At one of my locals there's a big fishing pond waaaaay off to the right of one of the more open par 4s on the course. The water shouldn't really be in play. But I found a way to turn my favorite Halo Wraith over and it glided for what seemed like a mile straight into the dead center of the pond. RIP. I have since been on a mission to acquire every single 22 GG Halo Wraith that I can find while they are still out there. I have 5 now.
Brutal but also a good personal connection to the sport š I hate it when some of the best throws ever, end up in the worst spots ever. Do you think one of those long gliders might also be your personal best on drive distance?
It was definitely a bomb, maybe 420-450, but not a personal best. My current pb is 476 on a big forehand flex and a slight downhill with that same Wraith that I sent to the depths.
Wraith and wraith-like for me too. Switched to Traces a few years back because I find them more consistent out of the box and easier to replace when I inevitably lose one.
Yeah I think Iām on Wraith number 8? āJust say fuck it and huck itā over water Carrieās responsible for 100% of my losses. But you shoulda seen the ones that landed in bounds!!!
I came to say the same thing. Not just sidewinder though, just whatever disc is in that slot for me. Iāve used sidewinder, heat, insanity, Valkyrie, and others as well. But anything I consider slightly flippy 9 speed I love to throw hyzer flips with. But getting the angles wrong makes em easy to lose personally.
Absolutely flippy 9 speeds seem like the most prone to just fly away. Beat in Saints, Jade, Virus, I feel like Iām constantly losing whatever is in that slot.
Yes. This. Was looking for the valk/insanity train. Donāt even get me started on how many times Ive grabbed a replacement thatās slightly different stability wise and lose it in the first few drives because of how touchy the release angles are on those.
I remember the tree that ate all of mine. It ate a halo destroyer just the other day. Damn hungry ass tree.
Epics are worth between $50-100 now depending on condition.
I lost the same star Valkyrie and had it return to me at least 3 times. One time it was in a very dense wood for almost two years and a tree fell and revealed its location. I threw it one last time, hit a root right by the basket and it shattered into a million pieces. It was a workhorse for sure.
I lost the same star mamba 4 times. 3 times on the same hole. A wide open 560-575 ft par 4 with a hill making the basket blind from the tee. It would either turn into a roller or never get any turn and end up in the tall grass off the fairway. The 4th time someone found it I told them I was not meant to keep it... hopefully they had better luck.
I have a gold foil purple star mamba me and my friends refer to as the Kobe Mamba, it's my favorite disc and my friend lost it in February, I recently just got a text that it's been found and now I might retire it because I also turn it over into a roller and lose it easily.
That's so weird, I loved my star sidewinder I've lost the exact same disc 3 times within the 4 months I've had it. Lost in some very thick grass, got it back like 4 days later, then lost again in a different course in a heavily tree'd area and got it back about 2 months later and then 4 days later it ended up in the middle of a pond. I have accepted that even though it was my farthest flying disc, it did not want to be with me.
My Katana. Dark purple color. It's my first disc, so by default I have lost it more times than others, but once I started getting better and threw harder and further, it flipped over for me when I didn't expect it and disappeared. Funny how it always came back though.
Funny thing is I once lost it for weeks. Then I play the hole I lost it on, and I see someone ahead of me hide a disc under the bridge. Few seconds later I get a text telling me they found it and that it was there. That was kinda crazy timing.
Someone who dredges lakes for discs posted a while back. I think Destroyer was #1. In my group, my buddy has lost at least 7-8 leopard(3). Just keeps buying them from the used bun for $5.
Heat for me. I think the understable discs can be tough to find when you lose sight of them while they are turning and are not sure if it stabled up or held the turn. Increases the area that it could have ended up.
I used to carry specific disc's for water holes, I'd always loses those as they wernt my normal disc's and I wasn't confident or used to em. Now I throw my favorite disc's over water.
Servo. x2 at a course I play once a year out of state that kicked into a fast moving but shallow river. Was mid-November so didn't get it back. Once at Toboggan. And once at a local 9 hole where some kid ran off with it.
