Good point. One of the big factors that has made me switch to the Hex is that it is able to handle my forehand a bit better when I get off torque with out it being an overstable disc as well as it just being a great feeling disc when I throw backhand.

I love midranges with more glide (such as 6 like a warship), it feels easier to throw with less power while still achieving the distance and accuracy. Also, the midranges that have a turn rating of 0 are easier to throw more consistently without turning them over because with slower discs it is sometimes too easy for more beginner players to throw it too powerfully and the disc turns over and flies super right.

@@meb212 i assume you are using discs that have flight numbers. Ill take the buzzz for an example. Its a 5 speed. Now when i throw a 5 speed disc like a driver it will act understable. It will do that because you put too much speed on it. A midrange will fly a long way when you put less speed on it. Throwing mids you should cocentrate more on the spin the disc gets and the angle, not as much on the power. Just try throwing it with different power and you will see results. Another way is throwing it max power and hyzer flipping it. Search that on youtube

@MaxLBogue

2 жыл бұрын

@@meb212 The faster the disc moves, the more it wants to tilt into its spin and turn. Throwing a flippy disc on a flat line will bring out the turn it has, but it's often too intense to hold the line for very long in the air, and you'll turn and burn into the ground. To fix this, start the disc out with the outer rim angled slightly downwards as you release (for RHBH, the left side of the disc would be lower than the right side). This is called a Hyzer release. The disc will naturally flatten out if the angle you chose was right for the amount of turn it has. This is called a hyzer flip. Some shots call for a hyzer flip, others prefer a reliable, neutral disc thrown flat. Hyzer flips can be used to precisely tune the line of a shot, and discs can even turn over and glide right for a portion of the flight to achieve maximum distance even on a hyzer release. Each disc will acquire at least a small amount of turn over time as it gains more scratches and dents, but depending on the mold, beating it in can drastically change the flight properties, so the hyzer flip is a really important tool regardless of your arm speed or which molds you use.

The Emac Truth is my go-to mid. I bought one just to try it out and having never held one prior, it's just perfect. The concave rim on the warship is uncomfortable, the rounded rim on the mako3 makes me lose confidence in my grip. The buzz is too shallow, the warship is too deep. The Emac just balances itself in between everything, and it's flight is perfectly predictable. Design one like that, but maybe with some softer edges like MVPs reactor or hex.

Axiom Hex has been my favorite mid since it came out. I'd love something very similar in terms of diameter and profile, as the flatness of the Hex makes it comfortable for sidearm as well. But if possible, I'd love your disc to be slightly more understable. That might already happen by just not having a GYRO rim, but anyway I think that's the kind of disc we don't have on the market. Dead straight (also with slightly lower armspeed), flat top, yet still glidy. I know that's a difficuly combination but I think the Hex is the closest thing we have right now.

My go to mid at the moment is the buzzz in different plastics for different flights. I like my mids flat and straight flying with just a bit of fade when thrown flat. It's so cool to follow your journey in designing new molds. 👍

If I could somehow combine the Royal Grand Trust and the Axiom Hex that would be the perfect midrange. I think the Hex is a touch more round than I’d like and the Trust is a touch sharper, something in between would be PERFECT

Great video! Much love!

My go to straight mid for years now has been the MD3. So excited to get my hands on the new one they are putting out

I love the DD, Truth. It feels great in hand and it has a flight that is consistent.

For my mids I use a Buzzz when I want that predictable left finish, my Mako (I have the original one and the 3, but throw the old one more) when I want it to basically fly straight all the way to the ground, and my Tursas when I want a right turn on a backhand throw. It is nice to have varying stabilities but if I had to pick just one, it would probably be the Mako. Personally I don't want a bead on a mid because I'm going to grip it like a driver instead of like a putter. I do like the taller/thicker rims, but also like the rounded edges it will be interesting to see what you end up testing!

I picked up a couple of lighter Hex Neutrons after viewing your video. After one round I removed my Mako3 and Roc3 from my bag. I have slower arm speed and the Hex gets to flat so easily and holds that straight line so predictably that your confidence grows with it very quickly. Thanks for the review and for recommending this awesome approach disc.

