“Pro Wraith for the win! DX if I need flippy, Star if I want super stable. Pro is a nice flexy straight flight with a bit of fade at the”

Their GStar Wraith goes dead straight with a mellow fade on a slight hyzer, without dumping like their Star.

Their board-flat Champion Rhyno has way more glide than a Berg.

“I bought the Innova Mirage in Star plastic at 172g knowing it was a 3/4/-3/0. I live at a high altitude of about 6,300ft and”
Bags a Manta for its lots of glide; it is understable enough to flip to flat from a slight hyzer or give a forward fade.
“It has a lot of glide, it is just understable enough to flip to flat from a slight hyzer or to have significant forward fade on a really long hyzer.”
The Mystere got them to 400 ft, but was too inconsistent, so they moved to MVP Waves.

“First of all I love a Rat. I throw mine on almost every hole. Upshots, scoobers/hammers, forehand and backhand. Second that’s a cool stamp.”
Throws their R-Pro Pig exclusively backhand; it beats in and gets flippier, though not very flippy.

Used a Polecat for a bit; with big hands it is really comfortable.
“I used one for a bit too. I have big hands though so it is really comfortable. But I may”

Used their Mako3 for almost every shot in a short glow round and had one of their best rounds.
“I played a glow round at my local aceplace last night and since it was a short course used my Mako3 for almost every shot”
Has thrown nearly every IT/Lynx plastic; Halo is the most stable, and they prefer 168-170 g Halo or max-weight Star.
“Halo is definitely the most stable and im pretty sure ive thrown them all. I prefer a 168-170 in Halo or max weight Star. Excited”

After KC Aviars and Judges, found the Invader and loves it.
“then found the Invader….i love them…the recent Calvin KC’s have me back on the KC”

Now bags the Fox over the Leopard, Halo Rollo and Texas Ranger.

Their used Hailey King Halo Hawkeye is by far their most-thrown disc besides their putter.

“I’ve baged a star Invictus for years. It’s held its stability for that entire time and it’s probably only of my most used discs. My”
The Jay filled the stable slot in their mids and is perfectly stable; they never clicked with the Roc.
“I just filled a stable slot in my mids that I was missing. And it's perfectly stable. I don't want anymore. If I need more I'll just throw it with”
Uses a floating Hydra on a home course with steep inclines around a big lake.
“Hydra floats too I get the advice that you should go for broke or layup instead of throwing float discs”

“I liked my Leopard for when I needed it, I just wasn't sure whether or not there was something better,”
A Blizzard Champion Katana is their favourite field disc for distance personal bests.
“Blizzard champ Katana is my favorite disc to throw when I’m at the open field messing around going for distance”
Finds the newer grippier KC Pro Aviars absolutely perfect: still firm, with noticeably more grip, like old KC Pro left in a hot car.
“They are absolutely perfect. They are still firm but have noticeably more grip. I would describe it like KC Pro plastic from about 10 years ago that you left in”
Had KC Aviar slipping too, tested the JK Pro Aviar X and now uses it as a thrower; it is beating in to be less stable.

A fan of the Halo Lion: a nice straight flight with a gentle fade that can hold straight if hit hard.
“Any other fans for the Halo Lion? Nice straight flight with a gentle fade. Can hold straight if hit hard. Any Halo Lion throwers have”
Gets that flight from their Ohn Halo Leopard3s once beaten in; all three they bought were beefy out of the box.
“I get that flight after my Ohn Halo Leopard3's get nice and beat in. The three I have bought were all beefy out of the box. I am curious if”

“Last year I found a Corvette. Added 150 ft to my drive. I can put it 500 plus. My Destroyer is 350 max. I find the Shryke to be flippier than the Corvette I'm”
The Colt was their primary throwing putter, and alongside the Stud it became one of their favourite discs.
“I used to throw the Colt as my primary throwing putter. When they released its more overstable counterpart the Stud (which I believe is out of production now, majorly unfortunate because it was also”
Now throws the Colossus they bought as a beginner on anything over 300 ft into a decent headwind.
“Now that I play a lot more I actually throw that into anything 300+ with a decent headwind and it always fights out of the turn over. Still not sure if its the right”
Bought Cobras to teach new players and was impressed by how easily it glides and flies far with low power; less understable than its numbers.
“I went to give it a test run and was very impressed with how easily it glides and flies far even with low power. Flight numbers are 4,5,-2,2 but it is less understable than”
Tried an F2 XT Dart: it rivals their mids for range but isn't torque-resistant enough as a throwing putter, is touchy, and they hate the hand feel.
“I bought a f2 Dart in XT plastic to try out. It's not torque resistant enough for me for a throwing putter. It rivals my mids in range, but it's touchy, and I also”
Can't throw a Dragon; it flips over immediately for them.
“I can’t throw a Dragon. It just flips over immediately.”

“I have one Blizzard Champion Destroyer that I can throw on a baby hyzer and get it to flip to flat and fly 350-375.”
No driver flies more consistently to its published pattern for them than the Daedalus, at 340-370 ft; the glide and weight are perfect.
“There's no driver i throw more consistently exactly to the pattern on the published pictures and 340-370 feet like the daedalus. The glide is perfect, weight is perfect etc. The problem is that swing”
Prefers short-arming a Firebird with accuracy over pumping a Zone OS.
“I still prefer to short arm a Firebird with a little accuracy than try and pump a Zone OS down”
Finds the Firefly deep and rarely throws theirs.
“Meanwhile, I rarely throw my Firefly and frequently throw a shallow envy.”
Their 167 g Premier Q-Line DD3 kicked out all their distance bombers: it goes 30 ft further than anything else while staying neutral at their 450 ft power.
“The 167g premier Q-line DD3 kicked all my distance bombers out. It goes 30 feet further than anything else I have while retaining neutral stability which means it is useable”
Finds Bosses weird: they have flippy ones and total meat hooks.
“Bosses are... weird. I have flippy ones and total meathooks. Bet there's good ones in”
Threw the Atlas for quite a while and finds it a great all-round mid: straight wooded shots, tailwind hyzers and anhyzers, and it handles sidearm better than expected.
“I threw the Atlas for quite a while, and its a great all around mid. For me I mostly used it for straight woods shots, the occasional tailwind hyzer, and annys that I wanted”
A broken-in Ape gets them 300 ft with a true fade into a headwind, something their Boss, Groove, Colossus and Katana can't do in the wind.
“But, a broken in ape can get me 300 feet with a true fade in a head wind. Boss, groove, colossus, and katana all can do 300 feet plus with the same fade, but”
Got the Arachnid as a more overstable Fox, but they fly almost identically with lots of turn; maybe a tiny bit more fade.
“I have a Fox and got the arachnid as a more overstable Fox but honestly they fly almost identical--lots of turn. The arachnid might have a tiny bit more fade but it's not enough”
Has a few old Champion Archangels; they were notoriously overstable for an Archangel.
“I have a few old Champ Archangels (not handy, save them dm’s) and they were notoriously overstable for an AA. You wanna get him something”
Finds the Aviar3 fairly overstable for a 3 speed, with a solid finish and quick drop once it slows; it handles torque well without burning over.
“Aviar3 is fairly over stable for a 3 speed, has some solid finish on it and drops quite quickly once it slows down (isn’t a glidey putter at all). I do think you can”
Finds the AviarX3 even more overstable than the Aviar3, downright dumpy, and reluctant to go down range.
“The AviarX3 is even more OS. It's down right dumpy and doesn't want to go”
Bags Zones, one in Jawbreaker beaten in for straighter shots and a premium one for stability; they grip comfortably forehand and take more torque than an AviarX3.
“I bag Zones. I like to have one in Jawbreaker to beat in for straighter shots and a premium plastic for beefy stability. They're very comfortable to grip forehand, will take more torque than”
Just started throwing an old Champion Beast: solid for S-turns and nearly as far as a Wraith, neutral for a distance driver, though a worn one can flip in a headwind.
“I have an old Champion one I just started throwing. It's a solid disc for S-turns and can go almost as far as the Wraith. The Beast can be flipped by a headwind when”
Got a Birdie in a starter set and finds it so uncomfortable in hand they can't believe anyone uses it.
“To me it's just so uncomfortable in the hand that I couldn't believe anyone could actually use it, if you”
Got an XT Bullfrog in a players pack for short flicks and putts in wind; after a second one they switched to Bullfrogs as their main putters.
“I received an XT Bullfrog in a players pack which I used for short flicks and putts in the wind. Then I received a 2nd one in a players pack. Now I've basically switched”
The Caiman is their more comfortable forehand disc thanks to its rounded edge; really stable, it can be thrown hard without turning, with a decent fade.
“For me, Caiman feels really similar in hand, due to the rounded edge. (Caiman is the more comfortable forehand disc for me) Caiman is really stable, you can throw them really hard and it”
After throwing the Charger, finds it could be a Dominator in Star plastic with turn more like -1.5 or -2.
“I just got back from throwing the Charger and have thrown Dominators...this could be just a Dominator in Star plastic, and the turn is more like a -1.5 or a -2 whereas the Champ”
Digs the Cheetah as a consistently straight flyer.
“I dig the Cheetah. My buddy is an “ambassador” for the cheetah 😂 Consistently straight”
Classic Aviars are their go-to: insanely hard plastic and the most neutral putter they have used, great for long-range putts.
“Classics are almost Mcpro type plastic. They are insanely hard and the most neutral putter I've ever used (they are my go-to). XTs are closer to a regular aviar so they have some fade”
Had been throwing Trespasses as their neutral distance driver, but after a few throws with the Sheriff they have fallen in love with it.
“Been throwing Trespasses for a while as my more neutral distance driver but after a few throws with the Sheriff I have fallen in love. For people who have thrown or bagged both, what are”
A max-weight Lucid Trespass kept up with their seasoned Star Wraiths, flying very similarly and perhaps more consistently.
“I also picked up a max-weight Lucid Trespass, and it was able to keep up with my seasoned Star Wraiths: very similar actually, and perhaps more consistent. If it would”
Their Raider turns over on every throw despite being speed 13, unlike their Destroyer; they wanted a consistent overstable driver and got an inconsistent understable one.
“I got a Raider from Dynamic Discs and every time I throw it I end up turning it over. It's a speed 13 so I doubt I'm overpowering it. The flights numbers are similar”
Uses a Bio Enforcer alongside their Raiders; it flies close to them but with much more low-speed stability, fading with a healthy skip.
“Bio enforcer is what I use for that shot. I bag Ballista Pros, Raiders, and enforcers. My bio enforcer flies very close to my raiders, just has a lot more low speed stability. I”
Bags the Suspect rather than the Harp; a Classic-plastic Suspect is their over-water disc, bought cheaply as X-outs so losing one doesn't hurt.
“They are really, really similar. I bag the Suspect, but not the Harp. The Suspect in Classic is my throwing over water disc. I bought a bunch of them as X-outs so they were cheap”
Bags the Vandal and gets lots of use from it, but since finding the Sword that has become their go-to bomber.
“I also bag the Vandal, and get lots of use out of it, but since I found the Sword it has become my go to bomber.”
For them the Verdict is a better Buzzz OS than the Buzzz OS, and they prefer its feel over the Drone, Quake or Hornet.
“For me its a better Buzzz OS than the Buzzz OS, and I prefer the feel of the Verdict over the Drone, Quake,, or Hornet. In the Innova lineup it would be comparable to”
Finds the Truth has a ton of glide, almost too much for them; it gets out toward fairway-driver distances and held up to a headwind pretty well.
“I haven't thrown a roc 3 but I think the Truth has a TON of glide--almost too much for my comfort. It seemed to get out towards fairway driver distances. And even held up”
Has putted with an Animal and still bags one as an approach disc; its low glide makes it drop out of the air, so they also putt with it downhill. Not great outside circle 1.
“I still bag an Animal as an approach disc, but I'll also putt with it downhill since its glide rating is so low and it'll drop out of the air. It's complemented by my”
After 14 holes with the Alien it has been awesome: holds up to full-power forehands, fun for flex shots and holds hyzer and anhyzer lines; the pliable plastic and UFO shape feel amazing.
“I played 14 holes yesterday and can say so far it has been awesome. Holds up good to full power FH shots. Fun for tricky flex shots. And it holds lines well for hyzer”
The Warden is their main putting and throwing putter; base plastic gets flippy when beaten in, while their tour series one drifts right at full power and flies dead straight off a slight hyzer.
“That’s my main putting and throwing putter. The base plastic ones can get pretty flippy when beat in. My main thrower is 2021 AJ Risley tour series and thrown hard at full power, it”
The Hope flies like a fresh Classic Warden for them: super straight with no turn and a healthy finish, though the Sense plastic is taking a long time to beat in.
“I used to cycle Classic Wardens and the Hope flies like a fresh one, super straight but no turn and a healthy finish but the Sense plastic is really taking its time to beat”

