Want to buy 4 Apes to perfect my sidearm?
13 Replies

I am a RHBH, thrown since 1994 (with 11 years out in the Caribbean). I used to throw 300, now average 270.  Working on my side-arm, my APE is the best control for distance. Yet Innova says don't use…Continue

"The ape is one of the biggest baddest discs out there. It scares me...and it wants to hurt me.  "

"I always recommend the Raging Inferno (not the DT version) for those that throw forehand. The inner lip is curved and feels like it's almost molded for throwing forehand! Very comfortable to throw, and it beats in from super overstable to…"

"To learn to control forehand drives you want the most forgiving disc with the least stability you can get away with.  So a dead stable ( flies straight, finishes mostly straight) disc without a wide rim.  Exactly what this disc is depends…"

"I've been practicing/starting my forehand recently as well.  Is it ok to throw mid via forehand?  I'm getting a lot of wobble so far.. which I think means to much power and not enough spin.. any advice would be great.  I…"

"I don't drive all that much with a sidearm throw anymore. I still do it when the shot calls for it however. I prefer to use the sidearm shot for upshots and my disc of choice is a Banshee because it is so controllable. If you are having…"

Want to buy 4 Apes to perfect my sidearm?

I am a RHBH, thrown since 1994 (with 11 years out in the Caribbean). I used to throw 300, now average 270.  Working on my side-arm, my APE is the best control for distance. Yet Innova says don't use the Ape unless you can throw 300 all the time? I've tried Boss's, Katana's and a couple different Nukes. None of what I've thrown or tried from friends, works for me like the Ape. Yet I have problems with head winds. I carry 10 discs and own 40 or more.I think I prefer understable, too.Why shouldn't…See More
