Drop the CEs...There is your problem. CE FBs really are speed 9s, where I think the modern Champ FBs are no faster than a TB. The more modern ones are much closer to midrange than the CEs. No FBs since the CEs have been anything like the CEs. Maybe a Neutron plastic FB...
Regarding your last question...Whoever listed the Trident as speed 5 is either not being honest or shouldn't be rating discs. It does have a blunt nose, but a 1.9mm rim that's a 5 speed? BTW, Dan Beto threw the Trident like 550' or something ridiculous, so at a certain speed (Dan's armspeed or one of us into a stiff wind) the Trident gets action like a D driver, which is quite different from a FB.

They list them as a 5 themselves, I didn't believe it either.
This all makes more sense now. I've been wanting to get off of CE for a while now, almost there.
Is the Trident as OS as a FB? Are you throwing the new flat prod run champ FB's?
