Brent Hambrick
Columbus, OH |
My home course, has a wide variety of long and technical shots. |
Moraine St. Park
Pittsburgh, PA |
A great golf course with very few holes reachable in one shot, making accuracy off the tee very important. |
Knob Hill
Pittsburgh, PA |
A very challenging course with lots of elevation changes. |
Whipping Post/Wood Shed
Paw Paw, WV |
These courses will definitely challenge your scrambling abilities. |
Lake Shore Park
Ashtabula, OH |
When the wind kicks up, as it often does, just finding a way to stop your disc on the sloping greens becomes a must. |

This is my main driver. It's overstability takes most variables out of play so I can throw it with confidence. |
| X Predator |
I use this disc for most drives over 350 feet. It has a very predictable flight path and can handle the extra speed for the longer throws. |
ESP Surge
|
A less stable disc with a lot of glide making it perfect for longer distance. I also use it for drives that need to go straight without a lot of effort. |
X Avenger
|
I like this disc for longer throws that need to go straight without lots of power, and for controlled anhyzers. |
Z Flick
|
Very fast and very overstable. I use the Flick for most forehand shots and for backhand shots that must go left. It's my go-to disc for spike hyzers. |

A very straight flying disc on those longer throws, and a very controllable midrange disc. |
X Buzzz
|
It simply does whatever you want it to do. |

I probably use this disc more than any other on holes under 300 feet. I can make it go straight, go left, go right... and it never gets overpowered. |
Soft APX
|
This disc will hold a straight line or anhyzer better than any disc I've ever thrown. |
D Challenger
|
I use this disc on almost every straight shot under 350 ft. It is very predictable. I also use it as my putter. |
