Anyone here thrown one of these? I tried one out a couple weeks ago. The Taipan is a speed 13 overstable driver that seems very similar to an Ape. It has the same hand feel as a Kong or Force, but is definitely a speed faster. Also similar to a Defender, but maybe a SLIGHT bit more overstable.
The Taipan is a good thrower. It flies true to the numbers and will go flat a good distance before sharply fading. The only time I saw any high speed turn was throwing into a fairly decent headwind. If I bagged this disc it would probably take the place of my XCal. The Taipan is a hair faster and longer though.
The Ultra plastic is excellent. It feels to me like Discraft's newer shiny, somewhat gummy ESP.
I liked this disc and would recommend it for anyone needing a fast, overstable driver that isn't a total pig.The Taipan glides well and will actually go very far when thrown hard.
I had never heard of this company. The discs are from Australia.
Taipan: 13, 5, 0, 3. Huge arms might see some high speed turn, but it won't be much. The Taipan gets downrange quickly, but wants to fade hard. Luckily its a prolonged fade, rather than the disc dropping out of the air like a rock.
