Been throwing the Getaway as my straight to overstable 9 speed. The one I've been bagging for more than a year has become rather straight so I started looking for a more of a straight to fade disc to complement it. I've tried a few new Getaways, but finally gave a chance to the Honor and am so glad I did.
I saw some reviews of the Honor online and it always seemed too overstable for my 400' max arm speed. Maybe they were throwing the first runs, which felt a lot more OS in the hand, but the stock run Tristan Tanner Honor is just perfect. I can throw it maybe 350 and it goes dead straight for maybe 80% of the flight and then has the reliable fade. Also I just love the Royal Grand / Supreme plastic so that was a nice bonus.
After throwing the two molds for quite a few throws, I feel like there is a difference and it's not that one is more OS than the other. The Getaway seems to have a more mellow and forward pushing fade, but one that kicks in surprisingly early. For me this flight isn't that useful on most shots. However, when it beats in it becomes just very straight flier with a mellow fade that is money.
Honor on the other hand seems to hold straight for longer, but has more dramatic fade. I don't quite know how it will beat in and if it starts to flip up a bit, but when new it handled even moderate winds just fine.
Currently I plan to bag the beat in Getaway and the newer Honor, which compliment each other perfectly. I'll have to see how the Honor beats in and don't quite know what I would do if I lost the beat in Getaway, but for the time being I'm one happy camper.
EDIT. If my memory serves me well, the Honor is really PD like.
EDIT2. Also, I'm a bit lost with the search function on this new layout, so forgive me if there was an Honor thread already.
