Around 300 to 310....At that distance shouldn't there be some signs of it being more understable?
Yes and no. A lot depends on the throw itself, the line its on etc.
I would think on a flat or even a slightly hyzered throw, you would get a fair amount of turn. The fever is pretty nose angle sensetive as well so any flaws in your throw should be that much more visable. Maybe you got one that molded up wierd?
That's what I've wondered. It's not that it flies badly, but it definitely doesn't do what I thought it would. And I agree about the nose angle. It seems to be very fussy about good form.
I'm still bagging the TD2 for now because I'm getting huge turnovers with it when thrown correctly. However I agree it's extremely nose angle sensitive. Thrown with too much nose down it turns and burns. Nose up it will either fight out of a turn or never flip depending on angle of release. I've had some of my longest throws with it from a hyzer flip and some nicely placed turnovers as well.

Thrown flat my plus mold S-TD has only a smidgen of turn on on about a 375 foot shot (I was in the circle on a couple of 400 or so footers this weekend). Thrown with a little hyper it will pop up a little to flat/almost flat. I have what feels like a non plus mold C-TD that is much more understable and has to be thrown with a good amount of hyzer angle to fly straight.

Are you sure your STD is +? I didn't think they were ever run in +.

Ya it definetly feels plus. I have one of the old plus c-TDs that I will compare it too...maybe it's just "cooling"...PDs weren't supposed to end up with a plus mold either but we all know how that has turned out

Not TDs but yes to FDs. My Cfd and sfd have kicked out my pro and champ Leo's.

I find that the + rimmed C-Line TD's respond well to tremendous snap.

yeah i dont throw with much power but fwiw the + C-TD's i have thrown were all much beefier then i was expecting.. both merlot and around 168g.. still have both if anyone is interested.. would swap for non + c or s-line .. i have yet to hear about + s-line but i dont follow the tds much.. bootz would prob know
I've got a few STDs that are plus mold. There isn't too many of them out there though.

I had an early run stiff flat STD Fever (170 something and blue) and it was more stable than I wanted so I traded it to Booter. The early ones like the one I had were quite stable from what I remember. They didn't necessarily turn on 375' + throws either. I gave up on the mold after that so I'm not sure how they fly now. They may actually turn now.

the stiff royal blue s lines are what i throw, and i agree on the flight. new they're straight with a bit less fade than a pd, after some seasoning they start to develop a nice s line and hold an anny all the way to the ground. some of my longest throws without using anything wide rimmed have some with one of those blue s tds.

I bought it at the PIAS in Greenville with the intent of parking #18 @ Va-Du-Mar (pre-tennis courts era). It just went dead ass straight with a small fade at the end or it fought out of the anny too soon.
