Hmm. I might give it a shot and see what happens anyway. It flies OK actually, just don't like a dome with my mid grip.

So, I've been messing with a new Tangent and a used Alias to figure out what I want to carry in the short straight mid category. Throwing them in places I would use anything from a Pure to a Truth. Loving both discs, but the glide thing is so apparent now. Anything downwind or low ceiling just doesn't work for me with either the Tangent or Alias. They drop almost the entire way to the target.
Personally I'm a big fan of the Inertia. I've been using it more and more now that the dust has settled with their distance drivers and I see how they work together. I get consistent, controlled hyzer flips from mine that glide very nice.
They felt a lot more understable to me the first day I threw them for some reason. As I've gotten used to them I'm finding them much more controllable than I did that first time out. I'm even bagging a 166 Impulse at the moment that I really like throwing.
I'll second your Tangent recommendation too. It's the first mid I recommend to players wanting to test out some MVP.

My P Tangent is like that. I feel like the glide is 100% spin dependant. When I get the leverage right on release, it's fairly glidey, if not it will drop early. It's definitely not as good as the Axis on shoulder-high lines for me.
Ironically, this drop is what's keeping it in the bag right now more than anything. It's as good as any stable disc at flying a straight, tall line, and dropping almost straight down once it stalls. And on a good throw, I can get pretty good distance on this shot. Sneaky long on tight uphill approaches for this reason.
tangents will glide like hell when you give them a full hit but just don't fly 500' doing it.
Like you mention toro its a really spin happy disc but also what makes it so damn workable.

I guess that is why I like it so much on anny releases. Pretty sure I get more spin on those.

Exactly, I've never thought about that, but now that you mention it I sometimes see the same thing.
:hfive: slow right drift that just hangs in the air and sits down where you hoped?!
max power hyzer flips are a fun shot as well. slight initial turn then locks into a lazer beam that rides straight.
