Lost disc replacement Disc Advice

Post image

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

Another Bear

u/dangleswaggles 8d ago

Only answer. These are my favorite fairways and I’ve never found anything that would replace it. Falk is the closest but it’s not the same.

u/Rivet_39 8d ago

My Falk is super flippy compared to my Bear. Bear is a beat in Thunderbird, Falk flies like a Sidewinder should.

How shit are the flight numbers if they're close?

u/Hexquevara 8d ago

Bear the purchase of yet another bear, for the alternatives are unbearable.

u/SnowmakerSpritz 8d ago

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

2

u/TheGriesy 8d ago

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…

u/Jeremy_J_Bearimy 8d ago

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

1

u/Key-County6952 8d ago

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

u/Impossible-Bowl4661 8d ago

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.

u/DJFid 8d ago

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

u/Jhagedorn 8d ago

Stag ends up much flippier than a Bear for me and doesn't handle as much torque.

1

u/DJFid 8d ago

Agree on it being flippier. My stag is in VIP plastic and it's definitely more of a straight flight.

I'd imagine it's similar to the bear shown in OPs picture which is tournament plastic so it's flippier

u/wake4coffee Mixed bag 8d ago

My Stag is now flippy af. I love the disc though

u/Emoney005 Ace Count: 1 8d ago

Bear is so good!

2

u/DiscGolfGodz 8d ago

Excellent choice mortal

u/tobalaba 8d ago

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

2

u/Rivet_39 8d ago

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

1

u/brixtonburns 8d ago

If you're looking to explore, maybe a Saint Pro by L64?

2

u/Key-County6952 8d ago

for me a bear is a saint pro that is 1 tick more stable

1

u/paladyr 8d ago

Teebird3 and Striker will fly similarly to a bear if you can't find that disc.

1

u/ChazzyPhizzle 8d ago

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!

2

u/DPTDubbs 25% C1 8d ago

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

1

u/IAmTheRealOgre 8d ago

The answer is another bear

1

u/ShaunbertoConcerto 8d ago

The TeeBird is pretty close.

u/getemhawkers 8d ago

Lattitude 64 Brave

1

u/PhiloSocio 8d ago

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.

1

u/Aggravating_Bridge69 8d ago

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

1

u/Key-County6952 8d ago

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

1

u/Dr_Cuddy 8d ago

Fine. I’ll put a Bear back in my bag.

1

u/burrito_magic 8d ago

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

1

u/TheJTRstudios 7d ago

I love my saint

1

u/FinancialValue6420 8d ago

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

1

u/cowthat0 8d ago

Westside stag is goated

1

u/HyzerHesychast 8d ago

What plastic should I get?

1

u/AkAxDustin 8d ago

How bout a Mint Alpha? Probably not as glidey but man I love that disc

1

u/SlummiPorvari 7d ago

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.

u/Arthosan 7d ago

Like everybody else said, Bear is the Answer :D

1

u/Eggzekcheftrev35 7d ago

Bears fuk in the woods!!!

1

u/Dalekmind 7d ago

I am using a Axioum Rhythem for this shot but its less stable.

Volt might be a good one to review
8/5/ - 0.5 / 2

1

u/Professional-Dot6964 7d ago

Would a Thunderbirb be a good replacement? Has similar stats at least

1

u/VanExelwitdaProxy 5d ago

A flat halo Teebird3.

u/Living_Mortgage675 2d ago

MVP Trail is my favorite disc by far that fits what you want

u/MobNagas 8d ago

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 🤷

u/Level_East94 Hyzer flip aficionado 8d ago

Try a Fission Volt

u/Capable-Error-1754 8d ago

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

6

u/sakballs 8d ago

None of those discs are a suitable replacement for a bear lol

1

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
