I don't know if I have a freak Trident or XXX, but my XXX is waaaaay more overstable than my Trident. My Trident flies pretty straight then has its fade at the end, almost like a new Champ Teebird.
I don't remember who explained it to me, but it was right - the Trident (or mine, at least) flies in the shape of a tall L, whereas the XXX flies in a curved shape, like a C.
Most likely a freak. I beat the hell out of my Trident from all the thumbers I threw with it and I have to lay into it with some considerable over the top OAT to make it fly straight (or at least the appearance of it) for any period of time. Because it does not glide as well as the XXX, I did not like doing this because most of the time I am just throwing it into the ground. What it was best at was spike hyzering for placement, not distance.
I just ordered one of these. It looks like it will pair up with the XxX pretty well. Sounds like it has a neutral HSS and a high LSS so straight to a heavy fade? I need something like this as my XXX is a pure meathook utility disc.
That's about right. If you wanted to drive 250 - 300ft straight in a field with both of these discs, you'd need to throw the trident full power and flat. It may turn slightly with he-man power/snap, but should stay very straight and hit the dirt as soon as it slows down, which is pretty fast due to the blunt nose. The XXX, most folks will need to throw on a decent anhyzer with power and flex it for distance.
I have a 170 gold line and Its exactly what you are looking for i promiseI use the XxX strictly for fh or oh. Ive needed something like the trident sounds for awhile for backhands.
I ordered a GL 169g Trident. Since im looking for it to be straightish when first released i figured a lighter GL would be preferable to a mid 170's opto.
Another thread back from the dead. Sorry, but at least I am using the search function!
Looking at the Trident as a possible utility disc for overhands and skip shots. Any advice on what weight to snag one in? I generally throw drivers in the 164-168 range, but I am not sure how this one will behave at that weight. Gracias.
There are some light weight Tridemphs out there right now OneMile. I picked up and Opto at 164g's, thing is mondo stable and just takes a pounding, zero HSS. I think the most impressive thing is that the late fade isn't just a tip over and die fade, it stays up for a litlle while before dropping in.
I have no idea what that means. Explain please. My new Trident is going out for a stroll tomorrow with his brothers, and I may just let him fly.
they are just exceptionally good for spike hyzers, just being a dork as usual.
Actually endless uses as all manner of utility fh/bh/oh disc