Their Supreme plastic Escape is a bit flippier than its flight numbers suggest.
“I have an escape in supreme plastic and its a bit flipper than the flight numbers suggest. Falk flies the”

“I didn’t know the Dynamic Disc Evidence was discontinued. Is there another disc with the”
A power RHFH player who has thrown almost every Felon run; Fuzion-X is their favourite, and Felons are their go-to for fairway and short chip drives.
“I have a Fuzion X and it's by far my favorite Felon run to date. I've thrown almost every run and plastic they've released. As a predominantly power rhfh player”

Plays near the ocean, where even a slight headwind makes their Prime Judge flip on low-power approaches.
“I'm from France, near the ocean, so there's sometimes a little bit of wind, but often like a slight headwind that succeeds to make my judge flip even on approaches”
Putts with the Judge and uses the Deputy for some approaches: point-and-throw because it's so understable, easy to fly straight.
“I putt with the Judge and use the Deputy for some approaches. It’s pretty point and throw since it’s so understable. Very easy to get a straight flight when I”
Recently bagged the Maverick and it has quietly become their favourite disc; they love how it feels and flies.
“Recently bagged the Maverick and it has quietly become my favorite disc. Does anyone know of any similar style discs that I could add to”
Has a Justice with a misprinted glide of 1 and would honestly rate its glide around 1 to 1.5.
“Although truly I'd rate it as 1 or 1.5 anyways”
Throws a Runway a lot on both sides; it plays like a very overstable Buzzz, but with extra spin it stands up and flexes, especially into a headwind.

The Marshal is their primary putter; after MVP Atoms and Gateway Voodoos, they preferred the Marshal's Prime plastic.
“My primary putter. Used to use MVP Atoms, but now the Atom is my approach disc. Switched to Voodoos, which were fantastic...but I got my hands on a Marshal and”
An 882-rated player who throws their Lucid Captain about 300–340 ft as a distance driver.

Having thrown all three, ranks them Zone, Toro, Zone OS from least to most overstable; the Toro is their favourite and they bag a Champion and a Star.
“Having thrown all 3 the least stable to most overstable is Zone->Toro->Zone OS. Toro is for sure my favorite, I bag a champ and a star and use them both”
Has a very flat first-run Zeus that is stupidly overstable and barely thrown; they went back to Destroyers.
“I have a first run that is very flat and is stupidly overstable lol. I couldn’t even keep it in the bag so it’s barely thrown. Then I stopped throwing”

“I have a major love affair with the zone both forehand and backhand but recently was playing around and man the Watt is such a good disc for a straighter”
Their beefier-plastic Envy can eat torque and sits beside their Zone, with a similar shallow hand feel.
“Envy. That thing can eat some torque if you get it in a beefier plastic. It's the disc that sits right beside my Zone in the bag for that shot.”
Bought an ESP Zone SS and absolutely loves it; it's quickly becoming one of their favourites, narrowly behind their regular Zone and MVP Trail.

Bags three Fuzion Defenders alongside Enforcers; the Defenders can get a little flippy once a bit beaten in.
“I bag 3 defenders, but I also bag 3 enforcers for my OS workhorse. The defenders I bag (all fuzion) can get a little flippy”
Uses Raptors for headwinds and sharp left turns; the puddle-top ones have a bit less glide than their domey ones.
“Well the left turn is kinda what the Raptor is for. I haven't noticed a TON less glide in them, but they would have a bit less than the domey”
Finds the Predator glidier than most Firebird clones, especially once beaten in, and more overstable than the Raptors they've thrown.
“I find the Predator has more glide than most other Firebird clones, especially once beat in. And it's definitely more OS than the Raptor's I've”
Had a Big Z Roach before switching to Jawbreaker; the Jawbreaker is much grippier and they hardly use the Big Z one now.
“I had a Big Z Roach before switching to jawbreaker roach. The jawbreaker is just so much grippier, I don't use my big z roach hardly at all. Highly recommend”
Bought a Z Scorch hoping for something faster and slightly more stable than a Z Avenger SS, but it flies more like a Force OS for a 425 ft thrower.

Their slower arm throws Fission Waves the furthest backhand of their drivers.

After one round, finds the Sled exactly a slower Zone SS, not that Berg-like, and recommends it.
“Update after one round with a Sled: it is exactly a slower Zone SS and not that Berg-like despite video”
The Thrasher is one of their favourite molds; depending on plastic and weight it gives various flights on hyzer, flat or severe hyzer.
“Also very similar in power here, and I prefer the **Thrasher**. It's definitely one of my favorite molds. Depending on plastic and weight you'll get various flights out of it”

“Venom is an extremely inconsistent mold. That fade is always there but the high speed turn varies like crazy. Some fly like tilts and some”
Their K1 Lots is fairly overstable out of the box, like a Titanium Undertaker: dumpy at 300 ft but a torque-resistant control line at 350+ ft.
“Lots(k1, sample size 1)is pretty overstable out of the box, very similar to the ti undertaker (saple size 1)i threw a couple years ago. At 300' of power it will”
Their Fission Volt flies much like an Undertaker, while their Plasma Volt is more like an Anax.

Their KC Pro Rocs beat into dead-straight, hyzer-flip beauties after years of use.
“My experience with KC pro rocs is just this. The fact that they are always around is also a plus.”

“I’ve got many Roadrunners in different plastics. Duo flies very similar to Star plastic. Halo Star and champ metal flake Roadrunners fly like a Valkyrie,”
A huge Orc fan who has bagged several for eight years; a lightweight beat-up Star is one of their best roller and turnover discs.

Bags an XT Nova: a bit deep for a putter but the soft overmold feels nice, with a very neutral flight.
“I bag a Nova XT 2/3/0/0. Like the over mold tech. It’s a bit deep for a putter but the soft mold makes the hand feel nice. Very neutral flight.”
The one Panther they threw was domey and quite stable, never flipping with 400 ft of power.
“I've thrown one Panther and it was rather domey and really quite stable. Zero thought of flipping even when throwing”
Finds the Rat a slept-on disc that under-delivered as a Zone clone, turning out less stable than billed.
“Originally billed to be Innova’s first Zone clone, the Rat had a lot of hype and it wildly under-delivered on those expectations. The Rat was not a Zone. Turns out,”
Bags two Pigs, calling it the best disc in disc golf, as their most reliable approach release.
“The Pigs (best disc in disc golf IMHO) function as my straight/slight fade out "flop" shots cuz they really tend to stick, with the more beat-in one basically allowing the”
Loved throwing their Polecat but removed it because rollaways were frequent and extreme.
“I loved throwing my Polecat. Took it out because the rollaways were frequent and extreme. That thing is just too”
Impressed by their new Racer: it glides for days with a beautiful narrow S-flight most of the time.

