Eric, how's that ESP Banger drive/fly compared to a (~gasp~

) Rhyno? Where do you tend to use it in your game?

It flies a lot like a Rhyno, It's very overstable. I use it for upshots, and short range drives. EVERYONE NEEDS A BANGER!

Decided to buy a Banger GT a couple of weeks ago, haven't thrown it but a few times. I just can't get used to the damn thing - I think the groove top may be screwing with me though too...

Is it a ESP? or just a D? The ESP is the better of the two.

All this Banger talk made me wonder.

So, I busted one out and messed with it. Overstable and slow. This disc could have saved me several strokes at the last few tournies.

Get a banger (ESP) and try it.

It's a D...I saw it at (gasp) Wally World and decided I'd at least give it a test run...

I just don't think I can get used to the groove in the top, it's almost too far in to be comfortable for me...

Try a ESP, you can hardly tell it's even there.

Damn... http://www.discraft.com/news_dg061031.html

Hopefully they come out with something to replace it, I was really looking forward to having a faster beefy mid.

They are going to "re-tool" the Torque. It wasn't as overstable as they were wanting.

I thought it was because they couldn't get any consistency from the mold?(some overstable, some not at all.)

So are they gonna stay with the same idea for the disc? As in, a small diameter, fast, overstable mid?

This is a good idea for a disc. I was throwing a demon because no other disc gave me the same flight. The only problem I have is the grip. I swear that I grip-lock that thing every time I throw it.

I picked one of these up with my winnings in the RAC at Rosedale on Saturday and it flipped the first time I threw it. I was hoping for a stable alternative to the Buzzz I keep flipping and was initially dissapointed. I worked with it a little more and I think it will work its way into my bag but it isn't nearly as overstable as I was hoping for. They were calling it a 2.0 to the Buzzz's 0.5. I'd give it more of a 1.0.

I have a red one and it is a very straight flier. If I put a good rip on it, it will flex a little and then come back. I really like it!!

I picked up an ace race disc and noticed there is no bead on it. Mine kinda flies like a buzz glide
