Is the Tyrant alive?
Any stock run Tyrants out there in the 160s not being used? Who's, uhhh, hand to I have to shake around here to snag one?
Just snagged my first Tyrants in a trade, a pink puddle top 173g stock Armor, and a perfectly domey pinkish reddish 172g Infinite VIP Series Armor. What a dynamic duo that is appearing to be. Haven't thrown em a ton yet but the Infinite Run reminds me of my 169g GStar Eagle-X with it's pretty neutral flight already. G* Eagle is one of my faves but I'm swapping that baby out for the Infinite Tyrant right now because I can, gosh dangit. Also swapping that Infinite Tyrant in so I can pair it with it's brother, the puddle top stock run. Holy Moses Malone, beef, it's what's for dinner. The flights are noticeably different, hence the great pairing.
I lately haven't been bagging many 7 speeds. I'll bag that domey 169g G* Eagle (also, this is the best GStar plastic on any Innova mold and I don't understand why) and a flat 168g ESP FLX XL and go more OS with a Savant/Thundy/_____ and a 169g domey Star Firebird (which I love). I'll throw a beefier flatter FB if it's called for. Really need to throw the stock Tyrant vs Firebirds just to see what kind of differences I can see. I envision they will both have their roles with the weight and speed differences, but also because the Star FB has dome and Tyrant has the opposite of dome. Thoughts on Firebirds vs beefy Tyrants while I'm babbling about it?
Coming from circle, you might gather that I am really digging drivers in the 160s lately. Mostly high 160s but I got a few 162s in there. It took years and years of throwing max weight to realize that its largely unnecessary and actually a detriment in most situations. I also play courses from 4500-6500 ft with big elevation changes and poor footing so I really notice the difference in the overall ease and quality of throws. Same idea with mids, I've stepped down to 173-177g. My 173g Amber Gila in particular is a treasue for this example. This all might be diff for me at sea level, it's been a while.
TLDR: While 172g and 173g isn't bad, I would love to get my paws on 1-2 tyrants in the 160s. Any run, really. Do they exist? Can I haaaaave some?
