Local Prodigy fanboi checking in!
D1 s can be wildly inconsistent. My 400g D1 with dome feels like 13 5 -1 2, my fiend has a 13 3 0 4 meathook (almost as OS as his Groove
)
Yeah, the flat tops are wicked OS. However, if you find a pop-top or domey D1, they fly much more stable. (not overstable)
I typically stick to D2s, but just received a couple D1s from a friend last week and each disc is very different. The flat top feels like a super Nuke OS. About a 12/4/0/4. Even in strong headwinds yesterday with a good anhyzer release, it absolutely
would not turn over! Good for windy days and utility, I guess, but I already have X1s for that and prefer the feel of the X1.
While throwing the domey D1 this weekend, I found it flies almost exactly like my D2s. Very good wind-fighter, good distance, solid glide, very mild turn, great distance. I'd put it at 13/4/-.5/2.5 I was able to put it just past a 400' basket with some "umph" behind it, but it's a little harder to put the speed behind than my D2s. I'm still a little weak from a back surgery earlier this year so I only really throw 5-6 max power distance throws a round and have been preferring my Gyrm, CD2s, and PDs for an easier distance shot. With power and the
right D1, it can be a very useful driver (see all the Prodigy Pros throwing them) But I've found D2s to be more consistent and have the flight I'm looking for.
