I absolutely love my Proline Riptide. Every time I throw it in front of people they want to know what disc it is.
I've never thrown a Wildcat, but I wouldn't call the Riptide a stabler version of anything. This is an understable driver.
I use mine for primary 3 purposes:
Super slow sweeping...
I have to play lefty currently due to a injury on my right pointer finger.
Results are interesting. It's a nice challenge trying to teach yourself a new way to throw and yet immensely frustrating going from -10 to +10.

I think the PDGA made the right move for the wrong reasons.
They were probably pressured from Innova and Discraft because a saw edge type putter would make all existing putters obsolete. I've never thrown one, but I imagine that disc probably catches chains better than anything else in...
