Instead of just asking people to tell everyone their favorites, it just seemed better to see some lists. Here is my list of drivers(let's not get too picky, anything not a mid/putter qualifies) I've tried out ranked by overstability. I'm sure there are lots I haven't tried yet, so feel free to share your list and tell us all why.

1.) Nuke OS
2.) XXX
3.) Flick
4.) Max
5.) Whippet
6.) Xcaliber
7.) Predator
8.) Firebird
9.) D1
10.) Force
 
10 discs is too many for me to think of. I just use Tsunamis, and I love them. Always straight with fade. Wind is irrelevant.
 
This is ranked by how overstable?

What about the Ape?
 
Nuke OS or a Flick IMO. I FH'ed a flick yesterday into a pretty beefy headwind and it pulled right out of it. I think I heard it laughing at me as it fell to earth.:|

Never tried one. I'm not saying my list is "right", I'm just asking everybody to list the drivers they've actually tried. Not what somebody else says or what is stamped on the disc, but which ones are the most overstable that YOU'VE thrown. And now that I mention it, I totally forgot the Halo I tried, it was crazy overstable and would bump the force out of the top 10.
 
A Glow Flat top Firebird is the most overstable thing I've ever thrown. Only disc on the list above I haven't tossed is a XXX. The rest don't come close
 
Champ Ape has the same stability as a Nuke OS, put it up there. The new run Shocks are more stable than both champion firebirds I own. The whippet is a mid-range IMO. X-Caliber may seem to be OS due to it's flight numbers, but they aren't very difficult to flip for someone with good power, I would take them off the list.

A new flat 12x firebird would be #1 on my list then the os then a max. I've thrown most of the other ones on your list and none were a consistently overstable as those 3. Whippets are pretty os just not as consistent for me.
 
I would put the Whippet and Firebird much higher on the list. The Firebird is definitely beefier than the Predator. I'd put both higher on the list than the Flick too.
 
The blitz could probably find a spot up there. The Giant DEFINITELY needs to be up there in the top 3 if not number 1.

First of all, no list is correct. No one here will have been able to throw enough OS molds enough times to fairly distinguish between them.

Secondly, the speed of a disc can have a big impact. Wider rims require a higher flight speed. Throw them too slow and they appear to fly more overstable than they really are.

That said, I can't resist the urge to put together my own list, so here goes:

1. Z Nuke OS
2. Champ Ape
3. CE Whippet
4. Z Flick
5. Champ Firebird
6. Champ XCaliber
7. Opto Trident
8. Z Force
9. C-PD2
10. C-PD

I'll probably change my mind on some of these later, but that's what I'm sticking with for now.

Thanks for actually making a list. My Champ Xcal flipped over on a flat release and went OB into a 25mph wind yesterday. So part of all this is me seeking out a new ridiculous conditions headwind driver that sits in my trunk waiting for crazy windy days.
 
I've never seen a firebird come close to a max weight champ ape or a westside Giant. 20+ years playing combined between you 2 and you haven't tried anything more OS than a 12x FB?
 
TIL: some DGCR members can't or won't count to 10. Even when you say

They still just tell you their favorite. :doh:

Priceless.:clap:
 
flat 12 times firebird, as others have said is just crazy overstable.
