Q of the D: considering super fast, wide-rimmed distance drivers like Nuke and Force, choose your #1 opinion:
I love them!
PDGA should allow wider -- thus faster -- rims
Not a fan, too difficult to control
Not a fan, too difficult to grip
I use them occasionally, they're ok.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Speculation:
A major complaint from a good number of players is that the Nuke rim size is too big and uncomfortable to grip.
(I used to think this until I found a very beat ESP Nuke at PIAS. It's a hyzer-flip bomb machine, but you knew that.)
I've often thought Discraft should / will go after Innova's Destroyer for its combination of speed, distance, throwability, and (most importantly?) rim / grip size.
Of course, Force is a speed 12, but is not backhand "throwable" by most Ams and people not named Nate Doss, especially in Z plastic.
A throwable speed 12 driver would fill the speed / distance gap between Surge (11) and Nuke (13). They won't call it Nuke Jr., but that's kind of the idea, I would imagine. Most likely, they'll call it Warhead, Rocket, Bomb, Bomb, Bomber, etc. to fit with Nuke.
It's only a matter of time.. Maybe..
