Discmania (FD) Jackal

Wut? Teerex X :-D

There hasn't really been a speed 7-8 understable control driver, this could fill the slot.

EDIT: Well, maybe the River...

TL, EL, XL, XS...

all a tick or two more stable than the Leo/RR

I was assuming he was saying a control driver as understable as the river, which in my experience (I have throw three different opto rivers) are about the same as a TL, except less predictable

The best river I've thrown to date was nothing like a TL (although I've thrown several that are similar). It had the same turn as a leopard, possibly a little less fade, though really similar, and just blew the socks off of a leopards glide, all while being faster. This one in particular was a slightly lighter river, 172, if I recall. All of the others that I've thrown (close to max weight) were TLish.

I may have to get my hands on some lighter rivers now...

 

[Frank Delicious]

almost all the rivers I've thrown (which have all be 169+) have been more stable than I expected them to be. Great disc just not quite the understable EX compliment I was looking for.

my money is on a JLS clone with the PD top

 

[Timko]

JLS bottom = Whippet Bottom

maybe it is a buzz on steriods. Oh wait wrong company.

A faster cheetah would be cool.

You almost have to break driver into 3 levels anymore fairway, distance and warp speed.

True, but a seasoned TL does what you tell it to.

Me: TL, turn right.

TL: Okay!

See what I mean?

Well if you're going that way, any speed 7-8 disc will fit if you beat it enough. =P Though I did completely forget about the XL.

I go with these -

Fairway
Control
Bomber

 

[keltik1]

but what really is the difference between a "Fairway driver" and a "Control driver"? 20 feet?

 

[Trey1331]

Define some control driver discs please.

 

[mjdepue]

Define some control driver discs please.

PD, TD, OLF, OLS, Avenger

 

[keltik1]

I think the PD/OLF/Avenger are the "standard" control drivers nowadays.

 

[money 21]

i think of the speed 10 and 9 discs as control drivers.

 

[jubuttib]

I don't think of control drivers as any particular speed range, they're basically any driver that's easy to control on different shots and isn't too touchy (wind, OAT etc.), nor a meathook. TeeBird, Eagle, most premium Leopards I've thrown (surprisingly stable), VIP King, Quasar, good premium DD's, PD's, Avenger, OLF, JLS, all of those certainly qualify.

Pls elaborate. Aren't the ones I've bolded generally thought of as warp speed drivers? I'm surprised that you list those two as "easy to control on different shots and isn't too touchy (wind, OAT etc.)".

I'm not contradicting you (since I haven't thrown either) but it just goes against what I would assume from 13-14 speed maximum rim width drivers.

Thread derail warning!

About the FD I hope it takes a role of controlled straight shots at reasonable power to controlled turnover shots with more power. That's a slot I'd have use for.

 

[jubuttib]

The Quasar I have pretty much flies like a speed 13 OLF or a slightly beat speed 13 PD, and works in windy conditions too. It's easier to throw than the DD2 for example, I need to hit that pretty nicely if I want to get it to go anywhere, it really doesn't take well to powering down. The Quasar really is the first warp speed control driver I've ever seen.

VIP King on the other hand flies very neutrally for me, I can get it to go left, straight or right. I can power down on it without it becoming a meathook. It wasn't bad in the wind either, though nothing like the Quasar. It's less of a max D driver for me (though it is long) because it's so easy to control, both fade and turn are very subdued. It isn't a warp speeder either, about halfway between Wraith and Destroyer.

Can't wait for this disc been trying to fill the gap between Buzzz and PD for almost a year now. In my mind I'm picturing the Jackal as slightly faster Leo. Never thrown a River I've heard they throw a lot like faster Champ Leo. I think this is going to be Innova's/Discmania's version of the Stalker but just a lil less stable and hopefully a lot more glide.

Imo the qjls is the stop gap in this category. It flies like a longer buzzz in almost every way.

 

[booter]

^ this.

Im still gonna try a jackal

this thread needs MOAR speculation!
