i thought the disc was like a whippet
Yeah, not a bad comparison. That or a beat Drone would work. My advice is to just go all out and throw lasers with it at the basket, don't even worry about trying to get it to finesse itself into the basket.

I've been practicing with a really beat FLX Drone. Figured a wasp may also work, but I didn't want to get used to the bead

Doesn't a drone have a huge bead?
Instead of driving 1hr to Watretown, drive 2hr to Kewaunee and play the Winter Park Ace Race - WAY BETTER COURSE, and it is a day long event full of fall time discin fun at a fantastic course!

based on this thread, and my experience with the disc, you should practice throwing lasers about 250 ft.
hopefully the disc will hit the chains and stick, but who cares how far you go past if you miss.
it seems as if it'll be tough to shape lines and manipulate the disc much so just fire away

I loooooove mine. I have a 177+ that feels like it's over 180 and just sinks when I throw it because it's so heavy. It's going on the wall. The 160-166 however is incredibly stable for how light it is. If I could have got my hands on a 150 I would just to see if it could flip. The 160-166 holds a real tight hyzer and will even go straight for a bit if I snap it enough. I really hope they run these. Anyone know the name of it or have they not given it one yet?

Playing in an Ace Race next weekend. Doesn't really sound like many people here are that thrilled with the disc. It will be nice to go in knowing it's an overstable mid. I probably won't hit anything, but it should be a fun day.
Yeah, I don't see this disc becoming a workhorse in too many player's bags, it's just too beefy to be that useful. Might be a good mid for windier courses though.
Ha, I love beefy mids. I do have a gator and blaze in my bag afterall.
Our ace race is tomorrow, can't wait.

It flies like a longer roc. With more power it holds a very straight line with a steep fade in the end.
Holds a powerful anny flat and super straight like a buzzz. but it needs the power.
Because of the glide and stability it will probably go into my bag

So for a person that throws a buzzz in the 310-320' range dead straight without any fade, will this disc be one that will fade at that distance? I have been thinking about picking up a wasp for a shot like that, but wonder if this disc would be just as good or better.

I would like to see these in a Z plastic that is stiffer than the ESP they used for the ace race.
