The Best Disc For Every Speed (1-15) 

I have THREE of the Missilens. THEY ARE NASTY.

I would've went teebird for the 7 speed

6 speed = Axiom Crave. It's the disc people ask me about the most, because it's sooooo buttery smooth. Amazing forehand and backhand.

I like the unique picks, but definitely Teebird3 or Essence for 8 speed and Ballista for 14

Playing with fire here... Great Job with the list! Straight to the point with reasoning.

Ballista pro is a popular 14 speed disc

Teebird3 for the 8 speed slot

Rather than having discs from all speed classes choose few different speeds and for those pick under stable, stable and over stable for each speed. That way you cover all of your game situations. It really does not matter which discs you choose. Just learn to know them very well and stick to them.

love the commentary

Great list! Only two things I would change are roc for 4 speed and stag in for the 8 speed.

Really awesome list bolstered by the fact you could really go out on a course with this "bag" and perform well. Not many holes outside a more understable option or two depending on preference

Nice list!

Solid list I think the 6 speed and 7 speed are the most questionable but I like that you committed to what you thought.

This is a great video. You should do a series for turn and fade at each speed. Best overstable one speed. You could also incorporate specific plastics so like best three speed overstable could be the zone in flx plastic etc etc. great content, this Channel will make it for sure. If you need discs to give away or review please reach out

Love the list especially since I bag a few of them and it makes them feel famous to be featured in your video. Hopefully they’ll use those positive vibes to not hit the first available next time I throw them.

The River is the only disagreement I have. Your list is strong besides that.

Kaxe Z would be a good pick in the 6 slot too.

Solid! I think you did a pretty good job!! I only truly disagreed on your 7 and 8 speeds, which I would have nominated a Teebird and a TL3 for, respectively, but everything else checked out! =)

Only things I would change 6 - Crave. Same reasoning as relay but I feel like the crave is more well known and has higher usage rates. 7 - Teebird. Its too good not to be in and is way more popular than the river 10 - Anax. I'm not a discraft person, but the Anax seems more usable than the PD. Definitely underrated Everything else is solid!

Great idea for a video. This was a very entertaining watch that I would like to see other channels copy.

Really nice list! I definitely agree there are molds of discs that are just replicas of Innova or Discraft molds.

I would LOVE an update version of this

Great video man! The Saint retro for slot 9 speed, and Star leopard for slot 6, and emac classic judge for 2 slot. Great list regardless. Oh and if you love the Wraith like I do, check out the Trace by MVP in neutron. It’s 💴.

I agree with almost every disc on your list except 2. 2 speed disc should be the wizard clearly IMO. Also the 8 speed should be the TL3 or the stag. Everything else on the list is spot on. Great list!

6 is an underrated rim width that most brands besides MVP don't mess with too much anymore. The relay, the resistor and the crave are a super nasty combo. Crave for straight-flying distance out to 400 or more, resistor for high-power flex and hyzer shots, and the relay for buttery turnovers.

Very bold picks here..

Mako3 as best mid IMO. Holds any line you send, and super stable in the wind.

6 speed - DGA Squall. If you'd have thrown it, it would have been on your list.

The 15 speed missaleen is a good training disc. It's smooth where you put your fingers, for both forehand and backhand

Over all i like your list. Its hard to choose only one disc in several of these spots tho. Me personally love discmania and latitude64 over most of these other brands. But thats my opinion. Some like cats and some like dogs i guess.

Solid list for sure. For 5 speed I would def have to throw my vote to the MVP Reactor. They are extremely consistent with forehand and backhand.

Innova XD is the best low speed disc ever made. Super stable. I have two from early 90's and still use them every round.

Not thinking about the sales numbers, but just the discs. Honarable alternatives imo. If you think Buzzz is a bit too understable and MD3 too overstable, Lat64 makes Compass that flies very true to it's numbers 5501, straight all the way with a slight fade. If you think Relay is too understable, Kastaplast makes Kaxe and Kaxe Z, they're both overstable mids and fly true to their numbers. Kaxe 6403 & Kaxe Z 6502. Is PD too overstable, Lat64 Musket which is slightly understable at 10,4,-0,5, 2 might be right up your alley.

Very respectable list. I wouldn't change much. For the 6-speed, the crave is a bit more popular than the Relay, but they're so close to each other. Either is fine. Also for the 8-speed the Volt or the Essence would have my pick.

