[Discraft] Nuke OS = Awesome
- Thread starter ClarkFTW
- Start date
Sorry to thread drift, but does anybody know if the Nuke OS is the same mold as the Sparkle Nuke+ Proto from Worlds last year?
Now to stay on topic, I haven't bought one yet. I don't think I will since I have some Z Nukes that are stable enough to satisfy my needs for the foreseeable future. What do you think is so amazing about it?

Yea really why so awesome?
Well i'm a fan of overstable discs. The Nuke OS is exactly what is said overstable i can rip as hard as i want into it and i know it won't turnover. With the regular nuke i couldn't do that i would rip into as flat as i could and it would flip on me. I would even try to put a little hyzer on the regular nuke and it would still flip on me. With the nuke os i will even try to throw anhyzer on it and it will level out pretty quick. It's an overall really useful disc for me. I'm a right hand forehand player that can rip a disc 450' on a long open flat hole.

not the same: nuke+ was beaded (I think?) and the OS is probably a big wing scoop
a nuke vs OS vs SS profile pic would be fun

Interesting. I'm 6'6" with pretty large hands and I find the Nuke extremely uncomfortable to FH with how wide the rim is. That's a pretty impressive toss.
If I tried to throw this with my noodle arm, it would probably hook so hard that it would return to where I threw it from.
I find that the rim is ok but i don't use the Nuke for super long shots. The disc i use for my longest is a star boss or katana. I can get 450' pretty consistently but i've gotten around 470' once but that was with a slight down hill.

Nuke OS
I wonder if its more OS than an Ape ora PD2? I have an Ape mostly for throws I need to go about 300+ and then turn right without fail. Basically a utility disc for me as I cant push it out past 325.

Picked up 2 yesterday. So far, they are exactly what I was hoping for. These things are sick overstable.
I read a post jokingly stating that they could take the place of Forces in the bag. I think not. I flex my Forces in no wind. Not these. They are rated 2.2 but feel more like 2.5. I can't see ever getting the distance I get from Forces from these OS'. They fall out way to hard.
For me at least, these will be for headwinds and hyzers. I will probably only carry one as a specialty disc, and I may not throw it often, but I think it already made my bag. It's nice to have at least one high speed driver that you can't break/flip in even the strongest of headwinds.

Sounds a lot like the C-PD2.

I use my CFR Glo Destroyer for this shot, and I can't imagine needing anything more stable at that speed (it is more stable than any XCal I've ever thrown). TBH though, I do tend to have at least a bit of hyzer on almost everything I throw, so that probably means something.
Was hoping to pick a couple of these up today but I will have to wait until next week as Wright Life is not getting them in until then.
Wow. Are we talking more overstable than a domey Z Force, or a flat beat one? I've thrown some mean Forces. I can't imagine needing a more overstable fast disc.
