Has anyone thrown any of the blizzards in the 120's. Ive seen a destroyer as low as 124 g. Wondering how they fly and release at that light of a weight?

that being said, I have a 131 boss that screams.

It was Nutz watching that guy put a 133gm Blizzard Katana on a very smooth, slow Forehand line and just watch it flex and comeback at the end. Little effort with a great line and great distance! He could definitely make them work. I sure can't, be he could.

The name on the mold means a lot less for the Blizzard plastic because there is wild variability from disc to disc. Everyone in my family is getting added distance with the lighter wide wing drivers but I'm doing best with Bosses in the 150-155 range and Katanas 155-160. We have about 16 of them right now and we have been passing them around because we all have different stability preferences.

Permalink Reply by Christian Lamb on May 21, 2012 at 12:58pm Yeah these discs do bomb and stay in the air forever. Another thing i noticed is that they will release at the last moment of ur pull through.... If u have had problems w early releases these discs will remedy that.... Great for wooded courses where u have to hit narrow gaps.

On most shots they didn't have any skip in them eith when they faded to the ground. Regardless, with a 130's Destroyer I'm gonna hit 500 feet. Hehehe
Iron leaf. I saw it happen to Micah Dorius a few times at the Steady Ed.

Full power, half power, etc????
I keep hearing that the Blizzard discs are the Shiz for people with LOW Arm Speed. I hear they are Really Inconsistent thrown at High Speed, MOST OF THE TIME.....
The guys I know Personally that can really make a Blizzard work are Low Arm Speed guys.
Permalink Reply by Christian Lamb on May 21, 2012 at 10:18pm I don't think arm speed has anything to do w it. The discs have all different stabilities ranging from the understable katana to the overstable ape. If u have a big arm then throw the boss destroyer or ape and if u have slower arm speed throw the katana teedevil or wraith. All my buddy's and I are throwing blizzards now and getting a lot more distance and control w these discs. I was maxing out at about 350 - 375ft before and now I am throwing a blizzard wraith and katana for about 375 400 ft... W more control and consistency as well. For $14 they r at least worth a try don't u think? ;) Although I must say there is some inconsistentcies in the molds but what else is New w innova. Just know that the domier discs are more stable. Enjoy!!
