They appear to be very similar discs in terms of distance/glide etc. Which do you prefer to use and why for your turnover and hyzer flip straight drives?

HEAH ME NOW AND BELIEVE ME LATAH!
I used the sidewinder when they arrived but they eventually irked me, mainly because the low speed part of the turn is more pronounced for a low-spin thrower like me; I simply had a real hard time keeping it 'understable' throughout the flight. No matter what the weight, back over it came, with a vengence.
Enter the roadrunner. Now the one I use is 175, and I have nooooooo problem getting a saweet anni throw with this disc. Throw it flat, watch it bend. And the end flight is more straight than the pronounced skip of the sidewinder. It does turn back over a bit, but not NEARLY as much. I've got a stack of broke in 'winders that are making excellent dust catchers.

I'd like to check out the RR b.c my SW simply never stay in the sweet spot...too little highspeedturn when new and not enough low speed fade when brokein?

i prefer the Roadrunner to the Sidewinder as my understable driver. The rim feels more old-school and they seem like better rollers (though i don't roll as much as i Roc). Can't wait to see them in STAR plastic...

My experiences:
Sidewinder: Can be a stable disc when new and thrown with low speed and or spin. Beaten in mine are bending with great predictablity.
Roadrunner: Love it! Hyzer flip, you bet! Roller, sure when I learn how to throw one! But the bend on these is even more than the SW.
I throw both to bend: The SW would be for shorter bends and the RR for longer ones!
I carry both!
