Drone vs Pig

[_.-Dut-._]

I currently throw a Pro Pig but it has lost all its stability at this point. Was planning to replace it with another Pig but am intrigued by the Drone since it comes in ESP plastic.


From my limited touches with a drone it seems to be the same as a pig just longer range. Has anyone else thrown both? Your experiences with it?

Also how durable is the ESP plastic in comparison to Innovas Pro plastic.

Thanks

Longer than a pig, but more overstable due to the nature of the disc.

The pig is really overstable for a putter, the drone is really overstable for a midrange/short fairway driver.

Isent the Drone a mid and the pig a putter?

The pig is a putter- but it can handle more force than many mids! I love my pig, and I never put with it.

You should get a Zone instead of a Drone. The Drone is much longer than the pig whereas the Zone, which comes in ESP, is a putter like the Pig

i agree zone and pig very similar the zone is like a slower drone

So the Zone is just as overstable as a pig?

ESP plastic is much more durable than Pro plastic. ESP is comparable to Star plastic if not a touch more durable.

I love my ESP Zone. You should try one.

I'd get an ESP Zone. The Drone is overstable all right but its a mid-range driver. The zone is way slower but just as overstable. You could try a Gator if you wanted.

yes, it is a meathook no doubt. it may be a tad bit shorter than the pig, but i use it for shots a little bit shorter than a Roc or Gator

Yes the Zone is more comparable to the Pig than a Drone. It depends on what you were using your Pig for though.

+1 for Zone. Such a great disc.

ive never thrown a Pig. i have thrown a Zone (only putted with never any approaches or drives). the zone putts similar to a Rhyno tho. a Rhyno is a very good approach and windy day putter.

I used to throw a Pro Pig till I got a ESP Zone. They have practically identical flight patterns, but the rim on the Zone is much shallower, which allows for a more natural grip. It doesn't really matter so much backhand, but it feels great with a forehand grip and flies great too. I use it for left turning backhand approaches and right turning forehands.

Awesome, thanks for the replies. Im going to order one to test out.

The pic is almost just like a gator with a thumb trac

what's a pic? never heard of that disc...can you tell me more about it?

 

[aarikc17]

the pic is almost exactly like the pig!!!!! maybe even better!!! maybe a pig becomes a pic after a couple months when the stamp wears off. lol
