Ummm what?

I picked up a VIP Harp the other day to test as a Zone replacment, and while its a great feeling disc, I did not find it to be beefier than the Zone.

I agree with the Harp being faster, but I just didnt need a disc in that slot. I actually found the Drone a bit beefier than the Harp, but I'd put it more in that class. I would call the Harp a longer Gator. Its much more of a mid range flying disc than the Zone. The Zone is a putter that is very fast for a putter, so its borderline mid.

Not knocking the Harp at all, I had high hopes for it, but it just didnt beat out my Zone.

Don't tell me..!! What's up? Do I need to start hoarding the firm concave ones? I only have one fresh back up left. How do the soft and/or domey ones fly?

Around the time of the ESP Glo run, there was a new top and inside rim tooling added. Not seeing a lot of flatties from the changes. Part of me thinks Discraft didn't want concave tops and made a top to prevent it. Too bad they're stopping producing my favorite Zones.

Same here. Wanted a rubbery soft Zone, so I got a BT Soft Harp. It is a great disc, I really like it. But it is nowhere near as OS as any premium Zone. Maybe close to a D Zone that has been scuffed up a bit. Or more than a bit.

Sorry, man. That was an inside joke between Dave and I. If I sent you a Glo Zone, he'd fly immediately to Cincy and end me.
