[Vs.] Favorite 2016 release (2016 approved)

[Halcón]

All three of MVP's Circuit discs were excellent, but my fave was the Signal. The max distance class of drivers is also solid, but a bit too much for my arm and rim comfort.

Andro C, narrowly edging out the Tyrant

I freaking love that thing!

 

[World Eater]

Didn't the Colossus protos come out early this year? That would be my vote.

I like the Catapult but I don't like how it seasons. Fortunately I have plenty of fresh optos that should last many years.

I like the Destiny as well.

Ddx has been great for me. Max d drivers are my most lost disc so it's nice to have one that fills that gap right off the shelf. I'm at the 380-400 range and the flight numbers match up perfectly. Also it pairs great with a pd2. The s-lines(ddx & pd2) have been a perfect combo right away. As soon as those beat in I will compliment with a metal flake ddx and a luster pd2 (10 years!)

Admittedly I didn't try the majority of the new mold this yet, but I'd vote for the RDG Tyrant with the Westside Longbowman as a close second. If I didn't love the OLF, I could see myself using the longbowman to cover most control/fairway shots I'm using the Orions and Teebirds for currently. The Tyrant is a great fairway that I found to be quite versatile. It had the HDs of a teebird but much more LSS like a FD3. I just prefer to use a teebird and something else a bit more OS as a utility(in my case whippet). I do keep both for my funsies rounds bag

 

[Reniger]

Tough tossup for me. While I love the Tyrant, the lack of different plastics was the determining factor for me. If there was a run in a stiffer Star style plastic over the softer G-Star type that they've run, the Tyrant would win for me hands down.

However, as it stands, the DDx gains my vote. For us non-Simon/Eagle/Pauls of the world, the DDx is a great driver to be able to cover that Destroyer/PD2 slot and get a few of the same mold to cover OS to flex lines. I have a DDx that's every bit as overstable as my Glow Destroyer and an S-Line that's worn into a superb turnover and hyzerflip disc. There's a reason it took the market by storm.

 

[PMantle]

Voted DDX, but am also carrying Undertaker and Matrix from that list.

 

[hugheshilton]

The only new disc that currently has a bag spot is the Shryke. It's like a Tern without that ultra shallow rim that's hard for me to grip. So far I'm really liking it.

 

[thechamp]

On the list Element Discs Uranium.
The best of the not listed Leopard3 or Colossus.
The Colt was the best till Innova ruined it.

 

[Dr.Smooth]

Longbowman.

The undertaker would have been the one had I been more of a discraft thrower though.

Is your Shryke domey or flat?

 

[JOwens]

Archer, most reliable anny disc I throw. Every time I throw hole #3 @ Pride out comes my pink Archer I will ace that hole in '17. I usually park within 10'. (Hole 3 is 210' and protected by trees, not long but you need an Anny or one heck of a beautiful short S-curve)

 

[Twmccoy]

I haven't thrown the DDx yet, but it intrigues me. Personally I loved the Destiny. It's like a refined King with a bit more stability. Its in the very upper echelon of longest discs I've ever thrown.

 

[DG_Before_Breakfast]

Well, glad I popped into this thread, if there is a Tern-like disc that is better than the Tern, I gotta try that shizzit.

Meanwhile, I have only tried 3 of these discs, but the Pipeline is an awesome control driver. The rim is so freaking easy to use. I can throw the thing like a Mid, and get distances just 30-60 feet shorter than my Terns. If I throw it flat it turns over effortlessly and fades back. I can put anny on it and it has a smooth understable flight with just a bit of fade. Parked two ~300 foot holes I rarely park this morning with it, and got in the circle on a couple others. Really nice to have a disc I can throw far and accurately without a lot of effort.

 

[Declarkus]

2nd the Pipeline love. The Proline is a great stand still driver. SP Pipeline is a bit more OS with slightly less glide.

I also just started bagging a SP Sail. Turning driver with very little fade late, making it another great option for effortless distance.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

been crushing the MVP octane. Didnt even expect to need or like a 13 speed distance driver but.... :thmbup:

Not too OS off the shelf yet plenty stable enough to be a go-to max D mold. Been pairing with the seasoned flying catalyst which is missing from the poll.

 

[chevis]

I realize now that i should have divided the releases up somehow to deal with the 25 item limit on the poll. I had to cut down the list of 78 releases to 25, but at least there is the other option & it's not beating the ddx.

 

[hugheshilton]

Is your Shryke domey or flat?

It's fairly flat. I have 2 of them now; picked up a proto star stamped GStar at PIAS the other day. Neither of them have a lot of dome (nor did any of the proto stars I pawed through in the store).

I am looking forward to a run of champ Shrykes. I will be very happy if they are straight like the champ Terns.

They just released the first CFR run of champs on DGU! Am worlds fundraiser I think.
