You're doing great, do not let personal experiences effect your game. You're a great player with so much potential, you'll go far. Keep up the hard work and never give up.
Star Caiman after 2 season for me is a great hyzer flip into 10mph - 15mph headwind for about 250ft-290ft if you throw it higher the finish is stronger etc.
you should checkout a Champion Glow Teebird.. thing is $$$ in headwind for hyzer flip to flat and a tiny bit of finish and you can throw it low to the ground and it glides like crazy and comes out of the hand clean too.. best disc ever.. goes about 300ft-330ft low ceiling hyzer flip in 15mph headwinds!
A lot of people may not realize how long you've been playing, much less been a pro-level player, but having learned about you in the last year or more, I'm excited to see you play. You're such a bomber! Maybe one day you can make some content on throwing, maybe how you approach training, etc. Regardless, good luck this year!
I’ve never really thrown a A2 but I’m pretty sure it flys very similar just not as fast. A2 flys more like a mid while the Peppermint flys more like a throwing putter
