My preference for the Blizzard Katana is right around 150 and I have near medium armspeed - maybe a little faster than average.

The Recycle Line look like Gold Line but the feel is hard to pin down. They are beefy feeling overall but plastic has a good amount of give to it so your thumb can sink in nicely. Definitely not as stiff as stiff DX or Zero Line Hard.

Yeah they look nice and grippy too. Is the Zero Line Pure Gold you have in stock soft or hard
Jun. 16, 2013, 4:12pm
Joe G 5740
The Zero-Line Soft Pure is probably the closest to those old flippy XDs.

Then there is the latest from Discmania - made by Innova - the P3 Putt and Approach. Pretty much is an XD with a lower dome than the XD plus but not quite flat and a slightly more blunt leading edge. They feel like a sweet XD in the hand. Made out of real nice DX plastic too for the 1st Runs anyway.
Jun. 16, 2013, 1:01pm
Joe G 5740
Well there are a few nice alternatives. 1st there is the Lat64 Pure - its a great XD and even comes in high-end plastic like Opto and the new Recycled Gold Line - Great Disc. There is also the Judge - like a Pure or XD with a bead so a bit more stable but same great feel.
Jun. 16, 2013, 12:59pm

Can you think of anything similar to the DX XD Flat flexible low profile grip...
Jun. 16, 2013, 12:56pm
Joe G 5740
I love a beat XD. I love em new and half beat too for that matter. The more beat in the greater the turnover shot I use it for. Those things are MONEY...

Thanks Joe. The flat gummy XDs were such a great disc once worn in. Unfortunately the one I own is a bit too worn.
Jun. 16, 2013, 12:27pm
Joe G 5740
Actually we have a shortage of DX XDs around here right now Dave. Hopefully we will get some more as soon as Innova makes them again. Right now they are in short supply.
Jun. 16, 2013, 12:18pm
Dave
Do you keep anymore DX XDs in stock or just the XD Plus
Jun. 16, 2013, 11:46am
Joe G 5740
Those are Pinnacle Edition Andy.

All-new Latitude64 Recycle Line has just arrived. We will be adding them online soon. Very limited supply. If you need something specific just give us a call. The Gold Recycled Pures are AWESOME -.-

One of the farthest flying discs for lower armspeeds is the lightweight Beast - either a Premium DX or one of the new Champion Blizzard Beasts. Lat64 Diamond - OPTO Air Bolt - VIP Air King - 150 Pro-D Avenger SS also work great

For those unfamiliar with Discmania, it represents a collaboration between Innova and Finnish Pro disc golfer Jussi Meresmaa. The discs are manufactured by Innova, but until recently they were only available in Europe. They make a complete line of discs from putters through distance drivers. Most of the discs are new, using existing Innova mold pieces combined with new tops or wings. To this point, the PD is their most popular disc.

The PD is a combination of a Firebird wing and a new top that all Discmania drivers share. With a profile that is reminiscent of an Orc with a slightly smaller rim, it feels very comfortable and well balanced in the hand. Available currently in P (pro) and S (star) plastics, Innova has also stated that in the near future the PD will be available in C (champion) plastic as well. One limited CFR run of Champion PDs has already been made. I'm lucky enough to have been able to throw all three. This review will consist of a description of PDs in general, and then a review of the disc in each of the three plastics.

While not among the fastest of today's drivers, the PD is still a pretty quick disc. On Discmania's website the disc is rated a 10 in speed. Considering this is the same speed as an Orc, I don't think the PD quite holds to that. I would rate it more of a 9.5. It is a bit faster than speed 9 discs such as the Valkyrie, Viking, or Firebird. Flightwise it is closer to a Teebird than any other disc. When thrown flat it locks onto a perfectly straight line with a strong fade coming late in the flight. If thrown with slight hyzer, it flips up just enough to penetrate forward as it pulls harder left. Thrown with anhyzer, it holds the right turn for a time before predictably flexing out and fading. Due to the increased speed, it flies farther than the Teebird, and finishes a little harder as well. All versions handle wind pretty well. The PD's flight action is also more predictable and consistent than you can get with a faster disc. It also has a unique ability to fly straight at a variety of speeds, so its as easy to power down as it is to crank on. Distance-wise, I can surpass 400' with the PD if I really rip it, but I use it more for shots in the 340'-390' range.

The PD has become my main driver, largely due to its availability in several plastics, and I often carry 3-6 of them. The P- PD (pro) flies the least stable out of the box. It has a long, straight flight, with a predictable fade at the very end. Over time it breaks into a super straight flyer, holding any line. Eventually, with enough punishment, it becomes a turnover disc. The P-PD in my bag has seen about 4 months of heavy use, and it is now about the stability of a Sidewinder, but it is more predictable and consistent. As most experienced golfers can tell you, Innova's pro plastic has the best glide and flies the farthest compared to their other lines, so its not surprising that the P the longest version of the PD. The S-PD (star) starts out a good deal more overstable than the P version, and takes a lot more wear to break it in. It might be my favorite if I had to choose because it has the perfect combination of grip, durability, glide, and versatility. The one in my bag is 4 months old and is still slightly overstable, yet workable enough to throw on many different lines. It also still holds up well in moderate winds, where the P version I tend to put aside when it gets gusty. My C-PD (champion) is the most overstable and wind resistant of them all. It holds the angle you release it on for about 2/3 of the flight before it starts fading hard.

All in all, the PD is one of the best discs that most people have never thrown. Right now we have S-PDs in at the store, and soon we should have the P-PD as well. If you want a disc that can do the job of a Firebird, Teebird, Eagle, Orc, Viking, and Starfire all wrapped into one, get a couple PDs.
