The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I have a general rule, but by no means is it hard and fast: If my disc needs to turn left, I throw backhand. Conversely, if it needs to turn right, I throw forehand. Therefore, my primary forehand discs are all super-overstable molds (a few Flicks in varied degrees of beatedupedness, Nuke OS, Speed Demon, Spirit) so I KNOW they will go right and not turn over. But they require a TON of snap on an anny angle. That isn't to say that a turnover forehand with a Wraith, Teebird, or Predator doesn't have value, its just less predicable.
My Two Sense...
Permalink Reply by Jeff Nichols on May 2, 2012 at 9:47pm I recently got into throwing forehand myself after throwing only backhand and overhand shots for the year I have been playing. I have no real snap yet. So, about the most stable thing I throw forehand is a brand new Champion Wraith. I can get out to 230-250ft, if I am lucky. My new FAVORITE flick disc for upshots under about 175ft is the Champion and Star Eagle . Dead Nutz STRAIGHT for me with a predictable Finish. The Star Eagle in my bag is a 150gm. It takes NO EFFORT to Flick it on a B-E-A-utiful line. I hit basket on a 140-145ft upshot yesterday with it. Nice little forehand flex shot. GREAT DISC for that... :)
