it's like a vulcan wraith combo that flies 100 feet farther every time with half the effort and 3x the wind resistance, I'd be surprised if it wasn't your favorite disc after one round.

A Groove on a 146 foot hole? Yeah, unless you have nothing but high speed drivers in your bag, i.e. no mids or putters, I'm sure you have something else to make this shot with.

Do you hate the groove?
just trying to get a number on how many people hate the groove.

Just search the word groove and you'll find your answer.
Yes I've noticed this hating the groove trend. I'm not exactly sure why. I have one and think it's a pretty good disc. But..as I've gotten more of the other drivers I wanted I find that I pretty much don't throw it anymore. Groove flies the straightest of all speed 13 discs so I would think some would like that quite a bit. I have much better contol on straight shots with my teebird otherwise might use my nicely worn champ Orc. So yea, I don't really use the groove anymore. But I don't understand why it's considered such a crappy disc.

Dude, I'm sorry, but it definitely isn't the straightest flying speed 13 driver. This all depends on the person and their throwing style, and I don't know if you have or not, but if you haven't tried all of the speed 13's then you probably shouldn't have made that statement. Every other speed 13 I've thrown has been able to fly straighter than the groove and was more predictable. It's not like it can't fly well but it's the least predictable disc I've owned, and I'd rather throw something where I know what flight path it will take.

they're just so wildly inconsistent from disc to disc that it's ridiculous

WOW. Interesting poll results. Maybe I should try to throw that blasphemed plastic and make my own opinions.

i have to have one in my bag at all times. im a big sidearm thrower and it gives me the distance i need and with the hard finish it has to the right, make it so easy to find the right like for me. although, no one else in my group likes it at all (all back hand throwers)

A lot of forehand throwers at my local course love the Groove. Watching them flick that disc, it appears pretty fast with a boat load of LSS. They can turn them over heavy, and they always flex back at the end. A couple backhand throwers like them as well, but the disc seems to be most popular with the forehanders.

that's what i've gathered too. i got it after my monarch, and i haven't gone back to it. it just seems so predictable for me. might just be because i throw it all the time
It's just a fad thing to hate it. One person says they hate it then everyone else falls in line. The Groove was a new disc design that just didn't work simple as that.

i didn't like it, but a buddy of mine used to be able to s-curve them rhfh up to 400

Never worked right for me, it would just meathook and burn at 250. I throw the Boss and Katana just fine, maybe it was just a bad disc. I'll never buy another though.
