I don’t actually forehand much at all. But when I do I’m certainly going to be choosing a reactor over the hex. I still really like the hex and it has a place in certain situations but I’m more comfortable with the reactor

I’ve not had a proton wave but I have fission and eclipse and the zenith is a nice compliment to them. It’s extremely straight with little to no turn and then a nice fade back at the end. I still think the photon is more OS…

I like to throw Proton Waves flat and let them S out. I'm throwing 165s out to around 380-400'. I was carrying Neutron but they tended to turn over on me around 340-350' as my spin rate isn't the best. I'm hoping the Fissions will be flippers / anhyzer discs. I could really use something with a touch more beef than the Proton Wave for high wind days. I've got a Proton Tesla in the bag right now - but it's too beefy. I've carried Fission / Neutron / Plasma Photons in the past - the pre-patent plasma ones were the closest but the new ones are all too beefy for me.

My finding is people who throw the Reactor, tend to carry OS / US discs to pair with it while players who throw the Matrix tend to only carry it and use multiple plastics to obtain different flights.

I've tried both - and stuck with the Matrix. It feels like a super-fast putter as opposed to a traditional midrange. I carry it in both Neutron and Proton - the Proton is slightly overstable while Neutron is stable and will hold anhyzers. It's like a longer faster Atom.

If you liked the Axis / Vector - you'll probably prefer the Reactor.

I don't carry overstable / understable discs. I tend to favor stable and vary plastic / weight. Right now, the 6.5 speeds are slim pickings. They cut several when they moved production in-house and they've done a poor job of keeping the remaining ones in stock (except the Crave which must be the top seller). But be patient - they've got a couple in the works (Rhythm and Cypher) that have been PDGA approved which should be released very soon. I believe the Rhythm will be the disc you're looking for.

As a primary forehand player, I can say the reactor, or pyro is easier for me to get consistent results with than the hex or uplink. However when I get a good release and force the hex over just enough, and it then pulls out…. It is SO satisfying and goes so far! The uplink forehand hyzer flip is also a LOT of fun!

I consider the Hex to be my OAT detector, it definitely helps me clean up my forehand form!

Lot of this is still in the rig from this post in March. Ditched the Defys. I lost a couple craves somewhere along the way. I use to carry the Proton Matrix - I've worked it back in and it gets thrown pretty heavy.

2 x 164 Proton Wave
2 x 163 Fission Wave (incoming)
1 x 163 Proton Crave
2 x 168 Proton Matrix
4 x 168 SE Neutron Matrix
2 x 168 Neutron Entropy
3 x 168 Neutron Atom

Obviously I try to work a course with the Matrix and slip my other drivers in where necessary. I throw putters and fairways roughly the same distance (300') and my mids 320-330' and DDs up to 400'. I really need a better fairway option - I'm just not a Crave fan.

I have been surprised by the uplink FH, it did better than I thought. Mostly it's a get out of jail/ no other option shot.

Both of y'all is weird.. Haha, my hexes are 170g, my reactors are a 155 fission and a 175 eclipse :D but I find it doesn't handle the torque as well for me with sub 300 power. I find the hex just rides a straight laser line and is so reliable for me on a FH. That's how it got the bag space. I would have said the reactor turns a touch easier but fades harder, more of an S shaper. My FH game is admittedly sloppy and less advanced.

It's kinda like a Buzzz/ Wasp combo, I do prefer the 155 fizz reactor for BH.

Man the buzzz/wasp combo was my jam for so long. It’s honestly one of my biggest beefs with the reactor. I like that disc so much but it would be nearly perfect if it was 0 2. When rocking only two mids I use the fission reactor and uplink. But with more than two it’s going to be the eclipse, fission, and uplink all the time.

Just moved some good spares to order another pair of the Plasma Vanishes from the pro shop. First impressions have been really favorable. More stable than the flight numbers and really comfortable in the hand. If you’re on the fence, consider this a nudge.

My Zenith held its own this past Thursday on a mostly open course with what was left of hurricane Ian passing by 15-25 mph winds and gusting higher in Virginia Beach. When I used it placing the Zenith right where I wanted it, especially around water holes. First impressions great wind disc that will get another workout this Saturday with same type of winds forecast. I've had it for 6 weeks and an outstanding disc for hitting gaps on the heavily wooded courses I play, just need to make sure there's room for an ending fade.

I had a Proton Wave before trading it for something else 3 months ago, but I got more distance off of a Fission Wave, and the Proton would pop up on canopy courses, so I wasn't using it much.

Thursday was my second day for strong wind play, were getting into our windy season in Virginia Beach so I'm now feeling the discs out. I've been changing out my bag to MVP since April. Theses have been the superstars so far able to play from any wind direction. Neutron Relativity, Neutron Catalyst, Plasma Octane, Plasma Wave, Neutron Zenith, Neutron Virus, Plasma Insanity, Plasma Crave, Neutron Servo, Neutron and Eclipse Reactor, and Plasma Envy. Lots of 2nd and 3rd throws over 4 rounds so far.

Other discs still need to figure it out, I'll post on the thread later as I go along. We'll have winds up to 40 and gusting to 60 a few times over the winter, need to get that bag ready!
