A few weeks of dedicated fieldwork, and I feel like I really understand the Proton Insanity(174g) a lot more now. Its become my main workhorse and has kicked the Mantis out of my bag. HW21 Insanity(174g) is more of a utility driver(but I'm afraid of losing it) so I tried out a couple electron Volts for an Overstable fairway, and they've become a go to staple now. thinking of paying with some plastics to see what I really want/like out of it, but its hard to beat 11$ lab seconds. the Fission/Neutron Wave(167g) combo has become deadly as all hell, and I've been really liking the Fission(170g)/C-Neutron(167g) Photon combo for windy days. still can't find a putter that "clicks" with me.

Plasma Servo testing shows .5 more HSS than Neutrons. I'm a fan. I still haven't fallen for a flippy MVP fairway. The Inertia is the leader in the clubhouse, but is almost too fast/long. May revisit the Relay and/or Crave. Neither was what I wanted during the first go 'round. I am a fan of the Fission Reactor and could see one going in sooner rather than later.

How is the LSS? Especially interested in how they compare to the Craves you threw. |
So, I had been dabbling with trying to see if the Pilot could maybe kick the Envy out of my bag. I had thrown them side by side in a field and the additional glide and distance of the Pilot seemed kind of nice.
Jump to yesterday when I took a pair of Pilots to play a round at my local putter friendly course…. Definitely won’t be bagging the Pilot. When I was field testing them and kind of liking the flight it was pretty calm. Playing with them in 15 ish mph winds was horrible. I can throw the Envy in those types of winds and know what they are going to do but the Pilot was squirrelly and unpredictable. If I never played in the wind I could definitely see the Pilot having a chance to challenge the Envy for a spot. With 15 mph winds being a relatively calm day around here lately it just isn’t going to cut it. |

I've been playing consistently for the first time in years and I'm trying to catch up on the newer overmolded stuff.
Nomad - Bought a soft that feels like regular. Flight is nice, pretty similar to Ions. Tried it out as a putting putter and while the flight is nice, I like the feel on my Ions better. Ohm - Another nice mold that didn't make the bag. I like the flight a lot but I've already got so many Proxy's and it didn't do anything for me those don't. I do like the thin feel to it. Reactor - Replaced the Vector for me. Need to grab a glow version. Hex - Replaced the Axis. Need to buy another. Uplink - Heard about it but haven't thrown it. Typically go for flicks instead of turnovers, particularly at putter and midrange distance, so not sure if I should try it. What other molds do I need to consider trying? Heard the Flare is another new one sounded similar to Fireballs, which I'm very happy with and don't see leaving the bag. |

It's been awhile. The Terra might be up your alley. I haven't thrown it but it sounds like something you might like. The uplink probably isn't for you with a bag of proxy's. Unless you need something less stable at the end of flight. It's nice though for backhand turnovers and touch shots, it's two steps down from the hex for stability |

The Flare is a great disc and even though I haven't thrown a Fireball I imagine it will be a clear notch up in stability from that. This is the most overstable disc I've ever thrown, even compared to my FAF Firebirds and Splices. The Uplink is a very understable and glidey finesse disc. I have a decent arm (about 450 golf distance) and I can't even think about putting any sort of power behind this disc unless on a very steep hyzer. Obviously the same would most likely apply to you. With that said it powers down beautifully and I've found most use for it when I think of it as an understable putter. I can throw it softly on a hyzer and have it flip up and ride straight for maybe 300. Or I can throw it softly with a flat release and have it turn over. Fun disc to throw but only useful in very few occasions, at least for me. |

I love the terra/volt combo and it has honestly pushed a lot of my speed 9 discs out of the bag. I was rocking the fireball/wrath/insanity as well in the speed 9 but the Terra feels more workable than the fireball ever did and the volts give a nice straight flight with smaller fade, sometimes flexing especially in headwinds. I still bag craves and the insanity though. Several discs have come out with Fission plastic available and the new Fission feels great. Reactor's just came out with it, Crave's are coming soon, Waves, Photons, etc. Octanes are coming soon as well. As others have said, MVP focused big on the midrange lineup and we got the Reactor, Hex, Uplink and Paradox. I've liked all of them but with the fission reactors it seems like it should be easy enough to get a rotation going of eclipse, neutron, fission, and beat in fission for most mid range shots. |