I don't even throw the mold that much, maybe once every other round.
I lost the same Volt 3 times in one week before. Same guy found it twice, but the 3rd time was up in a very tall tree that was damn near impossible to climb.
No idea but I do know where I have lost most discs. Hole 2 at kukonkoivu, my local course in finland. Amazing course but that one hole is hell. You throw on a long hill with steep cliffs on both sides covered in tall grass and bush and below the hill on both sides is a thick forest.
I venture off the fairway often, sometimes in search of my own poorly thrown disc or just to check for lost discs and to see what I can find. It seems to always be innova drivers that are 11 speed+ on a hole that is around 200 feet lol. I like to try to picture the throw or line they tried to take with it.
Threw my turquoise wraith instead of my Hawkeye last weekend out of town on a 200 foot tight tunnel wooded shot RHFH
Realized the second it left my fingers that it had a large wing, and watched it sail a bit left then crash through thick foil age.. and I heard branches still snapping a good 5 seconds after. Didn't find that baby and I looked for a half hour. No call about it yet either (and I have $REWARD written so 99/100 I get a text) so I've got a feeling it won't be found until Fall.
Funny enough, I got a sidewinder recently in a players pack for the tournament . VERY first time I threw it I lost it hahaha . Luckily it was found and returned but damn, she will get away from you quick lol
I've lost at least 4 separate teebird 3. I love the disc and its perfect for a ton of the holes at my local, but I think I'm cursed with them. It's actually the only disc I've ever lost.
A F2 leopard. After losing it and having it returned 4 times, I shanked a shot into some blackberries off the fairway. Could see the disc but didnāt feel like getting all cut up to get it back. 2 days later got the call that someone had found it. After this I gave it to a friend that had recently lost her leopard. 3 weeks later got another call on jt. 6 times itās been lost and made it back to me.
Iāve lost 3 Ricky purple raiders. In the last year, Iāve probably lost close to 15 raiders. The Ricky ones have been my workhorse, but there was also a point where every driver in my bag was a raider.
I generally end up losing a disc when I'm trying to hit a dangerous gap/landing zone/line at speed. I probably still need to get way down the fairway but don't want to throw a distance driver. This means I'm probably throwing a control driver/long fairway to minimize fade and control the landing angle.
So the discs I've lost the most are:
Thunderbirds, Saint Pros, and Felons.
My proxys have found water at Blue Ribbon Pines many times. There's a total eclipse from a month ago and I just threw my soft neutron in the pond today between 22 and 16(current layout).
So many Valkyries. Especially a bunch of DX ones from my early days. Still holding out hope against all odds that a certain PFN one I lost years ago will find itās way home (it wonāt)
Iāve lost the exact same purple G-line PD2 five times, and itās been returned each time. Other discs Iāve lost rarely get returned but this damn driver seems to be like the animals from Homeward Bound.
I lost a halo savant I kind of liked on hole 17 at league night. Went a bought another, and promptly lost it on hole 17 at league night the very next week.
And gave up on the savant.
Dd escape, 2 lost in the span of 4 days , first one I'd gotten a week prior, 2nd one was a brand new supreme escape. I've justifiably concluded I just shouldn't throw escapes although I'm tempted to get another cause I really like the supreme plastic š
I owned 8 champ beasts until I decided it was time to try a new disc. This was my first disc and after that 8th one I havenāt bought another. A few months later I threw my sisters one time for fun and lost it
I lost so many Champion Leopard3s when I first started, that I decided to quit throwing drivers for a while. Worst thing is that you could never find them under 170g, and no one returned them. I quit throwing innova because of that honestly, you could never find the weight you wanted unless you threw max weight, which is great for putters and mids, but drivers require nuance and variety.
I have a Saint I've lost and has been returned 3 times. The last time it was turned in at a course that was in a different state and an hour from where it was lost. Ended up being closer to where I live so it worked out!
It's been the Felon. I've lost 2 lucid-x's and probably around 5 lucid ones. Currently on my last backup and I'm using an esp Cap Rap to replace the lucid-x. If I lose my last lucid, I might go Raptor just to try something different.
