I am relatively new to the sport, so I'm no expert on discs, but so far the Beast is the best disc I've thrown for distance shots.I purchased this disc in a heavy 175g. Typically, they recommend newer players use lighter discs until they learn better form and are able to throw the disc at its necessary "speed" in order for it to behave as it should. I am not very big or muscular, so I can't really throw this disc with the force necessary for it to really be effective. That's my own fault, not the disc. However, the purchase of this disc was very fortuitous for me as I often play in windy conditions, on many holes I am throwing in a steady side wind, which blows all my other discs off course. Having this disc in a heavier weight helps it cut through the wind very nicely, as well as mowing through some low lying branches and leaves. Normally I throw right hand, back hand (RHBH) but on those longer drives with wind I will reach for the Beast and side arm it. This technique has gotten me much better results than other discs.For the record, my other drivers are an Innova Archangel (150g), which is super consistent for me in windless, straight drives, and an Innova Valkrie (150g).
