Couple of things that I haven't seen mentioned:
1. The newer Trident Molds are different. The sparkle optos, and the newer optos are not nearly as overstable as they used to be, and the new GL (color shifts, etc.) come out the box new like a broke in GL. It seems as though Lat. really "softened" the disc in many ways.
Because of this...
2. Buy the older molds. The GLs are Gold, Blue, and Grey, and have a slightly different stamp. The Optos are pink, and orange, and I think I might have even seen a clear one...
3. Older GL's- when broken in, make a perfect fairway driver. You can even turn them over a bit... I often use my GL for a 250-300' fairway that is tight. It will run perfectly down the line I send it.
4. Older Optos- as you break them in, they still have meat hook tendencies, but will glide farther.
Right now for my Forehand throws, I still carry my ESP Zone that is nearly impossible to break in for 175-200' tosses, but the Trident can even steal some of those tosses if I'm really worried about the wind.
I really believe the Trident is one of the best discs that is completely overlooked.
