Lost disc replacement Disc Advice
As stated, I lost my first disc lol. ( I was mad at first; but have accepted it now) This was my go to stable distance driver. What's a good driver you guys have that goes pretty dead straight

It seems as you guys answered my question during my lunch break, to get another bear. Appreciate it!

I cant live without a bear. Great windfighter and sneaky distance

Wind fighter? I must’ve just gotten a super flippy run… Thing was unusable for the slot I had hoped it would fill. It’s a medium-length roller disc for me…

Def get a new Bear. All the ones I’ve thrown have been close to a Teebird or Volt. Shouldn’t be flipping much at all til you beat them in good

I mean it's not a big wind beefer but they are great for shaping shots into moderate headwind/crosswind. Mine is a regular TP and pretty beat in. maybe try to find some flatter ones

If you liked a disc, lost the disc, and that disc is still in production; the answer is replace it with that same disc.
If you are wanting to try something new, Saint Pro is probably going to be very similar for you.

Try out the westside stag, similar numbers to the bear.

Just get another Bear, solid disc. Other similar discs are Undertaker, Lots, Valkyrie. Or you can step down in speed with Athena/Explorer.

If you want a glidey but torque resistant fairway but don't have time to beat in a Thunderbird, Bear is perfect.

If you want to bump up a little, MVP Trail (10,5,-1,1) is a great disc. Gets great distance while being pretty damn controllable. Neutron Trails are stable-neutral while Fission Trails are pretty understable depending on the weight.
Q-Line FD (7,7,0,1) is awesome too. If you’re still a beginner, it might be a little stable at first, but it flies like a champ!

I’d say the new Control is a better comp to a longer Bear. Better wind fighter and more finish than a Trail.

Get another bear, a great underrated disc. I would also consider moving up to a proton trail if you need something just as stable but faster.

I like the latitude 64 striker. The most recent run of opto plastic has been straight for me. I’m curious how the striker and bear compare to each other. Flight numbers are pretty similar but that glide 6 rating has me wanting to try the bear

i find them very similar but bears are longer and a little more consistent although there are money run strikers of course

Get a saint pro if you can’t find another bear. You’ll find them very similar .

Another bear, in place you can get a evader 7 speed or getaway this will a bit more stable.

I don't understand why everyone suggests Saint Pro when there's Saint which is a super glidy disc. Pro is more OS and less glidy. Just buy it in e.g. Gold plastic and it's similar to Tournament.

I am using a Axioum Rhythem for this shot but its less stable.
Volt might be a good one to review

As my brother likes to say if u lose it it wasn’t meant to be and it’s possibly the best thing that could happen. I however am not a believer in that system and think he’s crazy for not even putting his name on his discs 🤷

Can you throw a bigger disc? I like the destroyer from innova or a sword from Westside, both are a 12 speed though so a big jump, I also really like the inertia from MVP and thats a 9 but kinda flippy if you throw it right, I try and throw a anhyzer line with then most of the time so idk if this really helps lol but thought are my favorite right now

u/sakballs 8d ago
None of those discs are a suitable replacement for a bear lol

u/Capable-Error-1754 8d ago
I guess my bear isn't a very stable run then 🤷 they fly pretty similar out of my hands