Dude pretty much did a what's in the bag video for me. With 4 exceptions.

Maybe I suck because the only disc I throw from your list is the Buzz (but o have three of them!). 10-11 is my speed and I love the Sapphire (10) and Mystere and Scorch (11). But I've got a noodle arm, so... Thanks for a quick and helpful overview. Subscribing now!

This is a pretty solid listing, I would have choose the essence for the 8 speed.

This is kinda good concept, but I'd make an improvement and make best disc for each speed in each stability category, like "for high winds", overstable, stable, understable and flippy.

Well, this may be exactly what I was looking for. I grew up throwing frisbee and have been pretty good at it. I’m 63 now, so haven’t thrown much. Taught my kids to throw when they were little. My son is now 21 and is very much enjoying disc golf. I played a round for the first time with him today. Didn’t do too bad. I am considering buying all of these discs if available. Unless it is recommended to go another way. Let me know. Thank you. Liked & subbed.

Missilen is interesting. It is by far the fastest disc to go 300 feet ever made, but dont expect it to go much further. It feels like it just doesnt want to fly. For reference, I throw a destroyer 450.

My list goes like this: 1: Berg, and it's not even close. Agree. 2: JK Aviar-X / KC Pro Aviar / Big Bead Aviar / Aviar Driver (all the same mold). I like beaded putters, and I think this is the best one. 3: The Envy is a fine pick for this slot, but I like the TSA Praxis even more. Both discs are excellent on both putts and approaches. To me the Praxis is a hair better. 4: Innova Toro. To me it's the perfect overstable approach disc. It easily out-Zones the Zone. 5: This one is tough. There are so many good and different mids. The ones I bag are the MD1 (Reinvented), MD3 (Reinvented), and the Discraft Drone. IMO they are each the best at what they do. Honorable mention to the TSA Pathfinder and Westside Warship, which are also excellent. 6: OK, nobody knows about these but I'm telling ya. The Eye by Storm Discs for straight glidey shots, and The Duke by Disc Golf UK for overstable. Honorable mention to the Kastaplast Kaxe, which flies similar to The Duke. 6.5: Axiom Crave. It's no FD, but it's not bad. 7: Discmania FD (Reinvented) and it's not even close. IMO it's the best fairway disc ever made. 8: I'm gonna go with the DGA Pipeline but the Discraft Passion is a fine 8-speed as well, and so is the Lat 64 Saint Pro if you can find one. I don't typically bag a speed-8 and I don't feel strongly about these pics. 9: Innova owns the 9-speeds. Valkyrie, Thunderbird, Firebird, depending on the shot. Take your pick, they're all phenomenal. And if you can find a Champion Viking, it's excellent too. Oh! Also, the Discmania CD2 belongs on this list. It was made by Innova too. 10: Discmania PD / Innova Power Disc. I agree with you here. It's magical. The new C-Line Reinvented model doesn't quite measure up. I'm curious about the new Special Blend S-Line that's about to come out. We'll see. But for now I'm going with the older Innova-made mold. 10.5: TSA Animus. There are no other 10.5-speeds that I know of, but it deserves mentioning. Many people prefer it to the Wraith. 11: I certainly understand the Wraith in this slot. But I also understand that many think the Royal Grace beats it. For some reason I just can't throw them well. Personally, I like the MVP Wave or the Viking Ragnarok, but both are on the slightly understable side compared to the Wraith and Grace. 12: For pure distance, Destroyer, sure, it's hard to argue. But it depends on the plastic and the run. Or maybe the DD3 is better overall. I also think the Discraft Force is the best at what it does (go straight and far and then fade hard). 13: Dynamic Discs Sheriff. Fight me. I'll throw this over a Destroyer any day. OK, except windy days. 14: Ballista. I have an Opto Chameleon one that's more stable than others I've tried, and man does it go far. Honorable mention to the Westside Queen, which might be the farthest flying disc I own when there's a tailwind. 14.5: Axiom Excite. MVP/Axiom has several molds that they at least at one time claimed were 14.5-speed. Of these, I like the Excite the best. 15: I have both the Raketen, which is slightly understable, and the Missilen, which is overstable. Of these I choose the Missilen, but I would still pick a speed-12 Force to execute the same shots.

