The NEW People's Midrange? [My Most Requested Comparison] // Hex vs Pathfinder vs Buzzz Disc Review

[@CorbinM_DG]

Hex by far my favorite mid

[@zkhhungo9970]

All three are great discs it's all about that hand feel. I bag an ethereal pathfinder I dig it but i gotta say I love how even people who don't like the buzz still throw really well with it. Damn thing is undeniable.

[@ryosapien27]

That’s what i saw “ hey this disc exactly what i want it to do but it’s just not for me ?”

[@BDupy1]

​@Ryan Bahr it's hand feel for me. My Simon Hex immediately kicked my Buzzz out of the bag just because I love how it feels so much better

[@KalThuemler]

The buzz gets caught on my hand never comes off clean for me I am a fore hander and it just does not release clean. The hex comes off my hand like butter I get good torque for my arm speed.

[@truce11]

Dude you're cranking out content. Glad I subbed. Loving these disc checks and comparisons

[@njott1021]

Hex is just sooo smooth out of the fingers. It kind of reminds me of the Loft and it's rounded edge

[@ColdToiletSeats]

agreed that's the first thing I noticed once I threw it .. comes out so clean compared to my buzzz

[@TyCampbellTX]

Hex is easily my favorite disc in my bag! Also, you keep liking my favorite discs that are in my bag lol love my Berg and my Hexes! Next favorite disc for me is my Star TL3. It flies like a Hex, but further.

[@jimbow3674]

I like that you are using graphics to showcase your lines. Whether on TV or a phone it's difficult to see the path and disc in flight. Your editing ethics are outstanding. Very innovative and entertaining.

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

Thank you very much!

[@eviljinius337]

i've thrown all the popular mids... the hex made me double-take. then i handed to it to my friends to make sure i wasn't imagining it. it goes far and straight and can handle a surprising amount of power. straight as a putter, far as a fairway.

[@cdg101292]

MVP has some SOLID molds.

[@TyCampbellTX]

@@cdg101292 I love my Hex, Reactor, and Envy but I've tried alpt of their drivers and haven't liked any of them yet

[@cdg101292]

@@TyCampbellTX Try a Catalyst sometime. If you find the right weight for you, they absolutely bomb on a full S-Curve when thrown flat. Very workable for long distance.

[@kwolitek4785]

I love the buzzz, I don't want glidy in a midrange, I want it to predictably get down and sit and the buzzz is clutch for that. I use the z glo flx buzzz and love that plastic

[@cullsans]

Love the breakdown and example throws! I've been playing disc golf for 15 years but just recently started diving deeper into it, looking into proper technique and how to really improve your game. I realized that I was probably not doing myself any service throwing only distance drivers and putters 😅 Definitely looking at picking one or two of these up for spring, leaning Hex.

[@Johanthegnarler]

I've noticed the ESP and Tour Series ESP swirl this year all came out kind of slick. Was kind of upset about it but after playing a handful of rounds they break in really well. Buzzz SS ESP swirl are my favorite. I didn't like Buzzz for quite a long time, now they're some of my favorite discs

[@TMRaven]

Beat in Reactor > Hex. Flies the same but fills my hand better. Also Hex has a wider rim than the Buzzz, so it should have more distance potential. It's less so that it has more glide/gyro, and definitely the wider rim.

[@coryy8792]

I actually had the same independent thought about Though Space beating in fast. I had only hit a few trees (5-7 range) and noticed it started to turn just about every throw where out the box it help every release angle consistently. Didn't know that was even a theory that was being discussed. Still bag the pathfinder because it feels great and still goes really straight. .Nice video! Enjoyed the 3 way battle.

[@KalThuemler]

I have three Hex in the bag and use it for my fairway driver and approach almost exclusively. They go straight for this 62 year old disc golfer it is awesome for my arm speed for sure and they even fly in a head wind!!!

[@SethDStanley]

Good test! In my experience, the Pathfinder is dead straight, like Glitch straight, while the Hex tends to slowly ride whatever angle you give it with a nice finish. I actually bag both, the Lizottle Hex and Pathfinder, since I find they fly different enough. The eclipse plastic definitely makes the Hex a tad more overstable like the Buzzz.

[@HyzerFlexOnYou]

I've been making the rounds testing out different straight midranges lately and the hex really stood out. I found it wants to fly like a frozen rope, and it's surprisingly torque resistant, which is great for players like me who prefer not to power down.

