For overhand shots, thumber/tomahawk, the more understable disc will roll/flip faster and spike down sooner. If you want distance, try more overstable discs that’ll hold the upside down part of the flight for longer
Scuba ? In Wellington we also have the 'Traveller' named after it's creator Traveller.... (he confessed he has Hippie parents. q8D Take the Tomahawk, throw it RHFH at 10.30- 11pm (so slightly upside down),, Something way under stable... The result it a tree avoidance shot in a tight channel.. Aim at the far tree and it turns under, goes right, rolls over and often 360 (I get about 270deg). I also have a personal favourite that no one mentions (but I just did on another ChasinChains video)... Old Skool Frisbee shot... Open stance.. Stare at the target, Hyzer off 45 deg out to the side for a smooth arc that lands perfectly in line with your view... (That's right, it was CC's Scorch video.. and my Yeet out the side Frisbee throw -disc of choice- is the Scorch for smooth Hyzer curves). 2:33 Shoulda done the exact same shot but with your 170g scorch ! 6:58 Put the Thumber disc across the top of your head so its on a 11pm bottom down, and throw it at the ground 20 ft out... saves your arm, and turns into the forehand roller just running the fade curve in the opposite direction.
Forehand Roller... get the FLATTEST top disc you can find (mines a Tesla) Don't go long... Throw it at the ground 10-20 ft in front of you. Put it on a 1pm RH (11pm LH) angle... and experiment from there (12pm for big semicircles like a scramble out of jail and back round into a nearby alcove). Tailwind is your friend. Cross wind... top to the wind... INCREASE the angle away from the wind.. Most likely it will end up turning into the wind.. I need to experiment.. I believe a FLIPPY disc for cross winds... it WILL stand up. (Bottom to the wind will turn and run down wind). Head wind... Yeah that's going to be fun...Don't forget to aim slightly right (for a RHFH) as it will usually end up 12pm then turn left... That's where the dead flat top helps. The further out you throw the disc, the less reliable the landing angle will be (especially in wind)... I have done a 200ft roller throwing it (on firm ground) only 5 ft away and with barely more than average putter force (maybe a 30 ft flat throw)... I have 2 stroked a 282ft hole (Hikoikoi Petone Wellington NZ #2) with a 280ft roller that hit the ground about 20ft out and finished about 15ft right of the hole... (If only I could do that every day). I make it a goal now to Roller every hole with my Tesla (except perhaps the 700ft up hill Berhampore WN #7... but hey... why not...
We should play disc golf dice sometime. I 3D printed a set.

Ahhhh, thanks for the tip !!
