I'd say my new firm blue flies like a fresh QJLS, no turn at 300' in calm winds with 10-20' fade at the very end. At 375', it'll turnover from a slight hyzer flip and fade forward right of neutral.
Mine isn't as flat as the CE Leopards I've seen... higher shoulder.
Slightly faster slightly more stable leopard. Maybe comparable to a fresh champ in max weight. I'm referring to my first(production) Icon patriots that are oh so delicious.

Thanks guys! Actually won that green Ghost (sort of). Had a little miscommunication at a raffle that Legacy did at their Ace Race a couple of years back. One of the Legacy guys gave this to me to make it right. Really cool dudes!
A stolen ace, ouch! Guess that disc lived up to its name. . I'm loving my bandit also, ian. Got a sexy legend from dehaas with the sparkliest stamp I've ever seen! My next purchase will be a Mongoose. Would be a nice snag on the PIF. *cough*

^^ lol ... yeah the mongoose is a ton of fun to throw.. even more if you enjoy throwing hyzerflips .. the Mongoose is very understable but capable of tons of fun lines.. love it here in all the carolina woods.. depending on the amount of hyzer i give it she can do all kinds of fun lines .. great bh roller disc too .. yeah if that Ghost ever gets out and up for grabs feel free to give me a shout

My Icon Patriots are more like a -1 HSS and then a -1 LSS at 300' fairway driver power. They just leak out understable thru the entire flight. No turn and burn. Or on a hyzerflip, they are pretty much dead straight.
For me a fresh Champ (or Star) Leopard in max weight has much more fade than my Icon Patriot ever did.

Will do, brutha. :thmbup:
Yeah, I'll see if the Mongoose kicks my Avenger SS flx outta my bag.

Just hit hole 8 at condon park with my super beatup excel ghost. Hyzer flip turnover through a 10ft gap off the tee from a standstill. Love that disc so much!

how does excel beat in differently than gravity? Also what are both plastics most comparable to in your opinion?
Im wondering because i have never owned an excel disc from legacy, although i do LOVE my gravity ghosts, they seem to beat in quickly.

Excel is comparable to DX.
Gravity is like a firm JK Pro mid/putter blend.

excel beats in a bit quicker.. i havent tried my Gravity yet i have good lil stack but been working on beating my Excels.. they are getting there but still arent crazy flippy yet .. Moose told me i should get Gravity b/c they dont beat in as quick as Excel but i just liked the Excel plastic a lil better.. more basline ish where the Gravity.. like Teebird said is kinda JK pro ish .. the beat in difference i would assume isnt huge