[@ChrisPlaysDG]

I switched to the Hex from the Buzzz and never looked back. I can forehand the Hex much better than the Buzzz, and the Hex feels better in the hand, both shape and plastic.

[@acannoli8287]

The Reactor is definitely the closer Mold to the Buzz, but a great video nonetheless! Neutron Reactor has been my favorite midrange for the last 2 years and it’s that perfect blend of pushing turn and stable finish

[@StabbyMcShankerson]

You shipped my Felon! So hyped to support your content!

[@JacobPorterLadder]

That Hex Color combo is ideal.

[@matthewbarber405]

I have tried all 3 of these molds, and I bag the Pathfinder. I loved how it felt in my hand from the first throw. And it gave me the most distance out of the 3. That's coming from an old dude with no arm speed.

[@nolanturtleski5981]

Love your content, been here before 2k. Congrats on 6k.

[@Tedseract]

wants to hate the Buzzz Still crushes every shot with the buzzz

[@artem_mma]

Hex! I absolutely loved the Buzzz starting out, but now I prefer the Hex every time

[@lucashenderson2259]

If your looking to get rid of the buzz let me know, I love mine and want a second. Thanks!! Love the content!

[@dustinroberson1865]

Throws great shots with the Buzzz..."I would throw either of these two, but not the buzzz" lol. I hear you. I've always thrown the buzzz really well (especially eliteZ), but there's something about the feel of it that I prefer other mids. I currently throw a Chameleon Core in that slot. Maybe a little more understable than the buzzz, but I don't have an understable mid in my bag. I'm thinking the core would be closer to the flight of that TSA disc

[@redmortensen4066]

I feel like you would probably enjoy the buzz more if you took the time to clean off the flashing the way we've talked about and if you threw it a little more, it's reliability in terms of its stability fits with everything that i've heard you talk about and granted you don't like it. I'm not here to convince you otherwise, but I'm just saying in general it lines up a lot with a lot of other things that you've talked about and that'll be your preferences and that sharpness and the way it feels in your hand does get better when you take the time to dress it

[@kbdiscgolf]

Dude that hex is gorgeous! Just found your channel because the title of this video grabbed my attention. Loving it so far

[@sethjones3941]

I dig the Alfa Discs Apollo, the Addax is sick thou too. Like you said, preference counts🤙🤙

[@matthewwilson3399]

I would have a kid with the hex if I could

[@bearislandjosh5279]

I bag a hex and a twenty year old buzz. Don't have a pathfinder, but I absolutely love the tsa discs I have.

[@johnnyt7074]

I bag a hex and it's my most thrown disc. I love to right hand forehand Hyzer flipping it.

[@discninjas9284]

I haven't thrown the pathfinder at all but as far as hex vs buzz but I think that your spot on with how they fly compared to each other

[@meister-t]

Buzzz-Z is a -1 1, whereas a Buzzz-bigZ is a 0 1 for sure. I've never tried the one you're throwing, but I get way more distance with a Pteranodon than a Buzzz. Update: bought a Pathfinder, and that disc is amazing. Lost the Pteranodon, seIIing both Buzzzes.

[@joeybaker8866]

Just got a HEX and it has easily become my favorite midrange. Just feels good in the hand and is super versatile

[@danielfish1255]

I feel as you might have used the hex wrong. Looking for a fade.... nope not much of one. Matrix... fades. Love the videos. Keep it up! Love the gyro kick!

[@RobMonroe97]

I’m a buzzz guy. A Paige Pierce tour series buzzz was my first ever disc and it has never left the bag. I will say, although I like ESP plastic more than Z line in general, I like Z better for the buzzz

[@ericporter2373]

I ve been using a Buzz on and off for years. I try and replace it but it always ends back up in my bag...very dependable.

[@andrewpeterson3302]

I have the svea and the detour in my bag. They fly fantastic out of the box. No need to beat either of them in.

[@toddkauk6099]

MVP Reactor FTW!

[@jadebotes2128]

The reactor is the king of the Gyro midrange line up...but the Hex is making a claim! Would be cool to see you try some Fission Plastic!

[@Uncle_Muscles]

My aura pathfinder is my go to mid. Theres no question of if its going to turn over or not with the wind and is really fast for a speed 5. My ethos pathfinder is crazy. I can crank my full power on it and can easily smash it 110 meters with a beautiful s-shot shape.

