Anyone ever seen or thrown a Tempest? I threw one for the first time today. Glow plastic, unknown weight. Probably 170g+.
Just looking at this disc it reminds me of a cross between a Shryke and a Tern. Fairly wide, shallow rim. Not much dome. Pretty flat.
The Tempest is listed at 13, 5, -3, 2. Based on what I saw today, I'd say those numbers are fairly accurate.
The Tempest will turn fairly easily, but won't flip all the way over. Dramatic S curves with a lot of side to side action. Thrown with a little hyzer, the Tempest carves a pretty nice flight path and goes a long way. I was able to get this disc out to about 440'. It wasn't the longest disc of the day, nor my favorite. However, its a perfectly acceptable understable driver. Good in calm or downwind conditions. Not recommended for anything upwind. The Tempest will test your ability to throw hyzerflips. It will turn and burn if you get too aggressive with it or don't throw with enough hyzer.
My only real negative on the Tempest is an unexpectedly dumpy fade. For an understable disc this thing will drop hard at the end of flight. This disc actually reminded me of a Nuke SS in that regard. Flippy, but with a dumpy fate fade.
Tempest: 13, 5, -2, 3. I changed the numbers around a little. The Tempest wasn't as understable as I was expecting, but will still turn without a ton of effort. Nice S curves followed by a sudden, hooking fade.
Overall this is a pretty decent disc. It didn't really cover any new ground for me, but I enjoyed throwing it, and it performed acceptably. Good disc for intermediate players looking to flex something out for big distance. It flies like a somewhat slower Nuke SS. Not quite as flippy either.
