What's your 50 mph headwind disc?

I have been using a Discraft ESP Predator with decent results but when winds get really strong I can still flip it. Part of it might be technique and weight (I think that mine might be only 167 grams or so) but I am looking into other more overstable options. Anyone tried the Westside Giant? Legacy Rampage might be another option.

I have tried the giant. I would say that any really fast disc will the job but you wann some thing that is overstable for some one in normal conditions. For example a disc that fades hard left. Throwing into a head wind will pop the disc up to flat, which means flat you throw slightly hyzer. I like flat disc because they tend to hord a better line than a dommey disc.

I like using the Drone for those windy days, but 50mph winds will definitely make it turn over. 50 mph winds will make any disc turn over lol

Nuke OS is great. I wonder if u have some off axis torque that's causing it to turn over....

I just ordered a max weight ESP Predator that will go into the bag on those very strong wind days. Otherwise the lighter weight Predator will be used for daily driving.