[@i2Shea]

Highly recommend the MANA. Really took me by surprise.

[@Weikka]

I dont have any experience with the pathfinder, but I throw hexes and my friend throws buzzzes. Buzzz seems a bit more stable and the rim does feel sharper and maybe a tad bit deeper.

[@tonyatemple4657]

I know you prefer overstable, but have you tried an RPM piwakawaka? It's like a faster Tui and has crazy glide. Would love to see you try one in a comparison vid!!

[@mikedansky3657]

I have a Hex and a Buzz in my bag (cart actually, I'm old) and I find myself throwing the Hex a LOT more, unless it is a headwind, then for some reason I trust the Buzz more.

[@DeanJayJackmanJr]

Mindbender lessgo! Grats on 6k!

[@bradman91usa]

Pathfinder is my favorite midrange I have I'll have to try those others

[@blazdndazd]

I dig the Wizard shirt, you should definitely check out their plastic. SSS Wizards are my favorite. Throw, putt or turbo, they do it all.

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

shirt came with a shipment of plastic, video coming soon ish lol! I have a lot in the works

[@Daviswilder1]

You're slaying it bro. Keep it up!

[@nickreel2678]

Love the Gateway shirt! Gotta check out some of their plastic!!

[@Koa1989]

I bag a fission hex and a glow hex. I did get a lizottle but decided to keep it for the collection instead

[@123altron]

Buzzz Dimensions: Diameter: 21.7 cm Height: 1.9 cm Rim Depth: 1.3 cm Rim Width: 1.2 cm Hex Dimensions: Diameter: 21.4 cm Height: 1.6 cm Rim Depth: 1.3 cm Rim Width: 1.4 cm Pathfinder Dimensions: Diameter: 21.5 cm Height: 1.7 cm Rim Depth: 1.3 cm Rim Width: 1.4 cm

[@billherrera6386]

Ah not a Fission Hex. Fission Hex is amazing. . MVP has some of the best midranges like the Pryo, Reactor, Uplink, and Paradox as well. Also, MVP makes the molds for Mint and TSA. If you want more stable, Reactor is the way to go.

[@johnsullivan3338]

I think thoughtspace is trying to do what discraft is really good at. The different plastics have different stability levels.

[@KRRT]

I think you should try o midrange battle with your truth lineup vs the hex, a neutron reactor which is one tick more stable, and an eclipse glow reactor which is one more tick again. I swapped the glow reactor for a pyro in my bag cause I wanted more stability for that slot so that's also an option but that starts to move beyond truths into beat up justice territory

[@BillFromAZ]

I mainly use the Hex for forehand mid shots.

[@rynoturtle]

I love the hex, right now I bag the paradox, uplink, and hex. Oh by the way I just got my 2 inner cores from trash panda in today and am loving them.

[@ahsleywithabeard]

The Hex is a go to disc for me! I bag two (just in case).

[@floovenspunker]

I also recommend a Latitude 64 Claymore I have one in Opto that I really like. I just prefer the Hex and Buzzz SS over it. But the Claymore is great.

[@ryosapien27]

If my buzzz didn’t make the shot happen it wasn’t the buzzz. It’s the way i threw the buzzz or I threw the wrong iteration of buzzz. That’s a really important lesson. At some point you just need to commit to 8-10 molds and build the way you play and cycle around those molds. It is funny to watch you kids play the “ find the magic disc game”

[@NoMusicTheory]

Got my first ace with a hex today. Only a 171 foot basket but extremely satisfied none the less. Awesome disc

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

Congrats!

[@NoMusicTheory]

@@BodanzaDiscGolf thanks

[@GolfInHawaii69]

​@NoMusicTheory Which plastic do u prefer for the hex? I'm thinking either neutron or fission.

[@NoMusicTheory]

@@GolfInHawaii69 I don't have the biggest arm and the hex I aced with was neutron and I threw it hard hyzer.. The only fission plastic disc I have experience with is a rhythm and I can make that flip with about he same effort that made my hex hyzer so I'd imagine Fission for a flippier hex.

[@nathansiesel8301]

Keep it up bro! Would love to see review of the new supreme escape against copycats.

[@DiscRespect]

Inchin’ your way to 10K!!

[@jree63]

Need to try the element by gateway and see how they compare to all those

[@shanecollins4800]

The only 2 mids I bag consistently are my 167 gram neutron hex, and 175 gram eclipse reactor.

