Rivers are nose angle sensitive. When you get the nose down and a good rip they glide forever. When you don't they crash and burn.

I havent been throwing for long and I have a TM River that Ive tried a few times that I just cant throw farther then my mids yet. I got a used opto river last week and its the first driver that I can actually throw farther them my mids. When I get if out right it just goes.
Cool. Sounds like you are on the right track.
Supposedly, if you want to really learn to throw long drives correctly, you are supposed to be able to throw your Mid Range and Putters around 300 feet, then start trying to throw Drivers.I honestly doubt many people do that, but if your goal is to be a Pro DGer, you might consider that.
Otherwise, you will find you can soon throw the understable distance drivers farther than your Mid ranges. The first disc like that for me was a Sidewinder, but I bet a Vision would have been great too if I'd had one.
Black is such a popular color that it continues to baffle me that we see such a short supply of them from the manufacturers.
Either way though yeah, Im definitively working on the mids and not the drivers, not that stops me form collecting rivers though lol. I'm also probably picking up a fuse, been wanting to try one for a while now, when I get paid on Friday as long as my local shop has some left.
Any weight recommendations? I like light drivers, but for the mids I really haven't found a weight I prefer. Usually theyre heavier in the 175 range just because that's what I usually find. I think the place only has three, all heavier.
what run do you think it is?
Anybody got a pic of what Marshall St. calls "blurple marble"?
They ran a few proto GL pures, thats probably the run. It had issues so the Pure didn't go full production in GL.
Some of the others (booter, EL-Kabong, jimbo, etc) will know more I think.
