you give the disc it is awesome at finding um and hitting those gaps uh I just L the Supra it’s really changed the way I look at shots in the woods because

Now I have that Heiser flip shot in my game whereas before I different so or I didn’t so I would definitely check out the uh the Supra from Finish Line all right this next disc is one that is very special to me now and that is the

Slammer from Dynamic Discs now a lot of you if you see me play disc gol know that the slammer is like a prized disc in my bag um I had one in my bag for like over a year and then Robbie C threw it into a river thanks Robbie c um but

Since then I put another one in my bag that I’ve had for probably a year and a half I lost it in a river in Idaho and some guy went and found it and mailed it back to me so um I have a very sentimental attachment to The Slammer

But it’s my bag for a reason it’s not just some kind of gimmick and fun bit that I do I actually really love this disc and the funny thing about it is when I mentioned The Slammer you might be thinking about the one that Ricky

Waki throws hold on I think I have one ah here we go so this is what you might be thinking about these are the Saki Bomb Slammers these came out just a year or two ago and uh these are much more slow and overstable this is a different

Disc The Slammer I’m talking about up until recently it was discontinued they haven’t run these in a while but now they are they just brought it back back to life um which was awesome I actually was begging the dis Mania uh CEO to or sorry Dynamic disc CEO Jeremy rusco to

Bring them back uh kind of as a joke but then they did I don’t think it was completely up to me but hey um it couldn’t have hurt and um what I love this disc for and why I put it in my bag is it was really to improve my touch

Forehand up shots I I don’t really throw a backhand very often at all I mostly throw it forehand I like the thumb track design on the disc I think it sits comfortable but what’s great about it is these discs pretty quickly I throw them in a baseline plastic because that’s

Really what they make them in these days and they quickly beat into a disc that you can throw hard and flat and they go really straight without dumping off but they still have that torque resistance and that’s kind of rare to find you know a Zone unless you beat it in really

Really heavily is still going to maintain a pretty sharp fade at the end even once you power them straight The Slammer you can give just slight anheiser or throw dead straight forehand and once they’re beat in a little bit they’ll just go dead dead dead straight um they won’t dump super hard and

They’ll kind of just drop at the end you can really float them in they’re a slow disc they’re easy to control into a green uh I just found them such a great tool when throwing forehand upshots um I love throwing this disc on anheiser anytime I have a chance to chip out and

Throw an anheiser shot with a Slammer I know I’m going to get close to the basket they’re great for running the basket and staying close by this disc has seriously transformed the way I throw forehand approaches it used to be part of my game that I was a little bit

Nervy about something I didn’t completely trust but now with the slammer I feel very confident in that part of my game and it’s become one of my favorite favorite discs and like I said they’ve brought it back it it’s now being run again by Dynamics so you can

Check one out for yourself but I could not recommend The Slammer enough it is so useful out on the course it is a get out of jail free card it is the go-to for me inside of 200 feet when I have a forehand approach and um I think it is

Very very underrated because of how much people are they they Loop it into the conversation with your pigs and your zones but it’s a different disc than that it really is heck you can even throw it in combo with the saki bomb slamer and you have a really good one

Two punch this next disc is a great one and a disc that I can’t believe I didn’t know about sooner because of how insane it is and I still don’t know how people aren’t talking about this disc more and that is the Raider from Dynamic disc another Dynamic disc here the Raider is

So so good I discovered this disc in 2020 or early 2021 when I joined team Dynamic um for that year and this was one of the discs that I just decided to throw into my bag to try out um I’ve got a bunch of them um that I’ve toyed

Around with but I fell in love with this disc right away and the reason is kind of similar to the hurricane straight away you get just like a nice straight flight with a little fade at the end but these discs they do something special once you beat them in the disc that I

Have had in my bag the longest I think at this point is an orange hybrid Raider and the reason it’s so special is people knock Trilogy plastic a lot because they think it beats in really quick and I would have to agree I think it does season quickly but what they don’t

Realize is once it gets to a certain point it stays there really for a long time this Raider I have in my bag I put in there and beat into a Hiser flip to turn disc and it got there pretty quickly but it’s flown the same for like

Over a year maybe two years it really has so once you get them to that sweet spot these discs turn they go from a phenomenal straight to fade disc or a really good forehand disc very comfortable they turn into just this insane heer flip disc they’re also a

Comfortable 13 speed you can get a ton of distance out of these they offer a bunch of plastics um I think the fusion ones feel great like I said I have a hybrid one if you can get your hand on that um the Lucid ones are fine too I

Think they’re a little bit more flippy but it just is such a comfortable disc in the hand I think a lot of 13 speeds feel really awkward in the hand especially if you don’t have huge hands my hands are decent Siz but not massive and this one sits great and I also

