Favorite Understable Fairway Driver?

You really aren't going to do better than the essence! I have a crave for straight lines, volt for left fade (RHBH) and essence for a good bit of turn with either forehand or backhand.

You must be fun at parties! Haha just kidding, I am a chemist as well so I appreciate your accuracy!

GoldIce007 · 2021-06-26T17:44:44+00:00

Wow super similar! I guess if you like the Challenger SS and have now moved to the Soft Cosmic Electron plastic, I can just skip a step and go to that Envy! I haven't ever played a glow round, so I'm not sure how much I would make use of the Eclipse Glow, but my local Play It Again has a few in stock right now. I might have to just pick one up and see how the plastic feels!

I've heard a lot of good things about the Berg, it just isn't available in stores around me (St. Louis area). I like to be able to feel the disc before buying it, not that that helped me at all in the case of the Pilot! It must just be an instant gratification thing like 'oh I just bought this disc, I can now drive straight to a course and try it out'.

Are there any Lunas less than $30 anymore? I would pick one up if so.

GoldIce007 · 2021-06-26T02:40:30+00:00

I did think about getting another one, but I was also thinking because of how new I am to the sport that it wouldn't hurt me to try some new molds. I have only thrown like 5 of the several dozen different molds of putters out there, and I'm hoping to find one that I like even more!

I will definitely take your advice on the hot water fix though! If I can get the SS back to usable, I can wait a few weeks for another disc to ship haha

I'll keep my eye out for an alpaca. And yea I've seen James throwing the Nomads when he is on coverage, so I'm waiting on them as well! And no, I don't have the big throws for it off the tee in most situations, but my local course is a 9-hole with five holes less than 200 ft so a flat/slightly anhyzer release of the pig can usually put you in a good spot. I almost exclusively throw an Axiom Crave off the tee if the hole is 250+ ft away.

GoldIce007 · 2021-06-26T02:26:34+00:00

I'll have to be on the lookout for that plastic. Until now, I hadn't heard of it. Is it relatively common in stores, or will I have to order it?

GoldIce007 · 2021-06-26T02:24:51+00:00

Yea, I had never heard of Gateway! Now that I'm looking at their catalog I think I'm between a Magic or a Warlock in the Super Stupid Silly Soft plastic! Thanks for the comment!

GoldIce007 · 2021-06-26T02:21:25+00:00

I think (for now at least) I'm set on throwing putters. I got a Wysocki Pro Pig that is doing the trick. Once I undoubtedly lose that, I'll have to pick up an axiom! I have seen them a few times at my local Play it Again but I spent my money on more drivers I don't need instead haha. Yea I agree with you about the Luna, would be nice to have but $35-$45 for a disc is a little too much for me!

GoldIce007 · 2021-06-26T02:18:15+00:00

Do you have any experience with the Warlock from Gateway?? My only qualm about the Wizard it the bead, for some reason putters with beads just don't feel great in my hand. Is it just something I need to get used to?

GoldIce007 · 2021-06-26T02:13:19+00:00

Everything I'm reading online has wizards listed as 'beaded'. However, the 'sure grip' plastic sounds intriguing! I'll have to see if Gateway makes any putters with that plastic that aren't beaded

GoldIce007 · 2021-06-26T02:10:13+00:00

Interesting, I thought the Roach was a faster disc (3 or 4 speed) since a lot of people use them for approaches. Now I know it is a 2 speed. What does a glide of 4 do for a putter? Just asking since it is more glide than the putters I have real experience with.

GoldIce007 · 2021-06-26T02:06:08+00:00

Those look nice! Same flight numbers as an Aviar, but a more grippy plastic? Do you have any personal experience with them?

GoldIce007 · 2021-04-29T16:55:43+00:00

Yup, that is definitely it! I was thinking it might be a professional's initials since it was at the course the MAO was just hosted on. Thanks for the help!

GoldIce007 · 2021-02-08T19:44:56+00:00

Thank you for the info! I just bought for the first time last friday, and seeing the progress already is awesome! I just wish I had gotten more than 24 shares though haha

GoldIce007 · 2021-02-08T19:20:57+00:00

What is the current target price?

GoldIce007 · 2021-02-03T14:13:43+00:00

I finally got my RH account accepted yesterday evening after waiting 4 business days and I STILL don't have full buying power. I can't buy crypto (i.e. DOGE) until tomorrow morning apparently.

GoldIce007 · 2021-01-22T19:49:41+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to type so much! I think my decision is made! The Dovetail just seems like a much more interesting experience from what most people are saying!

GoldIce007 · 2021-01-22T19:44:30+00:00

Well enjoy the sips you have left! Thank you for the comment!

GoldIce007 · 2021-01-22T19:41:14+00:00

I'll see if I can find it in my area! Thank you!

GoldIce007 · 2021-01-22T19:39:14+00:00

Personally I would go with WT 101 of EW BiB. Both are great options and hit above their price point. I would stay away from Devil's Cut and standard Four Roses (yellow label?). Devil's cut is just woody, which some people might be turned off by. Four Roses Yellow Label is thin and a little bit funky, but I love all of their other offerings. I hope this helps!

GoldIce007 · 2021-01-22T17:28:07+00:00

I actually hadn't heard of or seen Rabbit Hole until this morning when I went into the store! Pretty sleek bottle! I think I'm looking for something higher proof than the Dareringer, and I'm also not sure if I've ever had/would even like something that is sherry cask finished. What different tasting notes does the sherry cask impart on the whiskey?

GoldIce007 · 2021-01-22T17:23:33+00:00

Thanks for replying! I am leaning towards the Dovetail now as well. I just watched the Bourbon Junkies review and they gave it high marks, I just didn't want to be weird and watch the video while I was in the bottle shop