I own a rakaten actually, the other 15 speed from Latitude 64, I definitely don't have the arm speed for it but it's fun to throw and has a unique design.

for 4 speed i would have gone with the ROC

The nuke, wraith, and destroyer are must haves in my bag. Wraith was the first driver I ever used and I've kept one in my bag ever since as a go to when throwing close to water hazards because I'm so familiar with how it flies at this point both forehand and backhand

I vote explorer for the best 7 speed spot

Loved my missilen gold hex. We called it my BBD big black disc. Would absolutely hammer an anhyzer forehand and you knew it would always fight back. Lost all the ones I had and definitely miss them

When me and my friend started out playing discgolf 6 years ago we bought one disc each. My friend bout the 15 speed Missilen. He didn't end up playing as much as us be he's probably played 30 rounds and only used Missilen. So I've thrown that crazy disc. It's very overstable but goes fast. He has colored the disc silver/gray with some spray paint.

I used to have a missilen 15 speed driver. I remember it was fun to throw. Extremely overstable. One thing I thought was cool about the disc is there was a little plastic part on the sides with no ridges. I think it was put there to put your hand there when throwing. I was not really sure. I really liked mine. I lost it in the woods playing at my local course. I looked almost everywhere for it . Never found it

2: Judge is the best putter to start with. Works for intermediate players too. 3: Envy is the best by default here. 5: M4, Roc or Buzz are all in my bag. M4 is the straightest, Roc I can manipulate the most, Buzzz has the perfect fade. 7: F3 is such a solid fairway driver or for those 200+ straight throws. 9: Valkyrie, FX4 & Ronin are all great for backhands & forehands. The FX flies straightest & the Ronin gets the most curve. 10: Avenger SS can do it all for my backhands. Maybe the most underrated disc there is. 11: Wraith is better for forehands imo. This is also the speed I notice most players starting out can't quite get so get a 9 speed before getting to these. 12: Falcor & Destroyer. The destroyer gets all the pub and is obviously great but let me tell you the Falcor is awesome! I LOVE this disc. It's a nice compliment to it and flies different enough to justify space in your bag. 13: Katana & D3. Personally I like the Katana more for backhands and the D3 more for forehands with how forgiving it is. The D3 has a HARD fade so don't be afraid to anhyzer the hell out of it to get around a late tree bend.

This feels like the most influential or popular or unique discs at each speed. Interested to see what you see people throwing on the course. At mine P2, Teebird3, Wave, and Daedalus are some of the discs I see a lot.

My favorite 5 speed is the Apollo from Alfa disc love the feel in the hand and the trow😄😄

personally i would probably put Mako3 at the 5 speed. But great list!

6 speed I’d go with a dga squall, sweet video!!

I would have the Eagle and Raptor both on my list but other than that you've got a good list.

14 speed id say its probably the Ballista Pro. it seems like one of the only 14 speeds thats thrown consistently at the pro level

I love that he showed Another Round Disc Golf in Charlotte, NC in his video lol

I've thrown the raketen, the other 15 speed disc. It has thumb tracks, super cool disc

Most people who throw our disc the Honey tell us they are using it to replace their Zone because it doesn't get tossed in the wind as much and has a Buzzz like feel.

great to see Envy there given that is my putter and approach disc going on five years... three in bag when James put it on map... and given I am sometimes rated over 900 and as often as not registered for the year and due as many as three low level tourneys a year my opinion has corresponding clout

I love throwing the missilen as forehand due to its wide rim. But there is also the Raketen out there with 15 speed, which is just slightly more understable.

I love my Missilen for big spike hyzers. Decent overall list

Missilens and Raketans are great. The Raketan is my go-to distance driver

I now only throw MVP/Axiom disks! Love them!

Warship at 6 in my opinion but I understand. Also not having the ballista/pro at 14 felt criminal. innova dominates 7 speeds but picking the river over the explorer felt off as well but once again, not my list so I respect it!

A really cool and unique list but I would have picked the leopard for the 6 speed.

The top 3 for each speed would make for a very interesting video

How did you pick MVP Relay over the superclassic Leopard. Dx for beginners, but Drew Gibson can bomb the max weight in premium plastic

My only argument is 1 the glitch. It feels better in the hand. The glitch is a different way to approach. That's what 1 speed disc are supposed to be.

