I would be interested how the old bead would be in the newer plastic(i kinda salivate,star old bead whippet..mmmmmmm)
The reason for the thought, I was recently at a tourny with 40+constant winds and everything I threw,into the wind, even the extreme (sorry discraft reference,but nothing innova has is as stable in my opinion,,if there is tell me)ended up looking like a beat up 40 mold
back in the day I remember similar situations where that old bead whippet was the trick
maybe a CFR program or limited run/special edition...throw me a bone
Whippet X is the ticket. We don't have the old bead. Also the X Monster and Max are over stable. 40+is a heck of a wind to be throwing into, but a new disc will still take it if you can release it smoothly. The trick is to not flutter it. That is not that easy with your arm moving into that current, however.

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.
