Theory from axiom is just a slower meteor FWIW. I liked the meteor but got annoyed by the faster speed when throwing some shorter mid/finesse shots. It has a weird turning point of no return yet needs decent speed/hyzer to stay straight too.

Kind of the same way I felt about the Legacy Gauge. It's a bit faster than a comet but can hold all of the same lines - but it's still less of a finesse disc because of it's speed.

The comet was actually the very first disc I ever bought and I still throw the original one I purchased. I have stuck to it for years and not messed with too huge of a selection of mid ranges. I usually only throw a Roc, Comet, and Pain. The closest other mid range that I have thrown that reminded me of a comet was a Lat64 Fuse. According to the stats, is it a touch faster. To me, it was a just a bit more under stable than the comet and has less glide.
You may want to give the Fuse a try.

I really noticed this today. Played a round with the Meteor and then did some field work with it. I actually had a hard time getting a decent turnover with the Meteor even while putting some good effort into it. It was wanting to straighten out right at the end almost every time. Never had that issue with the Comet.
One thing I really didn't expect about the Meteor is that it can handle a FH on a hyzer release. I was cranking FH hyzers with it in an open field and getting it to flip to flat and hold a laser straight line. Not sure right now where or if the Meteor will find a place in my bag.

Between my 400g M4 and 350g M4 I could never ask for more. I won't comment on the 400g as all has been said about it. The 350g is flippier and seems a touch slower. Holds an anny amazingly even at low speed throws. Hyzerflips to right turns at high speeds, whereas the hyzerflip with the 400g flips to straight or to a barely slight drift right. This is an awesome combo for me.

Used to bag Comets, while the rim feels like a cross between a Mako and Stingray, a nice pop top premium plastic Mystic will hold up nicely against it, in particular in the woods. Gateway has been doing them in Platinum, even has some tye dyes now, usually Element and Karma are the mids people think of with Gateway, but this and it's flatter straight stable brother the Scout (Mystic is a concave rim of this with domey Element top) are underrated discs.

Cobra or the Stingray. Stingray right now is only found in DX and Cobra has only ever been found in DX.

Cobras have been run in CE and Champ for sure.

I recently bought a Star Cobra from the factory store. They still have some.

Check out the Gateway Mystic, has the same top as the Element with a beadless bottom, and for me Elements fly like shallower faster Comets.
Has anyone talked about the Sol? I don't think it has a bead, and it sure seems to have the Comet Glide...

casey take a break, this thread is three years old and you're wrong multiple times... again.
True, the Z production run seems to be less power hungry than the Comet for me if that makes any sense.

The Stingray is the Comet equivalent in the same midrange speed that is without a bead. However not having a bead at that level of US means the Stingray will not hold up to wind. However I seem to be only finding for now the Stingray in DX.

No, stingrays are way flipper than comets, especially in dx
Here are some Stingrays in Star plastic.

That is the only place to find Star Stingray right now. Though can find in production runs for the Star plastic the very light weights under 169 grams, as all the production run has stopped and Innova factories and Dave have not yet decided to make the Star version a limited run.

I found the Star Stingrays to be quite a bit more stable than the DX runs, for me they were a different disc.
