tried a couple
I tried a couple of blizzard Bosses over the weekend. The local shop was nearly sold out and completely picked over, so I got what was left: a 137 Boss and a 150 Boss. The only Wraith they had was a 150 and it was crazy domey. They had one Katana left, but the wing had too many lines in it from the bubbles to pass my smell test for a new disc. That, and I've given up on the Katana for being too sensitive to nose angle.
Both Bosses had bubbles throughout the rim and flight plate. I brought them both out to warmup before our Saturday morning handicap round and let everyone who was interested give them a few throws. The 150 Boss was as stable as a max weight non-blizzard Boss, no stand up from anyone there, even the longer arm guys. It was very gently used, so it (only?) cost me $13. The previous owner, who I know, went in and bought a bunch, tried them out, and brought them all back. The 137 Boss flipped up a bit, and for a few folks added significant distance, but didn't outperform my usual drives by much. At the end of the day, neither disc was amazing to me, and certainly not enough to change my game. Plus when I followed either one with a 170-175g disc, my release timing was way off. It took some concentration to straighten that out. I don't need those kinds of problems.
I bought the 137 Boss new for $15 and sold it on the spot for $12 to one of my buddies who liked it. I'll probably unload the 150 locally for $10 once I find a buyer. [Please don't PM me telling me you want a deal. I don't want to deal with shipping it. I want to sell it locally and get cash. The marketplace is great, but I don't have the time to deal with it for one disc. Thanks.]
When I went into the store, I was hoping for a couple of 139 Wraiths for long hyzer flips on a local course with lots of water, since they will float. I'll probably just order one online for now, whenever I can do so, and wait to see how it performs before trying to stock up.
