I have a couple First Runs. 171 and 168. They both fly super straight but fade decently at the end.

As for a 1st run Force. I hated that disc till I lost all my other drivers. Then I learned it. Now I have to keep two of them.

Nuh uh. Thats ESP crap.
Dude said Z, and I agree, if it aint Z, or Champ, you cant see the sparkly bits well enough.
Same reason I dont like the Iron Arm Sparkle Boss.
Some of us are really picky.

But hey ! Thanks for playin' and please enjoy this lovely parting gift.

Not a good disc to rip too hard. Great finesse disc though.

Just threw my first Nuke 170 esp. Was on hole 14 @ white river. Nice and wide open hole and deep. The nuke went under-stable right outa my hand and went straight in the woods behind 15 blue bench. Started under and went 350+ feet just under-stable with a slight left fade in the last 15 feet of flight. Threw again on 17 blue wich is wide open and flat. This time I went flat as possible and was able to park the basket with-in 1 foot behind. I think thats 420+ feet. seems fast but it has a big lip like a boss and not as much turn in it. I'd rather have a monarch or orc in champ plastic.

I just got my first Nuke this week from Scott Papa. I'm already a huge fan, it's so much nicer to throw than other super long drivers I've thrown, much more forgiving then the Force. It seemed to add about 50 feet to my normal max D with the Surge.

Well I'm still going to wait for the run in Z...it'll happen. Until then I'll stick with my Rogues (very under rated disc).

I think the Rogue is great... it's what I wanted the Surge SS to be.

The Rogue and the Surge SS are the same mold. So what you wanted should have came true. Unless you don't like the Z and FLX plastic.

I'm also waiting for the Z Nuke but I'm throwing the ESP in the meantime.

So they say, but every SSS I've tried was much beefier than the Rogues I've thrown and seen.

And back on-topic, I've thought about trying the Nuke, but I just love my Halos so much... they have a really shallow rim that helps compensate for the super-wide wing, grip-wise.

The Nuke is my longest disc, but its also very hard to control. It stays at home for any serious rounds.

Yeah, the disc does have a learning curve. I've been using it for really nice floaty hyzers in the 350-380 range. I didn't use it once at the DRO. Took it out actually because I didn't want to reach for it.

Thing is money though when you get the good snap and release out of it. Threw one @ St Mary's in the Spokane Valley 416 feet. Was my third throw of the day (first two were Forces, none of which was further then 375). Measured with my buddys range finder that he has for hunting. Think it was a Leopold.

It's definitely more forgiving on release errors then the Force. Still won't replace my Forces though since on average I throw them much further and consistently. One day it'll earn it's spot when I just need to go R-Tard far. IT'S JUST SO DAMN FAST!!! I think it's honestly the fastest disc produced yet. Haven't thrown a Halo yet though.

I was out today compairing my friends rogue to the nuke. The rogue is too under stable for me. The nuke is flat but I can turn it over easy if needed. The rogue is super fast though. I'm gona stay with my champ orc and mabe get a champ monarch.

Untrue. The Rogue is .1 cm taller than the Surge SS and has a .1cm thicker rim. Look at the specs on the PDGA page.
