[@EzraAderholdDG]

[@levimarvin4108]

Every time, the dog people

[@blackrifle3932]

Dog people are so rude with no care in the world with what’s going on around them. They believe the world should stop and wait for their dog to get ready to move out of the way. You don’t ever see someone walking their cat stop in the middle of the fairway or open field and look at you as you wait for them to move.

[@grantklein10]

Lol, this happens to me sometimes. I occasionally have to stop throwing in the field because the dogs want to help "retrieve" the discs

[@matiask7633]

Just amazing how consistent you can be with diiferent brands. Really shows in the flat throw.

[@smtx11]

This comparison couldn't have been done better, nice work man! Photon's are great. Bag a Fission and Plasma. Cause I can only throw 400-425 (unlike noodle arm Ezra here haha) the Photon's understable brother, the Wave, is my max distance driver. The thing flips perfectly and glides for days! The new Fission ones are pretty special.

Obligatory comment to appease the algorithm! Ezra - some suggestions from the DG community - run through some videos of your work out routines. Being the most in shape pro on tour of note - there would definitely be some people interested in how you do it and how each routine plays into your game!

[@BaysingersDiscGolfChannel]

@@briansanchez6065 I prefer the Fission plastic for the grip. 2 of mine are FR Fission and are lower weights. They have been in my bag for 4 years and are flippy with a little tail off at the very end now. A buddy of mine recently gave me a MVP Open stamped Fission at max weight and it is money!!

[@BaysingersDiscGolfChannel]

Fission is known as their light-weight plastic but there are actually plenty of max weight ones out there. Can't go wrong with them!

As others mentioned, that Zues is def an anomaly. I've got every one of these discs but the one from DD and the Zues flight is almost identical to a 400G D2 in my testing of over 100 udisc measured throws. So hard when everything is different disc to disc, my sockibot destroyer is the biggest meathook I've ever thrown outside of an Ape.

[@jeffdejaynes7231]

I love these comparisons, but after seeing that Zeus turn like a Hades. I think doing videos comparing the same discs with different characteristics would be awesome.

[@A.J.K87]

It's so fascinating to see. When Drew Gibson did this the destroyer he had was super flippy and the Zeus was the one that flew the furthest. In this video it's the opposite. It just goes to show that each disc can be a little different.

[@EzraAderholdDG]

Definitely inconsistency for discs

[@Vanbulance89]

Loving this series. Want to second the requests for a workout video.

[@sportstraining2374]

It’s also cool because that defender is a speed 13 5 0 3 so for you to turn it over

[@ObsidianMadness]

I’m a bit confused. I bought a defender and it’s numbers are 13 5 0 3. And it’s honestly more overstable than that. What’s the deal with this one?

[@EzraAderholdDG]

I just gave my own numbers based on how they flew for me. You definitely could have gotten a more overstable one, discs are pretty inconsistent

That flight tracking was awesome. Great video.

[@baileybrown811]

Octane is way more like the destroyer than the photon imo. Octane has the same rim size and its meant to be the professional distance driver for MVP. Photon is like a stable wraith if you go by speed and rum size. Octanes are just better destroyers, again, my opinion haha

I haven’t thrown them all, but have found the Defender to be pretty comparable to most the Destroyers I’ve thrown.

[@emilkihlberg4236]

All brands have consistency issues because of the batches of plastic they order cannot be the exact same everytime

[@hiddenleaf414]

Imo MVP and their other companies are the most consistent. I’ve lost or messed up 3 different Teslas and every time I buy a new one it’s the exact same flight path.

[@dw.discgolf]

I feel like a zeus’ flight numbers are 12/5/-2/2. It’s a lot flippier than most of these that I’ve thrown.

[@outandabout259]

Could you test all 14 speed drivers? I have had 2, westside discs World and innova Colossus, and both fly great but I know for sure that I don't throw hard and far enough for them to fly the way they are supposed to. I would love to see them shot from your cannon and hear your thoughts on something with so high speed!

I really don't like to try that hard, so my Destroyer is useful to about 250' on a hyzer line. I'm tired of buying discs.
