This makes me so excited to throw the armor scale I just got! I've thrown it around the yard but can't wait to get out on a tee box as soon as it's done raining!

Agreed. Until they fill the gap, the best thing to do is try to find a Wave that has a relatively high PLH, and as high a weight as possible. My higher-PLH Wave 163g) is more stable than my other two (153g, 173g).

I could probably call it a day for midrange options with my champion panther and big Jerm Mortar combo.

Colorglow rhyno. Everything I was looking for in an OS putter but couldn't find.
Does a CD3 feel similar to a Wave? I've been casually searching for a "slightly more stable Wave" for the last 3 months. Defy was the correct feel but too OS and glideless. I've been bagging a Trespass which gives me the shot shape I want, but the rim is a tad too wide/deep for me to release as consistently as a Wave. Not the worst issue in the world, but it sure would be nice if MVP/Axiom would give us one 21.5mm driver to fill the gap rather than release another handful of giant-rimmed drivers.

DX Teebird! Such a lovely, gently curving flight. But it was removed from the bag and reluctantly relegated to fieldwork duty when I discovered...
...the FD! Like a DX Teebird with even more glide. Definitely my favorite find of the year.
I also discovered the Wave a few months ago. It's the first high-speed driver I've tried that gives me more useful distance than my Valkyries.
I don't have a place for them in my bag, but I really enjoy throwing the JLS and Polaris LS that I picked up.

Where does one aquire an armor scale??
By tripping over one while looking for a Tar Pit Serp haha... I posted an ISO COOL SERPS thread in an exchange page and a guy responded with a whole slew of stuff- but he also had an armor scale and I immediately broke off from the original mission and focused on the scale.
Triple stamped first run and penned 1/10. Not sure if the 10 is the stamp or the plastic run but I'm very pleased to own it in any case!
I've only been playing a year, so technically everything is new to me given the 6-12 month definition. The discs that I've felt improved my game the most have been:
1. Zone. It's the perfect approach disc -- a glideless turd that is impossible to flip, immune to the wind, and super easy to range. Fits my hand much better than a Harp, too, so there's really nothing I know of that could replace it.
2. Wave. It's the most controllable distance driver I've thrown, and believe me when I say I've tried out way too many distance drivers for my own good. This disc allowed me to increase my controllable distance by a solid 30 feet without sacrificing accuracy.
3. Vanish. A super useful and versatile understable complement to the Wave. It can be thrown hard and with air for bombing turnovers or low at 80% for long lazerbeams through the woods. It's steadily taking shots away from a multitude of other discs in my bag.
4. Getaway. It's got such a unique combination of overstability and glide packed into a fast fairway driver. Flies way longer and easier than my Felons and finishes harder/more consistently than my Escapes. Fills a unique spot in my bag and allowed me to start reaching pins that were previously impossible for me to birdie.

Two discs I've added and become staples:
-vultures
-punishers
These two discs have been the perfect OS compliment to the cranks. Been able to really control my shots better than before.

CD3 has a similar rim width but it does not feel like a Wave. It is a good bit more stable, too. I usually throw the CD3 on a slight flex, counting on the fade to bring it back.
In contrast I usually throw the Wave on a hyzerflip line, or flat with some height to turn and come back late.
mongoose for rollers. just crazy flip and glide amazingness.
ion putters in d line like plastic.
old school rocs. had half of my bag filled with them fifteen years ago. it took a lot of sampling of other mids to convince they still work really well.

The only 2 new discs I've tried in the past year have been the Deflector and the Kaxe Z. Of the two, I will say the Kaxe Z stayed in my bag longer, but honestly, mo matter what I try, I just go back to Craves, Clashes, Envies, and Proxies. I just don't need any other discs than those to shoot my best round at any course.

Big Z Machete.
Total beefcake. Think FAF Firebird, but faster. Awesome FH disc for the FH'er that sucks at FH'ing.

P-FD: Don't think I would have ever tried one of these if I hadn't got one in a player's pack. Kinda like a glidey Volt with less fade, which I need sometimes.
Plasma Volt: Like my worked-in Fission Volt, but with more fade, which I need sometimes.
Classic Blend Warden: Another one I got in a player's pack. Better grip than my Lucid ones, but without being floppy like the Soft ones.
Opto-X Sparkle River: That crazy River glide in the only Trilogy plastic I've seen that doesn't beat to flippy in a month. Got my first ace with it
Stuff I tried this year that wasn't good:
Lucid Gummy Convict: Another player's pack special. Who the hell wants a driver that's overstable in normal conditions but acts flippy in a headwind? How does that even happen?
Classic SuperSoft Warden: Like throwing a handful of jello. OOP for a reason
Star Caiman: I had high hopes that this would be a longer Harp. It's nowhere near as reliable.
