after playing a round with my tangent I will never go back. made shots with confidence that would have normally been a stretch for me. the tangent is like a good wife, it does exactly what you tell it to

Need a good understable Mid. Suggestions?

Having thrown both, I couldn't agree more with this. I got them both at about the same time (from the Marketplace here, ended up paying about $4 each), and the Stingray is still in my bag, but I'm not even sure where the Wolf is. AND if you get them used, you don't have to put so much effort into seasoning them - mine has a VERY nice right turn every time.
^^ if comets are understable for you, youre doing it wrong
Fuse, meteor, buzz ss, M4, dx stingray, star mako

From my experience it goes like this:
Fuse if you are a Buzzz thrower and don't have perfect form
Comet if you are a Roc thrower and have smooth form
Meteor if you don't like foreign plastic
Wolf if you shop at Dick's Sporting Goods
Star Mako if you shop at Dick's and have extra money
EDIT: the Fuse and Comet are really more straight/finesse discs. they are easier to make understable. Many of the others are truly understable.

Can't believe I'm only the third person to mention the Flying Squirrel. Holds a turn when powered down to places most of the "popular" understable mids can't. Tons of glide and a blast to flip to flat for tight tunnels.

Buzzz SS - you already have the same exact disc with more stability.
I'm trying a MVP Tangent for this slot as well.
Want something longer? DGA Squall goes as far as a most fairway driver.

I'll be number 10 to recommend a gold line fuse. By far my favorite disc.

Not necessarily.
A beat X Comet is a nice understable disc, but will require a good amount of control. Seasoned Comets are nice stable to understable discs. Fresh Comets are perfectly straight stable, but it doesn't take an X, especially a light one, to get to the point where it can fill the understable slot. So I think it can be a good suggestion.
I'm giving people the benefit of the doubt, under the assumption that most know what a turnover looks like, i.e. not an anny and not wobble induced.

The Comet is a understable disc. Thrown flat they turn, flat and hard and they turn even more.

Down to the Fuse, Tursas and Tangent. Maybe I will buy all three and see which I like best.
Not to mess you up after you've narrowed it down to 3, but I just recently got a Panther, wow. I don't know how I've played for as long as I have without one.
I love understable discs, among my favorites: Valk, Leopard, and Sidewinder. I could just be imagining it because the flight charts suggest this, but the Panther feels like a mini Leopard, which feels like a mini Valk. Even if it's just mental, that similarity really fits into my game.
But the Panther does everything I look for in an understable mid. I can throw it straight and it does just that, goes straight with very little fade. I can put it on a hyzer, and depending on my snap, it will either hold the hyzer or flip up flat, then fade back slightly at the end. I can throw a gentle anny and it will just hold and even turn a little. I can turn it. I can even flick it, so long as I don't put too much on it.
It is really touchy in any kind of headwind, and you can't throw it too hard, but that's pretty much the case with any understable mid.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I love the Panther.

agreed! just lost my perfect seasoned Xbuzzz, gunna pick up a new one, is there an difference in the new stamped ones?
ESP Meteor, that's probably my favorite disc roght now. Put power on it and it will turn over and just glide forever, or throw it like a little girl and get a dead nuts straign 200-250 foot shot. Put it on a hyzer to get around big bends, it rolls halfway decent and has helped me learn how to throw forehands much better.

I urge you to add the Flying Squirrel to your list. It really is the best disc no one ever considers.

Got my first (and only) ace with a gl fuse. Love them. Threw a tursas and just didn't really care for it. Good luck!
I disagree. But thats fine.
Fwiw, throwing a disc flat, and it turning isnt an indication of understability, imo. The majority of discs on the market, especially in the same speed class as a comet do the same thing (turn when thrown flat)
