[Question] Flat, overstable mid between a Zone and Tyrant

[boostedvwjet]

This summer I worked on my FH quite a bit. I have been using a Ledgestone Zone for all FH drives and approaches around 200ft. The Tyrant gets the longer range work, up to the 275ft range. I feel like I have a gap in distance where I don't feel comfortable cranking on the Zone, or taking something off the Tyrant.

I'm looking for recommendations for a mid that is:

1) FLAT
2) Shallow grip
3) Overstable

I have a lot of confidence in the release on both the Zone and Tyrant, due to the flat and relatively shallow grip. The only mid I've owned that was extremely flat was the Element Proto 3 (? I believe). Looking for something similar with more durability for the wooded courses around here.

Thanks!!

The Suspect feels just like a Zone, but is not quite as OS. But for that reason will be a bit longer than the Zone.

Wow, thanks for the responses. I tried an M1, a MF Sentinel and a few others. I've thrown a friends Z BUZZZ OS a few times, but his was far from flat. Gators always felt strange in a FH grip for me, but maybe I'll pull one out and try it again.

Any specific plastics for the Suspect? Don't have much experience with MVP so any insight on the Tensor would be great too!

I use a mvp resistor in that range. It's listed at fairway, but it isn't that fast.

Second the resistor. Kind of a mid/fairway tweener but is my fit between my zone and beat firebird. It's actually the disc that's been in my bag the longest. Feel of a fairway but general flight of a mid.

I dont even like the tensor but it came to mind as a good option. Only available in neutron (star like plastic) but wide range of wts. Lighter have less LSS. Generally always flat.

Yep, resistors are awesome in this slot. They are also great for thumbers.

This. The resistor powers down well for these kinds of shots.

I use a Verdict for that shot, although at 200'+ FH it's more of a line drive disc with a drifting finish. The Hornet could be a bit more stable/less glide. Neither of those discs are in the "so overstable they'll fix everything" category like a Gator is though, but they are more comfortable in a forehand grip.

Yes, Buzzz OS. It's flat and meets all your criteria

I use a Verdict for that shot as well, but it's not crazy overstable as you've already said. It's a straight flyer with a gentle fade, flies kind of like a slower Teebird

FLAT + Shallow grip + Overstable = DD Justice

 

[bobmcnelly]

Lucid Suspect or a Lucid Verdict. They are about as OS but the Verdict is longer by around 50 feet. IMO the Verdict is long for a OS mid.

That's exactly what I use it for. If I want a good stable Teebird flight, but a bit shorter, it's the Verdict with the same throw.
