I don't think it is. Magnet is actually one of the lower rim depths in the Discraft lineup, with the Zone and Ringer being the only lower ones. Both of those I like for my style of approach.
If you prefer the slower, loftier approach, and it's just the sharpness of the bottom that is bothering you, you might prefer the APX's bead, over the microbead-flashing of the Magnet.
Okay, thanks.

I think you might like the Roach...it at least feels lower profile than the Magnet, but has a similar flight, especially in Jawbreaker.
Hey guys, does anybody know if the Cryztal Ledgestone zones were flat or puddle topped, or if they had a little dome to em? Looking at getting another Zone and want to avoid anything that could be domey.
Also, anybody gotten their hands on the new 2019 ledgestone sparkle zones to know how they feel?

Do domey Zones actually exist?
I asked the same question on here before and was warned that they do in fact exist, so now I have been wary about buying them online without asking first.

Someone has to have proof of this abomination, for me to believe it.
Got a pre-swirly ESP online that wasn't poptop but had a mild dome. I'd guesstimate about 98.5% of Zones are flat or puddle.

Planning on a the 2019 Ledgestone once I find a dark enough purple...
From what I saw online, the Cryztal Ledgestone were mostly puddle topped. OTBdiscs and DiscBaron list the profile of each individual discs (no Cryztal Ledgestone's left though.)
I had a beautiful, dark purple, first production run ZFLX with green shimmer in it, and it had a decent dome. Only one I've seen though. And from my searches on line, they seem to be a rarity.
I have lots of Zones in various plastics. 98.5% vary from puddle topped to a tiny bit of dome. The big exceptions are the 2018 ESP Supercolor ones with the Brian Allen mechazombie (my term for it) art. Those all have much more dome than the average Zone.

The PDGA has one:
Sorry...
I have seen other white ones in Z online, but my usual stops seem to be out of it right now.

DGA thread is typically very slow so I'll ask here:
I currently throw the hurricane for my main distance driver but looking for something a bit slower. How does the Rogue or Surge compare stability wise? For reference, I'm throwing mainly in the 375'-400' range with the hurricane. Just looking for something a tick slower so it's a little easier to get up to speed. I threw a surge years ago, and I remember it being more of an S-turn type flight (think slower nuke), and I'm looking for something that has a milder curve so I can hyzer flip it a bit without a huge fade.

My first zone was a pre swirly esp and it wasn't domey as such, but the area around the hotstamp had 'popped'. So it had a weird off centre dome and perfectly flat outside of the hotstamp.
Still an awesome disc.

I would try the undertow in SP. It was more along the lines of that type of shot. The Proline was too flippy for me, but the SP started nice and straight and beat nice turnover. I always felt the Undertow was the best neutral flying disc of the two companies and the Avenger SS the better US disc.
I have also heard good things about the Heat and Thrasher for that type of slot too.

I have an older ESP zone that is like this. Flat to almost thumbtrack along the rim, but then a pop up dome in the middle. It's my favorite zone. It actually flies very similar to a pro d zone, very straight and longer than fresh ESP, but then a sudden dumpy fade. It didn't start out that way, but has developed the shape over time.My first zone was a pre swirly esp and it wasn't domey as such, but the area around the hotstamp had 'popped'.

Don't overlook domey zones. They cover that OS midrange slot really well.
