Alright gents, I broke my beloved Sonic this past weekend. While I might still replacement but looking into other lids. Give me pros and cons of other lids, how they throw etc etc. I actually use them during rounds so keep that in mind.
Polecat:
Pros: Widely available in a couple of plastics, very neutral and loves straightness. Not as deep profile so nicer for smaller hands and those more use to conventional golf discs.
Cons: People will giggle when you pull it out of your bag. Doesn't love wind. Doesn't like OAT.
Rattl'r
Pros: Shaped like a small diameter Ultrastar makes it familiar for Ultimate players. Can take a little more power. Handles wind decently. Really slow. Least stupid name.
Cons: Really deep dish. D plastic usually less durable than DX lately.
Birdie:
Pros: Handles wind and power decently, DX plastic.
Cons: Tweety bird ripoff stamp, poor glide (for a lid), deeper than Polecat.
Putt'R:
Pros: X plastic is pretty decent, actually lid-like, neutral to understable. Basically if a conventional putter had a baby with a lid it would be a Putt'R, so it's an interesting hybrid. Not terrible to putt with.
Cons: Z plastic (OOP) is a glideless turd for a lid (makes it a decent putter though). Rivals the Birdie in the stupid name dept. Kind of has an identity crisis, could foresee OOP in its future.
Zeppelin:
Pros: Lid-like flight in conventional putter form.
Cons: Never put into production.
That's all I got.
