[Drivers] Fourth Circle Discs- Taipan

[Twmccoy]

Anyone here thrown one of these? I tried one out a couple weeks ago. The Taipan is a speed 13 overstable driver that seems very similar to an Ape. It has the same hand feel as a Kong or Force, but is definitely a speed faster. Also similar to a Defender, but maybe a SLIGHT bit more overstable.

The Taipan is a good thrower. It flies true to the numbers and will go flat a good distance before sharply fading. The only time I saw any high speed turn was throwing into a fairly decent headwind. If I bagged this disc it would probably take the place of my XCal. The Taipan is a hair faster and longer though.

The Ultra plastic is excellent. It feels to me like Discraft's newer shiny, somewhat gummy ESP.

I liked this disc and would recommend it for anyone needing a fast, overstable driver that isn't a total pig.The Taipan glides well and will actually go very far when thrown hard.

I had never heard of this company. The discs are from Australia.

Taipan: 13, 5, 0, 3. Huge arms might see some high speed turn, but it won't be much. The Taipan gets downrange quickly, but wants to fade hard. Luckily its a prolonged fade, rather than the disc dropping out of the air like a rock.

For what it's worth, the Taipan got picked up by Full Turn Discs and is now the Crusade. The 2nd run in the attached link is the one I just picked up and it's said to be way less overstable than the Taipan/1st run Crusade. Haven't thrown it yet but I'm hoping for a slightly more OS Corvette. This glow plastic is amazeballs, as is all Prodiscus plastic, of course.

The Crusade is a fast, overstable driver. It can handle a lot of torque and is great for backhand or forehand drives. The Overnight plastic is our glow plastic to get those birdies late at night! Speed: 13.0 Glide: 5.0 Turn: 0.0 Fade: 4.0 Distance Driver Overstable

how far you throwing your distance drivers? I'm on Team Full Turn this year and have thrown the Crusade a lot! Could tell you a decent amount about their flight and different runs.
