So I've thrown my TP Stag about 50 more times, and I've come upon two conclusions:
1) the glide on this thing is unreal
2) it's a jack of all trades, yet a master of none
The closest thing it does to excel is on low hyzer-flip lazer beams...but again, its nothing that 6 or 7 other discs can do; probably more if you count some of the longer mid-ranges. The downside to that is when thrown that low, the glide isn't that noticeable. Give it height, even in a tailwind, and it becomes a little more unpredictable. You can get more distance that way, but it starts to defeat the whole "control driver" thing. Another interesting note is that, after a few good rock hits, the outer veneer is starting to peel. A little dirt got under the peeling, so I'm sure that will just make things way worse as time goes on. Never had this problem with my TP Kings or my TP Boatman. So kinda weird.
I threw a huge variety of shots, in various wind conditions and tempertures, in wide open fields and tight wooded areas. Still, I'm confounded by this disc. It feels great in the hand, and the TP blend (aside from the weird peeling) is fabulous. Yet, I just can't see a spot in my bag for this. My Teebirds go farther and fight wind better, same for my Volnt (even in a lighter weight than my 169g Stag)...I can get similar shot lines with my Shocks albiet with less glide but more distance and the same hard fade, and my Patriot is much more understable though possesses the same realm of shot-shaping. So, the Stag could probably be a decent (not great) utility driver for another player, just not for me at this time.
As a member of the InfiniteDiscs reviewer team, I've got an Underworld and Tursas on the way...I'm hoping they outperform the Stag. Again, not displeased at all with the Stag, just not a knockout fairway driver from Westside.
