The Sampo was their step-up disc to higher speeds once they hit 300 ft.

“I've been a big fan of the west side sampo, it was my step up disc to higher speeds once I hit 300 and it's”

Ran a Trilogy Challenge; with a 300-350 ft arm the Sampo held lines but finished left, very glidey and overstable.

“I throw 300-350, so not a big arm. I could hold the line and it finished a bit left every time. So not a hyzer disc but consistently left. It is very glidey (all”

An intermediate player, the Sampo dumped hard at the end but felt similar to a Thunderbird.

“I'm an intermediate player at best, and the sampo did dump hard at the end, but I thought it similar to a thunderbird.”

The Sampo was too overstable for them usually but great in a Wyoming headwind.

“The sampo was definitely too over stable for me regularly, but having played the challenge in windy Wyoming I found it great in a headwind.”

Had the same dumping issue with the Sampo and threw it only twice in a round.

“I had the same issue with the sampo. I threw it twice”

The Sampo was probably their favourite disc of the 2015 Trilogy Challenge set.

“So I've heard a lot of people seeming to be hating on the Sampo. I don't quite know why because it was probably my favorite disc of all of them.”

The Sampo does not fill a bag hole for them, and its Elasto plastic felt like gummy bears in summer heat.

“My only issue with the Sampo is it doesn't fill a hole in my bag. As for the TC Sampo, Elasto plastic in the Georgia summer heat feels like throwing”

Their Sampo beat in very quickly, gaining glide and some high-speed turn that added distance.

“I recommend throwing the Sampo for a little bit. Mine beat in very quickly and gets a lot more glide now. It even gets a bit of high speed turn which added a lot”

Found the 160 g Elasto Sampo solid and soaring for an experienced player, though too overstable for beginners.

“However, for a more experienced player, the Sampo is SOLID! For a 10 speed driver, this thing can soar. With a flat release, it will release with a VERY MILD”

Threw a heavy Sampo on flex shots for birdie after birdie; once figured out it is money.

“was thinking of making the same post after an afternoon of throwing a heavy Sampo on that very shot and making birdie after birdie. Once you figure this bad boy out, it is money.”

Loved the Sampo for flex shots on longer holes; like a PD or Thunderbird but a bit beefier.

“I LOVED THE SAMPO! Everytime I stepped up to the tee, I said watch me put this on a roller... The roller wouldn't work, obviously. But I got some nice flex shots on longer”

Loves their 168 g Sampo, which soars with a little anhyzer, backhand and forehand.

“I really love the Sampo I have! 168g. Totally agree with all you said OP, a little anny and the Sampo soars. It's becoming one of my goto throwers for”

Their Sampos fly like a better PFN Champ Starfire, though Elasto plastic is unthrowable above 85 F.

“I used to have a Pfn champ starfire that I never got around to replacing. My sampos are that but even better, but I must say when temps get above 85 I cannot throw”
