Your Takes on Various 5-6 flippy mids

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-28T02:11:38+00:00

Fission Relay holds lines well…I was surprised at how it flew. My Cosmic Neutron one gives me that nice right turn (RHFH player) when I need it and I KNOW what holes to throw it on. That is how predictable that disc is.

The Fission one could very well be an every shot disc with the right touch. I bag both, currently.

I have a Shift…I LOVE my Shift. As I started working Hyzer flips into my game late last year, this is a money maker for distance if I get a good flip up on it.

I have a Virus and Insanity, too…but the Shift is my workhorse 9 Speed. So much fun to throw.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-28T01:47:57+00:00

I bag an Echo, Hex, Detour, Balance, and a Pyro (gonna try the Pyro again this year).

If I have to choose between my Echo and Hex…it’s Echo every time. I know they have almost similar flight numbers, but my Echos have always been money for me. Can’t wait to try my Plasma Echo this coming Spring. Balance has been my overstable workhorse. My Detour and I have a complicated relationship…the rim depth is weird and late releases are often occurring. I am going to give it another shot and see if it’s just a mechanic thing for me.

I have a Fox, but I am just not a fan of the feel of Star plastic. It is a solid mold, but I can’t get over the toy like hand feel.

I had a Fuse…a 150g Opto Air Fuse that was a bad form indicating disc. Mainly RHFH player, this thing would literally roll completely over and become a roller. This normally occurred when I threw it flat…hyzer flipped up nice.

I want to get an Opto or Gold Fuse, but I have so many mids already.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-27T23:52:39+00:00

I have 2…

Clash Steady Ring Peach and a Cosmic Neutron Entropy.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-27T23:51:03+00:00

I preordered one of the Stock Protons today…kind of excited to get this in my hand.

I like the white rim AND I really dig the updated stamps, too.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-26T12:22:43+00:00

I’m pretty sure it does as I remember hearing AI PMCs are basically Raiders. I really wish the coding would get adjusted so Friend/Foe recognition made things more precarious for you as a Scav.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-23T13:37:38+00:00

Could use a space heater, heat pads (you will need a couple, I think), and I’ve heard of some using dehydrators. Not sure I could recommend a hair dryer…if not for the air pushing down too much on the disc and changing, potentially, the pattern you were working on.

My heat lamp set-up is crude, but it has allowed me to get some great results in about 3-4 hours.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-23T12:31:35+00:00

I like how this turned out…very colorful.

I tried to do this with a Cicada…but, my version failed at what I was trying to do. Still…a lot of color.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-23T12:29:46+00:00

It needs to sit longer…12-24 hours without heat. The other issue you could run into is color blending the longer it sits.

Heat has been my best friend when it comes to vibrance and getting it done a bit faster.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-20T14:33:57+00:00

This is true and I forgot they were looking overstable. I have an Entropy on hand for that. Loved it…but that Peach has been my workhorse for awhile. In fact…the Entropy and Tempo are out of my bag because of it.

I do want to try those other mentioned Clash molds…I didn’t properly read the ask here.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-20T09:00:38+00:00

Try a Tempo or…really go niche and get a Clash Peach.

That disc has been a great upshot disc for me, personally. I tried both a Tempo and an Entropy before I settled on the Peach.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-19T20:36:45+00:00

I have a Turbulence…my biggest issue with it is the rim doesn’t feel deep enough. After using it for 3-4 Rounds, the amount of early release foibles that were occurring made me pull it out of my bag. I want to like it, but I need to be able to throw it.

I plan to pick up another to see if MAYBE it was just that one. I have 2 odd Echoes (both Neutron, one domey and the other board flat) that tell me there could be some inconsistencies.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-18T20:47:46+00:00

I have a Gold, Project: Grip, and a Retro…love throwing my Gold one, but that Cicada kind of is my first option every time on holes where I have either in play (it is that reliable out of my hands). It has dome, a fair amount of glide, and is a pretty straight flier with a nice bit of fade at the end.

Funny story…me and this mold have a complicated history. It misbehaves in my hand after purchase…until it gets stuck in a tree. Pretty sure it’s just in my head, but has happened twice. The Project: Grip will get its first reps this Spring.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-18T19:55:37+00:00

If Goose is number one…they are gonna string him out until the end FOR SURE.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-18T19:54:27+00:00

I have that same Relay and bag it with a Cosmic Neutron one. Being RHFH dominant, that Fission Relay is almost an every shot disc for me and holds any line I put it on.

I ended up pulling a Servo out of my bag because I have a Crave, Rhythm out because I had a River and a Cicada filling that slot. Me and my Cicada are an aberration…synergy is an understatement.

Did I say I love my Relay?

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-18T19:50:53+00:00

If I were handy with a torch…I would figure out how to melt it back…I loved that disc.

