This isn't conclusive.

Although I do believe that the Rogue and Surge SS may be slightly different molds, the difference you are citing could be variations in the way the different plastic cools.

So the nukes I have are first run stamped. They have a pretty normal looking wing for a fast driver. Mostly flat but just slightly concave. A friend of mine just got one at next adventure a couple weeks ago that does not have the first run stamp. The wing is much different. It has a little bit of a convex profile. Doesn't look right, doesn't fly right.

Anyone else seen what I'm talking about? If all the regular production esp nukes are coming out like that I don't think I am gonna want any.

My regular production nuke is exactly the same as my proto memorial nuke.

That's a relief. I'm hoping this funny looking one is just some sort of one time aberration. I'm still curious if anyone else has come across any, because if I mail order any nukes and get those I will not be stoked. Take a look at the rim before you buy from NA though, cause you want to make sure it's a good one.

I have replaced a boss or two in my bag with the nukes. They fly just as far as a boss with about half the power/snap. At least for me that is. Up until i got this disc i could never reach hole 10 at Arlington . I don't really know how far that is but it is 420+ for sure. I would recommended them to anyone who has not tried them.

Finally Discraft answers the Boss.

Moedawg is my border collie Moe's nickname also. He's a damn good disc shagger for practice sessions.

I have a dog that is half border collie. It's barks a lot, nips at people for no reason, steals my beer if I set it down, and pisses all over my friend's disc. Actually, it reminds me a lot of you Steve. I always wondered where you got that nickname....

Scott has a bunch of nukes at the dalaiwood pro shop, I'm sure there are a few that are 170.

well ive had one the nuke is understable at high speeds and overstable at low speeds great glide but hard to control at high speeds it is by far a long driver but if you have a big are you need to hyzer flip the disc other then that it is a great disc me still i like my force long and overstable so i can torque the shit out of it without worrying about turning it over to much,but the nuke does have more glide then the force this attribute i like in the nuke but all around great job by discraft

The most luck, yes luck, I've had with mine is throwing it forehand. And I really don't have a forhanded throw, but this disc is looking promising...
