[Discraft] Force Love

[pask2155]

Hey guys I'm finding a new love for the force! So anyone using these and loving them???

I was wondering can you cycle these like destroyers??? Like beat one in to Anny and let it pan out???

Currently what I have noticed is there seems to be 2 types. super flat ones that are beefy and have a higher wing (0,3 innova numbers). Ther ones with a bit if dome seem to go just straight for me (-1,2 innova numbers), and I'm using esp plastic with 450' power max weight (173-174)...

You can cycle any mold, so yes you can cycle Forces

Yes forces are exceptional flyers and the esp beats in wonderfully. Z beats in slowly. Underrated mold nowadays because of the still growing popularity of star destroyers.

That's b/c Star Destroyers are better . Seriously though they aren't just all the sudden growing in popularity, they became popular very quickly after they mold came out in 2007.

That's because they're just a better destroyer.

My whole post was about Destroyers...but I assume your saying the Force is a better Destroyer.

As cliche as it is, the Force is a longer Teebird. The difference from the typical cliche would be that it's actually true. In premium plastics out of the box, they're not going to flip (even into a pretty serious headwind) and have a mildly strong fade. In basic plastic, they start out very straight with a slight fade; the fade beats out, then they start flipping.

Disclaimer: I do not throw teebirds.

Whoops! I thought someone mentioned the Force's growing popularity!

I get what your saying but IMO there's no such thing as a longer Teebird. Heck there's no such thing as a longer anything. Discs Don't have limitation, people do.

 

[Dan Ensor]

Faster, then. I believe that a Force will fly farther given similar release conditions, though.

but yeah, just stability-wise they're similar.

You joking because your comments seem to be pretty far from reality?

The Teebird probably is the greatest mold ever made but comparing it to a speed 12 overstable driver is out there.

The Force is a Destroyer/Rampage type disc. The Z Force is overstable and will have a little to no turn and a very hard fade. It's just up against the destroyer which is a very, very popular mold so doesn't get the praise but it is basically a destroyer.

 

[Dan Ensor]

I call the Nuke the DC destroyer/rampage. Force seems more like a Max or something.

Comparing it to TB based on seeing people throw tbs and maybe 20 throws with a TB myself. The TB I threw had absolutely no turn, and a moderate fade. Also based on flight ratings, TB is 0, 2 or something, right?

 

[BirdieMachine]

I have 5 Destroyers in C,S and P. and 1 Force in D. The D Force is more Overstable then all the Destroyers. Force is like a 0,4 while the Destroyer is a 1,3. In my experience at least the Force is more PD2.

I should have listened when my head told me "bad idea. nothing is a "longer teebird"" but my heart feels about forces what you guys feel about teebirds. It's the best disc ever. Doesn't matter what the conditions are, I can pull out a Force and put it down the fairway.

don't worry about it, i (we) get what you're saying. the force is like a nice OS cal teebird, whereas the destroyer is more eagle-ish with the turn and fade.

 

[Josh.arment]

I have 3 forces in the bag. a ti force for super stable stuff, a 171 beat esp force which is my go to, and a light 167 z that bombs in tail winds and flips to flat with ease.

Personally the only reason i use these over destroyers is because they feel better in my hand.

You misunderstand me. I realize the star destroyer has always been very popular, but so was the z force. Nowadays the force love is ever dwindling, and the destroyer love is ever growing even though both molds are equally excellent IMO.

I acquired a stack of used ESP Forces, including a handful of First Runs, so I've been cycling them for a while. I usually carry 2-3 ESP from fresh (will stand up from a hyzer and still finish left) to beat (flip up, pan right, finish right) and a beefy Z for hard hyzers and stupid headwinds.

Nate Doss cycles Z Forces.

I like the disc a lot, but the Rampage does the same job and seems to fly a heck of a lot faster to me. I can go out of a field and throw hundreds of drives (I do this a lot) and the Rampage will out-distance the Force every single time. Mine are the overstable flat Z Forces though. I had an ESP with a slight dome that was a little faster/less H&LSS, but it became very understable after a few collisions with trees and rocks.

It used to be my favourite overstable driver though...