Will likely swap their Detour for the Fox eventually, though they still throw the Detour better for now.
“I think I'll eventually swap my Detour for my Fox, but right now I'm still throwing Detour better.”
Their Hawkeye is slightly more overstable than their River; they use it to cover distance in tight quarters.

“About 380 is when I started to see full S flights with the discs I’m using. I’ve broken 400 a few times when everything is in sync in my form”

“I've gotten longer drives with the Colt than any other other putter I've thrown (which, admittedly, is only 10 or”

“I have a Cobra that I grabbed used one day to try out. It does throw well but I had a Buzzz and decided I didn’t need it”
Owns both the Dart and Pure but prefers the Dart as a throwing putter, with better control.
“Prefer the Dart as a throwing putter. Never clicked with the Pure. Better control with the Dart.”
Lately throws their Dragon better than most of their discs for length and accuracy; for them it is a very straight disc.
“Oddly enough in the past few weeks I've started throwing my Dragon better than most of my other discs in terms of length and accuracy, and have never thrown it over water. For me”
Played a Destroyer-and-Reko round on their wooded home course and shot -12 with an ace; the Destroyer is one of only two drivers they trust.

Bags a Champion Firebird as an overstable utility disc.
“I bag a champion Firebird as an overstable utility disc. The banshee is for me,”
Likes Fireflies partly because they are fairly deep compared to other putters, which they prefer for putting.
“part of the reason I like Fireflies (and Alpacas and other P2s) is that they're fairly deep compared to other putters I've tried. I like”
At about 50 mph sidearm, their Q-Line DD3 is a 300 ft laser that totally changed their game.
“I don't throw real hard sidearm, maybe 50ish but q line dd3 is a 300 foot laser at that speed.”
Their gifted first-run Boss flew unlike any high-speed driver they had thrown, properly showing its -1 turn.
“That disc flew unlike any high speed driver I've ever thrown. It properly demonstrated the -1 turn and really held straight for a long time before gently fading left. Pretty much every Boss I've”
Their Champion Atlas is a pretty good, straight-flying floaty midrange that sits where it lands thanks to the R-Pro overmold.
“It's a pretty good disc though, straight flying floaty mid range and it sits where it lands with the R-Pro overmold.”
Throws a Blizzard Ape near 160 g for their wide-rim, very overstable slot; really fun discs to throw.
“I throw a Blizzard Ape, as close to 160g as I can get, for the wide rimmed very OS spot. Really fun discs to throw.”
Has the Arachnid and finds its 6 glide accurate: very glidey, but that makes it touchy in wind; wishes they had waited for the Halo Star for extra stability.
“I have the Gorgon, Fox and Arachnid and I do think the 6 glide number is accurate. They are all very glidey discs, but that can also make them pretty touchy and easily affected”
Has a few DX Archangels but finds the Leopard a better disc with similar flight, and says premium plastic won't fly like a DX one.
“I have a few Archangel in DX. To be honest, the Leopard is a better disc with similar flight characteristics. ​ Only thing is that anything in premium will not”

Their Pro Beast was laser straight for its first 50 or so throws, then quickly became pretty understable, so it left the bag.
“I had a pro Beast last summer that started as a ridiculously straight flying driver for me, but quickly became pretty under stable. First 50 throws of so were laser straight though. It was”
The Birdie was their first non-Aviar putter; they and their friends had so little luck with it that none of them will touch it now.
“Honestly, the birdie was the first non Aviar putter I bought and its kind of a cruel joke amongst me and my friends, I had minimal luck using it and so did they to”
After 14 years of BB Aviars, picked up a Bullfrog six months ago and it has stayed in the bag: a straight driver with little to no fade, forehand and backhand.
“Picked up a Bullfrog maybe 6 months ago and it’s been in my bag ever since. I find it to be a straight driver with little to no fade for my forehand and backhand.”
Finds the Caiman flies straight to a fade, a slightly overstable mold that can be a regular midrange and go almost twice as far as a Justice.

Loves the Classic Aviar but finds them very slick.
“I love the classic Aviar but they are so slick, what is a disc that is similar, beadless and what”
Won a BioFuzion Sheriff in a distance competition; it won't replace their PD2s, Bosses or Destroyers, but it is a great forehand disc, good for hyzer flips and awkward lies.
“But its a great disc for my forehand, good for hyzerflips and throwing from lies that you can't get full run-up.”
Got a First Run Trespass a month ago and really likes it: the 12/4/-0.5/3 numbers are spot on, it stays straight with a strong fade, and the Lucid plastic is super grippy.
“I got a Trespass First Run a month ago and really like it. The ratings 12/4/-.5/3 are spot on, it doesn't turn but stays really straight with a strong fade. Even when I threw”
Their Hybrid Raider flies very nicely; they trust it into headwinds up to 10 mph and get about 380 ft into a headwind on flat ground.
“I have a Hybrid Raider which flies very nicely. I can trust it into headwinds up to 10mph, but never more than that. I get 380 feet with it on flat ground into headwinds,”
Bags Trespasses and Enforcers; a beat-in Enforcer is very similar to a brand-new Trespass in the same plastic, though the Trespass has a little more glide.

“For me, a Vandal is slightly understable and a Musket is straight with a solid finish. Both great discs, just different.”

“I actually bag both the Verdict and the Quake simultaneously. For me personally the Verdict is more comfortable on forehand whereas the Quake (which is what I would describe as "better Buzzz OS than”
Loves the Truth and bags three; with little power it is a perfect do-it-all midrange, mostly rope-straight, turning and finishing far forward if overpowered.

Not a fan of the Animal for putting, but the Star Animal is one of their favourite short-range throwing putters.
“Not a fan of those for putting putters, but the Star Animal is one of my favorite short range throwing putters”
The Alien feels great in hand; for them it flies like a faster Invader, holding a straight line with a consistent fade at the end.
“This disc feels so dang good in my hand. The rim is bevelled, so not really an ultimate disc feel which the flight rings sort of deceive you into thinking. For me, it flew”
Their Wardens are less stable than a TSA Praxis; they don't power-throw, yet hyzer-flipped a Praxis about 300 ft on a tight line.
“Not overstable but definitely more stable than my wardens. I'm not a power thrower but I hyzer flipped one to roughly 300ft on a tight golf line once, they don't get squirrely when thrown”
The Warrant always had to be thrown on hyzer to fly flat, and they prefer a disc that flies flat off a flat release, so they switched to an MD3.
“The Warrant for me always had to be thrown hyzer to go flat, and I prefer a disc that flies flat when thrown flat out of the hand. So that's why I changed my”
Found the Westside Stag more consistent and comfortable than the Escape.
“I found the Stag more consistent and comfortable than the Escape.”

The Evidence was one of their favourite mids.
“The Evidence was one of my favorite mids, and the Fuse is absolutely what would”
The Felon is basically the only Dynamic Discs disc they bag; it took their Firebird's place because it felt a little better.

Their BioFuzion Getaway fills the same wind-fighting, anhyzer-flex slot as their S-Line PD, more stable than they expected.

“Lucid Emac truth has been my favorite mid forever to cover all my midrange shots”

Finds the Fuzion and Lucid Deputy has more turn than their Z Sparkle Fierces.
“I find the Fusion/Lucid Deputy has more turn than my Z Sparkle Fierces, but I understand the switch. I lent someone a sweet jomez glow”

“Love my Maverick and my River. Maverick is easier to pop up and go straight and holds the line for a long time if not the whole flight. Once it”
Tried a Justice and found it too overstable for them.
“I tried a Justice and it is too overstable for”
Thinks the Zone OS is wildly inconsistent: their Z FLX Zone flies to its numbers and Z Glo is a touch more stable, but their Zone OS makes a Mutant look flippy.
“I am really beginning to think the Zone OS is wildly inconsistent. To compare, my Z Flx Zone is fairly to the numbers, my Z Glo is a touch more”

“I really tried to like the 2 zeus I had, especially since they were awesome esp Swirly ones, but they were too inconsistent. Sometimes they would flip and never come”
Feels Discraft went too far on the Zone SS; the Tempo sits between it and the Zone with the flight they wanted.
“They went too far on the SS. Tempo fits in between Zone and Zone SS”
Finds the Convict much less stable than a Thunderbird but able to cover the same shots thanks to its low-speed stability: super versatile and reliable.
“Try a convict as its own disc, not trying to make it a disc it's not. It's super versatile, and able to cover a bunch of shots. It's a reliable”
Has used Prime EMac Judges for the few months they've been playing and really likes them.
“I've been using prime emac judges the whole time. I'm just curious for those who”

“Defender is my go to headwind/spike hyzer driver. Nice and overstable if thats what your looking for. As far as the Raider, I wasn't a”
Had a puddle-top Raptor that was quite understable for a Raptor, like a new Champion Valkyrie: a hint of turn but not truly flippy; a nice disc.
“I had one of those. Puddle topped with the same stamp. Was pretty understable for a raptor. Would put it in like new champ Valkyrie territory. I.e. less overstable than”
Finds the Predator handles torque less well, so the Raptor is better for sidearms, but still uses the Predator backhand.
“Predator doesn't handle torque as well, so the raptor is better for sidearms. I still use the predator for backhands”
Their Z Scorch was ridiculously stable and wind resistant, while the Tour Series ESP Scorch is like a beat-in Wraith: a flippy tailwind hyzer-flex bomber.
“I had the same experience with my Z Scorch. Ridiculously stable and wind resistant. The Tour series (ESP?) Scorch on the other hand is like a beat in wraith. Flippy”

“I have a Test Flight Scorch (ESP plastic) in the upper 160s and a 174g Plasma Wave. The Wave is my current go-to max distance driver. With the wave flight”

A 350 ft max thrower who has bagged a Force for years and compared it with their first Venom on an open hole with distance markers.

