Overstable score!

Shun the frumious Bandersnatch!
Just Ordered Two Archon Discs through Gotta Go Gotta Throw, A Star and Champion at the weight I want. Will repost the discs when I get them.

Weight set is 170-172 grams, the set I want. I hope these Disc for me are decently further flying Valkyrie like discs or if not I give them to somebody for a present.

Archons are very underrated discs. Not the best gliders in the world, but they fly well. I've got a couple of Star Archons and a Champ Archon around here somewhere; maybe I'll put one in the bag for a round...

What is the Archon's weight?
I like 170-172 grams max for Drivers under 12+ speed as well as OS discs under 11+ speed. This includes Drivers that have max weight at or near 180 grams like the Stalker in Z that I use.
With midrange I like 174-176 grams or ~175 grams.
Putting putters are Max weight, driving putters if I used a putter is 5 grams off max like all other discs.

This model assumes the midrange is a 180 Gram max type diameter otherwise the molds are like a driver at 170-172 grams.

No thanks as weight is higher then I like for drivers, but good for giving those who use the mold or might, first chance.

I might be interested in trying that Archon out. I have been wanting to see how one might work out in a Wraith cycle.
The Chief seems like a putter I would like, shallow, flat, but not much Gateway sellers in Canada so it will have to wait.
Reach out to them directly. They have great customer service. I'm sure they can get some out to you.
I'll probably do someday but with the exchange rate, shipping, sometime custom taxes, I don't order often from USA.

I have thought for a very long time that a Voodoo with the Sun logo from the Godsmack album with the song Vooodoo would sell very well just put Voodoo instead of Godsmack on the Sun stamp to avoid lawsuit.

discs say they have a 5 on the glide though I suspect that is more a 4 like a Valkyrie.
They are banana yellow Star 171 grams with 2 oops mini spots Where extra color turned those small freckles orange, this disc is about same color as my Star Valkyrie from 2009 Icebowl but with black Innova logo an white Archon top part, not all black like my Star Valkyrie.
The Champion pink 172 grams is with the full rainbow foil stamp that you can see all the colors when not shining in the light.
Both of the discs do feel like wide rim Valkyrie discs, at least how I would make a wider rim Valkyrie. Both are lower domed not flat top with the Star disc though.

Just came in today.
Also bought but not pictured, a bunch of Prodigy 350G Pa2's
But, as it goes.
Swan 2 - BT Medium, mostly for my straight drives or straight upshots. Love the Swan 2. Just haven't been able to snag it in a more premium plaatic. I do like how i don't get much ground play from them though.
3 Harps - BT Medium, Tournament Burst and VIP. Liking them so far, the BT Medium seems to hold its stability better in a headwind, but it is puddle topped heavily.
Buzzz SS - Was expecting more of a hyzer flip disc but never got the chance to try it without a 30km/h tailwind.
2 Latitude 64 XXX - Plan on using these as utility discs, pretty overstable, handle a stiff headwind really well.
2 Vultures - 1 TI, 1 Sexy Pearly Z. Bought them to compare to my Anax's. I feel like they fly like a seasoned Anax, so I'm very happy with that.
Next week, probably more unnecessary discs lol
