Mine seemed to have more glide than a 4, and it also was pretty flippy for having 0 turn (which I've noticed with other DD molds too). Its flight was pretty similar to my ESP Stalker. I think its ok it's just quite a bit different than the numbers imply. I liked how glidey it was.

This for me is the Volt equivalent - that straight-stable FW with forward, reliable fade at the finish.

I’m really looking forward to getting mine. There are times when it’s just a little too windy to trust the Explorer, but a Felon doesn’t really feel like the answer. That’s where I this disc will come in I think.

You ever throw a convict? Its a baby felon and would be an in between those two as well. Such an underrated disc.

Definitely, but River Pros feel awful IMO, so this has such a better feel and release out of the hand.

I am using the convict for that spot in my bag now. I also have a seasoned felon that I really like. I may try it but I don”t really use speed 7 right now.

You’re gonna love this! A little less left to right play in comparison than the convict, also these will go farther.

I have FD, explorers and Pioneer for my Fairways. Evader will probably take the place of the optox explorer as I don’t always like the super stiff grip of the X plastics.

How would you compare it to a Getaway. I love the Getaway, cause I can carry it in Bio Fuzion when I need more turn, I can carry SE's for nice straight shots with solid finish and jump to a Lucid X when I need beef but less beef then a Felon. I stopped bagging a Explorer because the Getaway is just so good.

Haven’t thrown one yet but have felt of quite a few of them. Wish I could do it but they’re domey domey domey. In that speed I’ve gotta have something flat. If you love the getaway and also are fine with a lot of dome, this is probably a good one for you. Nice narrow rim like all 7 speed discs though. Feels a lot like if a maverick got on steroids and beefed up.

I didn't like the Explorer. I wanted to like it but I didn't. Older gold line Strikers are money. Long, flip up from a slight hyzer, but not from a more than 10 degree hyzer. Goes far BUT always, always fades. I'm amazed they're not more popular. My understable fairway is a Saint Pro but that might change soon.
