What about the halo from lat 64?

 

It's pretty overstable, kind of Desroyer like or maybe a tad more overstable.
Probably not going to give you a straight flight.  Really anything faster the the SL is going to have a more pronounced fade.  You really should try a TL... it's not faster than the SL, but it's nearly as long for me and there isn't a straighter driver out there.

Have you ever heard the saying "there's no such thing as a free lunch"?  Well, it's true in disc golf, too.  As much as I have dreamed of the perfect disc, which flies a mile, dead straight, I've never encountered such a thing.  Why?  Because it doesn't exist.  A faster disc may fly farther, but will turn and fade more.  A slower disc may fly straighter, but it will only go so far. 

Given this (perhaps unfortunate) set of facts, my suggestion would be to compromise, which seems like what you're already doing with your SL.  My choice for shots like this is almost always a beat in Champion Teebird, thrown as a hyzer-flip, although other stable, beat in discs may work great for this shot as well.  Once you've learned your disc and gotten the hang of throwing it with hyzer angle and letting it flip up to flat, this is a pretty consistent shot.  I won't promise that you'll be parking any 450 ft. tunnel shots this way, but you'll end up in the middle, and score lower, much more often than if you go for ace runs with a faster disc.

yeah i love my teebird and eagle too.

i just feel like im out growing the sl ive been throwing them since i started and itll stay in my bag, just hpoeing!

Broken record time...The Vulcan was dead straight fresh out of the box. Also, just to give you a baseline idea. I throw around 300 to 330 feet and there was just a mod tailwind when I threw it. This thing blew past the basket on the hole I was practicing on. The only time it varied from a straight line, was the skip at the end. It does have a big hyzer skip, but it skipped about 10 to 15 feet and approx 5 feet to the lft. SOme others that fly and land straight that I have thrown are.... Monarch, Vision(another long one), River, and the Sidewinder. The longest of this sub group would be the Vision and if you have not tried Lat. 64. I'd say their Gold Line plastic is the least stable out of their plastics.
me to,but i manage to get sidewinder D ,300 ft,down hill last week,and i mean down,last week 600ft 171g sidewinder,on this hole
Man, this is off the subject, but I havent seen New Hogan that high in a long time.