I like the shallowness and roundness of the Origin. I just wish it was slightly more stable. I tend to turn it over too much, but I love the feel in my hand.

I love the Compass and Fuse by Lat 64, as well as the hex. They all fit the bill for versatile mid so, so well.

First off, love the music selection on this video! My dream mid is a dead flat top with a shallow rim, no bead, small diameter a la sol or malta, and a sweet stamp. Everything is negotiable except the stamp.

For the first couple years of playing disc golf, I never liked throwing mids. They just never seemed to leave my hand right... but that all changed when the Hex came out! I absolutely love this disc! Smooth release every time and straight flight!

Love the feel of star or esp plastic in a midrange. Rounded edges like a buzzz or mako 3 as well. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

I like my mids to be beadless with minimal fade at the end. Shallow also feels great. Great video and good luck with the new mid!

I love mid ranges. I bag way to many. Ahhh here we go: Z Sol - the under-stable queen. Heyzer to turnover glides and finishes smoothly right. Z Buzz SS - Anhyzer boms will hold the anny and not fade where I wouldn’t throw the sol because it would turn into a roller or dump. Champion Shark 3 - was a super straight flier till it beat it, super glidy will S curve beautifully and get good distance. My straightest hyzer to flat disc with a straight finish. Buzzz - Similar to my Shark, will hold any line you put it on but can flip up like the shark, tbh I’ll throw this when I don’t want to loose my shark LOL Kc Pro roc - supposedly over stable, but not really. I feel like Innova mids are less stable than what the numbers say. Will still try to flip up, straight flier with a more aggressive finish. Champion roc 3 - will glide farther than my kc pro roc, very minor turn when released flat. Good glide, good distance reliable fade. Z Buzzz OS x2 - two of these in my bag one more beat in than the other but I LOVE THIS DISC. Crank it as hard as you want, this will hold the heyzer, won’t flip to flat. Super predictable, great flying disc. Discmania Mutant - basically a tilt midrange. Super over stable, dumps extremely hard. Buzzz OS takes care of everything but in case I need something that just hooks and dumps left fast. This is it. And a zone because who wouldn’t bag a zone. Putters - P2 x3 throwing putter is a Link x2 FD I have like 4, DD I have two 😅.

I used to have a dead flat top Emac Truth that was the most comfortable straight flyer I've ever owned. Lost it off a griplock, can't find another one since, but that dead flat disc with the Truth rim is perfect to me. Something flat with a nice radius.

I grabbed a Innova Mako3 in Champion plastic this week and it feels so good in my hand.. flies very straight with the smallest fade on the end. 🥏💨 Highly recommend.

cool video, dude! Love your stuff! Looking forward to seeing your discs! As for straight-flying midranges, I prefer something with a shallow depth and with a top that is on the flat side (but a little dome is okay too). But I don't know if that affects the flight. I REALLY am always needing a disc that flies super straight with almost no fade.

I got into the midrange game about a year ago and have tried a fair number (Mako3, Buzzz, Shark, Roc, Pathfinder) and when I threw the Hex I was blown away by how easily it came out of my hand. Now I notice what I hadn't before in the others-some sort of hang, hitch, scrape, something during release. The Hex just disappears from hand. I will say that all of these midranges have flown super straight for me, so as far as how they fly-they all go beautifully. But the Hex is the nicest to throw. The only thing I would change is make the outside plastic super durable because it hurts me every time I hit a tree with the thing. Also, as a designer I really appreciate the graphic design of the ThoughtSpace discs-I want every one of them.

I am primarily an Innova thrower. The Roc3 is my favorite feeling disc and the feel alone gives me the most confidence in my throw, and the consistency I get from that is amazing. I also have the mako3 and I love its straight flight and I can even use it for shots that fade right. The only problem with the mako is that, at least on mine, the rim ends In a sharp edge that isn't too comfortable. If you can somehow blend the depth, bead, and overall feel of the roc3 with the roundness, dome, and straightness of the mako3 you got yourself a disc that's going directly in my bag.

