^Thank you!

I am about to receive a Proton Axis (thanks MikeM!).

 

[asc349]

Vector: Con, it's basically a Roc. Pro, if you like Rocs, that's a good thing.

Axis: Pro, fast, straight, glide. Con, it takes good form, nose angle sensitive.

Tangent: Pro, line shaper, good turn without being flippy, with a little fade when thrown flat, but holds anny and hyzer well. Con, it's a good all around mid, but can get lost in the shuffle of others that do certain shots better. Axis is longer, Alias is straighter, Theory is less stable. They all play their respective parts better.

Tensor: never thrown

Alias: Pro, very straight, very controllable, more wind resistant than the Axis. Con, basically it's a beat in Envy, and gives very little distance difference to justify carrying both. (but I still do) It's a slightly more HSS, shorter Buzzz.

Theory: Pro, understable yet forgiving. Very workable and will hold lots of lines, but shines on turnover shots and hyzerflips. Con, very few. It is not a fast mid and won't give the same distance as a faster understable like a Tursas, but it's pretty close.

This was a very nice description.

Tensor throwers: how would you describe a Tensor's flight and speed in comparison to other similar discs (Gateway DevilHawk, Zone, DD Suspect, etc)? Just a general "more stable than x/shorter than y/ more glide than z" is what I'm looking for.

I think it is closest to the Suspect. Mine starts to fade a bit quicker than any Suspect I've had. I think it's slightly shorter, but I have never thrown them side by side at full power to test this. I may do it soon just to see. BTW, it kicked my latest Suspect out of the bag because the Suspect was staying too straight at higher power for the shots I was pulling it for.

Suspect has more of the low profile in height and rim depth.

You may want to feel up a tensor before purchasing. A lot of people find it to be a little weird feeling for BH grips.

Tensor=deeper Envy with sharper wing and a stronger fade.

I have felt one before, it's not too uncomfortable for me. I'm mainly going to try it for short forehands, approaches, and flex shots (similar to the Zone/Gator slot), but I don't like how beefy the Zone or Gator is. So I think it'll be fine, but definitely a good point.

That's exactly what I was hoping to hear about it. Thanks guys:thmbup:

Tensor for sure then. It's OS but not like a Zone.

I'm more interested in that popped corn.,

Agreed. Thank you Zen. Seems like out of all of those the Axis/Vector is what I need to lean towards. I like throwing true mids and the others feel almost putter like to me.

 

[bfowler]

Vector: Con, it's basically a Roc. Pro, if you like Rocs, that's a good thing.

Vector is one of my favorite discs and the while it is very much like a Roc the big difference I find it that it stays stable to overstable. All the Rocs I've had quickly lose that late fade.

A Roc3 will keep the fade but for me it starts the fade way way early.

 

[Rogue9]

And if you want a vector without the late fade without seasoning it, then buy an axis.

 

[zendragon]

I threw a 180g KC Pro Roc for awhile that still had some fade, but you're right, the Vector will hold on longer. I just don't really like the feel of Rocs. I did love my Axis, but it just didn't fit between all the other good mids I throw.

 

[Toro71]

I've kind of fallen for a quite flat Eclipse Vector. It really doesn't fade unless I want it to (nose up or powered down.)

On full rips it's very similar to a fresh Eclipse Axis but with more HSS. I'm comfortable throwing it just as hard as I can.

 

[TAFL]

Today I went looking to see if I could find an Electron Atom in a different color than the one I have. I want a red one. Saw red ones in the rack and noticed that one of them was a different sahde of red than the others. Picked it up to find it's a Soft Electron Atom. I'm in love with the feel of the soft Electron! It was a match made in heaven--right color, right weight, and a feel that I love.

Is there any difference in Proton vs. "Metal Flake" Proton?
