Detour vs Hex: The Ultimate Disc Showdown

[@JohnnyFairway]

Lower arm speed guy here I bag both plus an Uplink for guaranteed super easy turn and flippy utility shots

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Gotcha! They are both great and both baggable too. How is Baggable not a word? It really needs to be.

[@RichardLawhorn-ms2cb]

@@JohnnyFairway try the Paradox out for floppy turns too. Just be careful because you can get it up on edge and have a roller. I love the Paradox for those uniques turn shots. It also flips up easily.

[@Jovi_97]

I also bag 'em both. They are different enough that they compliment each other very well

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Heck yeah! They are so good.

[@joshuafleming8215]

I bag both! I have the hex in a heavier weight for windy conditions, but the detour is my go to midrange because it's so workable

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Yes, I agree.

[@gomoe_2416]

Same

[@kenshot-]

I bag a Hex for my understable/neutral mid, and a Fission Reactor for my stable mid. Nice video!

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Heck yeah. Good call.

[@Ryan-gx2vf]

Great review! I bag both of these and a reactor as well for more overstable shots.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Right on!

[@TBHDiscGolf]

Love these discs. I bag both

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Nice!

[@baustin612]

Pyro - Hex - Detour - Paradox. Boom all shot shapes covered between 200 and 300 ft.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Heck yeah! That’s my mid lineup.

[@kevinhop7505]

Nice comparison. Thx for the great content. I bag the proton soft echo for straight and soft hyzer, and the neutron detour for soft turn and hyzer flips. So, pretty close to this hex-detour disc line up. When I get into tight woods courses, I throw in the mana and/or lobster.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Soft Proton is my all time favorite. I’m thinking of doing an ALL proton soft video. It’s my favorite.

[@timhannah5240]

I too bag them both.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Heck yeah!

[@blmart67]

I have both! Liking the Hex and a little better, but both in my bag. Have the Detour for future glow rounds that I have never tried yet.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Yes!! So good.

[@ashevillescarborough]

Eclipse hex + beat in fission hex is great. Detour is a bit flippy for what I want it to do. Also bag a paradox and signal for those flippy shots. Good work.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Nice. That’s a great lineup.

[@ashevillescarborough]

@ oh yeah, the pyro is the GOAT as well. :)

[@Scomelbasses]

I bag both. The Detour is definitely more under stable. Both are fantastic.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Agreed. Great discs.

[@UncleD-f9e]

I have both and usually throw the detour in the wooded areas and Hex for long upshot’s

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Awesome! Sounds like a great use of both of those discs.

[@dogvsraptor1980]

Mothman Detour is amazing, flies almost exactly like the Neutron Detour.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Oh yeah! It’s so good.

[@victorvasquez8094]

Cool video what weights were they ?

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

174-175g

[@Waffleir0n]

For a beginner, would it be a decent idea to get a pixel, proxy and a detour as a starter set?

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Yes! Sounds like a great starter pack. Then get a Mantra when you are ready for a driver.

[@TheCookiechris]

i bag both but i love the detour even a little more..

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

I hear that. I love understable mids.

[@RichardLawhorn-ms2cb]

I bag both. I find the Hex holds a hyzer for me without flipping up where the Detour flips up. My Hex is glow and Detour is neutron. Absolutely love the Detour

[@RichardLawhorn-ms2cb]

I also bag a Paradox and Uplink.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Nice! Totally agree there.

[@renfrog67]

I bag both. I have a lower arm speed so they do very different things for me. Detour I like for a hyzer flip and the hex is straight with a dependable fade. 2 different shot shapes for me.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Perfect

[@michaelmaddy5232]

My mids are a mix of mvp family n discraft. Comet, Paradox, Meteor, Hex, Vector, and Runway.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Nice. I love it.

[@joewilkens77]

I really wanted the Detour to be that dead straight tunnel shot but I found it was a but touchy and I would either burn it over or get too much hyzer. As my throw gets more consistent I'm sure I'll use it more!

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

For sure.

