What's the point of an over stable mid for headwind shots, really? I assume it is to act like a stable mid right, 250-320ft with a lil fade? Why not throw OS fairway since this HEADWIND is going to take some D off your shot anyways. Same results, 250-320ft with a lil fade.
More control than a fairway driver, on approach shots anyway.
We could debate that, but we could also debate here that plastic is not plastic. If I'm punching an OS mid in a headwind I have to crank more one it, thus exercise some loss of control. If I punch a OS fairway, only need 60-80% of power translating into more control.
I guess the reality is that's the art of the game, playing your shot your way with what you have most the confidence in. Every one will be different.
What's a nice overstable midrange? I throw Buzzzes for every mid range shot, but need something with more fade and less glide
This thread has gotten into a big crazy argument. No one seems to be focused on helping the OP. The OP throws a buzzz for straight midrange shots. So do I. If you want to throw a nice 250-300ft avg stable mid into a 20+mph headwind then you should try a drone (stable) or a demon (overstable). You can throw them hard and level and they will fight the wind straight and finish left without the massive 50ft skip that an OS driver would give you. I use the both a ton here in florida in very windy conditions.
If you get a demon, get the evolution plastic. their cheap plastic will warp badly with one hard shot into a tree.
Good Luck
True, but you're basing it soley on driving with a mid. What about approach shots in windy conditions? OS mids play a key role there.

But to me stable = neutral, like a Comet. A Buzzz is overstable (unless it gets thrashed) and a flat C-MD2 is a tick more overstable than a Z Buzzz.
The Buzzz is not OS. And the Comet is not neutral.
Agreed, and this is one of the big reasons I switched back to Comets from Rocs as my main mid.OS means it has a fade if thrown flat. Stable or Neutral means that a disc will hold the line you put it on.
A Comet, an stable/neutral disc, will hold a hyzer, go straight, and hold an anny. An understable disc will not demonstrate those same properties. This is why lots of people use neutral discs for an anny disc, because it will lock into the line.
Understable discs are intended to use for more of a turnover, where if you throw it flat it will turn on its own. These can also be annyed, like you would a comet, but they are not the same.
The nice thing about a neutral mid is that if thrown on an anny it will be slightly longer and make for big sweeping hyzers/anhyzers. Plus, a neutral disc will beat into an understable disc.