The Rhyno is slower, feels better in hand and is just fantastic.
“rhyno is slower, feels better in my hands and is just fantastic. Get one in dx and beat the hell”

Their beat-in Gator eventually became untrustworthy.
“Had a beat in Gator that finally got untrustworthy. Buzzz OS has fit this for”

Picked up the Gorgon hoping to replace a Kastaplast Falk that was either a Roadrunner or a Thunderbird; the Gorgon flies very true.

Finds the Hawkeye a touch more stable than a River with less glide.
“Hawkeye is a touch more stable, but has less glide. River glides further, but won't fight out of anny as easily or really more than a small one. I prefer”
Uses a Star Invictus as their super-beefy skippy 9/10 speed; pretty overstable and skips like crazy, though many Star runs have rim bubbles.

Their Champion Jay covers so many slots they carry few mids; it is just starting to show a touch of turn.

“I had a few sexy looking Star Colts but they just didn't work for me like my XT Colts. Yesterday at Discovering the World I bought another stack of the Proto Colts for my”
Finally threw a hand-me-down Colossus and it was money: slight hyzer releases gave the best drives of their life and a personal best on their course.

At about 425 ft the Q-Line DD3 doesn't go farther than their S-Line, but it pushes longer with an overstable flight and handles wind better.
“I throw around 425 ft. and the Q-line does not go farther for me, but it pushes longer with an overstable flight than the C-line. My S-line and Q-line go”

“The Lucid-X Verdict gave me the most consistent releases and flights. I found I was able to release it low and flat and have it push very nicely nearly every time I threw it.”
Has had both the Truth and the Claymore; the Claymore has more glide and distance while being just as accurate on lines.
“I've had both and the claymore has more glide which results in more distance. It's just as accurate as the Truth in terms of staying on w/e lines you throw but goes so much”
Bags the Animal: its low glide suits low straight approaches, and maxed out it goes a reliable distance, about 150 ft for them.

“I really liked the glide of this disc. I was able to get pretty solid distance with minimal effort. It is very point and shoot.”
Threw a test-flight Raptor and found it a tad less stable than a 2017 Sexton Firebird, so it could replace that disc for them.

“I just put a MF Gator in my bag to try it out. It took the place of a VIP Bard that I've been throwing”
Putts with a Nexus Invader and drives with a Luster or Halo one; a beaten-up DX Invader still gets plenty of use.

Their XT Colt is now their main putter, filling their wish for a shallow, stiff putter after their XD snapped.

“I have an old DX Archangel, and I can tell you that thing will flip like crazy. I have to put it on a steep hyzer just to keep a hyzer flip flat. Mine's”
The Aviar3 is true to its flight numbers, possibly a touch faster and more overstable than a P2, but they stick with P2s because the deeper rim feels more comfortable to throw.

Their XT AviarX3 has a little glide and consistent but not dumpy overstability, making it easy to land at an angle for a skip or two.

“Every couple years I get nostalgic about my DX Rocs and throw them in the bag. They're great, but I”

Their only Mako3, a 180 g Champion, is lovely, with a progressive turn that makes turnovers easy to modulate.
“I can't really say because i've only ever thrown one (180g Champ), and it's just lovely. It has a nice progressive turn so it's easy to modulate turnovers with power,”
Lives by the Gator and bags two board-flat Champions; it isn't as glidey as other mids but does its specific job very well.
“I live by the Gator and bag two: board flat jolly launcher champion and old pearly champion. It fits a very specific spot in the bag, but it does it's job so so well.”
Loves Invaders as putters and throwers; they carry as far as an Aviar but are less glidey, unlike a Berg.

Prefers a ~170 g Star Corvette thrown high on hyzer; it turns and glides away toward the horizon.
“Throw your Corvette high with hyzer angle. See it turn and glide beyond horizon. Over 150m / 500ft can be achieved this way. Getting this”
Their Star Colt has handled power well for over a year: turn/fade about -0.5/1, great for gentle turnovers at 350 ft or dead straight at 300 ft.

Finds the Champion Boss absurdly overstable with little glide, so not great for distance.
“The champion Boss is absurdly overstable and doesn't glide much, so it's not great for”

Used the Aviar3 when they needed more speed, like uphill putts or getting around trees, and it gives a lovely flight on hyzer, but replaced it with a Harp.

The AviarX3 is a great approach and upshot disc, and its shallow rim is super comfortable for forehand shots.
“AviarX3 is a great approach/upshot disc. Perhaps a little overshadowed in the Innova line up by the Pig and Rhyno (no disrespect towards either of them). What I like about the AviarX3 is the”

“I had a 166gr Champ Beast, and for some magical reasons I could get the most beatiful late turn from it, until I left it in a field. I miss”
The Caiman is their forehand midrange and approach disc and their overstable putter for windy days; they like it a touch more than the Pig.
“It’s my forehand midrange and approach disc. It’s also my overstable putter for windy days. I like it a teensy bit better than pig, but that’s my alternative to caiman. Toro and rat aren’t”
Has had several Sheriffs; it suits their backhand with a nice S-curve flight, though once beaten in they get a little flippy.
“I find it really lines up well with my backhand style. Gives me a nice s curve flight. Once they beat in they start getting a little flippy for me but they are great”
The Trespass gives them their best results, 360-400 ft, but as it wears in the turn sometimes rides forever without enough flex back.
“I have had trouble finding a driver that works for my arm speed and I've had the best results using the Trespass (360ft-400ft). However, I believe as I am improving and the disc gets”
Wasn't a fan of the Raider; couldn't tell if it was meant to be overstable or stable or get a feel for it.
“As far as the Raider, I wasn't a fan. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be overstable or stable and couldnt get a”
The Verdict was the first midrange they threw well because they could huck it with bad form and still not flip it over.
“Verdict was the first midrange I learned to throw well because I could huck it with bad form and still not flip it over. Back when I didn't know how to throw a buzz”
Has thrown both: the Animal wasn't bad, but the Range is much more torque-resistant and forehands better; the Animal's bead was a downside.
“The range flies straight, very torque resistant. Much more so than the animal. Animal wasn’t bad, just had a bead, and range forehands better on my experience.”
Bought a DX Alien as a goof and fell in love with it backhand, throwing touchy forehand lines better than with most approach discs, though DX will beat in fast.

Their new near-puddle-top Z Raptor is surprisingly more overstable than their somewhat used Champion flat-top Firebird.

“I personally love the disc. It flies super straight and on whatever line you put it to, and doesn’t have left or right fade (unless”

Their Metal Flake Gator flies like a faster Harp, but they now bag only Harps since those do most of what the Gator can.

Couldn't switch to a full MVP/Axiom bag until the Insanity because of the Escape; an ideal third driver for slower arms.

“My favorite disc is the Mystere, but sometimes I need a little extra fade at the end since I can get it to go super straight on a slight anhyzer”
The Nova's depth makes it tricky to grip; their fan grip doesn't work the same, throwing off the release angle.

Tried Invaders: they only felt good in base plastic but were too flippy, while premium ones were too domey with unwanted glide.

Carries a beat-up DX Dart as their understable mid; it is very glidey and fast for an approach disc, great for big slow anhyzers.

“I've never liked the Atlas. If you want a neutral midrange, get a buzzz/buzzz ss. If you want an overmold, get an MVP disc. I'm”
The Aviar3's flatter top makes it faster and less glidey than an Aviar, likes being thrown harder, is less affected by wind, and its flat hand feel is great for forehands.

Loves the shallow, flat feel of the AviarX3, but it is too beefy to be their main putter.

Loves the Zone on every throw: it's reliable and ignores wobble better than any other disc they've seen.
“I love the Zone, backhand, forehand, whatever hand. It’s amazing. It’s reliable and ignores wobble better than any other disc I’ve seen. I wish there was an equally **torque resistant**,”

The Eagle is one of the best molds for sharp straight forehands: it rides a slight anhyzer straight, then dumps without skipping far.
“Eagle is one of the best molds for sharply thrown straight forehands. It will ride straighton a slight anny until it runs out of steam. Then it dumps out and”
The Corvette was their go-to distance driver, but it was too flippy, so they switched to Destroyers and Wraiths for consistency into headwinds.

“Star Caiman is an absolute workhorse - powered up it just goes and always gets the hook up. Powered down it can flex late, hook in when I need it, and even skip shot”
Has been bagging and loving the Trespass since switching to Dynamic Discs; a Sword comes out only for long tailwind drives since it is more understable.

Their big-box Corvette is easier to bomb than its numbers suggest, with insane glide and more flip than it seems.

The Destroyer is their all-round workhorse.
“Destroyer is my all around workhorse. Wraith if I need”

Their Champion Atlas goes super straight with a reliable fade while a lighter one flips fairly easily; they used both together before recently dropping them.