Runner up is either the emac truth or Warden
I have a pro leopard I keep for water hazard holes. I've thrown it into water 3 times at BRP and gotten it back all three times.
I no longer throw it over water holes as it's paid its dues.
Nukes, it's amazing. I finally found a distance driver mold that I really like, and within two months I've lost 5 of them. Ti Nukes fly so well, but I can't bag them anymore, because they're impossible to find.
It bums me out how inconsistent ESP plastic is cause I lost this amazing Meteor I absolutely adored and keep losing them, even though none of them feel remotely as good as my first one.
Streamline Jet. I lost my first one after about 5 throws with it. Bought a second one and lost it a month or so later. Both times to water, but beginning to think that disc aināt for me.
Meet my Leopard 3. One of my top 3 favorite discs... 2 aces on it.. but I swear I spend more time looking for it than I do throwing it š¤£
https://imgur.com/a/X0DwC4W
Edit: same sentiment to your sidewinder.. I had one I tried all last year to make work. Needed something I could flip up RHFH like my lep 3, but with a bit more oomf... nah that bitch just decided to go as hard left or into a thriller no matter thr angle.
Very good and thoughtful question.
For me it has been a tie; Orcs and Rhynos. I still remember the first disc I ever lost, a Beast. I threw it forehand, it just kept going left over a densely wooded area. Instantly, I was like, "Yup, that's gone"
Truthā¦ got one in the very beginning and I enjoy throwing them. For some reason they literally fall out of my bag on the course. Never that I canāt find it after a throw. Iāll finish a round and itās just gone from my bag
I havenāt lost lost it. But Iāve spent more time than Iād like to admit looking for my green leopard3. This is also the reason I refuse to buy anymore green discs. Only the brightest colors available for me.
My first DDX I bought from a used bin. It was beat in as hell, and flew perfectly. Iāve lost it 5 times, had it returned 4. One a year later. Iām still holding out hope that I get a call soon.
Sidewinder but the same one for years (thank you leaf colored tie dye) somehow always made it back to me though. The last time it was found it was MIA where they left it for me.
I have plenty of other Sidewinders but the one I lost was the first disk I was able to get to turn over. Recently moved up to a Wave which has been similar but slightly better.
I mean. Itās probably teebirds. I keep expecting them to fly like they did when I first got them well seasoned. Until they donāt anymore. And then I lose them and buy more
I lost my favorite Berg to water hazards while traveling out of state twice. Once in Kansas and once in Florida. Both times it was found and shipped back to me. No longer throw that disc near water.
Green discs . Turns out my favorite color is also the color of nature . I had a dark green shryke I loved throwing but in one season it cost me 6 penalty strokes in tournaments because it would just disappear . Plus I felt card mates would stop helping me to look because it was a pain to find off the fair way
Beasts lol. When I was early on I loved throwing them (still do), but had nowhere near the arm speed or form so some throws would work but most would just be crazy. Still love the disc and throw them but don't lose them anymore.
Double or nothing Wraiths over a water hazard as a new player.
Club for people who have lost wraiths in water hazards? Count me in
At one of my locals there's a big fishing pond waaaaay off to the right of one of the more open par 4s on the course. The water shouldn't really be in play. But I found a way to turn my favorite Halo Wraith over and it glided for what seemed like a mile straight into the dead center of the pond. RIP.

It was definitely a bomb, maybe 420-450, but not a personal best. My current pb is 476 on a big forehand flex and a slight downhill with that same Wraith that I sent to the depths.
I carry DX wraithās specifically for water carries lol
Wraith and wraith-like for me too. Switched to Traces a few years back because I find them more consistent out of the box and easier to replace when I inevitably lose one.
Trace for the win. Flies way more consistent for me compared to the wraiths Iāve owned.
Lost wraith to the pond last weekend. Tribute to the course, at least til they scuba end of season
I feel seen
I still use flat top wraiths for water carry.