Really love the way it feels in my forehand grip it’s got plenty of depth to get your fingers underneath the rim and it’s a forgiving flight it really is uh you can shape them so much I’ve had these discs in my bag for three years

Now and I will not go back and I wish I would have known about them when I started playing disc golf because it’s become probably my like it’s it’s definitely like a top two or three favorite distance driver for me in disc golf it really is and uh something that

I’ve only known about for a couple years I cannot recommend the Raider enough um another distance driver along with that hurricane I mentioned that you just have to try out if you haven’t it feels just at home when it sits in my hand all right we’re about halfway in but we

Still got some incredible discs so don’t go anywhere yet also if you have not liked and subscribed yet I’d really appreciate you doing that it really helps uh the video perform uh especially considering I’ve been gone for two weeks so you would go ahead and hit that like

Button and subscribe if you’re not also leave a comment down below if any of these discs you agree with or if there’s another disc you would add into this group um and I appreciate that feedback as well next we’re going to move on to the warbird from lonar disc now listen

Say what you want about war Lone Star disc and the way it’s been run recently I’m not here to give my opinion on that I just really like this disc and um it’s in my bag for a reason um I actually throw this very specific run the uh

Chandler Kramer warb birds that came out I’ve collected a bunch of them but they just the stock ones are great too and the reason this just surprised me so much is because at the at the time um I was looking for an overstable distance driver that was like

That next level up from even your destroyers or your forces those were the distance drivers I was messing with at the time and it’s really kind of difficult to find you know you can sort through destroyers and forces and find ones like this but these I found um I

Could just get my hands on them and they flew like I wanted right away where I could lean into them on anheiser and they would fight out on Flex shots but also not just be like not just fly nowhere because like there’s just like the in of a j Juggernaut and some

Certain discs like that um a n you could kind of throw into this category that just don’t Glide a ton so yes they’re overstable but there’s a trade-off of the fact that they just dive these actually still Glide and go quite far and they’re super super reliable and

I’ve had one in my bag for a while um I had one in my bag for probably a year or so that really got beat in and used a ton and still retain almost all of its overstability it actually just got a little bit more push to it which I found

Was awesome um in fact until I lost it I was going to just layer in another warbird that’s how much I loved this disc it’s another one that feels great in the hand and I think is super super Overlook because yeah when I threw all

The Lone Star discs I thought a lot of them were just fine um so I think this disc could get overlooked if you’ve tried some of their plastic and and just thought yeah it’s okay but I’ll stick to my other stuff but this disc genuinely

Stuck out to me as one that I wanted to keep around and that’s why I have literally traded I’ve got like a bunch of these warbirds this exact run now um just because I love it so much so I would totally give it a try if you’re somebody who’s also looking for an

Overstable distance driver that’s um if you got like a higher arm speed and you’re trying to have something super reliable uh this is a great option i’ I’ve loved it the next disc is on the complete other side of the spectrum from that one and that is the diamond from

Latitude 64 this is a disc I actually wish I found as soon as I started playing disc golf I actually found it much much later years down the line and by then it was a different disc than what it would have been when I first started playing but still incredibly

Underrated and very useful the thing about the diamond is it is one of the most understable drivers you will ever find uh I think for the eight speeed they give it there’s nothing flipper and so as a beginner starting disc golf I wish I’d have known about this disc

Because it’ be a phenomenal first driver option I have seen a lot of beginner players with very little rotation and arm speed able to get great flights out of these especially because they sell them in such light weights however I discovered this disc as a more advanced

Player and the reason being is because you can shape them in so so many different ways a lot of guys don’t think they would have any use for a disc this understable and beginner friendly as a more advanced player but if you can just kind of swallow your ego a little bit

And give a disc like this a try you will find that there are so many fun ways to throw shots with it one of the things I loved about the diamond is I wasn’t a great roller player and a disc like the diamond you can throw hard and flat or

Even with a little bit of Hiser and it’ll roll for you it does all the work um I’ve also loved throwing shots of this where I need to get extreme heer flip to turn angle or there’s maybe times where I don’t have a lot of space to make a throw so I

Can barely get power on it this is a shot that a lot of people don’t consider if you’re scrambling in the woods and you find yourself in a restricted spot where your arm can’t move a ton you don’t think you can get a lot of power

On the disc if you take something faster and flipp beier like a diamond and just give it a little flick you can get like a heer flip deflex flight out of it just because you’re putting like 30% energy on it and that’s a really useful shot in

The woods you’re going to get further than just trying to Chuck out a putter um I think this disc is so much fun to throw uh the more you keep it in the bag the more you will find reasons to use it and uses for it um it’s probably not for