Bags both a DX Aviar and Aviar3; the Aviar3 has a bit more speed and stability but less glide, so it suits longer upshots and drives off the tee.
“I bag both an aviar and aviar3 in DX. They have a similar design and feel for the most part. Both have beadless rims unlike the KC model, but the 3 has a flat”
Uses Star AviarX3s as a regular approach disc alongside putting with Invaders.
“I putt with Invaders (in Star plastic, sometimes XT), and I use AviarX3s as a regular approach disc (also in Star). Aviars were my main”
Used to bag a very overstable Z, a Cryztal FLX and a run-over, super straight ESP Zone; the ESP was replaced by a similar-feeling Tempo.
“I used to bag 3 zones: a very OS Z, a Cryztal FLX, and a beat up ESP that had been run over by a car and was super straight.”
The Beast is the disc that has been in their bag the most over the years.
“Appreciate seeing some love for the Beast. It's the disc that has been in my bag the most over the”
Tried all of these and settled on a Caiman as their midrange version and a Toro for approaches around 200 ft.

Has spent time with a pair of recycled Trespasses: a great driver in calm conditions.
“The only one of those discs I've spent any time with is a pair of recycled Trespasses. Great driver in calm conditions. I don't know”
Found their first-run Z Scorches too overstable, but an ESP Scorch has been their favourite driver since.

Their Star Roc3 is less overstable than their Star Shark.
“I have a Star Shark and a Star Roc3. The Shark is more OS than”
Couldn't get on with any Roc; not a fan of the hand feel and they catch on their grip.

PFN Orcs are money; they have two Champion ones, but a recent Champion F2 doesn't fly the same.
“PFN Orc’s are money! I have two in Champ that I’ll never get rid of. Also have a more recent Champ f2, and it just”
Finds the Rhyno pretty flippy depending on plastic; Nexus Star beats in within a year, while Champion or Halo hold longer.
“Pretty flippy depending on the plastic. I go through a Nexus Star Rhyno about once a year when they beat in too much. Champ or”
Uses the Mamba on a couple of holes at each local course; new ones have more stability than the numbers suggest.
“It's not my main driver, but there's a couple holes at all of my local courses that I use it on. When their new, they have more stability than the”
The Mystere is one of their favourite discs.
“Mystere is one of my favorite discs too. If I want something with more fade”
Has both; the Dart flies almost identically to the Nova, but the Nova floats a bit more.
“I have them both. The Dart has an almost identical flight to the Nova, but doesn’t float quite as much, might skip ever so slightly”
Finds their Rat and Shark identical, maybe the Rat with a little more fade.
“Its interesting, to me the Rat and the Shark are identical. Maybe my Rat has a little more fade? Maybe”
Tried an R-Pro Pig when Rhynos were hard to find and came to love it.
“I ended up trying an R-Pro Pig and have come to love it. Now the Pig is OOP and has”
Has fallen in love with the Mako3 for straight 175-250 ft shots; it doesn't fade if released flat, which is helping them throw flatter.
“I've fallen in love with the Mako3 for straight shots 175-250 feet. The thing just does not fade if I release it flat and honestly that is helping me to”
Settled on a beaded Star Gator after the Harp and Zone didn't stick; the Zone skipped too much for them.
“beaded star gator for me. Gave the harp and zone chances but they did not stick. Zone seemed to skip too much for me and both discs felt a bit”
Thinks the Invader is a comfortable, reliable and fantastic putter: flat, fairly shallow, with a medium-small bead and a natural nose.
“I think it’s such a comfortable, reliable and overall fantastic putter. Flat, fairly shallow, med-small bead, “natural” nose shape. That checks all of my subjective boxes. I throw a TON”
Found a Gorgon while searching for a lost disc and loved it for the rest of the round.
“While looking, I found 6 discs, one of which was a Gorgon. I used it the rest of the round”
Loves their Halo Fox, with much more glide than their usual molds.
“I love them. They have so much more glide than my usual plastic molds and I feel like I have more control over their flight”
Their original Hailey King Halo Hawkeye has been in their bag since release; it started a bit overstable for an FD-type disc.
“The original Hailey King Halo Hawkeye (I want to say 2022) is my go to FD-ish mold. I've had the same one in my bag since they came out. It started out a bit”
Star Jay overlapped with their Mako3, so they bag a beat-in Champion Jay, which is a straight laser beam.
“I found the stars understability overlapped too much with my mako3, so I bag a beat-in champion Jay and it’s a straight laser beam”
The Leopard is their favourite disc as a casual player.
“The Leopard is my favorite disc (as a casual player) and want other disc's similar”
The Leopard3 recently became the first non-MVP disc in their bag, kicking out a Rhythm.
“Leopard3 recently became the first non-MVP family disc in my bag (kicked out a rhythm). As others have said, the”
Without a big arm, finds the Eagle a reliable, consistent fairway driver that feels very comfortable in hand.
“Even though I don't have a big arm, it is just a reliable, consistent fairway driver for me, and it feels very comfortable in my”
The Corvette is a real bomber for an average intermediate thrower; nice glide, and their two have more like -1.5 to -2 turn.
“Corvette is actually a real bomber, the 14 speed is a bit dramatic. For an average intermediate thrower it can really go. The glide is nice and the two I have the turn is”
Used a Dragon for years and it was their farthest disc by far with a big hyzer release, though it is ruined after just two full-speed tree hits.
“I used a Dragon for a few years. And for a long time it was my farthest flying disc, by far. Dragon requires a big hyzer release, on a high(ish) line, to allow for”
Their Champion I-dye Destroyer flies almost as far as their main Halo Shryke but with a much stronger fade.
“I have a Champion I-dye Destroyer that flies almost as far, but with a much stronger fade at the end, then I also have a”
Their Star Firebird is straight for most of its flight then drops, while the 2025 Sexton is a meat hook for forehand flexes and skips; precise even in wind.
“I keep a Star and a 2025 NS Firebird. The Star is very straight for 80% of the flight, then just falls out of the sky. I love it for drives where I want”
Used an XT Atlas for four months as their primary mid but dropped it for inconsistency, replacing it with an EMac Truth; it got less stable quickly.
“Used an atlas for 4 months as my primary mid. I removed due to inconsistency. Mine was XT. Replaced with”
Their primary putters are two KC Pro Aviar3s: flat top, shallow, no bead, easy to throw and putt with, though KC Pro wears on chains.
“My primary putters are two KC Pro Aviar3's. They are flat top, more shallow, no bead. Easy to throw and putt for me. The KC Pro's can be harder to”
The AviarX3 has considerable glide and flies straight at high speed, with solid fade that comes on late, unlike the far more overstable Zone.
“AviarX3 has considerable glide and flies straight at high speed. It has solid fade, but it comes on late. The Zone is far more overstable in general. The Zone has”
Uses a broken-in Jawbreaker Zone alongside a Z FLX Zone; the Jawbreaker sits between their Tour Luna and the Z FLX.
“I use a broken in jawbreaker zone alongside my Z FLX Zone. The jawbreaker is just what you are describing. Right in the middle between”
Threw many Beasts at about 300 ft of power, sometimes 400+; a max-weight DX Beast has a nice hyzer-flip glide until a few tree hits turn it into a roller disc.
“So, as someone who threw a lot of Beasts a few years back (averaging ~300ft of power, but have thrown it 400+ft a few times), my ranking would be. 1. Max Weight DX Beast”
Bags a Caiman alongside a Toro, throwing the Caiman exclusively forehand, and keeps Champion Caimans around since Champion Gators are hard to find.
“Toro and Gator(3)/Caiman. Both BH and FH for Toro and Gator(3). Caiman exclusively FH. Also, it’s “tough” to find Champion Gators (not MF), so I keep Champion Caimans around for that reason as well.”
The Trespass is one of their go-to discs, but it gets understable once beaten in and sometimes doesn't come back late.
“I like to throw the Trespass (its one of my go to discs) but I find that it get's under stable once it beats in and some times does not”
Their beat-in ESP Scorch flies like a -3/2 while a newer replacement started out much more overstable.
“I lost my good ESP Scorch recently and bought another to replace it. Forgot how OS they start out, and then when I got my lost one back, I couldn't”
Throws their DX Roc3 on hyzer for long open approaches.
“I throw my DX Roc3 on hyzer for long open approaches. A premium plastic Shark3”
The Champion Rancho Roc is the answer for them; they throw the USDGC ones.