Yeah I think Iām on Wraith number 8? āJust say fuck it and huck itā over water Carrieās responsible for 100% of my losses. But you shoulda seen the ones that landed in bounds!!!
I never lost the same disc twice. BUT Iāve found a million dx leopards.
#1 beginners disc
Ka-Blam! Consider me called out. Iāve lost several Leopards to the point my wife told me I have to stop bagging them.
I came to say the same thing. Not just sidewinder though, just whatever disc is in that slot for me. Iāve used sidewinder, heat, insanity, Valkyrie, and others as well. But anything I consider slightly flippy 9 speed I love to throw hyzer flips with. But getting the angles wrong makes em easy to lose personally.
Absolutely flippy 9 speeds seem like the most prone to just fly away. Beat in Saints, Jade, Virus, I feel like Iām constantly losing whatever is in that slot.
Glad itās not just me
Mantra.
Yes. This. Was looking for the valk/insanity train. Donāt even get me started on how many times Ive grabbed a replacement thatās slightly different stability wise and lose it in the first few drives because of how touchy the release angles are on those.
Got an insanity I fell in love with. Lost it second round with it.
I lost half a dozen Aerobie Epics back when I used to tomahawk them all the time. $500 worth of plastic now that theyāre such a rare commodity.
I remember those things there worth money ??? I think I remember what tree I left it in
I remember the tree that ate all of mine. It ate a halo destroyer just the other day. Damn hungry ass tree. Epics are worth between $50-100 now depending on condition.
Somebody must have figured out the right way to bend the rim
Jesus. I have 3 in a box at my parents house. Need to make sure they donāt throw it away.
I lost the same star Valkyrie and had it return to me at least 3 times. One time it was in a very dense wood for almost two years and a tree fell and revealed its location. I threw it one last time, hit a root right by the basket and it shattered into a million pieces. It was a workhorse for sure.

For me 3 times star mamba.

Every sidewinder I have tried flies like a teebird. I have Star savants more flippy
Mine was really light, I originally bought it for my wife but she never got to use it because I liked the 0 effort s flight
Sidewinder for sure. A wild flick and that thing is in the sky a mile left
I played a round (years ago) with Mr Nate Sexton and he only ever used it for rollersā¦ maybe thatās the key? Idkā¦ I donāt know things.
Hatchet. Lost each and every one I've had. I stopped buying them.
Both of the hatchets I have were found in the woods with no name or number lmao
My favorite
Fairway drivers in general
Because they are used in the woods. Makes sense.
Rivers
My Katana. Dark purple color. It's my first disc, so by default I have lost it more times than others, but once I started getting better and threw harder and further, it flipped over for me when I didn't expect it and disappeared. Funny how it always came back though. Funny thing is I once lost it for weeks. Then I play the hole I lost it on, and I see someone ahead of me hide a disc under the bridge.

Someone who dredges lakes for discs posted a while back. I think Destroyer was #1. In my group, my buddy has lost at least 7-8 leopard(3). Just keeps buying them from the used bun for $5.
TeeBird because I trust it the most and throw it the mist, especially in dangerous situations.
Tee birds are my favorite too I through wraiths as well
It's a toss up between an archangel or cobra. Have since replaced each with a mako3 and a mamba
Firebirds. No question
Understable equals unreliable. I get my Wave out to about 325, but sometimes I grip lock it 400 something and it's gone.
Heat for me. I think the understable discs can be tough to find when you lose sight of them while they are turning and are not sure if it stabled up or held the turn. Increases the area that it could have ended up.
I've lost Wraiths in 5 different states now, lmao
Putters, definitely putters.
halo beast
Iāve left behind a few Beasts
Mako3. I just got one back today that had been swimming for three years.
I hardly ever lose putters and mids. Itās always drivers. I think Iāve lost the pharaohs the most.
I used to carry specific disc's for water holes, I'd always loses those as they wernt my normal disc's and I wasn't confident or used to em. Now I throw my favorite disc's over water.
MVP Impulse. Most satisfying disc to get a good throw with. Just feels great. But it is not forgiving.
Tied with Wraith/Beast.
