Yes I agree 100%. Players could for the time being use the 136 gram G Star 215 HeroDisc SuperSonic by Innova. Yes I do not like G Star for longer then short midrange distance.

That's tough. You're treading into slim pickin's with that qualifier.
The Doggy Style, the Beetle, Zeppelin*, Rattler, Upshot, and Claws have shorter heights than the Polecat according to the PDGA list but I don't agree with the Rattler, the Upshot is about the same as a flat Polecat and I have no experience with the others.
*flies like a lid supposedly if not shaped strictly like one. I think a smaller company is making these since DC didn't put them in production but I can't remember which one.
The Upshot was retooled. I still have an original Upshot and it's shallow. The one I throw is deeper.

That looked closed. I could not load any discs into the cart
Sorry, I didn't even check. I'd say the Beetle and Claws are probably your best bets from what I've read. I will say that as a DX Polecat seasons, the flight plate will sink in and feel more and more low profile. :\

I thought the newer Upshot #2 or U-2 was the disc that replaced the old Upshot in terms of flight path so they retooled it?

No not in feel, even the orgianl Upshot and Upshot #2 discs look different. I was meaning flight path.

U-2 or Upshot #2 is closer to a XD or Colt, the disc it was modeled after being the XD and given a big bead to the disc.

I just did. Could buy the disc from Pay pal if I wanted, did not though.

That makes sense. I go back and forth between a Polecat and an Upshot because I prefer the flight of the Upshot and the shallower feel of the Polecat.
How does the flight of the original Upshot compare to the one we have now?

In case anyone's interested, GGGT has X-out Prostyle Upshots. This is the first time I've seen Upshots in Prostyle plastic.

Avoid the light ones... I bought a bunch over summer. The 160's molded up funny and love to flip.

You guys ever thrown a super beat Dagger? It seems to me like once you got over the hump of wearing the bead in, they could really straighten out and fly like a lid. The most worn ones I have fly like a stable lid in early flight but still fade out to a small degree.

Nah they made them before at the very first time that ProStyle came out, the plastic was odd and then Lighting owner must have relegated the rest to the mistake pile.

Big Kahuna????
Can anyone tell me about their experiences with the Innova Big Kahuna? Specifically is it wind resistant enough for the extra weight for playing long catch? (200g Pulsar is what is is said to be.).
I Typically play catch with buddies with various disc golf putters of mostly softer varieties. Trying to work some Normal frisbee.

You can get some power into a BK with a Hyzer release and it will float a good 175-200 feet dead straight. Wind does not effect it too much. Fun catch disc. My favorite is the makani. Perfect frisbee/disc tweener for long games of catch. The wind does not effect it too much either for being 140-150.

I liked the Innova Apple when I tossed it a while back. I used to enjoy my Wham-O! in the yard untilI found out I was a "poser" (haha) anyway. I've been wanting to grab a Rattler, Polecat, Birdie or whatever (or all of em) just for pure fun. Also possibly a Condor but then it may actually make the ba3 r#g and I'd get made fun of by the guys; Zephyr? Bite? Beetle.... So many choices.
