I have really been digging the Buzzz OS in this slot. Its straighter than my Pyro with a nice stable finish. For more stability though, I love the Pyro and Deflector.
I actually bag a deflector, but not as a primary OS mid. It's definitely more of a utility disc, and I use it mostly for 150-250 ft forehands where I need a skip or my zone just isn't overstable enough. I LOVE how flat it is, you can absolutely RIP on it with a forehand. Awesome disc - just not with the same use case as most of the rest of the mids in this video. Great video as always!
The Streamline Runway is probably the most underrated over stable mid I have ever encountered. Great grip and very controllable. It flies like a long range Zone.
5:13 when I discovered Discraft, I actually liked the idea of the embossing on the inside of the rim. I use it to help my grip, reduce slippage. It's what made me seek out more of their discs (but did not prevent disappointments with some of them not being true to numbers).
That is a "midnight flyer" Quake. You should look up the history of DGAs midnight flyer series, it's pretty interesting. DGA has produced many more of them in the recent years so the one you have for example is a newer run and isn't that rare (but still fun to collect), but the original midnight flyers are quite sought after. There's a website that you can use to tell which generation of midnight flyer you have and what's interesting about them, such as the change in materials used to make them glow, their weights, and how the stamps have gradually changed over the years. The original midnight flyer was one of the first molds of disc golf discs I believe in the late 70s....way before most other disc golf brands were even around!
1010discs is legit and I feel like not many people know about them. Great selection, great prices. I get about a third of the discs I dye from them. Also, while the Deflector is almost comically overstable, I end up throwing it more than a lot of other discs in my bag. Best utility disc I have ever had, and it is surprisingly fast for a mid. Great disc for forced anhyzer forehands.
I have the pyro in my bag ATM. When I go to a course and need something more over stable then I put the deflector in. I have a buzz os that I have been trying out as well.
I was going to buy the md5 but my local retailer had them sell out just the day before I went to get mine. They recommended the pyro to replace md5 and I bought one. I have to say I love that disc after a few rounds. Its very beefy, has great hand feel for sidearms and is very reliable in the wind. No regrets buying it.
I throw the pyro in that slot! I love metal flake c line plastic and I love my discmania but you hit it right on the head with the pyro it's overstable and workable but my favorite thing is that pushing hyzer! It's such an underrated disc in my opinion
I live in a high wind area, and I decided the deflector was too overstable for me as well. Tried the roc3, quake, malta, and the drone. I bag the drone it was exactly what I wanted. The others weren't wind resistant enough to achieve a reliable fade for me.
Not that you need probably need any ideas for new video series, but I had an idea that I thought would be fun. If a subscriber bag is different enough/unique and they want to send you the molds in their bag(not all if they have like beat in versions of things, you'd just do like the stock one). You play a round with discs your subs play with. Series Title: Can Nate throw your discs better than you. Haha. The answer for me is, yeah you'd obviously throw them better than me. This was a great one! Loved the comparisons. I'm currently using an AGL Beech for that slot.
Forehand dominant and I’ve tried everything there except the MD5. That second hole summed up those discs nearly perfectly. Quake and Pyro have workable, reliable overstability with decent glide. Deflector is beefy, almost a better approach disc than a mid. Reminds me of my Vaino A2. Malta doesn’t handle FH torque well. Caiman can’t handle a lot of power, and yes, it feels like a putter.
The quake look like it was trying to flip up some in the throw around 10:10 Also agree, proton plastic feels great. I haven’t thrown the MD5, but shot a review of the Pyro yesterday after losing my Buzzz OS and it was the same. Straight in the bag.
This next week the weather will be strange pretty much nation wide. You have the best disc golf videos and I'm talking better than Simon shhh be humble. The way you appreciate your life and surroundings is inspiring. Keep it up bruh. Jah Bless.
I think this might flip. Pyro: Nah Bro give me the juice. Loved this video as I'm starting to understand overstable mids. I would hit subscribe again if you highlight more DGA - Not enough on RU-vid about these. The Steady BL I held in store felt amazing.
How often do you “smoke” that light pole? I mean, you didn’t on this VLOG, but I’ve seen you whack it a couple times in the past. Great content Nate, honest and concise! 1010 discs def hooked you up!
I had fruity Dino bites for breakfast. I’ve wanted a Pyro for forever but all I currently have is an Eclipse Reactor. Pyro is next in line I think but that metal flake c-line plastic looks amazing though. I might have to snag an MD5.
I go with the Innova Gator3 in this slot. I like the smaller diameter feel and is one of the easiest discs I've ever thrown on a forehand. Super reliable for my game.
1010 looks legit, I didn't know about their site, checking it out now. Yeah, I can't do Champion plastic, feels like a beach toy. Star is my go-to, I'm okay with GStar in a fairway, or DX for any beater disc. I bag a Star Caiman. Breakfast: Millville Fruit Rounds cereal, Hawaiian coffee, and water. Cool seeing all those discs, MD5 is clearly the winner and the best looking. Smash. Have a great weekend.
i bag the pyro and the md5. md5 is a little more os for me. pyro tends to go further about 40 feet further. for shorter courses its nice to have options.
DGA has some really great discs without much overlap. Definitely try out some more. Quake is a great one though, some of the best shots of the whole day with that one.
The Malta seems to be the disc for me out of these, seems more like a backhand OS mid which means my OS mid/approach that fits best on the forehand isn't the same slot and both can co-exist in the midst of the bag! :)
My os mid range is a big z buzzz. I know it’s technically not supposed to be crazy overstable, but mine is board flat and fades like mad. It flies like a zone but with more glide.
I lost my pyro 70ft up in a huge Pine this past saturday and the card behind us knocked it out and his got stuck right where my pyro was. I've had alot of discs cycle in and out but the pyro seems to stay in my bag even when I try to set it free.
I also wasn’t much of a fan of the malta. The Buzzz OS on the other hand is the perfect overstable mid. I pull that out when i need a further flying zone.
Gateway Demon, HyperDiamond is OS forever, Suregrip beats in to an incredibly controllable mid, best I've ever thrown. So Money. For more beef, I go with a Justice.
