Dave. Are your machines grinding out the Sirius Orion Fade (SOF)? I picked one up with the World's Biggest stamp and I kinda like it. Being a noodle arm, I have to throw it anny (S shot), but it is controllable and going farther than my beloved Sidewinder(s).

Anyway. If you are cranking these out, is the SOS (straight) out there anywhere?
Rod,

I got a hold of a couple first run SOLS and they flew identical to the SOLF. I don't know what happened, but they took the SOLS off the buy list. I hope the come out with a SOLS that isn't just like the SOLF.

We have run SOFs SOSs and we just ran SOLSs. The SOFs and SOSs did fly similarly, but if you had enough power, or were throwing into the wind, you would notice a little high speed turn in the SOS. The latest run of SOLSs have a little bit more turn, but the difference between the two isn't much. Any turning disc will turn variably depending on nose angle upon release and relative wind velocity (cross wind, head wind, tail wind). That is why most pros use stable discs, as they are not as variable. The Orion LF is a pro type disc with very little variability. It is probably the best 150 class long range driver in high durability plastic, for sure, and maybe any plastic. IMO. I got to throw and test both the SOLS and SOS. Both had their merits, but I liked the SOS better and it seemed a little longer and was moldable in 150 classs. The SOLS was probably a little better for long turnovers. YMMV

By far, the most important part of any shot is what is happening in the last split second as the disc is pulling itself from your grip. Focus there. It's the key.
