It's grip is way different, but the OG Swan is pretty much a baby Mirage. Swan2 is fairly straight unless you throw it hard.

would the L64 beetle be considered a lid? seems like it would fly pretty similar to a Sonic

All the DX Polecats I've thrown weren't new. So, that probably explains it.

Not true lids but rather in the category of the Toy Disc or dog disc. They are close, another disc like that is the Super Nova and I have only thrown one once a cousin or uncles they had for Super Class events and rounds they would play.

Has anyone else seen these Limited Edition Jawbreaker Rattlers? Two popped up on eBay and I snagged one. It just has a graffiti stamp and no mention of Ledgestone or anything. I haven't seen them anywhere else. It is a 145–150g so I thought, if nothing else, it would make a nice catch disc for warm-up. I haven't thrown a Rattler since the 90s. I have used a 175 Z Putt'r for touchy approaches since they came out but, who knows, sometimes good things happen when you see an old friend.

By DG standards, it's a lid.

By what standards is it not a lid?

Not disc golf?
Side note I've been struggling to bag a lid or not. I tend to lean on lower lines and firm throws, and always question why am I throwing a Rattler instead of a Clutch. Aside from a very rare drastic air bounce I can't think of a single shot where they're superior. Buuuut I also love them:wall:

I've debated ultimate players about the definition of what a lid is.

Slow, slow predictable annys
BH flick-of-the-wrist shots when timber is an issue
Soft landings
Tight Hyzer-flips
Running putts w/o blowing past
You can make a rattler sound while flashing the 'double finger fang flash' during it's slow flight.

I was watching the Nick Hyde tournament and seeing what GG can do with his Sonic has made me really want to get one in star plastic. Is a sonic considered a lid?

The Sonic is technically considered a fastback.
I mean it's both. It's a fastback lid. The decider on what is a lid is the wing, not the top.
Unless I'm wrong. :| I don't think I'm wrong, but I've been wrong about that before.

Standards...
It's a lid if people look at you silly every time you pull it out of your bag. For me, it's a Polecat, for GG it's a Sonic, for koda it was a Doggy Style, for you it might be a Zephyr. YMMV.
