Quake or the Buzzz OS. Flat topped like the Zone, but will carry further.
Thanks for all the responses! I will check them out. It would be mainly for sidearms, so flat profile is a must. Buzzz OS sounds tempting, i actually think i have a Big Z somewhere. It is not super overstable but it has some stability. Should i look at a ESP or a Z FLX Buzzz OS for added stability?

Banshee, perhaps. The Hornet is OOP, but can still be found and might do ya.

I found the new Axiom Pyro to fit this slot. For me it's between a Zone and Stal. It's both slightly longer and more OS than the numbers indicate, and it's super flat with a great feel in hand. It's also available in three plastics now.

Z xtreme!
MVP Resistor is right in between those two.

Where did you see that, I keep hearing they're all flat and I don't think Paul would accept they were domey

Yep, I keep seeing this too. It's a shame because as a long time Zone thrower, Zone's have no business being domey.
The only reasonable thing I can think of is that the mold template might have broken/be breaking down. That, or they're trying to get more 'user-friendly' versions into people's hands. Gone are the days of Zone's that get to the ground as quickly as possible... now they're truly fitting into the tweener OS mid/longer putter category. Not that I really have a problem with that, but it's not easy to find newer Zone's that flew like the old molds.
Happy to be sitting on a small stack of older run puddle topped ESP and Z's. The only Zone's I'm buying these days are Soft's and Jawbreaker's for driving.

Well luckily domes are easy to get rid of. I just ordered two from discraft, I'll post what I get.
Yeah... I'm hoping it isnt true. Zones don't need to be easy to throw. If someone wants a user friendly Zone they need to throw a Ringer GT and leave my Zones alone.
I have a flat and stiff Z Zone that I love, and a PMcB Zone that is still flat, but a lot gummier and not nearly as overstable. I hope this isn't a new trend.

I wouldn't think it has anything to do with the mold. My guess is that they are rushing production and cooling times. Hopefully they don't become another Innova and just spit discs out as fast as they can with little to no concern about quality control.
That said, there are plenty of zones on the market and I imagine there are folks that would like to try a domey one. This could wind up being one of the more highly sought after runs a few years down the line.
But… Zones should probably just be flat.

I wouldn't mind a domey Zone if maybe it slowed the disc down a bit. The only complaint I have about Zones and what keeps them out of my bag is that they encroach on that 3.5-4 speed area. This is not a bad thing in and of itself, I just like to pair a Mortar with something more like speed 3 if that.
Felt up a few yesterday, seemed less Domey and more rounded shoulder leading up to a flat top. On the flip side, all the other plastic blends were very flat still.
