I picked up a mid-weight Trail (170g), figuring I'd see how it flew compared to my Constructs. It was definitely flippier than the Constructs I bag. A turnover driver, with some fade at the end - like a domey Aura Construct. Thing is, that fade at the end is annoying. That's why I bag Mantras...

So after months of healing, I finally got out and played some golf today. Everything was rusty. Drives were all over the place, power was down, hell even my Comets were flying like trash, because I haven't thrown backhand since May. By the end of the round the cobwebs were starting to come...

From TSA, at that power level, a flat Construct (domey ones are almost as flippy as a Mantra) would fit the bill

If you've got over say, 320 feet of distance, the Mantra wants a lot of hyzer, to not over-turn. I've taken to throwing them like I throw mids and putters, just to take a bit of torque off them. Not sure how well that'll work in the end, I've been injured and haven't been able to throw full...

Depends a bit on the thrower, when it comes to the Big Z stability. I find them on the overstable side for a Comet, but I lack any heavy, old Z ones to compare to. My throw is very touchy though, and I tend to prefer my light weight Comets. For someone with a bit more power to their throw, they...

Well the stamp and the rim both day detour, sooooo... 🤷‍♀️

If I remember right, OTB still has those Cryztal Sparkle Comets in stock. Ledgestone probably does, as well. It really is a nice feeling blend of plastic, though ti does get a bit more slick as time goes on... The Detour feels, to me, somehow too flat on top - but uncomfortably so. The Hex...

So I snagged a Detour a week or so ago, so that once my knee is fully healed I can make a video on some Comets (and the discs most like them), and I got to throw it some the other day. Thing feels terrible in my hand. Now I know what people who hate Comets feel like! It's a half way decent...

Takapu, Spin, Comet, Firebird, Lotus, Mantra, Czar, Jet

Had a friend throw one of my JBZFLX Comets today, and he agrees with me. It's a Buzzz, in Comet form.

I may do that. It's too pretty to not find a use for...

Hada friend test throw my OTB Vanish today. I'd picked it up because I'm injured, and I wanted something flippier than my Waves, for when I can throw again (so I can ease back into it). Of course the damn thing is more stable than my neutron wave 10g heavier...

Closer than any Comet before it, other than maybe the Ron Russells.

Apparently the forum limits posts to 5 pieces of "Media", which is why that last one is just a link - but it's an Instagram reel, and it's probably the most fun shot of the group! 😁 Edit: here it is-

Yes! That's the video, thanks! I haven't seen that since the DGR days... So the pinky pressure thing - I honestly do it more with putters than Comets, because usually if I throw a Comet I'm putting it downrange pretty far. Think of how with a fan grip, your pinky is pressed into the rim of the...
