SI just like the Nuke OS as a preferred distance driver because I can throw it hard without flipping it. Deep baseball background, so throwing hard is comfortable for me.
What a dip**** comment.
Elaborate.
The Nuke OS is a very advanced golf disc meant for big arms. In the hands of normal players it is best as a spike hyzer, over hand and shorter hard turning shots, but honestly a slower disc like a pred or fb does the same thing for most players. I actually use one quite a bit for spikes, trouble shots and thumbers but not much for fh. I think the Nuke Os is a good disc for certain uses or if you can throw 500'+. John Drummond, a Discraft pro in Minnesota tears it up with the Nuke OS, he throws crazy accurate spikes and high flex bombs over 400' with it but he also has 600' distance. I would rather throw a drone or firebird/pred for a more controlled fh hyzer personally.
I use the drone for lots of fh work, it is money for me. I can get it out to about 300' fh and its great at short range on a variety of lines with that awesome reliable fade at the end. I personally like it better then the Hornet and I pairs well with the Buzzz to cover all mid fh shots.
My question is would a OS Nuke be a much longer example of this?<<
Not to my experience with discraft (which is limited).. I've found Force & surge for big OS with flash for a throw with more shape..
>> I guess this is a two part question because when looking at the flight charts it seems like the drone would be a good forehand mid. <<
Look to Zone for something less than driver for fh from discraft.. in my experience drones will become flippy in fairly short order with a lot of use..

I thought about using that pairing for my mid fh shots. Now do you tend to use the buzzz for more straight lines and the drone for more fade?
It's funny that you have no trouble with the Drone's rim since it's anything but shallow. It's why I switched to the Zone (one reason anyway).
You can throw understable discs equally as hard...you're missing the point:|
Lulz.

Zones are sweet, love the shallow rim.
