@FlippyJamesDG it depends on my mood on any particular day, but generally I think the ethos crux is slightly less grippy. I have also heard good things about the ethos soft crux that otb released. The mvp soft plastic is generally popular for feeling tacky.

Great videos James as always . From someone bagging an original glitch shark ethos this new praxis flies no different feels no different just a cool stamp. I'm in the disappointed camp being that if soft ethos plastic is soft proton which is my favorite plastic disc golf deals should get on mvp to make it right. I'm gonna keep the gnome sparrow since I've thrown it because it's a great mold. If a soft ethos praxis becomes a reality I'm not expecting a free replacement but I would hope for a decent discount since I didn't really get what I paid for.

Just recently snagged two of the new Plume Mantras. A 158 and a 159. I've barely got 300 in me on a good day, so I don't have the arm speed to cook them too hard. I got them to try out the plastic, and to see if it made uphill throws a bit easier, because of the courses in the area demanding a few good steep uphill drives. I haven't thrown them yet as the seasons have decided it's time to kill anything living outdoors lol, but I'm looking forward to spring.

@@FlippyJamesDG I spent 20 years as IT helpdesk and Field support... so KZbin and Email is the most I bother with Social Media... Not that I'm still wasting soooo much time on KZbin... Now I'm a maintenance engineer (pressure washers etc with a jack of all trades ability for sports. I threw Frisbees a few times a year since the 70's so Disc Golf was a quick uptake.. but man did I have some odd habits... What I have found is.. I throw most of my discs more than one way so I get 60+ discs out of a 20 disc bag... One of the main throws I have that no one seems to talk about, comes from good ol casual Frisbee throwing... Stand in a field on a calm day, about 100-200ft from a target... Open stance (so as a RHBH my right leg is forward and aiming 45deg right of the target (so normally completely wrong for a backhand)... grab a Scorch (my goto disc for this as it is a smooth curve & doesn't tend to level out... Stare directly at the target... Don't look away right through this throw... Envision a smooth curve 30deg (high wind) to near verticle (no wind) from you in a loop to the target.... now Yeet that disc from below/behind your left hip up and away right on that planned path... The result lis a hyzer bomb tha tyou can near pinpoint a target round a tree etc while staring at it. Last weekend I did a 50ft upshot with my Entropy (works for shorter range again as it doesn't bend off a perfect curve in this instance... I hit the face of the basket from 50ft... in strong wind... The very next hole, 40ft away, 10ft down hill, wind from the left so aimed a little left of the basket... slam dunked it ... with 3 others almost as impressed as I was... The scorch does tend to skip below 45is deg but that works even more when getting round a tree. That combined with my Tesla roller RHFH overhead into the ground within 20ft of me getting up to 280ft... I have some unique throws. Makes up for my 100m (330ft) max. One day I'll put up some videos... I haven't been riding/videoing MTB for a year... It's just too much fun throwing plastic at trees to spend the time filming as well.. q8D
