I think people gravitate toward the high speed drivers because of the perecption of potential distance. They see the disc go far for pros and assume it will help them too, even though pros can throw a wham-o 400. I wish companies could market "potential distance" numbers for skill levels so that new players would grab a fairway and not a Destroyer. Stoked to try this disc. The "Trail" looks like it will be awesome too.

Truth fits this slot for me: super comfortable, great control, good distance and beautiful straight lines. It's also the first mid like this that is not too touchy either.

I like the little fade that it has at the end plus you get some decent turn out of it, that's basically the perfect mid-range. It looks a tick more stable than my kastaplast svea and a tick less stable than my fission hex.
@mpbx30037 ай бұрын
It's kinda funny how so many manufacturers push the distance drivers because that's where the money is because the companies push them. I honestly think a part of the rise Latitude have had in the last couple years is down to how much they push the Fuse. I totally agree that a slightly-understable mid is the ideal learning tool. I used to be a "they're all so flippy" guy struggling to hit 200', then smoothed out the form, started hitting 250' regularly, and...struggled to turn them nearly as easily.
@ReluctantAardvark7 ай бұрын
DD said they tried to make their mids feel similar but, beyond the EMac Truth, Truth and Claymore, the other mids start to look and feel quite different, with beads and sharp rims, etc. The look of the Hex, Detour and Uplink is very compelling. Good review.

If you have a chance to try the Streamline Echo side-by-side with the Detour, it would be worth the trip to the course. (The Echo comes stock in Neutron, but there's also a soft Proton version in the OTB release from this year.) Very similar numbers and flight, but a few bucks less.

Big caveat for playing with just this type of disc: you will be extremely frustrated for a long time. I’ve been playing for the last month with just the Trash Panda Dune and Inner Core in my bag for this exact reason. It’s hard, like really hard, but when you do get a clean release and you start to pickup on the smaller details your shots start to feel better and more purposeful. Still, I have a long way to go and many more frustrating rounds 😅

Try all the discs you can with your budget and/or borrow a friends. Just because its speed is "above" your arm doesn't mean you won't be able to use it. I think this is a giant disservice i see in tons of videos. I see a lot of AMs stopping at a wraith because youtube told them to. They can certainly get good shots out of even a boss. Not all fast discs fade into the dirt right away.
