Overstable midranges

[tmattoon]

I'm in the market for an overstable midrange and don't know what to get. When thrown flat and hard buzzz's and roc's turn to the right the majority of the flight. Don't get me wrong, I like my buzzz's a lot and use them all the time but want something more overstable for certain situations. I want a disc I can throw hard off the tee or on the fairway that will go straight (not turn at all or very little) and then finish left. On http://www.inboundsdiscgolf.com/content/?page_id=431#Top and http://www.flightanalyzer.com/ a wasp and a roc are almost identical so I was wondering if that is true at all. As of right now I'm thinking about a hornet but any recommendations would be great.

VECTORRRRR!

Favorite overstable midrange by FAR.

If you want something more stable than an overstable mid, it's a driver.

 

[dusty5150]

Hornet!

I like my GL Pain for my OS mid duties.

Pain, Hornet, Vector. Pick one that feels good to,you and throw it. Now if you want mucho over stability a Gator, Zone, something along those lines might be the ticket.

There's overstable and then there's very overstable.

Overstable: Roc (new or premium plastic), Wasp, Pain, Vector, etc.

Very Overstable: Hornet (not as overtstable as a Drone), Gator, Drone, etc.

I think you're looking for "plain" overstable if you want them to go straight until the end. If you want to keep them that way, go for premium plastic. A Vector, opto Pain or elite Z Wasp would probably be what you're looking for.

Note: since Discraft, Innova, MVP and Lat64 make great mids, I haven't checked out other manufacturers. I'm not saying these are better, but I know they're all good discs.

I use a Nebula and Pain for OS duties. Think I am about to try out a Vector soon, too. Guy had one at a mini last Saturday...liked what I saw.

Try a Gator, Drone, or a Hornet:

I don't think it matters what midrange you throw, if you're torquing it excessively, it's going to turn over. I had the same problem with every midrange. I've recently put a comet, wasp, and buzzz in my bag. After throwing the comet alot to get the throws down so I can keep it steady, I tried the buzzz again. It's pretty sweet.

Overstable mids? I'd suggest a wasp for light overstable. OR if you're looking for super overstable, listen to eegor on those.

Ill chime in on the Vector bandwagon. Get a good Neutron Vector and rip it hard and flat. Great disc. Another great one that no one has mentioned yet is the Trekking from DiscMania. Its not quite overstable, but it will fight the wind a bit. The S-Line Trekking is dang near a Fairway driver its so long. Extremely straight with a nice strong fade at the end. Can also be powered down very nicely...in my experience, Vectors don't like being powered down too much, which I assume is because of the Gyro technology.

Hornet is nice. And the Pain is also nice, but seems to have a deeper rim than the hornet.

 

[RustyStrings615]

Flx Drone

Most predictable and accurate disc I know of.

Perfect for chip hyzers and forehands, needle-threading flex shots, and pinpoint approaches within 275ft.

Unmatched predictability in the wind




....I also like the Z Wasp

 

[Johnny_Crunch]

Wasp and Drone. Game changers.

 

[tmattoon]

Anyone know how similar a new kc pro roc (what I throw) and a z wasp are? And can anyone rate the suggestions so far like roc, wasp, hornet, vector, pain, etc. in order of stability? And the torquing too much sounds interesting to me. How do I torque less?

 

[Allurex]

I throw a Champion Roc (2009 USDGC) and a CE Viper for stable mids.

Q Sentinel or Demon...

VECTOR! Mine are like a security blanket.

What the flip is a Trekking?
