I think Discraft Overstable discs fly way farther then Innova Overstable discs. Flick over firebird... I flick the Flash farther than anything..but haven't thrown the spectra yet...Wait till I get ahold of that! I do like the Orc cause it flips but always come back...especially on down hill shots.. Putter wise nothing comes close to the Super soft Wizard I've never hit more putts from 30 plus but thats just my opinion.. :lol:

I disagree with that. I have nothing against either manufacturer, but IMHO I will continue to throw my roc over the buzzz or wasp any day. I have thrown the buzzz and wasp and can still make my roc do anything I need it too.

Of Course this is a matter of preference and since I have a Roc that will do what I want, there is no reason to change discs.
I like the buzzz for gentle hyzer shots. My favorite discraft mid would be the MRV. X for turnovers and Z for dead straight. It flies like a rock without the huge grip.

LaRon Who Man Harris took his Roc out of his bag for a Buzzz...that says something.
IMO the Buzzz is the BEST midrange disc around!!
I am sure the Buzzz is good, but why would I want to switch to another disc that I already have that does the same thing. Besides I already have a stack of Rocs waiting for me on backup including a few of the infamous Orange EC Discs. I gotta use them.

I have never tried the predator, I will have to try one.

Like i said my favorite discraft disc is the Z Avenger, otherwise I throw my Pro Wraith farther than any other disc, including the Z Spectra (which by the way is a crusher, just to flippy)

This is an inacurate statement the buzz is faster and glides further than a roc and the Z buzz is a lot more dependable and oh yea cheaper than a ce roc... Come on reeks you know how I was with the Roc, I havent had one on the bag for going on two years now. 8)

I wouldn't even think of comparing a roc to a buzzz. I think the Buzzz is far more stable than the roc. Its also a hell of a lot longer. I can throw a buzzz as far, if not further than my drivers. The Roc on the other hand, would flip 20ft after release. I think the Buzzz is better compared to the "classic cobra" which is longer and more stable than the roc, in my opinon.... of course, alot of it has to do with throwing style.

I say stick with your rocs if they work. I stick with my Buzzz cause its the only midrange I can mostly keep from turning over......

How can you compare a Flick to a Firebird? I just dont see that. I dont think theres any disc close to a flick in overstabuility. Its almost unusable. (Almost...I mean, I carry one).

In my hands. the Firebird is more like a Predator than Flick... [/code]

I tried a Flick, but after a few trees, it turned over into a moderate head wind. Champion Firebird is way more overstable. Did I just have a strange Flick? My Pred is my go to disc into the wind! It goes further than my Champ Firebird, but if it is really blowing, like Hays this year, it's the Champ Firebird into that wind! Just won't flip!

My pred is way more overstable than my firebird. More than my monster too. About the same speed, but the pred is even more predictable. I would say it is a little less overstable than a flick, but I haven't thrown the flick much.

There are a couple of different plastics that the flick is made in.

One is perfect, for what I want the flick for. Long hyzers into strong head winds, and an overstable 2 finger disc.

The other is not nearly as good. The disc is less stable, and I would rather throw the Pred.

Mine is a 150 Class Z Flick....There is flat out, no way I can turn this disc over. Never in a million years...