You way to unappreciated! You deserve more followers bro.

I love my Lucid Emac truth and Neutron Hex. A blend of those two would be amazing. I also like the over stability of the Malta which allows me to really crank it and not over power it.

First off super pumped. Love the way the Matty O disc flew

Torque resistance is key to me in a midrange. I like to be able to throw a midrange at a strong arm speed when I don’t have the confidence to throw a fairway or driver on a hole. Thanks for asking the community Jesse!

When judging a midrange, the primary factor I look at is stability. As an NC woods golfer, I am a huge fan of understable midranges that I can release cleanly and work angles with. Personally, I have never been a huge fan of buzzzes or truths since, due to their finish, they require much more height control--whereas with an understable mid I can throw it high and let it ride straight. Rim depth in the 1.3-1.4cm range seems to offer the most control when coupled with a thinner rim width of ~1.2cm. For reference, after trying most midranges on the market, I use a champion mako3 as my staple. This is an awesome idea, can't wait to see what comes out of it even if it's nowhere close to my ideas!!

Love the hex, great feeling disc all around. Like the glide on the Warship and Svea.

I also recently fell for the Axiom Hex and the thing that stands out for me is that the rounded but tapered wing shape fills my hand in the most comfortable way I have felt from a disc without simply being a round blob like the Mako3. No bead, medium diameter, and especially no flashing or sharp edges like you see a lot with Prodigy. I think making something that is on the straighter side out of the mold would be better than something that naturally pushes an understable line to avoid it breaking in badly with consistent use. If you could combine the feel and shot-shaping flight of a Hex with the distance that a Westside Warship can push, you would have something a cut above the rest.

Woah, I drove right by another round dg on my way to hockey at the promenade and had no idea they were there! Definitely going to stop in next time!

The AGL Magnolia in the Alpine Hemp Blend plastic is absolutely on point. Feels great in the hand, holds a lot of torque, and wants to fly forever! My pick for sure.

Bit late here, love the hex myself. I threw a Mako3 when I first started out but it beat in to hella understable. I'm also a big fan of the RPM Piwakawaka, straight to understable flight, low profile, everything I want in a mid range that I can power it and get it to go right (at least when it's beat in, I find RPM starts out more stable than numbers suggest). Anyways I like low profile/flatter discs they fit my smaller hands better.

Hands down my favorite mid is an md3. The musts for me when choosing a mid are: flat top, mild shoulder, flexible flight plate, and a 1.4 rim. If it's going to double duty as a forehand disc, smaller diameter is a huge bonus. Give me a small diameter md3 and it goes in the bag immediately.

Definitely hex! Also dig the music!

I'm a element fan for hitting any angle but also love the buzz for hard flick forehand

I just got me a HEX and I’m telling ya I love the way she flys!!!!

I love the DGA aftershock. Its not straight out of the gate but beats in beautifully. I prefer a bead or microbead but its all about how it flies for me

Hex is de wey! I just got one and absolutely love it. I’ve used an EMac Truth and a Buzz. The emac felt great in the hands, while the buzz didn’t. The Buzz held every line I put it one while the Emac didn’t. Hex is the perfect in between

The Warship was the first midrange I ever bought and I gotta say I love it. Hands down my favorite disc I own

Durability is a major part of how I pick my midranges. Typically they're thrown in smaller fairways or where touch/shape is needed. This means lots of trees and turns after the stability starts to fade out. That's why I love the svea. It doesn't have so much turn that it can't be compensated to stay straight, and having no fade makes it extremely predictable. The power level is very familiar for almost every midrange.... but the #1 factor that nobody really brings to light with midrange discs, is glide. The Svea is an extreme glide midrange. Very rarely do you see a disc with higher glide rating that it's speed without any fade. This produces flat, stable flight that you can predict, and shape to do what you need it to. It's the ultimate disc to use for any shot. If there was a disc you'd need to try and copy, it's the Svea.

hell yeah I've been waiting to see my Addax show up! the double bead is kindof a weird one. glad its finally getting some use!!!

