FWIW I'm still liking the Samurai and I put 2 in the bag to replace my Pro Destroyers I use for long distance shots. I have three Evolution Samurais that have large poppy domes and weigh 175 grams. I always deflash my discs but with Samurais and Slayers it is more important because I've found it makes them more stable. The flashing is in a different area than it is on most discs and it's kind of hard to remove but I used a fresh single edge razor blade and took my time.chainsmoker said:I'm still loving the first Samurai I got, It goes a little farther than my broken in champ Destroyer and has a tight flight with a little turn and a little fade. I picked up a couple Slayers online recently and they pretty much suck, they are super flat with flight plates that are almost sunken in. Both of these Slayers are really understable at speed, I can get off some pretty big throws with the Slayer but I also get a lot of drives that turn and burn. I think a Slayer with a dome would be a really good stable distance driver but I don't think I feel like looking around for them. I know, I know, imagine Gateway high speed drivers that are all over the place based on poor molding.

I just recently got a couple of poppy top E-Samurai's that are a little more stable than my proto was, but it is a nice compliment to my proto. I also have a poppy top Slayer as my overstable compliment to the poppy top Samurai. Also, if anybody out there are fans of the Slayer, find yourself some of the recent run semi-translucent E-slayers. They are the shiznit.
Also, while I am talking about gateway molds, the new Pearly Karmas and E-Mystics are the bomb as well. The flight of the E-Mystic is fairly similar to a Z-Buzzz SS in my opinion. Very straight with minimal fade.
