is the glide worse on the yeti?
Not much talk here lately about the Yeti. I'm really impressed with mine. Not only is it a great putter, but does very well for approaches. While watching tourney vids recently, I've seen James Conrad throwing the JK Aviar which is very similar to the Yeti. He pulls that thing close to 300'. Not sure what others have experienced with the Yeti, but it is working for me.
Yes, most of My Yeti's are puddle-topped.
I'm guessing here since I can't see your disc and I don't throw JK's, but for me the deal with Aviars always was that the best-feeling putting Aviars were older driving Aviars I had where the top would drop. There is a spot about 1" in from the wing where the plastic must thin out, and the whole flight plate drops down at that spot. The Yeti's I have drop at that same spot, so the size of the area that drops is the same. The Yeti's have a more dramatic concave top to them, my putting Aviars had a dropped top but that top is still pretty much flat. The Yeti top droops quite a bit. That never bothered me because the feel where I grip the disc was the same. A Yeti to me felt and flew like a seasoned Aviar out of the box. It has that comfortable drop-top feel and a lot of the fade you get from an new KC Aviar just isn't there.I know that, but how wide?

Yeah that sounds about right. It's like a ThumbTrack for me. I have alternated between putting Rhynos and JK Aviars for 2 years now, and the bottom is the same, so with the collapsed top of the seasoned JKs, I almost feel like I'm putting a seasoned Rhyno. I may have to order some Yeties now.
That was always what we thought. The Ching Tank came out at about the same time and it had the same top and a small bead wing, so we thought the Rhyno used the big bead Aviar wing and the Tank had the small bead Aviar wing. Don't quote me, though. I've been wrong before.I've always wondered that...3Putt, does the Rhyno share a wing with the Aviar (X mold I guess?)?
