I also just got to test my drones out. it was about 40° and 25-30 mph winds. With the wind it was very over stable. Went straight with a very stong finish. I haven't played in about 2 or 3 weeks so my form was a bit rusty, but I was getting these 280-300 or so. Into the wind tosses with a bit of hyzer these flipped to flat and held it and still had a strong finish. I also had a few really nice knife hyzers with these. They also sidearmed well. nice big S line. I compared these side by side with a couple new S demons and a star whippet. Longer and not as overstable as the demon and about the same as a whippet, maybe a tick shorter. The drone is the most comfortable in my hand and its taking the whippet out of the bag for now. I have a feeling it will take the spot permanently. The only downer is I wish the plastic was a bit firmer. I would love if they did an ESP run. I'm giving this disc 8/10 on the Dave-tastic Rating ramble and 1 1/2 thumbs up on the Dave-o-rama Scale of goodness. I think with a little more time to work with them, those will both go up. Good Job Discraft!!!