Threw the Orc for years as the stable counterpart to their Valkyrie until the Thunderbird replaced it.
“Threw the Orc as my stable counterpart to the more understable Valk for years. But when the Thunderbird came out and I developed more consistency”
Finds a Star/Halo plus an R-Pro Rhyno a great combo, preferring a flat one.
“Star/Halo and an R-Pro are a great 1-2 combo. Finding a flat run of Star/Halo can be a trick though”
Bags a Star Mamba for downhill and tailwind shots; their two longest throws, both over 430 ft downhill, came with it.
“I bag a Star Mamba but only use it for certain shots. My 2 longest throws were with it: both over 430' downhill when my usual drives are 350-375'. I”

“I've broken 3 now. I won't buy anymore Novas. Good luck getting anything outta Innova”
Their Star Rat is significantly more understable than the Toro and can't handle any power.
“The star rat I have is significantly more understable than the toro and can’t handle any power. I’d recommend the prodigy A5 as the slightly”
Finds the Pig feels and flies more like a 4 speed, with a sharper rim than a Zone.
“To be fair, the Pig does feel and fly more like a 4 speed. It has a “sharper” rim than”
Their Halo Mako3 started slightly more stable and has beaten in to dead straight.
“I have a halo mako 3 so slightly more stable but has beat into absolutely dead straight. The next straight”
After significant fieldwork with four overstable mids, settled on the Zone and the Gator, bagging a Metal Flake Gator.
“I've given significant field work to all four molds and have settled on the Zone and the Gator. I have a bunch of different plastics but currently bag a Ti Zone, a Soft Zone,”
Putted with Yetis for a while but prefers the feel of the Invader, a little lower profile and faster.
“I just prefer the feel of the Invader- a little lower profile, a little faster”
Finds Gorgons only want to glide; one kicked almost 150 ft off a tree and never wanted to land.
“Gorgon's only want to glide. I had one tree kick almost 150' feet, it's like that disc never wants to get to the ground. I swear if those things hit”
The Star Fox is easily one of their favourite new molds.
“the Star Fox is easily one of my favorite new molds - along with the”
Their Hawkeye is closer to a Teebird than a TL, not nearly as flippy as their River.
“My Hawkeye is closer to a Teebird than even a TL, let alone a River. It's not nearly as flippy”
Their Metal Flake Jay sits between their Eclipse Hex and Neutron Pyro in stability; on good throws it goes as far as the Hex.
“I got a Metal Flake Jay at a tournament and it fits between my Eclipse Hex and Neutron Pyro in stability. I haven't noticed it being particularly far. On good”
Still throws the original Leopard, carrying two at all times with a stash of backups.
“I still throw the OG Leopard. I've never bothered to even try the Leo3 because I have a stash of Leo backups to pull from when I lose one or”
Loves the Leopard3 for backhand hyzer flips and turnovers, though a Crave has taken its slot.
“I love the Leopard3 but my Crave has taken that slot now. But I used it for hyzerflips and turnovers.”
Eagles need seasoning to reach their potential; brand new they almost never get the -1 turn, and their last couple were more overstable than Teebirds.
“Eagles are discs that you need to put some loving into before they maximize their potential. They almost never get the designated -1 turn when brand new. The last couple”
Their 173 g Champion and 169 g GStar Corvettes bomb farther than their other distance drivers thanks to the -2 turn.
“Yup, same experience for me with the -2 turn. I have a 173 champ & a 169 GStar Corvette that bomb farther than my other distance drivers because of that”
Took a few months to learn the Dragon; as a 150-class disc the mistake was too much power, and once they powered down they appreciated it.
“Dragon took me a good few months to actually learn how to throw it. Since it's 150 class the biggest mistake was way too much power. Once I powered down I was able to”
Has a Star Destroyer that is a wicked forehand disc.
“I have a star destroyer that is a wicked forehand disc. Wraith just dives for”
Throws the Firebird backhand only, above all for distance control.
“I’m probably a little different but I throw the Firebird backhand only. Above all else, I’m throwing the Firebird for distance control. I know that”
Their 180 g XT Atlas seems a tad more understable than the Champion one they lost; the Atlas is perfect for tunnels and longer midrange shots.

Got a DX Aviar3 hoping it would drive better than their Aviars but it didn't help; it is a lot more overstable than any Aviar they have had.
“I got a DX Aviar3 when they came out but it didn't help at all really. To me it's a lot more overstable than any of the Star or DX”
Has used a Star AviarX3 for years; it feels like a shorter Mortar and has held its overstability impressively.
“I go star aviarx3 and have been using it for a few years now. I didn’t like the shallowness of the zone (felt all my friends McBeths). Aviarx3 feels like a shorter mortar to”
Their AB full-colour Zone is their favourite now: more straight than stable but with a reliable fade.

Has thrown the Beast as their main driver for years.
“I’ve thrown the Beast as my main driver for years. I just lost my 2nd one and thought maybe it’s”
Loves their Caimans: super overstable with little glide, and as a heavy forehand thrower they like the flatter, beadless feel.
“I love my caimans! I throw a lot of forehands, and I kinda like the flatter feel of the Caiman for that reason. I’m also a pig thrower, so like”
Bags three or four BioFuzion Trespasses most days alongside an Enforcer.
“I bag 3-4 Trespasses and at least 1 Enforcer most days, unless the wind really picks up or water could”
Loves their ESP Scorch except in a headwind.
“Love my ESP scorch except in a headwind so I grabbed a few big z scorches and am excited to”
Their Roc3 is good for 280-300 ft accurately; DX is super flippy while Halo Star is straight.
“Roc3 is good for 280-300 accurately and a little more if max distance. DX is super flippy, Halo Star is”
The couple of KC Pro Rocs they threw were uselessly flippy, perhaps partly due to their form at the time.
“I’ve only thrown a couple KC Pro Rocs and they were uselessly flippy for me. Might’ve been due to poor form back then but I’ve”
Throws their Orc at least once every round, mostly as a fairway driver, with the same lime-green Star for years.
“Not a single round goes down without at least one toss of the ol trusty Orc. I typically use mine as a fairway driver and have had the same lime”
Their Champion Rhyno has a massive dome and bad flashing, so they prefer the Stasis.
“I have a Neutron Stasis and a Champ Rhyno. I might like the Rhyno if it were flat, but mine”
Loves their Halo Star Mamba: the premium plastic adds stability, and off a little hyzer it flies for days.
“I love my Halo Star Mamba- the premium plastic gives it that added stability I want from it, throw it on a little bit of”
Has thrown Novas for years and broken one.
“I’ve been throwing Novas for years and have broken one. I’ve also broken a P2,”
Finds the Rat doesn't fly true to its numbers: really touchy and flips over, though with the right angle and speed it works.
“The Rat does not fly true to the numbers. I mainly use Toros for upshots and got a Rat to be a straighter Toro. It’s really touchy and flips over”
Throws 4-speed discs like the Zone or A3 about 30 ft further than their Pig consistently.
“I can only go off my personal experience, but I throw 4 speed discs like zone, A3, etc about 30ft further than my pig consistently.”
A 166 g Champion Mako3 changed their game; they now bag it, a 175 g Champion and sometimes a 180 g Halo Star.
“166g champion mako3 changed my game. Now I bag that, a 175g champ and sometimes (in place of MD3 or Roc3) a 180g halo star”
Bought a Metal Flake Gator to replace a lost Buzzz OS expecting it to be very overstable, but it isn't even close.
“I bought this disc to replace my Buzzz OS i lost and this was my last non innova disc in my bag so i got a gator because its supposed to be very over”

“I bag a 169g Star Gorgon and 169g Aura Construct. The Ethos is a backup. Aura plastic is to Star”
Their beat-up Star Mako3 is way straighter and far more torque-resistant than a brand-new Fox.
“I have a beat to hell star Mako3 and it is way straighter and more importantly, much more torque resistant than a brand new Fox. There's so much difference they”
Tried three or four straight 7-8 speed molds and finally found it in the Hawkeye.
“I've got 3 or 4 molds in that straight 7-8 range and feel like I finally found it on the Hawkeye. Unfortunately I'll probably still try others and waste my”
Their Star Jay flies dead straight but not far; the low glide is noticeable, yet nothing else they own flies that straight.
“I have a star Jay and it flies dead straight for me. It is, however, not a far flyer for me. The lack of glide is noticeable, but nothing else”
Their lightweight beat-up 168 g Star Leopard is flippy, unlike their laser-straight Leopard3.
“In lightweight (and beat up) star, the Leopard is flippy while the Leo3 is laser straight. I have a Star”

“I’ve got an Ohn Duo Leopard3, an Ohn Halo Glow Leopard3, and a Halo Star Leopard3. They’re all mildly understable in a trustworthy way. If”
Their Eagles fly like a seasoned Orc on forehand, with healthy turn and a dumpy fade; they have full confidence in it forehand.

Their 157 g GStar Corvette has been a great driver.

“I found a Dragon & haven't been able to get it to do anything but roll. Even with the most extreme hyzer. It is definitely”
Bags a Firebird for thumbers and controlled forehand flex shots when they need extra beef.
“Thumbers and controlled forehand flex shots are the main reasons I bag a Firebird. Don't throw them a ton but”
Prefers the Aviar3 to the X3 for more touch and roles: it resists turning over but can fly straight or carry a hyzer line, calling it the secret sauce.
“I'm more a fan of the Aviar3. More touch with the Aviar3 than X3, so it fits more roles in my bag. It still resists turning over, but can be nice and straight, or”
The AviarX3 is their go-to approach disc under 200 ft, backhand or flick, except straight shots; money for a 100 ft hyzer flick.
“Aviarx3 is my go to approach disc on anything under 200 with a flick or backhand, unless it’s a straight shot. I recommend it. It’s money for a hyzer flick 100’ shot”
Had a Putter Line Zone that hyzer-flipped once beaten in and held up well over many rounds without getting too flippy.
“I had a putterline Zone that hyzerflipped after getting beat in. Seemed to hold up well, only got replaced because I lost it but it had been in the bag”

“I was a Beast thrower for a long time. When it was time to (mostly) move on, I went to the Mamba. I later added”
Tried a Salonen TS Proto Glow Star Caiman; it felt great without the bead but was significantly less overstable than their Gator3.
“I’ve tried the Salonen Ts Proto Glow Star Caiman. It felt great without the bead but was significantly less OS than my Gator3. Champ Caimans might be closer in stability”
The Trespass is their go-to distance driver, with the Escape for hyzer flips, the Getaway as a more stable Escape, and a Lucid-X Felon for windy days.
“Trespass is my go to distance driver. Escape for hyzer flips, and getaway is a more stable version on the escape. These 3 DD molds are staples in my bag.”
Their 3x and Champion Roc3s feel great but don't fly far for them.
“I have a 3x roc3 and a normal champion roc3. But it’s so weird to describe. They feel great but”
Lost their KC Pro Roc, which felt like a Comet in hand but more overstable; they used it for headwinds.
“I liked it because it felt like a comet in my hand, but was more overstable; comets are my go-to midrange. But I used the roc for headwinds, or situations”
Bags an Orc in Champion F2 after giving up on Star plastic.
“I bag an Orc too. I have given up on star plastic though. I get”
Has a first-run bar-stamp flat Champion Rhyno that is money.
“I have one from the first run Innova did when switching to the bar stamp and they are money. But”
Their Champion Mamba has long been their go-to backhand driver for the right turn before the fade; their Star one needs more beating in.

