I guess I should make it coincide with the end of the world, eh? 
Wait... Isn't that AFTER worlds? You're doing it wrong!
So that's when this place will go to hell.
I was actually planning on moving to the Charlotte/Rock hill area, Then I played a couple rounds with Scott and my plans changed quick. Cant stand the guy :hfive:
Just kidding Scott. Why are there so many trees in the middle of the fairways??? Thats just stupid
I'll be there for Worlds regardless Scottyboy.
You're just mad cause I niced your shots so many times!!! AKA nevin kicked your butt!

Im pretty sure I won the front 9 score against you, Brett, and Whiz and you had to pay up. And it was my first time playing the course

I just picked up a 155g Blizzard Boss and threw it for the first time yesterday in fairly calm, sunny conditions. That thing just flies! I thought the Blizzard technology might just be hype, but my very first throw sent it sailing about 370ft. I easily threw it 40-50ft farther than I would typically throw my 172g Star Boss which also happened to be much easier to flip than this one (and unfortunately got lost last weekend in some water after it flipped into a headwind and landed in murky lake water off to the right). It's too long of a driver for the course I typically play, but I can't wait to try it out at some of the longer courses. I'm looking forward to trying out some of the other Blizzard molds now. Sweet stuff indeed! :thmbup:
Just set my new distance record today throwing a 137 Blizz Boss. I hit 565 today, pretty pumped at what these things can do
Just got paid today and the best play it again around got their shipment in so i went up their and got a 139 boss and a 133 destroyer (and a protostar mamba)... I have a pretty strong arm and all but i love these light discs i was overshooting alot of holes/usual distance spots with it

Okay, as of today, I've thrown blizzard, and I've watched others throw blizzard, and I can now say --- they suck. These discs do NOT have the stability of their heavier versions. NOT. EVEN. CLOSE. Our 134g Wraith and 134g Katana flip over like no other.
Do they go really really really far if you throw them with a tailwind and throw them very softly and with lots of hyzer and lots of snap? Yes. But so do ANY 150-class disc.
Wow. Total bunch of hype.
Oh, save your typing -- I know, I know -- I just don't have any skill, right? Yeah, I'm sure that's it. You're right. I'm wrong. Congrats.

Your experiences are in line with the consensus. Most of the Blizz Wraiths and Katanas people are throwing are flippy and the Bosses and Destroyers are overstable. They all bomb if you throw them in the right conditions though.

135 Destroyer - Awesome, throws far, similar stability to standard, saves joints.
155 Boss - Also awesome. Threw for distance in the wind one day with big OAT accidentally, it did bounce in the wind, but the wind was heavy, and wasn't that fragile in the wind, as most standard discs would also have bounced around. SO, they're strong fliers. I think that I will eventually, if possible, just throw these discs.
I'm very surprised at their stability. Apparently, just the surface area being the same is just about enough to be comparable fliers to the standard designs.

I have finally thrown them all as well, and the Destroyer is overstable, while the Katana and Wraith are really flippy. My F2 Blizz Boss is really sensitive and I can't for the life of me seem to dial it in at all. I guess that comes from not throwing many speed 13 discs because there aren't any holes over 475' in my immediate area that I would throw them on.

How are they in stability compared to each other? I know the general rule of thumb is Destroyer is more stable, but that's in interested weight combo..

Ohhhhh! I didn't know that -- I hadn't read all 100 pages. Actually glad to hear we aren't crazy.

I still don't get the flippyness on the Wraiths. I have a 137 and 138 and will even thrown them into a decent head wind.
I have a 150 F2 wraith and its pretty flippy compared to a friends 144 stock wraith. Mine did come shipped with a dent in the rim but I dont think that is the only reason it flies like it does. Definitely not like a normal champ wraith. More like a 6/10. I know I have form problems so I can't throw it at max power but even at 65-75% it flies past my star wraiths.
