I´ve been thhrowing my Latitude GL Flow 172g for a while. Had some really nice lines and length with it, but it seemed a little inconsistent to me. Perhaps it was me, over torquing it. I´m playing for about a year now.
Then I threw a ESP Surge 172g from a friend and liked it. Now i have two in my bag but didn´t throw it too much yet.
On my last round i gave the Flow another try and was very suprised how long anf straight it flew, with a turnover in a Headwind that really was to neglect.
So, i don´t know it i should keep both molds in my bag.
What do you think, are these quite similar discs? Is there much overlapping?
What is your experience with those two discs?
Thank you!

I agree they are very similar in flight, but mine have subtle differences most likely due to the degree of "break-in". The flow does give me slightly more distance, but not always. I love them both and can't imagine playing without either of them.

What about the Westside Sword with some wind?
Permalink Reply by Rescue on July 18, 2012 at 1:18pm The Flow will not handle headwinds very well and the Sword is OK for a mild headwind, but if it's to windy it will flip for sure. Two solid headwind drivers would be the Halo or Riot. I've tried them both and they work very well witha stiff headwind, but for me. The Good old Teerex is my favorite. I just seem to get more "D" with my Teerex. If you can, I'd see if you could try a buddies Halo or Riot first. Because the Riot has a odd rim to it. It's one of those disc that you either love or hate and there's no in between.

Permalink Reply by david swamp thing black on July 20, 2012 at 10:01pm the flow is slow compared to a surge but goes much further. On a scale from 1-20 id say the surge is a 17 in speed where the flow is a 15. But in glide a flow is an 18 wherein the surge is a 14.
