Yep, except the plastic is different. The old Reefs even had APX in the mold. The newest don't and the plastic is similar to the new Steady putters. It's harder/stiffer but a little waxier than the old plastic.

Got some video up in the review of both my 10 yo son and myself throwing the Sail.
Those little symbols for all the discs are kinda neat.
My steady just came in today, time to see how it is!
Proline is very similar to ESP. I wouldn't go as far as "very grippy," but some runs of certain molds were a bit softer with more flex. It depends on how much Z is in the blend.
From my experience, PL Aftershock blends have remained pretty consistent throughout the years. I have a tourney stamped one from '08 that feels and flies just like the newest run. Baking soda and a green pot scrubber will knock the new off it and help add some grip.
If you want a very grippy Aftershock, Marshall St still has the old basket stamp D-Line Aftershocks. They fly just like PL new with a bit more glide. The newer DL Aftershocks are too flippy.
I felt up the new stamp Aftershocks today. The plastic is very different from the previous stamp and First Flight Proline Aftershocks, which is much like ESP. I have a stack of Proline Aftershocks in soft/grippy Proline. Get some of the old stamp or Marshall Street stamped Proline Aftershocks from Marshall Street. If you don't have at least 6 Aftershocks then you're just a poser. Orange, green, and yellow have been good colors for me.
I can't believe this disc isn't talked about more often.

The red one I tested flew pretty great. Mine is pretty flat, definitely no dome, but I didn't notice much more OS other than it being new. The only noticeable difference for me was the grip. The old blend definitely has a more grippy "gummy" feel. The new blend is only slightly grippier than SP, but I had zero slip and was still getting great snap.
