Loves the Savant, though it is out of the bag because their seasoned Thunderbird overlaps it too much.

“Love the Savant, although its not currently in my bag because my Thundy is so delishously seasoned that they overlapped”

Used a Savant for a long time as their overstable fairway until choosing an Orc for the same shots.

The Halo Savant is what they wanted their Thunderbirds to beat into; just barely less stable than their Thunderbird.

“Surprised I didn't try this disc sooner. It's what I always wanted my Thunderbirds to break into but they take so long. The Halo Savant is just barely less stable”
positive

Finds their Savant too stable, used only into the wind or for a glidey fade very early in the flight.

“The Thundervant is really too stable for me. I only use it into the wind or when I need a really glidey fade starting no”

Their pre-release Champion Savant is stable; after comparing it with a Thunderbird and PD they went back to Glow Thunderbirds.

“I have a pre-release Champ. It's stable. I compared the Thunderbird, PD, and Savant earlier this year. I went back to my tried and true”

Bought a Star Savant four days ago and loves it; it flips up from a mild hyzer and coasts, with a little late turn before the fade.

“I bought a Star Savant 4 days ago and I love it. If it gets a bit less fade and/or a bit more turn, it's still gonna be absolutely money”

Started throwing a Star Savant after losing a Lucid Escape; new, it did not fly as advertised.

“I started throwing a Savant when I lost my Lucid Escape…I was looking for something with similar flight numbers. New,”

Didn't like the Savant because it was finicky, sometimes super flippy and other times really overstable.

“In my experience I didn’t like it bc it was just really finicky/touchy. It was inconsistent in flight where sometimes it would be super flippy”

Throws Savants all the time; the Halo is simply a great go-to throw-anywhere driver.

“I throw savants, undertakers, Orion LF's, and CD2's all the time. The 9 5 -1 2 flight rating is my favorite go-to throw anywhere driver.”
positive

Throwing the Halo Savant; the -1 turn just gives a taste before beating in.

“I'm throwing the halo savant. The -1 in turn JUST gives a taste. Not beaten”
positive

Wanted their Savants to be like the Viking; they aren't, but they are still good.

“As an original Viking lover, I’ve wanted my savants to be what I always liked about Vikings but they are not. They are still good”

Replaced a lost Big Z Undertaker seamlessly with a Champion Savant: a great woods disc for hyzers and turnovers.

“I lost a Big Z Undertaker and replaced it pretty seamlessly with a Champ Savant. Great woods disc. Can share hyzers and turnovers.”
