Guess it just depends on what sells. And what sells probably depends more on retailers than individual disc golfers.

Well, I think that putts a fork in it for me.
No more FLX, their D line plastic sucks, not enough molds in ESP and I can't throw Z-line and that seems to be all they make anything in now (too slick for me).
I'll go out and get a few more Comets (before they make them only in Z or drop the mold all together) and say ta-ta, nice to have thrown you, but I'm moving on
Big Z has nearly the same grip as ESP, and is more durable. I still like ESP, but Big Z works as a replacement. And Z FLX is so close to ESP FLX in flight and feel.
Crack, but never this early.
And I was just referring to the grip. The big Z's I have (Nuke, Buzzz, Zombee, Zone) are just as grippy as ESP (more so, than the firmest runs of ESP). I don't cycle plastic. I rock em box fresh, so I'd agree: Any version of Z would be impractical to cycle.
Now that the killer bees midrange line has lost the Hornet and the Drone, Wasp definitely looks next in line. Too bad - they were the gold standard when I started playing.
...I could probably go all DC except I don't think they have a Tee Bird equivalent. :| ...
Wait what.
Avengers, XLs, and Comets... Leave for half a year and half of my bag is OOP.
I suppose there's like 50 discs in the Avenger's little corner of the flight chart, and Comets and Fugitives (also OOP. Sometimes.) have always been fighting for that spot in my bag...
But not my XLs. No other fairway has clicked for me like the XL. Buying 50 Z and X XLs.
The only Comet they are OOPing is the Z Tye Dye ones. I hate I can't tell you the same about the Avenger and XL though buddy.
