I would bag one in Lucid if they went with that name, solely for the purpose of throwing at people. "You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooooooth Criminal!"

Parole is set for late 2015, if all goes well.
To me the Felon is clearly faster than Saint Pro, so I have a hard time interpreting this description.
Btw. The Spirit sounds pretty similar. Is this closer to Spirit or Felon?
Maybe it's around a StPro speed wise, I didn't test them side by side and it's been a long time since I've thrown a StPro. When you look at the rim, it just looks slow, its the first thing I noticed .. kinda like a Seer in that respect. I've never thrown a Spirit so I can't compare those.
I've thrown it for a bit now in both plastics, and for me it's a tick slower SaintPro. I'm not sure which one will stay in my bag for the spot in between Escape/Felon just yet. I'm not a long thrower, 350 max, StPro's and Escapes around 300.

Looks like the Convict will be what I "thought" the Spark was going to be. Though I'm extremely happy with the Spark, as its replaced my XXX, but I'm looking for a good compliment to my Felons. After watching that video on youtube of the Convict, I'm really looking forward to it.

Have you thrown the Spark and if so, how does this Convict compare to it?

Been eyeing the Convict myself. Came across this. I like watching Dixon throw.

I picked up 4 of the AM Worlds Convicts so far and have played a few rounds with them now. All of mine have very flat tops and feel really similar to the felon. This lucid plastic is on the gummier side and is quite flexible.
While I love the feel of the disc, the flight is not what I was expecting. These disc feel like felons but their stability is much closer to the escape. I think their closest comparison would be a gstar thunderbird with a fresh thunderbird actually being slightly more OS. Thrown with a slight hyzer the convict will flip up and turn a little and then fade back to the original line.
There is still a decent gap between my most beat in felon and my most OS convict. If you like these I would stock up because I wouldn't be surprised if dynamic tweaked the mold for the general release to beef up the HSS.

I hope they don't change them if they fly like you describe. From your description they sound like they will fit about perfect between my fd and my felon. I've tried thunderbirds and a pd they were a tick to overstable for my power for the shot I wanted them to perform.
My experience as well after a dozen throws with a single convict. Some slight turn with a 300' throw, and a solid fade. Very little glide, like the Felon. Still leaves a sizable gap between the Convict and the Felon. Should handle winds OK despite the slight turn. If they could just tweak this disc a bit to be more overstable, it would be better IMO.
