[Millennium] Orion LS

[SomeChump]

One of the first drivers I ever bought was an Orion LS in Sirius plastic. When I first bought it, it flew really overstable for me (I was just beginning, remember) and then as I added more and more torque into my game, it got kind of flippy to the point where I tossed it out of the bag (actually didn't own a bag then) and into the bin. It wasn't beat, just broken in. Meanwhile, I fixed a lot of things with my drive and learned how to drive with putters and mids and tried a dozen other drivers. I pulled the disc out today and started throwing it. I can't believe what a great disc this is. If I put about 80-90% power on it, I can throw it low, flat and straight like my TL. If I put 100% power on it and a touch of hyzer, it flips up flat readily and goes straight and long with just a hint of fade at the end. I had my longest drive ever (pin-high on a 340 foot hole) today and nearly aced several tunnel shots with the same disc.

Seriously, all you Teebird fans ought to at least take a look at this one. For me at least, it's like a longer TL like a TL is a longer Roc.

Has anyone else ever had this experience of going back to a disc you thought you outgrew and finding it to be the bomb?

Hm-mm. I took my Orion LS out of my bag because it was becoming too flippy. I might take it to the practice field and practice throwing it with some hyzer and see what happens.

I like my Sirius Orion LF, it was VERY overstable when I first got it and now its perfect. Ive been wanting to try an LS though.

That's how the valk was for me, it was my first disc, and it never really worked for me. I pulled it back out after I started playing a little more seriously, and it flies really wel for me now.

I have a 150 if you want to trade me something for it.

I would like to take my Orion LS off the wall, because my wife had a really cool dye put on it for me last Valentine's Day:

 

[YonderScott]

A buddy of mine has a Polaris LF I love throwing when he's not using it, but that's the only millennium I've ever thrown.

The Orion LS is a solid mold for sure. The Sirius plastic will stay pretty stable for a long while...it took me well over a year to get them really flippy. The base (Millennium) plastic, however, will make for a good roller right off the shelf. I just recently took mine out of the bag - I used them mainly for rollers and big anhyzers, and I found that a beat pro/dx Eagle-x is a little easier to control on those types of shots. Still, I think it's one of the most solid fast & straight distance drivers on the market.

Strangely it seems to work well for beginners too. We got my wife's son one at 147g and he can whip that thing twice as far as any other disc. I'd say he was getting 80-100' last week and after we had the kids camp he is pushing 150'-180'

i have a sols and an solf and they are two of my best discs...the same exact story happened with me as it did you with the sols...great disc when i first had it, became flippy and turned over too much....tweaked my form and back in action, prolly my straightest driver and one of my top 5 for "D"

I am hitting the practice field tonight, so I will take it off the wall and give it another try.

super necro bump brothers.

why does nobody talk about the OLS? at all?

i picked up a 1.1 168g QOLS and holy crap, man. it's super easy to throw far, super controllable. it's hard for me NOT to hit 360 when i throw it. hyzerflips like a bawss, goes forever. it's my distance driver of choice when there isn't much wind.

i saw some of the other runs and was debating getting an SOLS to go with it, but they were flat as **** and i wasn't sure how they'd handle as they were later runs. does NOBODY have any information on these other than "it's a sidewinder with a spacer"? i've seen other people ask in other forums, too.

if i'm pushing these out to 400 on a hyzerflip, would an opto saint do the same for me and hold up to the wind better?

 

[bfowler]

My 164 SOLS is very flat and is VERY overstable. Did not make my bag. My tie-dye SOLF is a dream. It's my distance driver.

 

[archmage]

QOLS are really great discs (and I don't think there are any other run but the 1.1 out there yet?). I feel they fly out of the box very much like nicely worn SOLF, with some turn and still fades back, or hyzerflip into straight flying goodness. Often times I can use my broken in SOLF or QOLS interchangeably and get the same lines out of both, just a matter or which I feel like throwing at the time MOLS are pretty nice understable discs to begin with too, but they break in to really flippy quite quickly, however that can be useful too, as I carry a worn MOLS as my roller disc. I haven't personally thrown SOLS, as I feel QOLS and MOLS fill all the straight and understable duties for me.

 

[Kodachrome]

good to know, thanks. especially about the SOLS, because at GGGT near me, all i see is super flat or super dome.

i think i'll go there again today and take all their QOLS.

 

[KYdischippy]

I have a few OLS (now wife has them), they just don't have that amazing flight of the OLF to me. I really like the overstability the OLF starts with and the fact that the high speed stability gets beat out while it retains the low speed. I just enjoy beat in OLF's to new OLS's. YMMV.

 

[Derek M.]

I carry an Orion LS in all 3 plastics and i carry a SOLF and QOLF as well. I play in Colorado were everything is more overstable due to altitude. For me, the SOLS will flip up a bit and fade out to finish pretty straight. I cant get my QOLS which is brand new to flip up at all yet. My drives with the SOLS usually go about 370' and is my go to driver. The OLF's make a great headwind driver and seem to glide better than expected for an overstable disc. As to the original question, ive recently switched back to the Polaris LS and am loving it as a long fairway driver.

Bump!

What is the word on the 1.8 runs (the newest)?

Bump. Help a brother out

I never liked the sirius SOLS because it didn't stay straight in a hyzer flip for me. I use my sidewinder for that.
Also my SOLS was a weird shape, kinda vulcan-ish. And the plastic was...not pleasant. Dull, hard, and ugly.