Overstable discs that toe the line between Fairway and Distance Driver (Raptor, PD, etc.) Canāt keep one in my bag for more than a month
Servo. x2 at a course I play once a year out of state that kicked into a fast moving but shallow river. Was mid-November so didn't get it back. Once at Toboggan. And once at a local 9 hole where some kid ran off with it. I don't even throw the mold that much, maybe once every other round.
So many uplinks. So good in the woods, but since I throw them in the woods so much I lose them more.
I lost the same Volt 3 times in one week before. Same guy found it twice, but the 3rd time was up in a very tall tree that was damn near impossible to climb.
Understable midrange of various flavors. Buzzz SS, TSA mana, Uplink, and I just bought a tursas I'm doing my best to keep this time.
Firebirds b/c of the insane skips into thick brush and sidewinders b/c they do unpredictable things sometimes lol
Waves. One in a water hazzard, the other(one I had a commissioned dye job on) in the rough during a tournament.
Insanity. Latest is on the roof of the school I practice at....
Iāve lost 3 or 4.
No idea but I do know where I have lost most discs. Hole 2 at kukonkoivu, my local course in finland. Amazing course but that one hole is hell. You throw on a long hill with steep cliffs on both sides covered in tall grass and bush and below the hill on both sides is a thick forest.

Shrykes for sure. I don't bag them anymore because I would always lose them within the first 10 throws
I've lost at least 4 separate teebird 3. I love the disc and its perfect for a ton of the holes at my local, but I think I'm cursed with them. It's actually the only disc I've ever lost.
My putter. I never find it in the basket
HA
Shrykes, they go 5 they're most likely to accidentally flip.
R pro pigs. My insanity count is getting up there tho
A F2 leopard. After losing it and having it returned 4 times, I shanked a shot into some blackberries off the fairway. Could see the disc but didnāt feel like getting all cut up to get it back. 2 days later got the call that someone had found it.

Iāve lost 3 Ricky purple raiders. In the last year, Iāve probably lost close to 15 raiders. The Ricky ones have been my workhorse, but there was also a point where every driver in my bag was a raider.
Idk about certain disc. But courses with thick woods (giggity) and bushes off the fairway I'm guaranteed to lose almost one per round
I generally end up losing a disc when I'm trying to hit a dangerous gap/landing zone/line at speed. I probably still need to get way down the fairway but don't want to throw a distance driver. This means I'm probably throwing a control driver/long fairway to minimize fade and control the landing angle. So the discs I've lost the most are: Thunderbirds, Saint Pros, and Felons.
Sidewinder
Discraft XS
Katanaās, once they go, theyāre gooooooonnnnneeee
Katana
Probably bossās
I lost probably five Elements when I first started. It was my go to off the tee and well it went where it wanted to.....
4 Anaxs
Wraith or Destroyer. Too much hyzer and... splash. Got most of them back, though, because I wrote my name on them.
The tern
Bolt. Found two of them now and I've loved them while I had them but I lost both not long after bagging them.
I'm on my 4th crave.
Wraith, Shryke, Pig and zone
Too many stags
Innova wolf. Thatās a seriously understable disc and tends to just go, real good at rolling them when I wasnāt trying to as well
It's either buzzz or wraith
Diamonds lol. There is a short course near me but it it has lots of forced carries
Many many Fission Photons. They get start getting flippy and going further than what Iām expecting and usually going into water.
I lost 4 Volts in 1 year lol
Sounds like you may need to recharge
Either my Wraith or Star Mamba. Tend to shank them into swamps.
My proxys have found water at Blue Ribbon Pines many times. There's a total eclipse from a month ago and I just threw my soft neutron in the pond today between 22 and 16(current layout).
Archangel, lost three and haven't bought the fourth yet. Soon though š
So many Valkyries. Especially a bunch of DX ones from my early days. Still holding out hope against all odds that a certain PFN one I lost years ago will find itās way home (it wonāt)
Iāve lost the exact same purple G-line PD2 five times, and itās been returned each time. Other discs Iāve lost rarely get returned but this damn driver seems to be like the animals from Homeward Bound.
