REVIEWS

Mako

The Star Mako is a very reliable approach disc when you are just out of putting range. Great for shorter right-turn drives where you need continued glide to the right.

Boss

The Blizzard Boss is my go-to driver, best distance in my bag. I can throw confidently into the wind and not worry about flipping, and I am throwing around 150g. Throwing low with moderate turnover will keep it straight without cutting back left at the end. A little higher with just a little turn will allow it to

XD

My main driver at the Worlds in 85. Great for long straight shots. When longer drivers came along, I started using the XD for mid-range shots.

Leopard

The Star Leopard is the best overall disc ever! Incredibly accurate, and can hold a smooth hyzer, or a medium to hard turnover without S-ing back. It can also stay on a very straight line to sneak through a long, straight, and narrow fairway.