The Relay is great for forehand and backhand and glides great

Speed 7: discmania fd Speed 4: prodigy A2 (at least the beaten in variant)

My personal list (in terms of popularity/my opinion): 1. Berg 2. Aviar 3. Envy 4. Zone 5. Buzzz 6. Crave 7. FD 8. Teebird3 9. Firebird 10. Anax 11. Wraith 12. Destroyer 13. Nuke 14. Ballista Pro 15. Missilen

I threw the 15 speed raketen for awhile before losing it 😢 less overstable than the missilen I believe though the one I had was so beat in that it would flip upside down on a power forehand. I suppose it was fast but it didn’t seem to go very far and the hex dimpling didn’t feel good to me

1. Berg 2. Judge 3. Pure 4. Roc 5. Buzzz 6. Leopard 7. Explorer 8. Teebird3 9. Falk 10. Monarch 11. Wraith 12. Tern 13. Nuke 14. Ballista

In my opinion the boss is better than the nuke for the 13 speed slot.

I have actually owned both 15-speed drivers, a Missilen and Raketen. Being a forehand player the Raketen was awesome, but I don't have the arm to get the full use out of it so it made way for a Photon eventually. The Missilen was in my bag maybe 2 rounds. Just not for me.

should do the same list but factor in the plastic... would any change?

The missilian bombs. Pretty stable. But it goes.

1 Berg 2 P2 3 envy 4 Zone 5 Buzzz 6 Leopard 7 TBird 8 Tbird 3 9 Firebird 10 P2/Thunderbird 11 Wraith 12 Destroyer 13 Nuke/Ballista 14 Who care.

7 - (Teebird), 8 - (Essence).. I like the Teebird, TL, and Underworld all more than the River. Essence and TL3 are great 8s.

If wanting Latitude 64 on the list, you should have added the Explorer instead of River, a top top 7 speed disc. And besides that one, the leopard 3 from Innova is such a great 7 speed driver!

I hope you have had the chance to throw a glitch cause as a 1 speed it definitely does not just fall out of the air lmao. I kinda wish it would sometimes though

Out of all the disc's I have I use my Zombie the most. I find myself using it almost the entire game. I drive, approach and putt with the damn thing lol

I've gor the Missilen in 176g....it DOES fly!!! Got it in San Marcos

I found a missilin on my local course ..returned to owner 3 days later..had never heard of it

I wonder if Latitude 64's Rive will ever compete with the Nuke. All the trilogy pros are throwing it now. That Royal Grand plastic is fantastic!!

For me: 1 - Berg 2 - P2 3 - Luna 4 - Tactic 5 - Buzzz 6 - Warship 7 - River/Spark 8 - idc 9 - Undertaker 10 - Anax 11 - Grace 12 - Destroyer 13 - Nuke 14 - Corvette 15 - idc

Pretty crazy to not have the roc and teebird on this list.

The Vulture is my favorite 10 speed, but I’ve never thrown a PD so I don’t really have a say haha

Bought a Missilen when they first came out. I was excited to give it a try. Threw it one time… into a river, never to be seen again. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Respect for the bohrium I love that

JLS Milenium plastic for 8 speed, the best selling fairway driver of all time. 250 on a straight line, 300 on a straight line, 350 on a straight line. Grab your favorite putter and a JLS and go throw your personal best round with 2 discs. Mic drop

I wanna say, the rounded rim of the bhorium makes it harder, not easier, to throw At least if you have shorter fingers

I have a speed 15 disc! Raketen fron latitude. It was my first disc ever 😅

Buzzz rulz, gotta have one of thozzzz

I would go with a Teedbird3 for 8 speed, but otherwise good list!

1:polecat 2:judge 3:envy 4:harp 5:mako3 6:don’t throw one but (leopard) 7: FD or tee bird 8: tee bird 3 9: firebird 10:beast (I personally don’t throw) 11: wraith 12: destroyer 13: boss 14: ballista pro 15: raketen

I like my Pharoah for a 12 speed. I do love my Valkyrie as well

Honestly, I struggle to believe that any disc is the "best". Is a Zone really that much different from a Harp, Toro, A3, Tactic, etc? A destroyer really that much different from a DD3, D2, Zeus, etc? A buzzz any different from a Mako3? Firebird different from a Felon, Cap Rap, or FD3? I get the point about sales, absolutely that makes sense. But aside from that, different runs fly differently, different plastics feel different, they all fly pretty much the same anyway. Just my two cents Edit: the only one I can think of is the Boss, given the world records have been set with it

Think I would go with the Essence for 8 speed

for 6 speed check out the warship by westside. incredible mid that deserves way more attention and sales.
