Additional comments:
I track the # of rounds I play each year. As of January 1, 2007 played 3537 rounds of disc golf. 26 year average of 136 rounds a year or 2.8 rounds a week for 26 years.
Vulcan
Early test results looks good for a new long range driver in my bag. I throw it with hyzer & it comes up to flat with a long, straight flight. The Vulcan is great for a less powerful thrower like myself.
Mako
The Mako is very reliable for left or right upshots. It holds angle through out flight and it's easy to throw with touch. The Mako also has great glide and distance.
Wahoo
R-pro plastic feels great. This is not your typical water disc. This disc flies with the best of discs. The Wahoo flies straight and slightly stable on drives for less powerful throwers like me. I’ll pull it out anytime around a water shot. If your course has water then you need a Wahoo in your bag.
