    I like slightly understable discs since there's mostly wooded courses around here. My Lucid Vandal is still my fave to throw. It's got the magic numbers for a 9-speed that make it fly forever and it's never gotten too flippy for me.

    I will probably use the River for my turnovers in the future but I just don't trust it to flip at the moment, so until I've expended my Viking Discs Cosmos in Armor and Storm (super dome) I will keep them for that slot. Do mention the diameter on the River! It's larger than most drivers!
    Looking forward to test the green C-Line FD coming this week! Missing the stable flat shot in 7-9 speeds for the moment. ^_^

    that glidey fairway flick shot has been a new things I added this year, lean out and get around some big corners turning left with that understability, then flattens at the end, super helpful to get that shot in your arsenal
