A couple more quick observations about the Anax from today. Today was the first time I'd thrown it since I made this thread about a month ago.
The Anax does really well in cross or tail winds. Today I was throwing it with a pretty hard wind coming from 4 o' clock to 10 (R-L tailwind). The Anax flew like the wind wasn't even blowing. It kept straight and didn't get pushed around. Some of the other discs I threw today were getting forced down to the ground by the wind. Not the Anax.
This disc just seems to hit a wall on max distance. I was smashing on it a few times today, and it went the same distance every time. The Anax doesn't seem to be a mold you can crush for a few extra feet. No matter how hard I threw it the disc was going a steady 385'. Usually with faster drivers I can dig deep for some extra yardage. Not this one.
Anax is a strange disc. I can't even really think of anything it compares to. It has a little bit of an awkward flight, right between fairway and distance driver. The Anax is pretty long, and has a slow flight. It does well in tailwinds, but gets beat up badly by headwinds.
I don't like the hand feel of this disc much. That sharp bottom edge of the rim gets annoying after a while. For how the Anax flies I'd probably just grab a Destroyer instead. The Anax is something I probably wouldn't bag.
