[Recommend] What are some low HSS, high LSS shot-shaping monsters?

[hisdudeness47]

Flippy at high speeds and OS at low speeds. S curve monsters. This is such a unique shot shape that I've recently discovered that I had already in the Legacy Nemesis, a disc I hadn't thrown since I was a beginner. The numbers are 10 6 -4 2 but my honey bee pinnacle flies like a 10 6 -2 2 and my legend flies more like 10 6 -3 2. They are not too flippy and even perform adequately in the wind. Flat profile helps. I also play from 4500 to 6500 ft so that probably helps as well. Anyway, they are amazing.

My game has been transformed by this disc and I need more discs like it stat!

Looking for any molds/runs of molds out there with this capability.

if you want a really tricky/show off type disc get a dx firebird and beat that baby in

150 class Flick is what I use for this slot. They're nothing like the full weight Flick, and are just magic when you get them seasoned, or tune them a bit flippy...

Sapphire. Will turn fairly easily at high speed, but not at low speed.

Katana as well, if you want something that fast. Easy initial turn, but a little dumpy at low speed.

Eagle-x yo! Dx is the least stable champ is the most stable. Millennium Vela is a flat top version that's a little more overstable than a champion eagle-x.

The og esp discraft venom. Not the new disc they call a venom.

You are looking for a Star Eagle X in a lower weight (168ish).

Where do you find those? The only Star Eagle-X's I've found have been Inncolor and Tour series and they have all been very close to or at max weight

Westside stag always did that role nicely for me

 

[ThrowaEnvy]

Scorpion haha. Don't know what the numbers are but it's hard to range with the glide and potential turn or the hard fade. Not the most reliable that way. Probably 5 4 -2 2. If you pop that nose up though it fades and pans hard and deep.

The Chameleon is the top of this list for me. A lot of the discs mentioned like the eagle X you can make turn, but the chameleon will do it on its own and still flex back whether thrown flat or anny for a more prolonged turn. Turn and Fade numbers I would give around -1.5, 2 in armor and -1, 2.5 in nylon.

I also throw a Nemesis in Honey Bee and would describe its performance just as you have. I carry a Z Thrasher as well that gives me more left to right movement and a little more distance, but is less reliable in the wind. For more understable duties and even better distance I throw the Clash Wild Honey.

Agree. Eagle-X is such a fun disc. 167-9 is my preferred driver weight and Eagles in there do different things (for my arm) than the max weight ones that are beefier.

I've always wished I could find a mid that gave that hard S-curve. I know the physics of discs argue against this being a thing, but maybe someone will crack the code so I can quit flexing OS mids for this shot.

 

[Puckstopper]

Also, a max weight Champ Mamba can be a surprisingly good S-curve bomber depending on your arm speed. At your altitude I'd guess it'd be sneaky good.

Check out the Reptilian Iguana (formerly the Black Zombie Crossbow). Essentially the mid version of the Reptilian Chameleon described above, flight-wise.

I'll agree to the prior Chameleon recommendation.

It's a flex shot machine.

The new run of Tar Pit have an awesome bit of turn before they fade.

I smashed mine on a hard flat line yesterday, got a solid - 1.5 turn then it faded HARD. Finishing on a near vertical hyzer angle.

Great disc for manipulating fade and turn while never getting squirelly or difficult to range.

I love this mold. It actually turns which I've never found a good reliable Eagle do off the shelf.

Excuse me, sir, did you say tar pit chameleons?
