Are they going to be more stable or less stable than the 167 star boss's which i found to be the more stable version of the boss.
Also is it possible to get the Echo down to the 167 weight range if so maybe this would make it more stable and give it that dome that most everyone looks for in their echo discs (xcals, dest)
thanks in advance
I don't know what that does as I would have needed to test it. I didn't. We ran some flattish softish Bosses recently as in the past they turned out to be a little flippier and faster. That didn't happen. They were just as stable as the firmer domier Bosses. It's gotten very difficult to predict flight characteristics of wide wing discs based on how they look out of the mold. Some domey Bosses are flippy and some are stable. Some flat Bosses have been very stable and some very flippy.

It may be possible to use the Starlite process with Echo. We have not yet tried it. Good idea though. It should, in theory, lighten it and stable it up at the same time. That's the theory any way.

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.
