Been a while since I carried a Buzzz. Is this the same profile?

Looks very similar. Im actually excited by this. A cool way to avoid the hype train and still throw a Buzzz.
Imma order one...its settled

I just played my first round with my Rift, and it's pretty great. The beadless, smooth bottom and shallowish depth make it very comfortable in the hand. Very straight, handles power well, good glide. My 177+g Rift flies alot like my seasoned 170g Aftershock. The Rift is faster with more glide, and what surprised me most was how much better it was to flick than the Aftershock. Halfway into my round I told myself they were too similar to knock out my Aftershock, but now I'm not so sure, especially with how well I can flick it.
Dgcenter has them cheapest. Infinite has the prettiest.

So, Buzzzz or Buzzzz SS?

Fairly Buzzz-ish but it also reminds me of a Panther, so the flight may be between the Buzzz and the Panther.
Looking at that profile makes me think less beefy Buzzz.

aftershock is my guess. looks domier than most discraft mids, and I doubt they'd use a comet top.

Why do you doubt?

Comets are usually super domey. Even as a long time comet thrower, I don't particularly like that much dome on my discs. I prefer the shape of the 2018 MJs, high shoulder/flatter top.

Sounds a lot like a slightly worn aftershock? I couldn't even keep the aftershock in my lineup simply because it didn't have enough fade for that slot, for me

Its a Buzzz replica imo. I threw a buzzz for close to 10 years. This is interchangeable.
Get the nose up, it will fade early. Thrown flat, it will hold any line and fade at the end. Even a long forehand anny held a perfect line the whole way.
Its a point and shoot midrange.
More testing this weekend at circle c and roy g

I've yet to hear of an SP Rift. What plastics have you tried the Rift in? There are color glows that are supposed to be a tick more overstable than the Proline, but I find my First Flight Proline to be pretty close to a Buzzz already.
