^^ interesting! I havent seen a Gunmetal Bandit.. I LOVE my Dark Blue Bandits and they are much more stable than my Icon or Silver Legend

I have never thrown a Bandit that even begins to approach a PD or Thunderbird. The only way I can make shot work in an all Legacy bag is by powering down on an Outlaw. It works, but I am not nearly as consistent as I would prefer.

yeah im with ya there..my Gunmetal Legend Rivals are as close to a Thunderbird as ive seen for a Legacy mold but still a touch slower .. i tried bagging Thunderbirds but at my arm speed they overlapped too much with my Rivals .. the lil bit of distance i gained just wasnt enough for me to bag them..

The blue Pinnacle Rival that I picked up from Quinum is actually pretty close to my PD's. It's noticeably faster than the other Rivals I've tried. My Gunmetal Legend Rival is significantly slower and shorter.
This, pearly blue Pinnacle (domey stiff) Rivals replaced my Thunderbird.
Pro Leopard - Excel Patriot
Star Leopard - Phenom (but its faster)
TL - Patriot
TB - Rival
Thunderbird - Overstable Rival
FAF Firebird - the Fighter
Bandit - Valk
Outlaw - Destroyer
Ghost - Roc 3
Guage - Coyote (comet)
Thats a pretty thorough beating of Innova's good stuff, in plastic that feels better when I switched with legacy.
Bandits are very comparable to Valkyries. Nothing like Thunderbirds IMO. Finding a nice overstable one would be like replacing some of the stiff or Glow Valkyries.

I would think the Nemesis is more comparable to the Valkyrie than a Bandit. I would say the Bandit resembles a Roadrunner more then the Valkyrie. The only Bandit I've ever thrown that was overstable was a Gunmetal Bandit. That thing is a freak of nature.
No the nemesis is nothing like a valk. I was running at 998 throwing 3 valks. Ive never thrown a Nemesis in any plastic that held a hyzer on a hard throw, even Legend(what you call gun metal). A bandit is a seasoned valk.
Manufacturer numbers
Bandit: 9,5,-2,2
Valk: 9,4, -2, 1
Nemesis: 10, 6, -4, 2
Sidewinder: 9, 5 -3, 1
Roadrunner: 9,5 -4, 1
Which is exactly what they replaced in my bag. My seasoned star valks (bandit) and seasoned Champ Roadrunner (Nemesis)
Inbounds flight chart:
The bandit and valk stay in the under -50 column while the nemesis and RR both approach the -100 line.

Mongoose is the Sidewinder(snake) killer at 9,6,-3,1.

The gunmetal color (dark green) Legend Bandits are considerably more OS than any of their counterparts. More like a 9/5/0/2. Reminds me of the Sandstrom Star Valk I had (no turn; just straight with good fade)

Oh ****, the Enemy needs some beating in, might be time to work on that flick roller I've always wanted.

I love Steve and Legacy as I am a fan of him and his DG company but...
I found it funny that the Firebird section of his bag was omitted or edited out but at the end he actually mentions them being in his bag?
We all know he throws them, so why not keep them "in the bag" in the video?
Now for a random, off the wall question...
The Legacy minis are nice and heavy enough that you can throw them. They have an actual disc shape and fly right unlike some other companies that are only useful as a marker.
Are the minis made out of actual Legacy plastic blends or are they just some random hard plastic used just for them?

I assume that this has been talked about before in this thread, but how does the Sparkle plastic fly as compared to Pinnacle/Icon? Innova Metal Flake stuff tends to fly more overstable than it's champion counterparts, but is this true of Legacy as well? Marshallstreet has a bunch of Sparkle stuff running around and I was wondering if it was worth checking out compared to the regular stuff.

They didn't omit it, he has 3 Firebirds and 2 Wraiths. He didn't go into any detail on them but they were included.
Perfect, I will get my hands on one.

Thank you for that information. I had no idea. Well I guess I have to get some Bandits now....damn, like I need to spend more money on discs.

I wonder how beat in those FBs are that he can't switch the Enemy in right away. So obviously sooner or later we will get a disc to replace those Wraiths. What else is left? More stable but not crazy overstable speed 9/10 (PD, Thunderbird) Understable putter (Spike/Magic/XD), Overstable Putter (Zone/Suspect), Overstable Midrange (Gator/Drone)?
