why 2 pains? gl or opto, light or heavy...a pain is a pain. carrying two seems redundant.

Yeap, the only Opto Pain I've thrown had a pretty long straight flight with a nice fade at the end, where as the domey GLs I've been throwing were total meathooks.victorb said:I thought the same until I bought my two - the opto flies as I'd expect it to (as has been discussed in this thread), and the very domey goldline is more comparable to a drone than the opto version of the same disc.Apothecary said:why 2 pains? gl or opto, light or heavy...a pain is a pain. carrying two seems redundant.

I throw both the Pain in Opto and the Roc in Star plastic. The thinner rim on the Roc makes it easier to turn over, and it is definately more of a grass grabber around the baskets on approach. The Pain can be pounded for distance and has a nice skip at the end. The pain is a go to disc on my tweener shots that don't quite need driver distance because I know that even if I OAT it, the disc is stable enough to come back left. Two different and necessary discs for my game.Ryan C said:I agree that the Hornet is faster, but I dont think more stable. You should maybe try an Opto. GL are almost always less stable. My Pains are VERY stable. Definitely more stable than a Roc.

Ive had the same experience. The Opto and GL of the same weight, the opto will fly straight with good fade. The GL will be more os from the start

I am sure it was a freakish one because it had a flight similar to my core. The gold one when calm was better but is oen of the worst discs I have ever thrown with any wind. I have been a huge Lat guy because of their plastic and their sweet discs, but their large variances between not just plastics and runs, but also colors is getting tiresome and I am taking the pain out and trying out a hornet. This slot is really just for something to throw in slight wind or sharp hyzers anyways. I can use a buzz or fuse for anything else.
