Get out of my brain. Me thoughts exactly
I don't really see the Flow as the best disc for high powered players with enough control to throw consistent drives at 100 percent power. The Destroyer, Wraith, etc are all better suited for those players if you ask me.
I, however, don't have the consistency in my form to throw speed-sensitive drivers. I throw best when at 90 percent or so, which is where the Flow excels.
I love my PDs. For shots where I need dead-straight with a reliable fade, they'll still make my bag. But if the hole allows for some left to right play, or doesn't allow for the PDs fade, the Flow is coming out.
If I had to choose only one though, I think it would be the Flow. 3 of the last 4 S-PDs I've had were meathooks when new. The Flow does what it does straight out of the box.

This is exactly what I meant. I think this disc may really help someone else. And I also didn't quite say "its as long and controllable." I said "its no more long and controllable." For me its a little shorter and a little more squirelly.

I want to like the Flow, but in the limited throwing I've done so far, it's just not much more than my PD's for me and not quite as consistent. I think it is a disc I will eventually grow into more in time. I just don't think I'm right for it yet. I did just de-flash my Opto, but I've yet to try it since. I might also try a lower weight and see what difference that makes.

so the flow was pissing me off some tonight. its really finicky , i got good rips with it but sometimes it just tanked out of the air and didnt come out of the turn like it usually does. it wasnt that windy, maybe 6mph. i want to like it but i dont think its gonna replace my sb orcs. if my sb orcs had the glide this does, man i wouldnt think of the flow at all.but we'll seee

Has anyone tried tuning an opto flow? Wondering if the opto plastic will stay where you tune it like star or esp plastic.

I doubt it will,it got super stiff lastnight in the cold and my optos were gummy to begin with. I could try to tune my goldline as that would probably hold a tune better
My GL is super stiff because of the cold. Couldn't tune it if I tried. Even when it warms up it's pretty stiff.
If anyone's got a heavy Opto with the flash in tact that they're looking to trade, hit me up. Not committed to it enough to buy one but I'd give up some plastic for it.
I am on the Flow bandwagon because I like the idea of a max D driver with a SMALLER rim. That's what makes it different from all these flavor of the week drivers that have been coming out with bigger and bigger rims, none of which I've tried after the Destroyer. The Flow may or may not be the final answer, I'm not sure, but at the very least, it's a step in the right direction.

Here in good ol' FL the cold isn't as much of an issue I'll try to tune mine anyway although I do normally throw hyzer flip drives for big D but it sounds like head wind shots are out with either the gl or ol flow if you can throw ~400' +.

Well it IS NORTH FL!
I like the idea of a smaller rim too. I max out at just over 400' on a good drive with a Katana or Nuke but I can throw my Surges and Valk almost every bit as far and I find them easier to control. Crossing my fingers on the Flow. Should get my first ones (a gl and an ol) today in the mail. We will see.