[@TexMurphy97]

I love the detour, it’s a really good disc but I don’t use it much. Between the fission Hex and the Mana there isn’t much room left for the Detour. The Hex and Mana are both better at their thing and have more clear roles in the bag.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

True, that makes sense. All great discs. Love the Mana.

[@cs2097]

I do have a Detour. But I rather bag a max weight Hex and a light weight Hex and angle control to get that Detour type flight while keeping my molds minimal

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Gotcha. That definitely makes sense.

[@ks-pg5sh]

Uplink/Detour/Hex/Reactor/Pyro.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Heck yeah! Killer lineup.

[@renfrog67]

I add 1 to either end of that same lineup paradox on the understable end and deflector on the overstable end. I throw mids a lot during my rounds.

[@sveref]

eclipse reactor, eclipse hex and the conrad gyropalooza detour :P

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Oh yeah! Solid.

[@styxkeeper]

I have both, but usually I just end up grabbing the Hex and putting it on anni instead of sending the Detour flat

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Makes sense. Thanks for sharing.

[@Narstrand6]

Okay, I paused the video straight away, so I haven't seen more than a second of it, and I want to say what I think (or know, since I own them both): The Lizottle Hex is so stable that it is more like an utility disc for normal people, and a stable straight flier with reliable fade for pro's. For comparison a Destroyer is overall much less stable than my Lizottle Hex. The Detour is more of a neutral straight flier with some fade at the end, perfect for us normal throwers! Probably not usuable other than as a flippy/long anhyzer disc for pro's. They are very much different, and can't be compared. There, that's my take based on my copies of them, let's see how yours behave! :) EDIT: Yeah, I'd say that your Detour seems similiar to mine. Your Hex though is so much more understable than mine. I had the same issue the glow plastic Crave, which is so insanely overstable that it feels like a joke. Strange.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Nice. Thanks for the comment.

[@RichardLawhorn-ms2cb]

@@Narstrand6 I took the glow Crave out of the bag for that reason. I was so looking forward to a lower speed driver that was slightly over stable with a good glide. Instead it was crazy over stable and just dumped out on me. Love the stamp on it though lol.

[@jojodamajicmunky]

Pyro/Hex/Trash Panda Dune/Uplink are my 5's. Love the Hex and I'm sure I'd love the Detour too.

[@mofongo1221]

My Dune!!!!!

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Nice!

[@greybearddiscgolf]

Right now I am bagging both. For me the Hex has a bit more distance up to about 280 st, but the detour is absolute money on a 240-250ft turnover.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Perfect. Great use of those discs.

[@greybearddiscgolf]

@PartTimeDiscGolf I'm trying to bag shots right now, not discs... if that makes any sense.

[@jamesh8519]

Hex detour and pyro make up my mid lineup

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Me too. Killer lineup.

[@samtowne7001]

Hex for me. I bag the Matrix for forehands. I would like to see a forehand battle of Matrix and Pyro discs!!

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Nice. I like that idea.

[@gsisongkham8591]

I do, but I throw the detour way more

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Yes, me too.

[@snapcase72]

I bag both, the Lizzotl Hex and a neutron Detour. The glow Hex is a lot more stable than the Detour, and the Detour goes way farther.

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Yes. I agree about the Detour. It just goes far for a mid.

[@markotalving4983]

Watermelon Proton Hex and Neutron SE Detour in my bag. Hex watermelon is much more OS.

[@markotalving4983]

MD in my bag are Hex watermelon Proton, Detour Neutron SE, PYRO Prism Proton, Uplink Neutron. Waiting Balance, hope it will be the ONE for FH😊

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Nice. I missed out on the Watermelon Hex. I wish I would’ve got one.

[@chevysevery3461]

i bag both of them but i have to throw my hex on a slight anny to get a straight 300ft shot

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Nice

[@bd4307]

hex for soft early turn but detour for long turns...sweetest flight...

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Nice

[@papabrose]

Yeah I find the detour to be more unreliable when throwing. The hex is consistent and a slightly beat in hex will down what the detour does but better

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Nice

[@footfaultdiscgolf]

Foot fault

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

🦶

[@parrott13]

Uplink - Echo - Pyro

[@PartTimeDiscGolf]

Oh yeah! Solid.
