If this were a true Prerubing, the links would have come in the form of the thread titles. We all know how 'Rube does his thing.
Trident is like the Swiss Army Knife of my bag. OS mid, overhand shots, get-out-of-trouble flicks, big skips. Super underrated. Get one and fall in love.

I actually carry a FLX Drone for one purpose; really short sky hyzers that I want to spike straight into the ground and just stop. Other than that, as others have said, you can use a Wasp or other less-OS mid/fairway to do what you need in the wind, IMO a Drone takes a little bit more power for longer shots into the wind, although if you're really unsure a Drone is nice to have just in case.

FLX Drones are awesome. Yes they are unmatched in the wind. But to me it is a very versatile disc...they are superb for mid range s shots, side arm approaches, and fan gripped for quick short left turns. It is also my go to disc for super accurate shots in the 175-250ft range. Predictability is its virtue.
To the OP: I carry a FLX Drone for the many purposes stated above. You can throw the thing in a 30mph wind if you want to. Awesome for spike hyzers that stick. Get one. A heavy one. If you don't like it, it's super easy to trade or sell.

I also picked up a zone last summer and haved liked it ever since . It is really overstable but I could throw it in the wind too if you throw it hard and flat enough it will have a nice hyzer line on it . Few of us here in minnesota would use them for long putts as well .

onemilemore knows what's up!
I'm like McGuyver on the course.....give me a Trident, birdie bag, pack of gum, Opto Pure and a RC Cola and I'll shoot under par!
I used to love my Drone, and still feel fondly enough about it to keep it. I use a GL Pain for those shots though. Not as OS, but a great disc that I trust on just about any line. I haven't tried sidearming a Roc3 yet, but the one I have is slightly flippy and doesn't fly like my Pain. Or Drone.
wait, what?

CE Viper. Get on my level.
I like the Zone. Honestly, it fits my bag better than a overstable true midrange. I only use the Zone when I need a crazy hook, if I want to throw a short spike hyzer, or if there's a headwind and I can't use my putter. Honestly, my Buzzz works really well in the wind (not sure why people hate on it for that), so I don't really need an overstable disc at that range. Just put some hyzer on it, and I'm good to go.

To be honest, I've never thrown a Gator, but it's hard to ignore Discraft when it comes to midranges.

Discraft has a solid mid-range lineup. I used to have a Hornet which has similar OS as a Drone with much better glide. I decided a Wasp has all the OS I need.

Ive been an Innova guy FOREVER and recently added a Zone and a Buzz to the bag. The Zone will stay, not so sure about the buzz. Open your mind and stop being a fanboy on the internet.

The Demon by gateway is my choice. Bought 3 drones did not like them. Bought a Demon and love it. I think it fights the wind better, and feels better in the hand. E HPP plastic is pretty good. Havnt thrown the baseline plastic.

The Gator is crap compared to a Drone IMO....and dont get me wrong, I am an Innova lover to the core...but the Gator is way too unpredictable. The Drone will NEVER flip over or accidentally go straight.
However, I have been using the Zone more and more over the Drone. The Zone has way less Glide so I rarely have to worry about throwing it past target.
