Something about the Ti plastic just doesn't feel right to me. Too stiff and too slick to be of any use. However, I would gladly try a Ti Zone.
I agree with this. I love the Drone but I'm not so sure about Ti. Not grippy enough for me. I'd throw one if I won it or got a good deal on one.
I could personally care less about the drone itself in any plastic. Its got a very specific use (as due all other mids in its category) and its very situational. I rarely used it, and i dont really use my M1 now. OS mids arent a hue part of my game. But i thought it was newsworthy and i bet theyll look nice :/

How long did you use yours? Knowing that Gold Line has a reputation of being slick when new, I wonder if Ti is the same way.

I have a Wasp I rarely use, a Force that I don't use at all and a Stalker that I used with some regularity but eventually put away and replaced with a Z. They are nice to look at but just don' t feel right.

I am not a huge fan of the plastic but used my raspberry Ti Wasp for a while before going ADD on the newest crop of Stable Midranges that have released recently. I like it well enough but still prefer my pearly Z flatties. I never spent enough time to see how it would age though. I will say the raspberries are the closest Wasps I've found that fly like the pearlies though.
I absolutely feel your pain on the feel. I tried a Stalker and Buzzz too when they were released but just never clicked with them. The fact that their colors are so bland doesn't help that. If I could've easily found them when I didn't hit a fairway, I probably would've spent some more time with them. Thanks for the input. I was hoping to hear that they might "grip up" with a little use.
I'm waiting on a Ti Flick..... but yes the drone is a step in the right direction.

The Ti does season in nicely and loses some of the slickness. I went to the Ti Wasps because I was tired of trying to hunt around for the good ol' flat tops. It was too much of a hassle to find them. I have found that I put my thumb on the EMac signature because it does allow for some extra texture on the grip.
Once they do season in, they glide much better than the Z's. To me, once they beat in some, they fly closer to the good X Wasps, where you can shape lots of lines, holds the HSS pretty well, and just loses a touch of fade.
The flat ones I've found are fantastic for FH rollers. For whatever reason, they seem to balance very well.
Lots of options out there in the slightly OS category of discs, so you can't really go wrong, but the Ti allows me to rotate discs better than the Z. Z is just so darn strong that it takes to long to replace a perfectly seasoned one.

Thank you. If I go back to Wasp (highly likely), I'll be working on the Raspberry Ti some more. I had the same pearly Z in the bag for almost four years it seems, and it's just now beaten to straight. That's a lot of work indeed!
I too carry an old, seasoned pearly Z wasp (been in the bag since 08 or 09??) and match it with a new raspberry Ti that is so flat it's actually a touch saggy in the flight plate. I really like the Raspberry. It's very stable and does what a good, new wasp should. I can't wait to season it in a bit.
The raspberries are interesting in that they are not pearly, and are a bit gummier / softer than any pearly run. I would actually like to see more of this type of plastic, but I know that the swirly pearly is the desired look of Ti.
More on topic; while I am pretty excited about Ti Drones... I don't think I will EVER break in my Z Drone enough to need a Ti.

Apparently the TI drones didn't happen. My buddy down there was gonna pick one up for me. Apparently (discraft)? Didn't bring them. So no TI Drones....

Maybe they'll bring them out tomorrow? I throw a Trident now, but definitely wouldn't mind having one of these beef machines.

If they did this, I might become a crazy glass eyed Discraft fanboy.
