Agreed. The Sting IS flippy, but definitely not uselessly so.

The Sting looks like it would be the hardest disc in a cycle to lose. The one that explodes and breaks your heart.

This is the perfect explanation...it's that beat stable fairway slot out of the box (more or less).

No, Innova has the flippest disc on the market in the Fairway Category, Archangel being so far to the right it is not funny and with more experienced players it can only be used down wind. Yeah I think the CCDG Who were doing the Commentary for the tournament made a mistake.

Or if you used the Pre Berry S. Leopards, how they had a tight S/flex shot right out of the bag. At least from what I have seen online from people throwing the disc.

Is it any different from the Archer?

I can't talk from personal experience, but Discraft's flight charts say that the Sting is slightly more stable than the Archer.

I feel the Archer is a more understable Squall, maybe a touch slower. I am bagging both.
If I have a chance later, I will photo a PLH comparison.

Haven't thtown mine much, but my flat, max weight Z is pretty straight on a hyzer release. It will turn all the way on a fairly hard rip thrown flat.
MJ was throwing a swirly ESP, he laid down a nice roller with it too.

I probably should experiment around with some...mine are lighter Big Z, 167-169g range. I wonder if the new, stiff ESP might be the most "OS" for this mold.
As ace race discs, the archer and hornet had similar rims, while the sting felt like the zombee: a flatter and more pronounced wing

Still not as flippy as the Franklin Albatross/Sparrow.

Just ordered a 172gr Big-Z.
We'll see how it goes. Maybe it will take the place of my beat to death DX Gazelle, seeing as I can't seem to find DX Gazelles anymore, it might work.

I think you will be pleased. It really fills that beat in fairway driver role and can be very versatile if you like to throw discs with hyzer.

I hope so. I really like FH Hyzer flipping understable stuff down tunnels too.
Was going to try an ESP, but I'm afraid if I like it, Discraft won't run anymore and will just be another disc I can't get, so. . .Big-Z it is!

ESP is in regular production now. I'm not sure what the concern is.

Do you know if they will run the Surge anymore?