[@Geo00980]

Funny I'm actually testing these 3 out for my mid spot! But idk what hex or pathfinder you're throwing because my hex is Flippy and hex is more overstable. Buzz flies exactly like you said though!

[@davanillagorilla9210]

Pathfinder is my go to for any midrange shot from 100-300ft

[@metalisit]

Hex is my favorite disc in my bag.

[@michaellarsen7276]

Not sure if it's the discs that you have or how you are throwing them, but I've thrown the Hex and the Pathfinder a lot. The Aura Pathfinder (across multiple discs) is definitely more stable than the Hex overall. I no longer throw buzzes.

[@coreycalamity1395]

go to flounders on pensacola beach in gulf breeze. i lived there for awhile flounders is a awesome restaurant

[@natatortot]

Those P. McBeth Buzzz's definitely tend to be on the more stable side. They throw more like a Roc3 imo

[@danieldziepak6561]

Im jealous you're wearing shorts...I live in Indiana and its been snowing😔

[@JuanJimenez-od1ho]

I’ve played that course 2x. In the summer; a million mosquitoes, but still fun. Yeah, gulf breeze!

[@Decati132]

Bodanza upload when it said 1 min upload with one view? frick yes!

[@prattacaster]

For sure Buzzz has a tad more stability than the Hex and also has a more blunt nose which is why it doesn't glide as much. This makes it easier to control for the giant arms tho. I throw an Emac Truth but really love the Hex as well

[@eikzoon4008]

I would love to see you testing out the Halloween editions buzz instead of the esp . My opinion less stable then the esp just holds the line forever - Halloween buzz lover

[@jcurtisss]

Hex is definitely a great midrange! You should do a review on the Innova jay, I haven’t seen any reviews on it yet on KZbin and compare it to a prodigy m4.

[@danielskyvulstad2700]

I think the Aura plastic from toughtspace is the least stable. When Ethereal and Ethos is more stable. Even on the construct it has -2 in the aura plastic instead of its normal -1

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

I have never thrown Pathfinder so I can't comment on that. Buzzzes I have thrown for almost 20 years, but I don't bag it anymore. Hex used to be in my bag when it came out. In generally Buzzz is more stable than Hex. My MVP' Reactor is closer to Buzzz than Hex. There are a lot of similar midranges. Royal line Trust would be a very good option, if you like Buzzz's stability and want tackier and better plastic. I know many who have replaced their Buzzz with Trust. 1-3 grams in weight has absolutely no impact in stability.

[@i2Shea]

Nice shirt my man!!

[@gld3gld3]

I love my Pathfinder!

[@adamhall5292]

I enjoy my buzz and my wasp. I'll be more than happy to take that buzz off your hands since you're not a fan of it lol

[@patrickfickey3079]

The roc3 in dx plastic is by far the best mid range in my opinion I have tried sooo many mids and none compare to the roc3 in control.. it is the only dx plastic disc I use but it is my most dependable disc

You should try the uv reactive tuff buzzz from foundation disc golf. It feels a lot better then the esp buzzz. A really cool disc.

[@jimmyblundell7600]

You've got friends in KC? Hope to catch you at a course sometime if you're ever strolling through! I'll turn you on to more MVP ;) Also: as others have said, a hex / reactor combo is fantastic. I'm not a buzzz guy either. The hex will beat in to a fantastic flip to slight turn disc. The reactor definitely has more bite, but does not sacrifice much glide at all, and so when you do beat said hex in, you'll love having that reactor there as the slightly beefier compliment. I throw the hex for any midrange I'm not crazy concerned about having to end up to the left with (RHBH). But still, as you've seen, fresh hexes will still fight out.

[@aseamgaming5175]

stop by mobile and try the admiral and play around this weekend

[@discgolf449]

Buzzzes you can crush on it won’t really flip on you. I think it objectively is a straighter, more reliable disc

[@Screeeling]

Neutron Soft Hex will beat in to be VERY straight. If you want one that will continue to be stable, even after it's beat in, try the eclipse glow plastic. I bag both now, since they fly differently.

[@5th-Season]

Where do you get a neutron soft hex? Or even a neutron hex?

[@joshuamoser6496]

Aura plastic is usually not as stable as ethos or ethereal. And it’s 173g. Pathfinder is noticeably more stable than my hex. Mine is a max weight ethereal and it’s little to no turn and a solid 1 to 1.5 fade when new
