What a stark difference in discs we have here. I recently acquired a nice, domey echo star Destroyer. I threw it some today in the field. This thing is marvelous. I haven't thrown a Destroyer like this one in a while. It actually had the -1 high speed turn, and would hold it for a while before fading. The glide was outstanding, and the disc was very long compared to most other Destroyers I've thrown.
E* Destroyer: 12, 5, -1, 2
McBeth Star Destroyer: 12, 4, 0, 3
McBeth star Destroyers are way flatter and have FAR less glide than this E*. The E* Destroyer had some turn, but I won't call it flippy. It would do a long, tight S curve before gently fading. MUCH mellower and longer fade than the McBeth Destroyer.
In all honesty, the E* Destroyer reminded me of the proto first run stars. Good dome, great glide, and it wasn't ridiculously overstable. IDK where Innova went wrong with Destroyers over the last few years, but the E* I threw today showed me (again) what a good Destroyer flies like. The last few McBeth Destroyers I've thrown have been gummy, flat, glideless, and VERY overstable.
