in 2012 everybody raved about the fuse being a beadless comet. Its been years since I've seen somebody throw one.

Yes?



Its a new age comet for sure but the small bead is there.

 

[Halcón]

Yes?

Yea, but comparing the two it's almost like the Tangent is beadless. Feels much better in the hand. Plus the flat profile helps.

Theory is also an excellent option.

it was more of a trailing "NNOOOOoooo...."

While I think it turns a lot easier, this is what I was coming in to say. Stellar mold that's severely underrated.

I love my Flying Squirrels also, but they're not Comets.
Close.
But not Comets.

Agree on underrated.

There is no such thing as a comet that isn't a comet. There can only be one. Deal with the bead.

That's basically it. A Comet without a bead isn't really a Comet. That's why I recommend the Flying Squirrel. Sure it's more understable but a Comet without a bead would be a bit more understable. It's shaped a whole lot like a Comet, just sans bead.

I'd say your best bet is to try a Mako, Mako3 or Atlas. One of the 3 is bound to be to your liking. Especially because you want it beadless in premium plastic.

Id agree with how the tangent feels beadless. Its not as pronounced as it is on the comet.

So, what other beaded mids are close to a Comet?

 

[Aim For The Chains]

tangent 4 sho.

I've never thrown a comet but from what I've read and seen the compass would do well as a beadless comet. Can anyone, that's thrown both, comment on the flight similarities? For me the compass will hold any line with a bunch of glide, right out of the box.

Too fast, I would say a Fuse but that is so 4 years ago :doh:

 

[wolfmandragon]

There is only one Comet. The Theory does not have the low speed glide of the Comet plus is dumpy at the end.

 

[DanJon]

Closest thing IMO would be an older QMS.

The newer runs are too stable.

Nothing else I've ever tried has come close to flying like a comet really. It's ability to have neutral flight over a large range of speed is really what sets it apart.
