[Mids] understable mids!

[seayhorse]

hi
I realize there is a similar thread here. I read it.
So I too am looking for the more/most understable mid disc. I throw an M4, but am looking for something with a little less backbone. My mid range discs are the Hornet, M2 (which is almost identical to a Fugitive), M4. After playing in the woods yesterday, I am considering adding a more understable mid to that group. I prefer beadless discs.


I am familiar with the Comet, which I find to be very like the M4. I liked the Fuse OK, but it's a bit floatier than I want.

For your FYI, my understable lineup in the bag is
PA4
M4
F7
Heat
Thrasher

I like the F7 and M4, but they both have enough backbone that I have to put some zip on them to flip them up. Then they fade a bit. They work great, but have a narrow sweet spot of power and release angle to get them to sail straight. Something with a little less backbone is what I think I'm looking for. . . I think!

any tips? I'm eyballing the Tursas and the Archer.
thanks in advance

I have a 167 g Tursas in the bag for super flippy mid shots. It's great for hyzerflip to huge turnovers, or tricky standstills, and other powered down stuff. I highly recommend checking out a lighter one like that if you want something super flippy. Also feels great in a fan/power grip and is beadless.

Since you're already using the Heat and Thrasher, I'd suggest going with the Archer.

If you want a fliptaskic mid, go with a DX Wolf....but it probably won't be useful.

The Stari is closer to M4 speed, whilst the Archer is a tweener disc, almost fairway driver speed.

I'm a big Tursas fan for that slot. I've thrown them in VIP, Tournament, and Recycled plastics and all are great. The flatter ones are the most flippy in my experience, and the dome seems to affect stability significantly more than plastic type.

Tursas and Fuse are like 1A and 1B. They can be really similar. If I wanted a less floaty, beadless Fuse I'd probably try the Claymore, Evidence, and Theory.

The new DD Patrol is really flippy

Please try Prodiscus STARi. Nice flyer!

 

[Jolt]

I have thrown the Tursas, Meteor, Warrant, Archer for that slot. . .i now throw the STARi

The Archer is fun. .

 

[Grippenripp]

Meteor, stingray, wolf is the most flippy(wouldn't recommend it) a worn Roc type disc would be my mid of choice.

 

[Keller]

DX Stingray
Manta
Archer
Stratus

I absolutely love my M4s. My go-to for one disc rounds. I use 400G for all my understable mid shots. I have one that's about 4 years old that weeeelllllllll seasoned and it super understable, then fresh ones that get most shots. If you're a fan of the M4, used to the feel, but want something a little more understable, grab a 200S M4 and throw it in the woods for a couple rounds (or in a parking lot for 15 minutes) That way you still have a disc that has the familiar feel in your hand, you know how it flies, but it comes out a bit more understable.

This is such a useful disc. Powers down just fine,and can be sneaky long for those with no power forehand. More consistent than Meteors, but I really love Meteors as well.

 

[kinger]

Meteor or Stratus

If you don't mind DX, a DX Stingray around 170g is really nice.

If you would prefer premium plastic, a lighter weight Tursas is a really impressive mid - fast and understable, with enough fade to keep things in the fairway.

I've most recently landed on the Vertex, which is basically a faster Magic.

Speaking of US putters, a Mirage is sneaky long for a putter and terrifically understable and controllable, just not as long as a typical US mid.

 

[elmexdela]

meteor had a "hit point" which takes higher speed to flip it over and once you flip it there is no way it is going to come back if you dont flip it it just rides straight to gentle fade

 

[fishballer06]

I'm surprised I haven't seen the Warden mentioned yet. The Witness is also a good choice in the more fairway style disc.

 

[RocBottom]

The DD Warrant is really good, but sometimes I feel like I can manipulate and control a Comet or a beat Roc better. Just cycle the M4 if you like it so much.

 

[Moose33]

Tursus is good, keep an eye on the Piwakawaka also.

If you are looking for flippy try a Kite I haven't tried to throw them since they first came out so I don't know if the mold has changed or not but it was easily the flippiest disc I had ever tried to throw.
