They are coming out with the Nuke in ESP and the Nuke SS!!! The Nuke is going to be somewhere between a 1.5 and 1.7 and is fast like the Boss.

Nuke

Nuke SS

A Force is just as fast as a Boss.

Thats not what this is about though. I can't frickin wait for my pre-order Nukes to get here.

The thing that worries me is the S.S. version. 1.6 is stable enough to handle high speeds and still fade.

An S.S. version would probably end up being a massive roller. If it's anything like the Avenger's S.S. version.

I hate it when you big arm players say that my straightest disc is way too understable.

Nukes on ebay

Yes, the Avenger SS is way more understable than the Avenger... but that's not the case with the Surge vs. Surge SS. We'll just have to see how the Nuke SS pans out.

Hehe, I still throw the living daylights out of my S.S. Avengers. Still my goto for tailwinds, tunnels, turnovers and hyzer flips. I love the fact that I can launch it at 60 percent power and still throw 300 plus. It's got soooo much glide its fantastic.

As for the Surge and Surge S.S. I could do without either one of them. I'm not nor will I ever be a Surge fan. Which makes me worry a tad since the Nuke has been compared to a fast Surge.

Still can't wait for them to come though.

I agree 100% with everything you just said, except I can't throw 300 feet with 60% power, hehe, maybe 105% power.

The one's that Barsby has and we've thrown are on the gummy side and a little flippy at high speed but are very comparable to the boss, the two fastest discs out for sure.
Greg and i agree that the best Nukes have yet to come out .... Say a domey, stiff esp would be money.

My putting has been spot on lately, anything under 35 feet is going in right now so who needs distance.

TURBO PUTTING RULES! Team OLY is going down!

Gummy as in more like FLX or gummy as in the new Star blend from Innova that they've been using on the Mako, Dart, San Marino Roc, etc...

Plus, when you were bombing it was it into a wind, with a tailwind or a beautiful soggy day in Portland?

Huh... is this a lack of consistency in their plastic or in their manufacturing process, ya think?

Meh... either way it just shows that the lack of consistency is true at ALL disc manufacturers and not just the best one, Innova.

Nice try, Sam. This has nothing to do with consistency. The "SS" designation just means slightly different things for different models; they never claimed that a Surge SS and an Avenger SS would differ from their ancestors by exactly the same amount (whatever that would mean).

LOL
One would think if they use a designation on their discs that that designation would mean something. I guess you are saying that in the Discraft world that this is not the case meaning the lack of consistency is in the standards used to classify their discs.

SS = Super Straight (which translates to flippy).

This is absolutely NOTHING like Innova putting an -L designation on their discs.
