Metal Flake Max? The only one I have thrown was the exact opposite of a max distance disc. I had a friend that can bomb close to 500' RHBH and he could maybe hit 300' with it.
Well, I'm in Chicagoland (dupage county) so I should play a round with then sometime.
You don't see too many of them on video because outside of distance contests, they don't exactly measure the things. A 450' drive on video probably doesn't look much different than a 325' one does.
I used to throw a Star Max when they first came out, same boat, I doubt I broke 350' with it, but that thing never gave me any drama. That was back in the days where I used to anny flex discs that were too beefy for me too, though.520' uphill with a Max is an absolute blast. I used to throw Champ Maxes quite often. Even on gigantic flex lines I could only get around 350' with them. Great work house driver in the wind though.
I throw 400-475 FH and have never been out driven FH. It happens but not super common.
Words do not really do my grip justice, so here is a picture of it, seriously, try it.
Gave this grip a try yesterday when doing my test drives at the soccer field. Found it to be slightly painful, but that certainly comes from trying a new grip. Didn't really see any added distance. But I'm not poo-pooing this grip. I will try it again, probably after Worlds.
I also favor precision over power, so that makes sense. Grip is tricky, there is no definitive right one, it is all about what works for you.
