Congrats on the baby girl! And thanks for this content… this is my favorite video of yours so far because I love learning about new discs. I learned about so many here
I think that the Jay from Innova is one of those discs that just gets overlooked. Not that there aren't pros throwing them, but when you think of Innova midranges, it's always the Roc, Roc3, Mako3, etc. The Jay flies so straight even without a ton of power, and it can hold so many different angles. Absolutely worth a try. Congrats on the baby girl as well! Glad to see you're back! Make sure to take some time for yourself too!
Rifts are great. My favorite recent discoveries are the Clash Cookie and the Kastaplast K1 Järn. The Cookie is like a nice, stable Teebird but the rounded rim is comfy like a midrange. The Järn is basically an A2 or Zone but the K1 is so nice feeling and a puddle topped one will give your Slammer a run for its money. Congrats on the girl, keep going!
I totally get what you're saying about DD plastic. I have a Lucid and a Fusion Sheriff. Both transformed within a year but they've barely changed over the next few years. Love my Sheriffs!
Totally agree with the Wasp! I got one here recently and fell in love with it. Won’t flip up and over like a Buzzz, but will flip up to flat and hold whatever line you want. And it still feels great in the hand, despite it being a beaded mid.
As someone who is new and been playing under a year I was glad to have heard at least of one of these discs. The latitude 64 diamond was my first driver and I still use it to this day. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for these other ones to give a try as I continue to progress in the sport!
Slammer all day. I have it in lucid, prime, and classic soft for the upshots. I use it a ton backhand, you can throw it as hard as you want and it never flips
incredible news about the og slammer coming back! i bought my first one on clearance shortly after it was discontinued, didn't know until i fell in love and started shopping for backups. i've been trying to stockpile them ever since but i can't wait to get them at msrp again
Pure is my main throwing putter. The gold line is sick, the opto X KT sig disc is beefy, the most ridiculous flippy one I have is this crazy run they did that literally smelled like blueberry or cherry lol.
I used to putt with premium plastic pures when I lived in Arizona because putter plastic gets trashed in desert, but now I mainly put with pilots and use pures for touchy woods shots. I have a moonshine pure that's the perfect dead straight that won't flip very easy
Congrats Papa Trev. Try the Millennium Aurora. Once you sand off the millennium flashing, it’s a 4-5-0-0 point and shoot hyzer flip machine in the woods
When I started playing 3 years ago I bought a driver and a putter the driver was a lucid raider and I cant gush enough about it its my go to disc for any forehand shots and being left handed thats most shots. It goes where I want it now that I have my arm speed up to snuff it bombs further than any shot I can make backhand and its just a really satisfying to throw ❤
Announcing baby's name could be out of your comfort zone, but what about a video where you share rejected baby names each time you dont hit your target score on a hole. I love the stories of "my name was amost X until my dad realized it was from this book." Assuming you didn't know the name right away... 😊 welcome back!
The disc I wish I knew about before now is the Infinite Discs Maya. My max distance is usually around 340 but I can full send it on a baby hyzer and hit around 350-360 with it. Halo has a little more dome for some more glide but the C-blend can hold up in a little bit of headwind without turning over completely.
Congrats on the baby. I love the LONESTAR Artemis for those shots where i might want to use a Zone but don't want the skip. I notice my Artemis will hit the ground and slide instead of skip. You should give it a try.
That slammer changed my life, funny enough its the only disc i can forehand with, between the old runs and Ricky ones, they are both money. Congrats on the baby dude. Judge was the second disc that i wish i would of started off with sooner, fluid judge has been my main putter since it came out.
I thought the Wasp came before the Buzzz? Great video sir! Ive been throwing a DGA Tempest so ill give the Hurricane a try. Id say try a Vortex for a flippy fairway
trev making a winning mpo/fpo team from the ground up. who else wants trevor's top ten vs hunters top ten discs give just those ten to two newbie players and battle it out
A disc that will ALWAYS have a spot in my bag is my maiden. Easily my favorite throwing putter. Great distance,slightly os out of the box and beats in to a fantastic flight.
I get what you are saying about the diamond. I throw a beat 165g Discmania FD. I'm amazed at some of the shots that I can throw with that disc. I have also been learning rollers with it. A slot that no one should overlook.
I would ABSOLULTELY add an MVP Inertia to this list. I dont think it could be named better. It holds whatever line you put it on, with a little bit of flip for someone that throws about 300-350. You put it on hyzer, it will push the whole way, anyhzer? Same thing. Incredibly underrated disc, strongly reccomend
Hey Trev, I'd love to get your opinion on the Yikun disc Zheng. I personally love it, but I want to see what it does in your hands. Preferably the Nature plastic or Dragon plastic.
You mention the Wasp was meant as an OS Buzzz, but the Wasp predates the Buzzz by a year. It was made to give Discraft throwers something truly stable like a roc, since the only mids they had at the time were the comet and hawk, which were flippy, and the MRX and MRV which were more OS, and OS mids were pretty unpopular in the 90s. Plus I remember the MRX having turn, but mine may have been really beat. So the Wasp is kinda a big deal, since it's a mid from an era we don't really see many Discraft mids from. I think the Comet is the only one that never left production up until the Wasp then Buzzz. Love the DGA shout outs and the Drone. I threw the Drone for a long time, ended up liking the DGA Quake a bit more. The DGA lineup is almost pure sleeper heat imo
The diamond was the first disc I got and wasn’t given when I started 8 months ago. Thanks to the local disc golf guy. Still use it regularly. I still don’t have much of a forehand, but I can make that do a forehand flight.
Little late to the party, but I always loved my fuse by latitude 64. Just understable and with a steady glide it was always a top choice as I was just getting into disc golf and still is when I need a reliable midrange. Would recommend to anyone looking for another midrange or understable/stable disc to throw.
Say what you will about Lone Star, I think their plastic is some of the most durable out there. Ive had a Tumbleweed for a year now and it flies just the same as Day 1. Tumbleweed would make my Top 3 discs in my bag, unbelievable rollers but yet a disc you can still throw on normal shots, its not nearly as flippy as the numbers suggests. Forehand or backhand
As a person who bags the Wasp, I'm always shocked when people watch it fly and say it's like an overstable Buzzz. I'm pretty sure the Wasp was released before the Buzzz since the first run Buzzz literally says super straight modified Wasp and have the Wasp tooling on them. It should never have been Roc vs Buzzz because a new Roc is overstable till you beat it in to become a money Roc. It should have always been Roc Vs Wasp. The reason I started throwing the Wasp was I was tired of cycling in new Rocs to get thay overstsble finish and the Wasp was readily available in premium plastic. Haven't looked back in 14 years since
