I have had my 170 Elite X Buzz for a while now and up until this weekend, was struggling to see where it fit and what all the Buzz was about. I would throw it on occasion and just didn't feel impressed with its flight. I started with a 150 shark for a mid which I liked till it got too flippy, now it is a finesse/anhyzer mid. Then I got a cyclone D 168 which I love, but it is more of a mid/fairway driver as it can get away from me and blow by my target if not careful.
Well, this weekend I finally put the buzz into the permanent mid slot and used it every time I would use any other mid. Even used it for every shot on a tricky par 5 that you don't want to miss right or left.
I am now loving the buzz as it goes exactly where I want it. I realize it needs more power than my old 150 shark, but I can still power it down and get a predictable fade every time. Now that it is beat up a bit, it also seems to glide a little better too.
So, anyone else just getting into a heavier mid for the first time. Give it some time. The sweetness of the Buzz for me is in the predictability, and the versatility at different powers and line holding abilities.
