Getting close...

Things are settling in.

Entropy/envy/proxy

Wasp/hex. Checking out an echo and mana. Mana is real us, and staying I think. Pyro isn't needed, bye bye.

Crave, tl3

Faf firebird, 12x firebird, ?, Valks, rr
Put an s-pd in and was getting glide, turn and parking 350' holes. Not as os as I remeber, after 10yrs on the shelf, lol. Throwing a c-pd and champ thundy in the bag to compare for wind and os distance.

Wraith, trace, archon
Trace want from a curiosity to my workhorse on my second throw. Wraith is more hss, archon is less.

Not much has changed, which means I'm building familiarity after the summer overhaul.

Envy proxy entropy
Mana hex glow reactor pyro
Crave Votum
Roadrunner Lift Roman Thunderbird Firebird FAF FB
Jet Trace

Entropy/pyro, I don't use either much, but I think both have strengths.

Proxy is GOAT.

Reactor has a more turn than I want for this slot.

Detour on the way, hoping it's a faster theory. Mana is def. in the utility range of flippy for me.

7/9/11 speeds is interesting. When I threw 9s as my fastest, a variety of 7 and 9 made sense. Now... I use a lot of 7, and 11 for distance. 9s come in for control, but rarely. Crave vs lift, Roman vs Votum.. I could simplify, but I have found shots where the 9s are best in class.

6 months later...

Putters
No change. Wizard, Proxy/Envy/Entropy.

Mids
Mako3 in the bag, slots between Mana and my first hex. It's more neutral with that bit of Drift but not Turn, and I can put 300+ into it with confidence.
Reactor out - still looking for my 'speed 5 teebird' disc.

Fairway
Crave/Teebird3. Votums were a bit lacking in HSS. I'll keep them around if I ever need a seasoned Teebird/TL type of flight in great plastic. Folks comparing these to Eagle-x are bonkers.

Control
Roadrunner, Thunderbird, Firebird. First time in so long that I don't have a workhorse at this speed. Thunderbird is more of a headwind role, covering everything else with TB/Wraith.

Distance
I put Traces up against Wraiths and.. it's Wraiths for now! While I love proton plastic, the Streamline flat drivers do seem to dump out at the end. Wraiths are shaping up to give me about 15-20' more on average throws, broke my distance record by 20', and are acting pretty dependable in the wind. Just using ~167g star for workhorse, and 170+ champ with the circle stamp/bubble letters for wind, flex, etc. Pretty OS.

Jets are still good, for as much turn as they have, the dumpy fade is really dependable. I've lost 3 in the last 6 mos, and I'm not sure when MVP will run these, or add dome to them. So, I'm checking out Mystere, Thrasher, and maybe a couple others for my off-the-shelf flippy Wraith. So far Mystere is promising, but need to get more rounds in.
