The CD3/PDX combo is great for me. These discs cover distance lines beyond what I can hit with my FD's. I have a Konopiste Open C-Line that is great for hyzer flips and anhyzers, and an S-Line that has been in the bag for a while now and is just starting to fly straight/stable. I pair those with an S-Line PDX that is for the same shots as the CD3, but I know won't turn over. CD3's and PDX booted PDs from my bag.

Good to know, if nothing else Wraiths can be pretty sexy even as stock.
My OS pop-top is a Swirly, got myself a flat pink one for comparison but its practically storm here so no clean flights for comparison...

I had but did not throw a penned c-cd3, the older penned c-cd3 are straight up understable, not far from a longer star Roadrunner.
The embossed one had higher PLH than my Swirlies and they're beef.
Oh wow. That's a ton of variation. I might just stick with S-lines then.

DD certainly isn't. cd3 is a Wraith. It's not like a Wraith. It's a Wraith. Sorry.

I was quite sure that I read that the DD is an overstable Wraith and the CD3 is using a Krait rim or something...

DD has the anhyzer top. Krait has the biggest bump of any of the convex rimmed drivers.

CD3 is a Beast top, thats from the horses mouth.

Doesnt make the statement untrue

Exactly.
CD3's official measurements are different than a Wraith's, it feels different in the hand, and it generally flies with significantly less stability than most Wraiths. It's a good complement to a Wraith, but it is certainly not identical to one. Blindfold me and hand me a Wraith and CD3, and I can tell you which one is which.

Bump to this post.
I just ordered an S-line CD3 to help out Colton and Kona with their fundraising. I have never looked into these, or have any idea how they fly. I asked him for a comparison in the Innova lineup and he said "straighter wraith".
Some of the latest threads on this post make it sound as if it was way less stable than a Wraith. Anyone who has experience with this mold how do you think it flies?
Currently the "long driver" category for me is a pop-top S-TD, PD, and Culverin all three of those discs average around 350-370 comfortably, and when needed, can be pushed to around 400ft (TD/Culverin, not the PD).

Straighter Wraith is a pretty fair generality. It also flies a bit slower IMO. The rim is clearly a bit narrower than a Wraith, even though they are both classified as Speed 11. Most Wraiths I've thrown have been domier than my CD3's, too. I'm guessing you will get a similar flight shape as your culverins, just a bit longer.

Hopefully you are correct! The Culverin has been a staple in the bag since release and has probably one of my favorite shot shapes, a little extra distance would be sweet! I will report back when I get my hands on it and am able to try it out.