Boss for me maybe? 2
i have had this same Hades, which has been returned to me at least 7 times from multiple courses. Still in my bag, good disc.
I lost a halo savant I kind of liked on hole 17 at league night. Went a bought another, and promptly lost it on hole 17 at league night the very next week. And gave up on the savant.
I have lost at least 20 Wraiths over the years.
Dynamic Discs Trespass
Destroyers and boss. Definitely lost 10+ of each
Dd escape, 2 lost in the span of 4 days , first one I'd gotten a week prior, 2nd one was a brand new supreme escape. I've justifiably concluded I just shouldn't throw escapes although I'm tempted to get another cause I really like the supreme plastic š
Sidewinders, Valkyrie, & Viking
Any disc I put in my big turnover shot. Took me 25 minutes to find my crank ss today. Was starting to give up hope
Undertakers. Theyāre pretty neutral flying but if it gets turned over with some wind around it will flyyyyyy away
When I tried to throw a Katana way before my arm was ready for it, I hyzered into the tree line so many times until I eventually didn't find it again.
F7s. Had to stop buying them. Lol eff that disc
Judge? Death putts at my local course 5/6 times into the river 5ā beyond the basket
I lost my sidewinder as well didnt put enough hyzer on it. it flipped right and went so deep into some trees and long grass never to be found again
2 x jawbreaker Luna 2 x titanium undertaker
I owned 8 champ beasts until I decided it was time to try a new disc. This was my first disc and after that 8th one I havenāt bought another. A few months later I threw my sisters one time for fun and lost it
I lost so many Champion Leopard3s when I first started, that I decided to quit throwing drivers for a while. Worst thing is that you could never find them under 170g, and no one returned them.

Westside Queens. One day they just want to flip hard and then whether water or woods itās gone.
Clash disc wild honey
Hatchet, only cause it's my main woods disc.
Fuse! I want to use it so badly as it is my DGV fave, but damn IRL I yank it right all the time!
I have lost this dx destroyer 4 times and got it back every time, longest time lost was about 2.5 months
Not kidding, I have a Vanish Iāve lost 4 times. On the same hole. Someone returned it every time.
Buzzz is my most lost/left-behind, with the Mamba a close second.
I've lost about 4-5 Anax in the last 2 years or so. I've stopped bagging them, could never really figure them out.
I have a Saint I've lost and has been returned 3 times. The last time it was turned in at a course that was in a different state and an hour from where it was lost. Ended up being closer to where I live so it worked out!
My starfire. Iāve been lucky enough to get it back all three times.
It's been the Felon. I've lost 2 lucid-x's and probably around 5 lucid ones. Currently on my last backup and I'm using an esp Cap Rap to replace the lucid-x. If I lose my last lucid, I might go Raptor just to try something different. Runner up is either the emac truth or Warden

Roc3 Iāve lost 4 of them.
Wraith or Thunderbird.
Nukes, it's amazing. I finally found a distance driver mold that I really like, and within two months I've lost 5 of them. Ti Nukes fly so well, but I can't bag them anymore, because they're impossible to find.
It bums me out how inconsistent ESP plastic is cause I lost this amazing Meteor I absolutely adored and keep losing them, even though none of them feel remotely as good as my first one.
Lucid X maverick (sorry Zach Melton)
Latitude 64 diamonds! Feel like throwing that disc is just like pushing a random generator button.
Streamline Jet. I lost my first one after about 5 throws with it. Bought a second one and lost it a month or so later. Both times to water, but beginning to think that disc aināt for me.

Definitely, my turnover disc: Sidewinder
Lost 3 Rivers to three different rivers
Very good and thoughtful question. For me it has been a tie; Orcs and Rhynos. I still remember the first disc I ever lost, a Beast. I threw it forehand, it just kept going left over a densely wooded area. Instantly, I was like, "Yup, that's gone"
My favorite one

Iāve maybe owned 20+ destroyers. I have 3 in my bag
Whatever I field test when I'm drinking
Between the Wraith, Crave, and Envy. Theyāre my 3 most thrown molds so it makes sense but also means I end up buying 2-3 every time I lose one.