Used to love the Nova as a throwing putter but broke two and moved on.
“I use to love the Nova as a throwing putter. I broke two and decided”
A new Rat takes time to beat in and keeps its stability, then works into a super-straight backhand finish.

After a year of playing, threw 161 g and 167 g Mako3s.
“Until recently I was throwing a 161g and 167g Mako3. In the last month, I've been consistently overturning those light Mako3 discs, so I moved to a 180g Mako3 and”
Digs Gators as very dependable; they can pump one hard and flat and get a meat-hook flight.
“I dig gators. Very very dependable. Not sure what the buzzz os is like, but I mean I can pump a gator hard and flat and get a meat hook”
Finds the Invader too fast for putting, and once it gets on an angle in the air it moves horizontally; it always seemed toyish to them.
“Too fast for putting, then in the air its a similar picture. Once the Invader gets on angle it starts to move horizontally... It just always seemed toyish to me”
Their two near-max GStar Gorgons were not nearly as understable as they hoped, with a 330 ft arm.
“found the 2 Gstars I got at close to max 175 were not nearly as US as I was hoping. Could easily be a me thing, I've got 330' standard,,”

“My duo Fox is the most stable out of the 4 plastics I have the Fox in (Halo Star, Proto glow champ, Star and duo)All”
Their Halo Hawkeye flies like its numbers thrown flat, with slight left-to-right movement, landing on the line they stand on.

Picked up a max-weight Champion Jay and quickly leaned on it, replacing the Champion Mako3 they had bagged for years.
“I recently picked up a max weight Champion Innova Jay and I can't believe how quickly I began to lean on this disc! I've bagged a champ Mako3 for a few years now and”
Their Leopard fades less than their River but fights out of more angles.
“My River has a bigger fade but also if it flips over it's never coming back, whereas my Leopard fades less but will fight out”

“I prefer the Leopard3. Stick with star plastic. Champion I'd definitely gonna be more stable. It flies more like a -1, 2 (not a -2,”
Loves the Eagle's controllable shape: tiny turn, long straight, then fade, letting them hit hyzer, straight and flex lines.
“Love the controllable shape it flies. Tiny bit of turn, long straight and then a fade. I can go: long left with high flat to hyzer shot Straight with flat”
Fieldwork with a new Corvette at their 375 ft average: thrown flat it showed -1 turn with at best 2 fade.
“I just did a little field work with the Corvette and there is no way this can be a Drew Gibson Disc. I throw 375 on average and thrown flat is disc (remember it's”
The Dragon was their first disc, used until their form improved; its light weight makes it unpredictable in wind.
“Dragon was my first disc. I used it until i got better form and power. The light weight makes it really unpredictable in the wind”
Uses the Firebird for targets around 200 ft with clearance; it ignores most wind and handles wicked doglegs.

Since returning after a long break, the Beast has been their most dependable driver: not great distance, but it mostly does what they want.
“So... since I re-started playing after a 20ish year hiatus, my most dependable driver has been a Beast. Not great distance, but it mostly does what I want it to. I picked up a”
Their two F2 Star Caimans aren't glidey at all; they come out for hard throws that shouldn't go far and when a strong fade is needed.
“My two F2 Star Caimans are not glidey at all, at least compared to my Halo Fox and Champion Jay which are similar speed. My Caimans come out when I want to throw hard”

“Not seeing a lot of love for the Trespass here but that's my go-to distance driver and I love it. Also a big fan of”

“I bag both. The Berg is my go to approach disc when it’s a fairly straightforward approach from 150-175ft and”

Bags both: the Detour turns earlier in the flight than the Buzzz SS and fades softly, so they use it for turnovers and left-to-right movement.

“I only throw it every so often, when I have a big downhill shot that needs to hold an anhyzer forever. Could be the flippiest disc I own. I especially”
The Ares never worked for them: stiff, flat, without much glide, so they sold both; Q-Line DD3s outperform it nearly every time.

