Anyone have any thoughts on this disc? Seems like it would make a great approach disc.

If I remember correctly, the Blowfly is made from the mold for the Gumbputt. The Blowfly II was made from the mold for the Powerdrive. The Blowfly II has a bit larger diameter and the wing comes to more of a driver-like "V" shape, kinda like an Aero. The Blowfly wing just comes to a big flat blunt edge.What is the real difference between the Blowfly and Blowfly II?
Anybody actually own both of them?
Yeah, what's the point in having a disc that "catches better" if it's a lot harder to hit the basket?For me this was not the cause, my shots were still bouncing out and to top it off, I was less accurate with the floppy disc.
Perfectly said.The Blowfly is one of those "I know a guy who is killer who throws [insert crappy disc here] and cans everything with it" discs. My theory is that the disc is sooooo floppy that you HAVE to put spin on it to get any sort of consistency from it. Old Frisbee guys who are used to throwing with spin can probably figure this disc out and use it for finesse shots, long putts, approaches, etc. So you will run into some one-disc guys out there killing pitch and putt courses with a Blowfly and think "It must be the disc." It's not the disc, it's the guy. Discs like the Blowfly and 86 Softie are great discs in the right hands. Unfortunately for most of us, those hands are not ours. If you are like me and mostly play disc golf without a Frisbee background, the Blowfly is a flippy-floppy-inconsistent POS.

Nope. My girlfriend has a 173.Also, Danny all gumbputts are 150g.
As a funny aside...The Blowfly II is not PDGA approved, at least it wasn't the last time I looked. The Powerdrive is approved, but the the Blowfly II is not. Both the Gumbputt and Blowfly are on the approved disc list.

Seems to work well for me on putts from around 40'-50'. Especially good on elevated and hillside baskets.
