Lift is more stable than the Inertia. Lift has a bit more glide. Inertia has a bit more HSS. The Lift is straighter and for me flies closer to a Volt than an Inertia. Both can get equal distance. Lift is better in headwinds than the Inertia. I use to bag an Inertia and playing around with some Lifts but the Teslas covers most of the shots between these two molds.

Lift is a streamline Insanity. Thrown correctly the Inertia is stable (-2 turn, +2 fade) while the Lift / Insanity are understable (-2 turn, +1.5 Fade). You'll see similar turn but less fade. Thrown with torque, either will cut-roll. Inertia will hold the cut roll line longer but Lift / Insanity will get down easier.

I've used the Inertia as my primary distance driver for a couple years. At -2 turn, I've gotta consciously release it left and hyzer to give it room to turn and fade. Took some getting use to after spending years torquing in Kansas winds.

Made some good distance improvements since then. I used a proton insanity as my main driver for the last few years before finally pulling the trigger on the plasma wave. I easily get the wave a good 30' feet further than the insanity, seemingly with less effort too.

I've always been better at control shots over distance - but now that I'm also fighting age decline, I ride the Crave and slower discs as much as possible. I can get that stable 300' shot out of an Envy, Matrix, or Crave depending on height and line needed. I can still throw with 375-400' power but I'm inconsistent - have a tendancy to release off line due to poor footwork at higher power. I'll do it if I have to - some holes just require it. I just don't know where it's going. :doh:

Wave / Inertia are so close for me. It's now a daily debate. Wave nets me a touch more stable flight due to it's speed - but I gotta throw it faster - resulting in a less consistent flight due to my lack of ability.

I've started throwing forehand rollers with the Crave and Inertia with hopes of achieving consistent 400' distance without throwing through the air. I need to invest in some heavier weights but I was chucking the 157 wts pretty **** far the other day. I had an audience for a 420' forehand roller that parked at pin. :hfive: I enjoyed that.

Anybody gotten their hands on the Fission Waves yet?...

:popcorn:

Will we ever get the Phase in any other plastic? I like my Neutrons a lot, but I can’t help but think a Plasma would be great.

Also...Proton Flare. Make it happen!

If it wasn't for beefcakes like you, that manhole cover of a disc would probably be OOP by now, lol...

Is it just me and Dollar who like it?

I throw very few discs that are super popular...

I know I didn't have any use for it, motion was plenty beefy for my needs. I remember trying to throw a skip shot with it once and it flared so hard it landed upside down, lol.

Haha, I checked my local store, forgot about the fission waves didn't snag any says out of stock but that's good.. It looked like a new window/listing soo I will watch. 145 fission Wave, come on 145!

Da$m my other discs better show up before I spend more$ Marm-O might have had a chance to throw some he was planning on it.

I did get to throw a Fission Wave but circumstances complicated things.

First of all, my friend didn’t receive all the Waves he ordered. I think the demand was way too high for them to fill everything people asked for. On top of that, the wide open ball golf course that I was going to play was closed because of rain. We played a wooded course instead and it only had 1 hole that needed a distance driver. The hole shape set up better for a Trace than a wave. It was a 460’ hole that prefers a hyzer from release to finish. Any turn in the flight has to contend with trees.

So i only got to throw one Fission Wave one time. I liked the shape of the disc, it was close to my preferred Waves. It was also about 10g lighter than I prefer but only 3g lighter than my lightest.

It flipped HARD when I threw it with 400’ of power. Like I said, I only got to throw once but I’m pretty sure that my throwing mechanics were all correct. Just before I threw the fission, I threw one of my other waves and it flew exactly how I expected. Minimal flip and went roughly 400’ ish.

I’m looking forward to throwing more but a little nervous based on my sample size of one throw.