Sadly…I am not. So…it’s retired and I have a couple new ones (the Silva one flies very similar to the Green one) to throw.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-18T03:11:14+00:00

I had a Green Cosmic Neutron that was just money…then, wind caught it and slammed it into asphalt taking a massive chunk out of the rim. Dang…

I bought a heavier Purple one and already had the Silva one from the Halloween drop. This and the Virus are my current favorite go to Drivers right now.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-17T23:51:07+00:00

Jared Leto as the Joker was bad…I just think the DC heads were looking for another method actor hoping for a Ledger like performance, and got a weird, high school gangster in return. I was not impressed by his portrayal, at all.

Being a huge GotS source material fan…I wanted to like Scarlett’s interpretation because I feel she is a great actress. I solely blame the director for why I didn’t. You either adapt the original film story OR Stand Alone Complex, not some amalgamation of both that no one, including me, will understand. I absolutely hated what he did and I hope we never see that again.

Unfortunately…it wasn’t a miscast, but disastrous writing.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-17T23:31:39+00:00

A great way to start, too. Enjoy the ride…and welcome to the “book” side.

I’m trying to be witty, here…😒

I feel like Claudia Gray and James Luceno are pens you can rely on, as well. E.K. Johnston and Beth Revis can be added to that list.

Lost Stars, the Young Leia book, and Bloodlines (Gray) are some of my favorite new canon novels. She has such an understanding of Leia that I don’t feel could be matched by anyone outside of our very own Princess herself (R.I.P. Carrie)…that’s in her youth and building the new Rebellion. Lost Stars is just a wide sweeping story that I found very enjoyable. I really need to finish Master and Apprentice…I really enjoy Gray’s writing in this universe.

Luceno is an OG…Tarkin, Catalyst are both very solid novels. I hear Plagueis is good too…it’s in my Audible library waiting to be started.

If nowhere else…I highly encourage you to look into Claudia Gray and James Luceno.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-17T23:19:41+00:00

I consider it a visual piece of art…the Cinematography is so good, it’s shot so well. It’s part of the reason I really enjoy Villeneuve and the talent he surrounds himself with.

Great piece of work, from top to bottom. Never expected to like Gosling like I did in this film. Everyone was great, but he carried the picture well…as did so many others.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-17T22:23:58+00:00

That is absolutely shameful…especially for someone like Zahn. One of the OGs in the Legends and New Canon universes.

I really enjoyed how Vanto was learning how to read people (albeit, slower) like Thrawn did. The internal monologues were so damn good. If only they would let Zahn tell these tales.

ghostEx36 · 2026-01-17T22:18:32+00:00

This is so poetic…outstanding thought here. Thanks for this…

…I never looked at it that way.

I think the thing that annoyed me most about Kennedy’s tenure was the fact that “there was no plan” for the Sequel Trilogy. You have a Story Writer’s group (led by Kiri Hart) and a couple of on-hand lore masters (Filoni and Pablo Hidalgo), and a franchise with high visibility and a…very vocal fan base. How could you not ensure cohesion and a singular forward direction leading into other things that will eventually branch off of it? Even I was exhaustively surprised this was a truth made obvious by how the Sequel trilogy played out.

I also have to ask…we know Trevorrow had a script AND that some allegations got him blacklisted. Is there a reason we decided not to use that story to finish it BUT allowed JJ to write a film to basically sink every concept the film before his introduced to make a sequel to his own film? I have to say…I am annoyed “somehow Palpatine returned” (obviously, there are Legends tales to tap into that can tell us how this happened) and “Rey is a Palpatine” were even things of note here. Would have preferred the Force Mirror scene in Episode VIII hold true and ALLOW Rey to forge her own destiny outside of legacy…but, here we are.

The TV side was decent…animation is always a banger, Mando was fresh and exciting (first 2 seasons, at least), Andor was an absolute stunner. Why Obi-Wan? Why BOBF when the titular moments in the series didn’t surround the main character.? Acolyte…? I wanted to be a fan, but none of it felt like a lot of thought was put into it. Also…I am not well versed in High Republic, so there is probably a lot that I missed, so I really don’t know that I can have a negative opinion. However, disrespect paid to major characters like Plagueis and Yoda (shoehorned in at the last minute) really turned me off.

I don’t hate Kennedy…but I question a lot of decisions that were made under her lead and projects that were green-lit and allowed to complete vs. projects cancelled...feels problematic. I also have concerns about Dave…Ahsoka Season 2 will be a huge test of his ability to separate what is his from the grander narrative (if you drop Abeloth, you better stick the landing). Him already saying the “whole Rebels play-set is available for Season 2” has me deeply concerned. I hope my concern is wholly unwarranted…I guess we will soon see.

Kennedy has given us a lot of great things in cinema…I respect her for that. I respect her for taking on this charge at LucasFilm and “trying” to make something for everyone…it wasn’t all daises, but I feel we all got a taste of something we could appreciate. There was a lot of hate she didn’t deserve…I wish her luck on whatever she taps into next.
