What is the difference between a Reactor and a Matrix? Flight seems similar.
I bought a couple neutron hex and reactors to try and have mixed feelings. The hex is everything I ever wanted the buzzz to be and is a really nice disc. One of the two has no high speed turn at all while the other one has just a hint of turn. It feels so nice in my hand whereas the buzzz was always a little deep and didn't hit my hand right. The reactor has the same hand feel, but the flight wasn't as impressive to me. One of the two that I bought turns more than either hex which was not what I was looking for from this mold. The other one flies more like the the more overstable hex but with a dump at the end. Think I will just end up sticking with my dx rocs.
The feel is pretty different, but I think your right about the flight.

Has anyone else noticed much difference in the plastics and weights on the Reactor?
Have fun chucking plastic everyone and I'm looking forward to trying a fission reactor probably about 10 grams lighter when they are released.
Out of curiosity, why are you specifically looking at one 10g lighter?
Personally I'd start in the mid 160s for mids. 10-15g lighter will definitely be easier to get up to speed and give you a different flight. Drivers are where you can play around with lighter stuff. Ask Envychucker, he's the resident lightweight.The lightweight discs I've thrown until recently are all dx innova starter stuff that I never learned to trust. The dragon and beast I've tried at around 150 were only useful with a large tailwind when thrown forehand. Admittedly I don't have a ton of experience either... so take that for what it is.
Then I watched an "In the Bag" video for James Conrad, and he kept mentioning "max weight". So I stayed away from anything under 170.
I was planning on starting with a Reactor around 160 and then potentially going down from there as a middle ground way to start testing lighter discs. At over 50, I don't necessarily have a ton of power, and am intrigued with reports, here I've read, about folks using lighter weight MVP discs. The Reactor is the mold I'm most familar with, and would be able to notice the most change with...

I hear a lot about eclipse reactors being overstable, some say almost verdict. Dies that include elaine king 2.0s? I have one and its not quite as overstable as I was hoping. Looking for right in the middle of fission hex and pyro. Mine is 75% towards hex. If not the EK 2.0 then what run?
