Just coming back into throwing after at least a 5 year hiatus, and I gotta say I’m BLOWN AWAY at how good even $40-$50 monometals are nowadays. You used to have to pay $100 for that level of quality, smoothness, etc, but it seems manufacturers have lowered costs while increasing quality, which I think is GREAT for us players. That said, there’s quite a few throws I need to try, coming back into this, and I have some on the way and will update my top 5 accordingly. But I’ve already gotten a Shutter and Horizon since they seem to have been two of the bigger throws during my absence, and a good baseline I can use to judge higher end throws. Here’s how the ranking stands for me at this moment in time:
Just like the Kardashians, I don’t have favorites. However, some throws I’ve been really enjoying:
OD Fat tire
Markmont Magnus Opus
Dan Oliver tiger shark
YYF Supernova
Og YYF Northstar
also, the Tigershark has really gotten me back into responsive, I wanna try wooden fixed axles, if I could get some recommendations from yall that would be huge.
I second this. I’d love to try fixies, but I can’t bring myself to spend $50 on a nice one when I don’t even know if I’ll like it. So if anybody has inexpensive recommendations I’m all ears. Do fixies ever go on the BST? Wouldn’t mind a second-hand one.
I understand that. When I tried my first modern wooden fixed axle, I took the plunge to buy one and the moment I threw it some kind of switch flipped in my head, I knew it was something I was going to throw until I croaked.
The Legend Wing is a great model for getting started.
