Hah! I wish Poseidon had brought that to me. That would've been way cooler then going to the store and purchasing it myself. I like them both in Gold Line and Opto plastic. I think I'll be sticking with the Opto though as they take longer to beat in.

I love the Trident! It's such an underrated and under appreciated disc in their line up. I really compare it to a driver version of a Gator. Super duper overstable, super predictable, no glide. I did hear through the grape vine that they will be discontinuing the Trident, XXX and the Blitz due to lack of sales

Panic Buy moment. I have two of each (XXX, Trident), I should buy more....

Blitz I can live without, the Giant and Villain fill that gap for me.

I wouldn't go buying them all yet, I just emailed Tomas to see if the rumor is true, hopefully it isn't

The Opto trident is the closest thing on the market to the old Pro Line Monsters, it's pretty money!

i have been trying to move my wifes' mids up in weight
she was throwing high 140s

she now has a pro-d 169 drone, pro-d 162 buzzz, and a Z 166 glow buzzz

but is still using a 148 dx stingray for the understable slot
i have been looking at getting her a 159 pearl to replace it

has anyone used the pearl?


by the way, i'm still loving my diamond

yes Pearl feels great -- my son and I threw a few at the GSO this year.

Recently though -- I picked up a Warship in the 166 weight -- PInk disc. PERFECT mid range straight line flyer -- I mean STRAIGHT. 6501 are the numbers and it performs!

Scales, Chains and Laura can atest to the performance from this weekend!

i like my diamond but i wish it was a tiny bit heavier and had a touch more fade
so... looking at the chart, i bought a 166 opto vision
cant weight to throw it and see if its as perfect for me as i am hoping
it will be interesting to see how it stacks up against my new valk
here is the comparison on inbounds

Got to throw a few, before I set up for glow
the vision sure flew nice, and feels great in hand
The new 168 pro Valk seemed a little more stable and had a little more fade
will need more time to be sure, had a small off and on headwind which may account for the results being off
No matter what I liked it.

this morning i used the vision for most of my drives off of the tee
when i finally got a good hard (for me), flat, throw
it flew just like i had hoped for
a nice big/long S-turn

The disc I truly have been waiting on is Gold Line Spikes. I need them now!

Sinus will not make legal weight in premium plastic. It may be seen in the Opto Air plastic one day but there are no plans for premium Sinuses . The factory regrind Pures are awesome and are mostly Gold Line in the blend.

Why do you say that?

Is the rim edge too shallow on the Sinus to use 180 weight and meet PDGA Specs?

The Spike rim is darn close to that depth too.

I have not seen any recycled line up close, and was reluctant to get a renamed EZE "Easy-E" plastic. Is the recycled more like a Goldline?

The recycled is a lot like Gold Line but slicker. It does mold with more dome then regular Gold Line though.

As for the Sinus something about the way the premium plastic molds that won't let the Sinus mold to spec without being overweight.
