I first bought this disc as a beginner -- hated it. After a few years on the shelf, I tried it again and absolutely love it now! This disc is ideal for stable forehand shots. It is flat, stable, and has moderate glide. This means you can really crank this thing on nice flex forehand lines. When you do that, the thing flies far but always comes back reliably. It is difficult to crash this thing even in headwind. Absolutely recommended for forehand shots -- haven't tried for backhand because I currently have none.
