I'm just enjoying the discussion where innova and consistency are used in the same sentence...

As long as you don't try to pretend ALL of the other manufacturers don't also have consistency problems. I've seen plenty of Discraft discs that varied as well.

i've had nukes that went from the most understable thing ever, to ridiculously over-stable. I carry multiple comets, because they fly differently.

I myself have also had Many DISCRAFT and LAT 64 Discs that were in no way, shape, or form, consistent. Same Molds, Different discs. Lol.

So, on that note, I got a Blizzard Krait in the Mail yesterday! Out to the practice field I went.............. AND................. It's MORE Stable than the 2 Blizzard Detroyers I have thrown now......
I think I may stop ordering Blizzard Plastic for a little while.

I have found that color has a lot do do with disc flight, I usually go for green/yellow/orange only, with heavy preference to yellow.

Love my tee-devil for stability but didn't get a blizzard tee-devil for it to be over stable. Threw a boss and an Ape and found them to be way flippier than my champ katanas... I don't need them to be flippier... so many inconsistencies.

It is all about the dome with these higher speed discs (of any brand!!!)

So does a higher dome mean more overstable? I got a blizzard katana at Next Adventure last night that seemed to have a flatter top, and I am hoping that it will be more understable.

Yeah, it seems flattish corresponds to less stable - you might also take a look at discussions on PLH (Parting Line Height) if you want to get fancy

I must have gotten lucky because my only Blizzard disc (151 Destroyer) flies EXACTLY like I thought it would. A little crazy with the accuracy, but I'll take it.

As far as consistency, the most consistent discs I've ever bought have been eagles and teebirds. I've had all varieties of wraiths, although now I'm thinking because my sample size of wraiths is the largest.

If I don't like something, I just sell it back to a local store I bought it from. I see it in the same way pro tennis players choose tennis balls before they serve.

all of the destroyers i've thrown have been pretty consistant. I throw them the same as my max weight destroyers, but a little higher in the air.
