Tell me about Zeta’s Moon vs C-line FD and the Essence. I have a couple of S-line CD1 and can’t see a flippier s-line version fitting in.

I dont usually throw very flippy discs. My Essence is pretty much a utility disc when I need the glide to keep going uphill for example, or sometimes to hyzerflip to flat into a straight tunnel. The Discmania manufactured C-FD is a pretty stable guy, more stable than the Zeta's Moon. I personally didnt really jive with the C-CD1, I mean it was a good enough of a disc but it didnt set itself that much apart from what I had in the bag already. The S-line is more understable to stand out better, and has that same glide. The Swirly S-CD2s of the old days of yore were a lot like these.
So many discs out there these days. I ended up putting the Vanguard and an Skywalker S-FD1 into the bag as well. I guess you just have to pick your favorites that make you happy to throw them, in the appropriate stabilities and speeds. It'd be insanity to have all the molds in all plastics.

I'm dying to finally throw my Zeta Moon CD1. If they're as flippy as everyone is claiming they are, it will make my bag.

Report back! Especially how it compares to the Essence.

All I can say is wow. These Zeta Moon's are the flippiest CD2 (err, CD1) I have ever thrown. I got myself a 167g Turquoise and a 172 Orange. Both have the same profile/dome to them. The 167g flies just like my beat in Essence, but just a hair faster. The 172g one is a little more stable, but still flippy (think more like a very well seasoned RT2, but straight out of the box).
Throwing into 10-20mph headwinds on the day I tested them was no bueno. Even on a steep hyzer, they would flip over and not come back. On the tailwind though, I was getting some incredible distance. These things are definitely a shot shapers dream.

My two golden Cloudbreakers are very OS. I can flex them, but it’s better to just throw something less stable. BUT- fantastic in any headwind.
Are they still lying about having “their own factory?”

Recently picked up my first Discmania Disc looking for solid headwind disc. A purple DD3 S-Line, and a white interior and pink outter rim Horizon Cloudbreaker both are flat. The DD3 has flown the furthest into a headwind than any other disc I've owned, and the Cloudbreaker not too far behind it, both on different lines. I'm interested in checking out the other 12-speeds, and the DD1, and DD 11-speeds looking for flat discs.
My question is I've been reading comments about these discs on OTB, and some are referencing colors such as the 2022 Cloudbreaker Creator Series that light purple means a straight mid-flight. DD3 that grey is beefy, blue a flippy bomber flat, yellow a rocket, and I had found a comment about orange a few days ago but can't remember what it was. Since I'm not finding a color code chart on Discmania website, it seems these comments are just personnel experiences, or perhaps the color of the disc does mean something? Thoughts?
