Now that you've been throwing the Middy in both plastics for a while, I have some questions I'm hoping you can answer...
Are you still finding the Bravo Middy to be less OS than the Alpha? Most of the reviews say the opposite.
I'm looking for a disc with better HSS (i.e. less likely to turn into a headwind) than my Lucid Emac Truth & Lucid Verdict while not giving up too much distance (as compared to those discs). Would the Middy fit the bill? (You rated the glide at a 4 in another post, so that has me worried.) Which plastic would you recommend?
Thanks!
I decided not to re-up with Lonestar for 23, so I don't have either in the bag any longer. But I had the Alpha Middy in the bag all year and it held up really well, not much turn an a gradual late fade. It did lose some of its high speed stability, but never got flippy.
The Bravo and Glow that I had, started less stable but they didn't really beat in at all, I think the Bravo plastic might stay at the same stability the longest of their plastics.
Can you explain why the 4 glide is concerning? I feel like to gain a very high glide number a disc has to have some turn, so if I would rate it less than a -1 out of the box i probably wouldn't give it a 5.
Right now I'm throwing the Amber Gila in that slot and it is a touch more HSS than the Middy and a touch faster, so it fits my throwing style really well.
