Well that "Secrets to finding the right Destroyer" video did finally confirm one thing we've suspected for a long time: the Scorpius definitely shares at least some mold parts with the Destroyer. I just checked my Scorpius's and they all have the grind marks from removing the Destroyer patent numbers. Most of my Scorps are FR Sirius and they all have 3 grind marks (so they all appear to have come from a single Destroyer mold). I have a few Scorps from other runs that are a mix of 3 and 4 grind marks though so they've definitely run them out of both Destroyer molds since then. I still don't know if I believe the Scorpius is completely a Destroyer; the Scorpius feels a little deeper in the hand to me. It definitely uses the Destroyer bottom mold piece though.
I'm not sure it confirms anything. I have Eagles with the same grind marks...
Right, but the Eagle was released back when they still put patent numbers on molds, and the Scorpius wasn't. The Eagle mold needed the patent numbers removed so they were ground off just like with the Destroyer mold. Also, I'd imagine the grind marks on the Eagle are not identical to the ones on the Destroyer. The grind marks on my Scorps are identical to those on my Destroyers.
No. I am really liking the Barsby Sirius however.anyone thrown the new run of quantum scorps?
1.10 Sirius Scorps have started popping up. I've seen swirly ones available as tourney fundraisers as well as solid colors available for team member stamping. The 175g Solid Green I received looks very similar in shape/profile/dome to the 1.9, but the plastic is a tad bit softer and grippier. Feels great.

Newly available LE Echo Sirius Scorpius, will test against my 1.9 Sirius once I get mine in. Some of these trickled out as CFR a week or two ago so maybe someone else has tried them already.
I asked for red 175g when I ordered mine, hope those are more like the yellow from your description and don't have any blizzard rim. Hoping for something to fill the gap between my 172g+ 1.9 SSRP/Destroyers and 175g 1.1 Falcon. I have a couple 166g 1.9s that are pretty straight to fade normally but get blown around in the wind a bit (plus have the blizzard rim which makes them snowflake 1 of a kind rim profiles).I got a couple of them, one green and one yellow. They seemed like different runs, or at least different blends. The green had a slight blizzardy rim and random metal flakes like they had ground up some MF plastic in the blend, tho it's not champy (translucent) in the slightest. It is embossed SCORPIUS 1.1 and penned ECHO. The yellow is solid, opaque, embossed ECHO SRP 1.1. Both are max weight and have massive poppy dome.
They are less OS than the 1.9s, the green significantly less so. Both bomb, with a satisfying bite at the end.

What kind of distance are you getting with the Standard Scorpius? I'm thinking if they would work well for having multiples from OS to US. My distance is roughly ~400ft so would a brand new standard Scorpius be OS for me?Who was I trying to kid? I ended up ordering 2 of the 1.2 orange/165-169 Barsby Scorps on Friday since they were running a special.
I love my M Scorps, they bomb for my arm, and I'm looking for something that can handle a bit more wind.
