Is there really no thread on this? Sorry if so. Anyway, here goes.
Maya Dimensions:
Diameter: 21.1 cm
Height: 1.1 cm
Rim Depth: 1.1 cm
Rim Width: 1.1 cm(obvious typo by Infinite-PDGA has 2.1)
Max Weight: 178.00 g
Speed: 12.0
Glide: 5.0
Turn: -3.0
Fade: 1.0
OK, let's talk about the oddest thing here: speed. I know speed is different things to different people and companies, but this one is a real head scratcher for me. According to my caliper, this disc is 2.5 mm less than a Destroyer, and 2.0 less than a Tern. Same rim width as a Mamba.
My one disc is an X-out I-blend, I think. 163 which is on the light side for my drivers. Anyway, this thing bombs. I had given up on Terns because I started getting odd releases out of nowhere. I blamed the thinner rim. The Maya also has that rim, but I have not had problems yet. I even set a personal best on one of our longer holes despite the break from Covid and me simply not throwing very far in 2020.
In looks and in flight, the Maya appears to be the child of a Tern and a Mamba. I can see elements of both in the rim, and it is certainly understable. Way more understable than either Champ Terns or even fresh Champ Mambas. Mine is about like an US Star Tern. If you throw over 350, this might be a downwind bomber, but then again, I have a sample of one, and it's light. Otherwise, you may have no use for it. Another comparison would be: a much better Thrasher.
So, I have gone ahead and ordered two more in higher weights. I hope to report back after our course is cleaned up from Laura.