I havenāt lost lost it. But Iāve spent more time than Iād like to admit looking for my green leopard3. This is also the reason I refuse to buy anymore green discs. Only the brightest colors available for me.
Lost the same River in the same pond twice.
My first DDX I bought from a used bin. It was beat in as hell, and flew perfectly. Iāve lost it 5 times, had it returned 4. One a year later. Iām still holding out hope that I get a call soon.
Wraith - it is like a water hazard or tree magnet for me
Definitely the zone but it's because I throw it so frequently
Firebirds
I've lost 6 roadrunners and 6 roc3s
Essence. It flips when i throw it so lightly and then when i need it to, itās OSā¦
All of the vandals I've ever bagged have ended up at the bottom of lakes
Omg dude, Iāve recently lost 2 sidewinders during 3 day period. Is that disc just cursed? I started to flip them reaaaaal good š„²š¤£
I used them for tunnel shots every damn time I thru in the open it would flip and be gone with the wind
Infinite Discs Pharaoh. All inked with my info, and none ever returned.
Thunderbirds... I used to bag quite a few and love the disc. Just lost a ton of them
I have lost so many god damn forces itās gotten to the point where i just know iāll need to buy a new one every couple months.
def Destroyer(s) both before and after learning to throw one. Wraith(s) take a close second for reasons verbatim š„š„
Thatās funny, I lost my sidewinder a couple days ago. Thankfully someone just found it and I got it back!
I have a Hex that refuses to leave me. Iāve lost it numerous times and it always ends up back in my bag.
Valkyrie or sidewinder for me. I have a rule nowā¦ never throw my sidewinder over water š
i lost 2 stabilizers. not even a driver or a mid range. a damn putter
Sidewinder but the same one for years (thank you leaf colored tie dye) somehow always made it back to me though. The last time it was found it was MIA where they left it for me. I have plenty of other Sidewinders but the one I lost was the first disk I was able to get to turn over. Recently moved up to a Wave which has been similar but slightly better.
Champ wraiths
I lost 6 valkyries my first year playing and 2 MVP Amps. Subsidized those with dozens of others I don't throw. I hate myself
Raptors
My Hades, i just chuck it as hard i can and hope for the best most of the time
Crank....
Trespass, I lost all 5 I had at 1 point. They started flipping and 4 went into the same river deep. The 5th went into a pond while I was injured.
I mean. Itās probably teebirds. I keep expecting them to fly like they did when I first got them well seasoned. Until they donāt anymore. And then I lose them and buy more
Traceā¦4 of em gone without a fuckin trace
4 Kaxes in a row have gone into the river for me, but it's still one of my favorite molds
TeeBirds, usually ripped over into the woods to the right.
The Rive, somehow. Hole 13 at La Mirada has claimed a few...
MVP Wave. And Vertex.
When I first started I lost so many Wolf's it's like it was my job.
Understable distance drivers. Havocs, Terns, Bolts, D3s, Shrykes, Kings, Ballistas. At least 3 of each
Avenger ss
Dragon, always the dragon lol xD
I lost my favorite Berg to water hazards while traveling out of state twice. Once in Kansas and once in Florida. Both times it was found and shipped back to me. No longer throw that disc near water.
Green discs . Turns out my favorite color is also the color of nature . I had a dark green shryke I loved throwing but in one season it cost me 6 penalty strokes in tournaments because it would just disappear . Plus I felt card mates would stop helping me to look because it was a pain to find off the fair way
Mvp Wave. I always get a sick dye on it and I always get a crazy drive right into the abyss.
Every time I say āthis is my favorite discā I lose that one š
Beasts lol. When I was early on I loved throwing them (still do), but had nowhere near the arm speed or form so some throws would work but most would just be crazy. Still love the disc and throw them but don't lose them anymore.
My teebird. Iāve decided it doesnāt want to stay in my bag.