Everybody but if you’ve never tried just having something like this in your bag that’s this understable you you got to give it a shot because it is a lot of fun we got another disc craft disc here this just like the Drone is super overlooked just because of the way their

Lineup is and that is the WASP so the WASP is a funny one because I think when this initially came out and back in the day a lot of the old school craft Pros did throw this disc um it’s quite literally meant to be an overstable Buzz

Um that’s the idea it’s got a bead on it giving you a little bit more overstability but it fits in that same um speed category that speed five category and it really does just that a brand new wasp will fly straight have a nice Dependable fade but it still has

Glide to it I mean that was the goal I don’t quite understand why more Pros don’t throw this and just disc craft throwers in general so many of them are looking for overstable buzzes I can’t tell you how many times I heard somebody walk into the store and be like I’m

Looking for an overstable buzz like it’s right here uh I now I understand if you don’t like the beaded um disc then maybe try the Drone maybe the drones for you this one does have a pretty noticeable bead that’s fine but if you don’t mind the bead this disc is tremendous and

I’ve also found that um if you’re somebody who really likes the Rock from Inova this or the Rock 3 I should say this is very comparable to that as well and actually more consistent I really like rock 3es I throw one uh still to this day but sometimes they’re hard hard

To find a good run a nice overstable run the newer ones can be a little bit inconsistent this disc is consistently overstable every time I’ve thrown a number of stock ones and I can lean into them on Annie have them kind of pan and drop left um they’re reliable they’re

Fantastic and I think they’re overlooked and you don’t need anything more than just a stock Z1 it it really is great disc craft doesn’t even run them a ton um or as much as they did just because they’re not as popular anymore but I don’t get it personally cuz I think this

Disc rocks all right we got one more mid-range and then a putter to wrap it up this mid-range here is another another DJ mold this is the rift um this one I found I think just last year and and this disc is just insane so this one here is the Katrina Allen signature

Edition but you can just get them stock and the rift is what a lot of people wish the buzz was I know I keep mentioning the buzz but I feel like there’s so many discs people try to throw the buzz to accomplish everything so so many discs are underrated because

People cover them up by trying to throw other mid-ranges um so sorry that just comes to mind I’m not a buzz hater I like the buzz I got like a good 25 to 30 of them on this shelf um but it’s just easy for people to compare to please

Don’t roast me um the DJ rift this disc right out of the box is a fast mid-range it is a Hiser flip to Flat disc that just goes and goes and goes it has so much Glide my first impression of this disc throwing it was throwing it on a

Uphill hole that was further than I would normally throw a mid and I threw this past the basket and I was just so amazed by how easy it was to get it there um I haven’t bagged it in a while just because my bag is you know

Revolving door I have so many discs to choose from at this point that you know not all of these are still in my bag but most of them are um but I would love to give it another shot because it is it is so much fun to throw this is a disc that

You don’t have to put full power on you can get a ton of distance out of easily uh you can throw turnovers with it right out of the box there’s a reason Katrina Allen likes it she likes throwing those heer flips um and I can see why the rift

Is a great great disc really really accurate and just a really well-made disc in general it’s also beadless very comfortable in the hand has good depth to it uh just sits nicely so yeah check out the rift all right and the final disc I wish I had discovered earlier is

The pure from latitude 64 now I won’t harp on a ton because a lot of you have probably thrown the pure but for me this is a disc I didn’t dabble into a ton of Trilogy until later in my disc golfing uh career so that’s why some some of the

Trilogy that is more popular is maybe on this list for me but the uh the pure it is just such a great tool in the woods in the open wherever you want it um the great thing about it is you can get these premium ones you know I’ve got

Like a glow opto like moonshine one here and this one some kind of like color glow one and these are actually like dead straight you can pump on them kind of maybe pop them up the flat and they go really really straight and handle a decent bit of torque then you get these

Baseline ones you beat them in a little bit and they turn it into such a Workhorse heer flip disc in the woods or just an effortless upshot disc um they’re beadless they’re very comfortable to throw they Glide without barely any speed and rotation the pure

Just rocks I mean I heard a lot of things a lot of good things about the pier when I got into a disc golf it just took me a long time to try it and it’s been very hard for me to go away from it during the last five or six years of

Playing disc golf because of how good and consistent it is as an understable putter in my bag um but like I said even the premium ones are great if you want a driving putter you get these uh premium plastic ones they are really useful for that too but I really liked having a

Baseline one that I just beat in a ton get to be super super Flippy and you can just work all kinds of different lines so if you haven’t gotten to the pure I know a lot of you have you should give this one a try all right so those are

All 10 discs hopefully you enjoyed this video like I said um had to do kind of a mostly indoor video today just because I haven’t been able to get out of the house uh the whole baby thing but next week we’ll be back to more of the traditional content but hopefully this
