I have a couple of Bendy James N Volt's but haven't bonded with them. I like the Clash and Shock. I will see how the Plasma Volt compares.

I just noticed the Defy is 150gm. That could be interesting. This is another new disc to me.

Cool man, I'd be curious what a theory thrower thinks, I was a tangent guy myself. Had one theory, but by the time ir came out I'd beat the crap out of two tangent for over a year. Broken in tangent my ass!

Yes but only one throw. I think it was going to be a really nice throw until it glanced off a tree. I’m going to do some field work tomorrow to iron out some slots in my bag and put some stuff up for sale. I should be able to get a better feel for the uplink tomorrow

I threw all the Gyropalooza stuff in my Nutsac and just played with the seven new discs. Bit odd with nothing “Crave-straight” but shot -3 over 18 holes.

Relativity - really no right to even look at this. Basically too much disc. Flies exactly like my Mayhem, Tenacity, … just too much disc. I could sort of see it wanting to flip a little though.
Defy - wow. Only 150gm and it felt like a rocket ship. Really surprised by this one. Liked it a lot.
Inertia - pretty good. Felt nice. I have messed with Insanity’s in the past and they felt similar.
Volt - lovely. Felt a little more mellow than the Bendy James ones and flew very nicely. Just like my Plasma Shock.
Uplink - wow … loved it. Every shot I tried seemed to work. I think the Theory is in trouble.
Proxy - it’s a Proxy.
Nomad - it’s okay, but I like my Spin/Ion combo at the moment.

I may try and fit the Defy in the bag but need to mess with it a bit more.

Never did the mystery box deal before, but saw the Gyropalooza boxes were up on a couple Canadian store fronts. Hadn't heard about the uplink, so searched these forums and saw the various chatter about the boxes. Don't have much mid speed options in the understable category, where one of my two options I overestimated the plastics cold weather friendliness...

My rubber arm twisted.

Hoping to get another Volt, appears likely based on the posts here and watching Doth Savek opening a couple on Youtube. Almost lost my Fission Volt this past weekend. Other than that want to be surprised with the other 4.

Personally with my eclipse reactor I don’t see the -0.5 in turn unless I really go ham on that disc. I did some field work yesterday and threw the pyro and reactor back to back several times and they almost always had the same flights. I’d like to try a neutron reactor to see if I could get that -0.5 turn but for me I chose to drop the pyro…the reactor/hex/uplink/paradox were all designed together

My Prism Pyro fades much harder than my Eclipse Reactor. I keep thinking I don’t need the Pyro as I bag an A2 which almost does the same thing. Can’t quite give it up though!

Plasma Pyro I thought was 2.5 fade on the label. Strikes me as a disc with discernible fade. More fade and fight than a Z-Wasp for sure.

You could tell me that disc was a 3 fade and I wouldn't blink.

I must have gotten an odd Pyro then. I should get a video to show yall because I feel like I am going crazy!

I have an A2 and that thing is pure unadulterated beef and the pyro, at least for me, is not even close to that. I believe the flight ratings are true on mine, 5 4 0 2 but the reactor for me is probably 5 5 0 1.5. Again, it's an eclipse reactor so perhaps it holds a bit more HSS than a neutron, but the pyro I have is no where near A2 levels of over stability. Heck, I dropped the entropy because I was looking for something more OS which is how I found the A2.
