My ultimate wakeup call with the Time Lapse came when I smoked an ESP Anax past it by about 20' with way less effort involved. The Anax glides better, stays straighter longer, and fades way later than the Time Lapse. No 12 speed driver should be getting beat by an Anax so easily. Even the...

I've thrown 1 Venom. First run ESP, 174g. Pretty domey. Very overstable, and slower than advertised. Also, not remarkable glide. I found the Venom overall to be a stubborn flier. I'd rate it at 11, 4, 0, 3. The only time I got any reasonable distance out of it was when I forced it over hard...

Finally tried a Time Lapse. Normal model (not first run). Good dome. Disc definitely isn't flat like many Axiom/MVP drivers are. 173g. I decided to test the Time Lapse both in the field and on the course. To make things fair I put it up against a Cloudbreaker, Zeus, and star Destroyer. Long...

Interesting. The Zenith I tried wanted to flip fairly easily, even on hyzer releases. It had no trouble getting distance. I won't say it went further than I thought it would, but it sure wasn't short. I don't really throw or bag 11 speed discs anyway. If I did, this one could get an audition...

Threw a Bear for the first time today. VIP, 176g. Nice flier. Decent dome. Very similar to a Thunderbird, Getaway, Vulture, or Anax. Honestly, the Bear is everything the Stag wishes it could be (Stag is ridiculously flippy and useless). The Bear flies pretty long for a speed 8 driver, and was...

Didn't find any other threads here about the Zenith, so here goes.... Anyone throw the Zenith? Tried one today. Neutron, unknown weight (feels like 174ish). Assigned flight numbers are 11, 5, -0.5, 2. This driver seems to slot between the Wave and Photon in terms of speed and stability. The...

Tern or Daedalus would probably work, as would a Corvette. For something a hair more stable than those, Charger.

I'd say the Saint is fairly similar to a Stag. Same speed, and fairly flippy.

One more Prodigy disc to discuss briefly. Tried the Archive yesterday. It seems to be a fairly neutral flying mid. 177g. 500 plastic. Plastic is nice. Very shiny and fairly stiff. Not much dome, but I won't call it totally flat either. Pretty nice mid. It won't turn, but it'll pop up flat if...

I have no clue about the Reverb's history. It's a disc I found in a lake. I'm not really a Prodigy guy at all. I try to like their discs, but there's just no consistency. One disc will be superb, and the next few will be totally different and worse. The Reverb is a pretty good driver if you...

I agree. I do like halo plastic a lot. It wasn't that there was anything WRONG with the halo Beast, but I guess it just wasn't what I was expecting. All the Beasts I threw years ago were noticeably flippier and had more glide. FWIW, I think Gurthie halo Wraiths are some of the best Wraiths...

I guess I'll discuss the Beast here briefly. Threw one today for the first time in at least 10 years. Halo Beast. X mold. Honestly, the fact that this disc was X mold was the only reason I threw it. I hate the Beast L mold, which is why I haven't touched the Beast in years. 173-5g. Nice dome...

Anyone heard of or thrown the Reverb? Seems to be a new-ish overstable distance driver from Prodigy. Given flight numbers are 13, 5, 0, 3.5. After trying one today, I pretty much agree with those flight numbers. Unknown weight. No markings or embossing anywhere on the disc. Definitely not below...

IDK if you're brand specific, but I feel like the Anax does everything the Starfire or Thunderbird does, but way better.

PD, Musket, Boatman, Anax, Vulture are all fairly similar to an Orc. Of the lot I'd pick the Anax. It's maybe a hair slower than an Orc, but will go every bit as far without turning. The Musket is also worth a look, but they start getting flippy long before an Orc will. PD is about the same...
