      @andreasericsson6989 2 года назад

      I think it's because he can't handle that stable of a disc. Most of his throws seem to be around 120m (or 400ft). The rive doesn't make much sense until you get an extra 20-30 m (or 60-100ft).

    The Emperor bombs. I have been a trilogy guy for a few years. But never settled on a driver. Kept bouncing around. For what ever reason I decided to try a Kona Panis Emperor last year and immediately fell in love. It just goes further. It might be a tad too stable for me at max weight. But I have 4 of them in weight ranging from 162 up to 175. Covers all my distance driving needs! I

    I know everyone has their favorite driver and you can't try them all, but my go-to driver is the Streamline trace - straight with a bit of turn, then some fade for me, out to about my (non-wind-or-downhill-aided) max of 400 or slightly over.
