So I took the nova out on the course tonight. I must say that it is a very nice disc. It does seem to handle power off the tee quite well. This disc held whatever line I put it on. I absolutely love it as an up shot disc. Once it hits the ground it just stays. I must say that driving felt a little weird to me. I believe once I get used to the grippier rim it will probably go better. As with every disc, I will just keep on practicing with the Nova. Also, when it hits the chains it just falls flat into the basket. All told I think the Nova may just take my p2 psycho's place in my bag.
I threw and putted mine yesterday too. Yellow plate with purple rim 171g. Definitely flew where I pointed it. Not really BB Aviar stability but straight. the plate is stiff and the rim is firm but really grippy. the profile looks almost like an Aviar P&A no bead. It putted good but dropped really fast. Once I got used to that, it went really straight and stuck well in the chains. For me, this may make a better putter than upshot disc. We'll see.
I would love to see a combo of flexy Champion flight plate with R-Pro soft tacky rim for putting!!!
