[Question] Best Overstable Midranges You've Thrown

[tylerc]

are we the same person?

I would have to say no, not to my knowledge but potentially

 

[Disc Fiend]

Drone.

 

[mojorisin35]

Try a yikun Yao seriously fun os disc.

 

[DannyThunders]

Roc is my favorite o/s mid, Roc3 is more straight stable not overstable or id pick that

 

[Kodachrome]

big fan of the vector here, even though i don't really have to use it much. very long; straight with fade. workable. the other i really enjoyed was the Pain by lat 64. not as long, but i still dug it.

beaded, though.

oh, and yeah - MVP is pretty durable. i don't currently throw a lot of their stuff, but i have thrown a lot of their lineup and that's one thing you definitely can't fault them on.

I got stuck on the shark3. No real reason, just did. Tried roc, roc3, hornet, wasp, m3, mace, warship, drone, zone (ok, like the zone but its a very os tweener).

SHARK3 You will not be disappointed. Extremely torque resistant. Flies straight as a string with a healthy fade at the end. Seriously underrated disc.

is the shark3 more overstable than wasp and/or roc3 ?
i have read both ways when compared to the roc3

 

[arodsteezy]

It certainly is in 175 and above. As they get lower in weight they have less and less LSS. It edges out the wasp in stability by a small margin. Not hornet-like though. It's basically perfectly between those discs in terms of stability.

I find the crystal drone to be fantastic better grip than a z drone and tends to also be a hair less over stable. I also recommend the hornet nice flat profile

Verdict, Suspect, or Opto Mace max weight. The Suspect is shorter and all hog. The verdict is a substantially longer version of the Suspect. The Opto Mace is OS, but workable, you can flex it a little and shape some really cool shots. Suspect and Verdict are beadless

 

[crater77]

Suspect.

 

[ThrowinGhost]

Not really a midrange, more of a tweener, but I couldn't live without my champ viper. If I rip on it I can get 300 and still have a hard fade on the end, but it is great for short skips, sweeping hyzers, and I can even force it over and have it come back at the end. I also love it because it tends to settle when it hits unless I try to make it skip

 

[Qikly]

Just to expand a bit on the Suspect recommendations, as I've been recently testing one out myself:

The disc is awesomely HSS. It's got a nice healthy predictable fade, but it's not a meathook. The intense HSS seems to limit line shaping abilities a bit, at least in my presently-unfamiliar hands, but upon first blush this disc is probably the most consistent, easy-to-throw midrange I've ever tried out. I really fell head over heels for it after picking one up last week.

Vector has a bead but for me releases and feels way better than a Roc. If I need more OS than the Vector I go with the Viper, pretty sweet old school large diameter slow fairway driver. Never leave home without one sir.

I carry a CE Viper, so dependable.

Also, it's practically a midrange; they're so damn overstable you can't throw them more than like 300 anyway.

Right, before getting a star Viper I had a dx and that thing was still beefy as hell. Try a dx Viper and see if you like it.

 

[bobmcnelly]

Pigs! If you want to consider them a mid. Otherwise gators are great!

I used to throw DX Vipers but I got tired of having to constantly replace them.

They're a lot more useful than the CE/Star ones, much more manageable and you can do a lot of lines with them. I just only use mine for super overstable shots and headwind shots. I let my Rocs and other fairways do the shots a DX Viper could.

I'm really liking the Demon right now, but it is actually pretty long for a mid. So is the M1. I normally bag the M1 and the Tensor (Tensor is quite a bit shorter than an M1) but this winter am trying out the Demon, Drone, M1 and Gator to see who wins.

 

[SteezeOG]

In no order

Drone, Verdict, Suspect, flat top KC Pro Roc, and Wasp.

 

[Broken Shoulder]

How does the M1 compare to the KC Pro ROC? I'm looking for more HSS and something I can throw more confidently into a headwind.
