just wondering how these plastics match up, in terms of amount of float/lift when thrown?

also in terms of durability, grip, and feel.
 
Only threw 2 test material discs: Fuse and River. I didn't think they performed as well as Opto, GL, etc. Turned one over into a lake, and sold the other.

I think Retro is a much better take on baseline: performs much like DX, glidey, not terribly durable. Retro Saint and Prime Truth are the 2 best discs I've thrown in this plastic because they start out OS enough to still be useful after a tree hit or two. Fury and Claymore, not so much.
 
Both discs have very good grip, the TM2 is a bit softer and less durable with slightly better grip. I prefer the stiffness of the Retro. Flight wise they are very similar with the Retro being ever so slightly more stable/os.

The only way I would use either is for putt and approach.

edit - the reason I would only use them for P&A is that they are roughly as durable as DX, with the TM2 being softer than DX while not breaching R-Pro levels of soft.
