felt cute, ordered an eclipse resistor.
been thinking about going back to it and dropping the fireball. the resistor was a bit more workable so I threw it more often. I like the Fireball but I don't throw it very often because it takes a good bit of juice to get any distance.
I can see that. When I had a Fireball, it was a functional FH disc but nearly useless BH where I struggle to generate the same spin. Haven't thrown an eclipse resistor but really like the plasma motion for that it's gotta go for a bit and then get lateral hard shot. And rather magically, it seems to work well from both sides, at leas as a utility disc.
I tried the Fireball for a very short time, and went right back to the Resistor. The Eclipse is the most OS Resistor I've thrown and very very gummy. At least mine is gummy. I like it a lot.
I tried to like the fireball... ended up going motion for that spot for the same reasons as mas3006. The absolute lack of aerodynamics and glide did not make the fireball my friend. Great thumber disc though if you have the power.
Oh and I lost my glitch last night at dusk on a short 40' approach... took it with me to lock in the chickens.. 3 minutes to find it 10' behind the basket.
sounds good to me. i ordered the se halloween stamped run.
if I do end up bagging resistors again I have a well seasoned blue neutron I threw for years I'd pair with the fresh eclipse.
Then I have Craves from fresh and beefy to beat to flippy. They feel almost the same in hand so they go well together.
There must be more variance in runs than I thought. My Halloween Eclipse Resistor is way more beefy and consistently 15-25' shorter than my Fireballs and my Motion, which are really close to each other.