Their Neutron Wrath is far more overstable than their Construct, comparable to a Champion Firebird, and they couldn't get it to flip at all.
“i threw it this weekend, it's way more OS than my Construct. I can best compare it to my Champ Firebird, which is a disc so OS I can't bag”
The Servo is their go-to dead-straight fairway, which they lean on hard in the woods.
“The Servo is my go-to dead straight fairway. I lean on it hard in the woods. The volt is use”
Finds the Volt more overstable than its numbers suggest, pretty much a meathook.
“the volt is more OS than the numbers suggest IMO. It is pretty meathook. Could”
After a few throws with a 350 ft max, their Trance flew like an 8/5/0/1: it wouldn't turn but was very straight when cranked, not quite what they wanted.
“Only got a few throws in with my Trance last night but for my arm speed, I would call it a 8/5/0/1. Couldn't get it to turn right but it”
Loves the Vanish over the Tern: the Tern flips too much if their angle is slightly off, while the Vanish gives a little turn but flies straight as an arrow.
“Its also why I love the Vanish vs Tern. Tern will flip on me too much if my angle is off by just a bit. Vanish will give me a”
A 400 ft thrower for whom a new Catalyst is a max-distance bomber for a few months, then needs more and more hyzer as it changes; the Vanish was already halfway there.
“To me the Catalyst is a max distance bomber for the first few months of its life. I can throw about 400 and on a big rip with a new”
Bought a stack of Jets, Vanishes and Plasma Waves for distance rollers; the Jet is slightly more understable, with more turn and less fade, like a beat-in Trace.
“Recently I have been wanting to practice distance rollers so I bought a small stack of MVP understable speed 11: Jet, Vanish, and Wave. Therefore these are pretty new versions”
A 300 ft thrower who bags two SE Viruses: a beat-in one holds a turned line and fades softly, while a new 175 g one flies straight with a gentle fade and is very consistent.
“I bag 2 SE Viruses. One beat in that I got used. I don’t know the weight. And a 175g new one. The beat one will hold a turned line”
Throws their Wave a lot; powered down on anhyzer it turns over and still gives a reliable fade at the end.
“I throw my Wave a lot. The Catalyst is very similar to the Wave but faster if you want something that turns over less easily. The Catalyst also has a”
Finds the final-run Cloud Breakers flippy, the opposite of what they expected, flying more like a beat-in DD3.
“They flippy, kind’ve the exact opposite you’d expect out of a cloudbreaker. More like a beat in DD3 as opposed to the overstable DD3s they”
Of a Wraith, Scorch and DD, the DD suits them best by far, consistently reaching 330 ft without gassing it, though it only gives a stand-up flight with fade.
“Of the three the DD by far jives the best with me. I’m getting 330’ pretty consistently without completely gassing it. However the only flight I’m getting is a stand”
Finds the new DD1 flies quite similarly to the original DD.
“the new DD1 is quite similar flight in my experience. That was the one that was supposed to replacing the”
After four rounds: the C-Line DD3 is the most stable, fights wind well and still pushes far, while the Swirly S-Line DD3 is their favourite forehand distance driver, reliable but more workable.
“C line dd3 is the most stable, fights wind really well but pushes forward for good distance Swirly s line dd3 is probably my favorite forehand distance driver I've ever”
Loves the Enigma and bags four, though even the most stable one is a touch too straight for what they want.
“I love the Enigma I bag 4 of them, but the most stable one is just a touch too straight for what I want. I'm”
Finds the Color Glow Drop a decent amount more overstable than a Tempo with comparable glide and distance, a great single replacement for a glow Toro and Tempo.
“I agree with other assessments about the color glow Drop, it is more OS than a Tempo by a decent amount but the glide and resultant distance is comparable. If”
Their Essence has a nice unexpected fade and flies like a longer FD.
“The Essence on the other hand has a nice fade which I wasn’t expecting. It’s a longer FD for me”
Finds the Panic very overstable and bags it on big open courses because they can trust it completely to come out of any anhyzer; it also flies very far.
“Panic is hella overstable and the nitro is also hella over stable. I bag a panic on bigger open courses cause I can trust it 1000% to come out of”
Bags Neutron and Fission Rhythms and prefers them over the Drift, finding the Rhythm more stable.
“I bag a 2 Rhythms (neutron/fission) and prefer them over the Drift.”
Electron Soft Pixels felt and putted like beat-in Classic Burst EMac Judges for them, pressing in well under thumb pressure.
“The Electron Soft Pixels have felt and putted similar to any beat Classic Burst EMac Judges. The Soft flight plate height is offset by how well it presses in with”
Ordered a Watt for fun and it went straight into the bag; it feels like a cross between an Envy and a Glitch.
“The Watt is GOATed and went in my bag almost immediately. The Pixel, like you, I hate the hand feel.”
Putted with Pixels for months, then picked up a Cosmic Electron Atom and after fewer than 10 throws is never going back.
“Randomly picked up a Comsic Electron Atom for the hell of it. Threw that less than 10 times, and I am never going back. I”
Usually throws low-glide approach discs but is drawn to the Pitch: so straight, works on every angle, and at 160 g it stops quickly.
“But I’m finding myself drawn to the opposite end of glide with the Pitch. I’ve leaned to grip it now, with my forefinger doing most of the work on the”
Their Neutron Paradox reliably turns and finishes right at 200 ft, and powered down it flies straight for 150 ft on tight wooded holes.
“My Neutron Paradox reliably turns and finishes right at 200’. I will sometimes power down on the same disc and get a straight flight for 150’ on tight wooded holes.”
Recently got a flat 157 g Axiom Insanity that hooks left every time when thrown hyzer or flat.
“I recently got an Axiom Insanity, and if I throw it hyzer or flat, it just hooks left every time. It's very flat, with a”
Loves their Prism Plasma Pyro; without a fast arm it still gets decent distance for how overstable it is.
“I have a Prism Plasma Pyro that I love. I Don't have a super fast arm, but it gets decent distance for how OS it”
The Proxy is their favourite putter, with a 90 ft longest make, and they also use it as an approach disc for anything under 250 ft.
“My personal favorite putter is the Proxy. Ive hit 90ft longest with many in the 20-30 ft range. Also use it as an approach disc for anything under 250ft.”
Loves throwing the Envy as a driving putter: great feel, takes lots of power and goes far, though a little too stable at lower power.
“I love throwing the Envy as a driving putter; it feels great in the hand, can take lots of power, and goes far. However, it's a little more stable than”
Has a preflight Axiom Tantrum with an extremely domey pop top, the domiest they've seen across any brand.
“I've got a "patent pending" (preflight) Axiom Tantrum that is/has a stuper domey poptop. Probably the domey-est poptop ive ever seen across any other brand. It makes my preflight poptop”
A 400–425 ft thrower who finds the Time-Lapse noticeably more stable than an S-Line DD3; their grey stock one is close to a new Star Destroyer and the purple a bit flippier.
“Noticeable more stable than an S-Line DD3. I got a purple and a grey stock stamp. The grey is close to a new Star Destroyer I tested against and the”
Reaches for the Trace in strong headwinds: stable enough to fight the wind but not so overstable they can't get a proper flight, unlike the Time-Lapse.
“I go to the Trace if there is too much head wind. Same flight numbers as a Grace/Wraith. Stable enough to fight the wind but not so OS like the”
Their used Neutron Reactor flies just like their beaten Proton Soft Tempo, maybe 30 ft farther, while their Eclipse Reactor is a little more stable.
“my neutron reactor (which I bought used) flies exactly the same as my my beat to shit proton soft tempo, just maybe 30 feet farther. my eclipse reactor is a”
Can't get their Axiom Thrill past 250 ft: it stretches about 100 ft before dive-bombing right on backhand.
“it stretches out about 100' before it starts to dive bomb right on a backhand. Forehand goes to about 150' before the massive meat hook”
Their Tenacity is easily the furthest-flying disc they've thrown and they love it for max-distance shots.
“My Tenacity is easily the furthest flying disc I've thrown and I love it for max distance shots but I'm looking for something with similar”
Has never bagged a Firebird because they fell in love with how the Fireball feels on forehands.
“Never bagged a Firebird. Would probably give it a try if I the fireball didn't exist, since I just absolutely fell in love with how it feels on forehands.”
Likes the Mayhem a lot, but it always fades back for them, flying like a turning Dimension; it is quite new so they hope it beats in.
“Mayhem: fades back always. I like this disc a lot, but it's like a turning dimension for me currently. Quite a new disc as well so hoping to beat the”
Bought a Tales of Terror Hex on a whim after five Buzzzes and is smitten; it is becoming their main midrange and even a driver on some holes.
“on a whim I boughtna Tales of Terror Hex from this year and I'm fucking smitten. Its fastely becoming my main midrange and even driving disc on certain holes.”
Finds the MVP Matrix a little more stable and a little less glidey than the Axiom Hex.
“In my experience, it is definitely a little more stable and a little less glidey than the Axiom Hex. The numbers are 5 4 -1”
Finds a flat-top Justice all beef: on a 90-degree mando their problem is keeping it straight long enough before it dumps around the corner, as it only goes left RHBH.
“Flat top Justice is all beef. There is a 90° mando on a local course and my biggest problem is keeping the Justice on a straight line long enough before”
Bags an A2 in their very overstable slot after trying a friend's: reliably overstable and flexes even at low speed, though it tends to skip.
“I bag an A2 in this slot. Never tried prodigy before it, but I tried a buddy’s and loved it. Reliably overstable and flexes even at low speed.”
Finds the A-line's slim profile underrated; a glow A5 eventually beat out the Envys they loved.
“Slim profile of their A line is underrated imo. I had a glow A5 eventually beat out the envy(s) I was loving”
The A2 is their under-250 ft workhorse and the A3 is for longer lines and forehands; they find flat-top A3s the best forehand approach discs available.
“The A2 is my under 250 workhorse, and the A3 is for slightly longer lines and forehands. The flattop A3s are the best forehand approach discs you can”
Uses a Tempo for many approaches but the Anvil brings the beef: more overstable than a Zone or Tempo.
“Anvil. I use tempo for a lot of approaches but the anvil really brings the beef. More overstable than zone”
Uses an Innova Caiman from 150–300 ft with about 450 ft of power: it feels like a 4-speed, the low glide almost guarantees a dump, and they've never burned it over even in intense headwinds.
“I have used an Innova Caiman in this slot (5.5 | 2 | 0 | 4 I think.) Don’t let the 5.5 speed scare you. It feels like a 4”
Uses both the Tempo, great for touch forehands, and the Balance, which they reach for in any wind.
“Try the Axiom Balance. I use both, and the Tempo is great for some touch forehands, but any wind, and I'm using the Balance.”
Finds the Berg slow, unbothered by wind, and tends to land flat so it doesn't skip or roll; it felt weird until they tried it forehand, and now they use it constantly.
“I'm a bit shocked nobody has mentioned the Berg. It is slow, doesn't really care about wind, and the best part is that it will tend to land flat instead”
Testing a K1 Soft Berg against a first-run K1 Berg X, finds the Berg X fades the same but is slightly more resistant to high-speed turn, as the numbers suggest.
“They fade exactly the same as a regular Berg but are slightly more resistant to high speed turn, exactly like the numbers suggest. This is from testing a”
Uses a Deflector for super-overstable scramble and skip shots within 225–250 ft.
“I personally use a deflector for super overstable scramble shots or skip shots within 225'-250'.”
Bags a Zone OS with their Tempo; after trying Toros, Zones and others, it is the only one they've actually liked.
“Zone os is the one I bag with my tempo. I've tried toros, zones, a frag, a stego and a few others but zone os”
Finds the Gator a perfect complement to their beat-in Pigs: it stands up to wind, gives more side-to-side movement for flex shots, and a little more skip.
“For me the Gator is a perfect compliment to a straighter approach. My pigs can do tighter, straighter lines and power down really well. My Gator stands up to wind”
Recommends the Bard: shallower than a Harp, slightly more overstable, and perfect for 200 ft shots that never turn over.
“get a Bard and thank me later. shallower than a harp, slightly more over stable, and perfect for 200ft shots that never”
Loves R-Pro Pigs but finds the Star Pig stays stable much longer.
“Though I love r-pro pigs, they may not stay stable long enough for you. THANKFULLY Innova has realized the Pig has fans and released the”
Pulled a Sockibomb Felon out of a pond and it is quickly becoming their favourite disc for 275–325 ft overstable shots.
“9) Sockibomb Felon. (I pulled this thing out of a pond and it is quickly becoming my favorite disc, but it is more for 275-325”
Replaced their Zone OS with a Swarm: shallower, a touch faster and less stable, far more throwable, and it gets utility shots done.
“Swarm. I replaced my zone OS with it. It’s shallower, a touch faster, and a touch less stable. Way more throwable and gets the job done for those”
The Rhyno was their wind fighter for decades.
“Entropy does it pretty well. Rhyno was my wind fighter for decades. Range is doing”
Has 40+ Roc3s, mostly DX plus McGlows, rotated for 10–15 years; DX RocX3s beat in nicely and stay at new DX Roc3 stability much longer.
“For me it's the Roc3. Don't like domey discs. But I have 40+ Roc3's, most of them in DX, maybe 15 McGlow's (best Roc3 imo) and some in Star plastic.”
Thinks the Roc mold beats in nicely: it starts a little overstable, beats in dead straight, and theirs now finishes right RHBH with nice glide.
“I think the Roc mold is just well suited to beating in nice. Starts a little OS, beats in dead straight, and now, mines my only disc that will finish”
Would pick a 150 g Opto Air River for any course: they can do anything with it.
“I hate to say it but a very light weight River. 150g opto-air River. I can do anything with that disc. I genuinely think I”
Picks the Proton MVP Ion: better hand feel than an Envy and flies equally far on a frozen rope.
“MVP Ion, proton plastic. People like the envy cuz of the holy shot but the Ion has a better handfeel and flies equally far on”
Chose a Fission Tesla for a doubles one-disc challenge and their team went -18.
“Doubles ones disc challenge and I chose a fission Tesla. My partner and I went -18 so I’d say it’s”
