Just played my first ever, one disc round. My disc of choice was the Tangent. It was breezy, with winds at around 10-15 mph. Playing a one disc round was a pretty fun experience. I fully realized that you really only need a few discs to play this game.
Here are my findings on the Tangent:
It putts really well. I was hitting all my usual putts, and barely even missed my Ion. Even though it's a mid, it has a very putter like feel.
It is, as my brother in law said tonight, a "heat seeker." On my better throws, it was very straight, with just a smidge of turn at around 200 feet.
It'll handle any line. Hyzers - no prob. Straight - like a dream. Annys - "Easy peasy, yep and easy." (1000 interwebz if you know what movie that's from)
For being a stable/understable disc, it handled the wind well. I never play in the wind, so it affects me more than others, but the disc itself was not the problem. I did have a couple clean throws into the headwind, and it held the line fine.
It has no glide, IF, you don't give it snap. I said in a Comet thread, that the Comet "loves to fly." The Tangent does not. I found that it was anything but effortless to throw. On the couple of throws I got good snap on, it was like the disc turned itself on, and flew completely differently. I, personally don't have good snap, so I struggled a bit to get good distance out of it. My max throw today was probably around 250.
Like its older cousin, the Comet, it shows form flaws well. On a clean throw, it holds the line perfectly. On a wrist rolled throw, it'll let you know about it in a hurry. I had a few of those today also.
All in all, the Tangent is what everyone has said it to be. I would gladly play another round with only this disc. I left alot of throws on the course today, and I'm eager to get them back.