My favorite mid for forehand was the lat 64 fuji but they discontinued it. I recently bought a pathfinder and might be one of the most underrated mids flys like my mako but doesnt run off line as easily. So something like the pathfinder would be epic.

I love the Wasp for a nice flex line out of the box, but once beat it it flips up straight with that reliable fade with glide for days.

I love my origin for any straight shots. I normally have to fan grip because rim is so shallow, but still an excellent disc. The hex is a great feeling disc too, and dead straight

I bag a Truth and a pathfinder glow. Used to have an origin too. Something in between those 3 would be interesting in my book I liked all 3 for very different reasons and the all did me good on their own way. Good luck Jesse I'll be picking up what ever you put out interested in tossing a recycled mid in next season's tournaments!

I have pretty dry hands, so more of a base plastic grip helps with control a lot. I usually fan grip mids and the slicker premium plastics sometimes slip out early. My go-to is DX Roc which has great grip and feel for me, and a good stable/straight flight. I generally throw backhand and like the bead for that and don't mind some dome.

I honestly can’t say anything Jesse my putters do the magic of the mid range for me, unless there is a huge head wind. And the drone from Discraft Makes the magic happen! I know it’s not a straight shooter! But love it. I’m super happy your designing a mid range you go Jesse!!!

Mostly flat top, medium depth & fade. Flight numbers 5/5/0/1 are ideal because thrown hard it will go straight without turning over but still have enough fade to come back at the end. The Compass, Chariot & even the Emac Truth all fit this really well to me! I’ve throw all of these for fairly hard left turns, flex lines, straight flights & even turnovers that will go right then straighten out. I think if you get something in that area you will be looking at a solid disc!! Keep up the good work!

Take three of my favorite mids from that stack that all have distinct features I like (Ex. Flat top, shallow rim, rounded edge) and do some mixing of those features to create 3 new mid designs. Then Print out just the edge (similar to the flight towel pieces) to test the feel and tweak it. After I get three I like the feel of I would prototype the full disc to test flight then tweak dimensions from there to adjust stability and flight. Then just keep narrowing down until you get the perfect design!

I bag 3 of those: mako3, buzzz, and M model s. They all are a little different, but the mako3 is the one that is straight and holds any angle (sometimes to a fault). That said, my perfect straight mid would be shallow with a wide rim (like 10cm rim) but flies like a mako3. Probably not physically doable, but I feel like deep mods are harder to aim and control, so something like a Leopard in the hand that flies like a mako3. Love your vids. Thanks.

My first mid was a warship and it’s still the one I reach for the most (with a Z buzzz a close second). Interestingly I have two warships, one in VIP and one in the softer Origio burst and the two different plastics have different glide ratings (6 on the VIP and 5 on the Origio). I think what I like about the warship and buzzz most his how flat-topped mine are, they are so controllable and my most trusted choices for those tight shots in the woods

Thought I'd be throwing an M2 forever in this slot of my bag, till the Hex came along. Man do I love that disc. Glides for days and goes so straight when you want it to.

I bag a Hex, a Reactor, TSA Pathfinder, and an EMac Truth. My favourite midranges are flat, small diameter, and shallow so that they can be used for forehand as well as backhand. The Reactor is great to flick!

The latitude 64 claymore is my go to straight/very slightly flippy midrange, it was one of the first discs I bought and I trust it so much

Awesome video! So many good mids. Buzzz is a classic, currently bagging a beat in Ibex for right drifting tunnels and turnovers that don't go too far. I liked how shallow the mako 3 was. If you could get something like the hex with more weight outside near the rim, but shallow like the mako 3 somehow that would be awesome! Something like 5 5 -0.5 1 would be the best.

I can't wait to see what kind of material and process you use for 3D printing. I gotta imagine an FDM/ABS printed disc won't fly like its injection molded/recycled version, SLA would probably be pretty stiff. Would be cool to see you throw the 3D printed disc and the molded one back to back!

Most straight mids have a massive amount of dome/depth. I'd love something with less so that I'm more comfortable throwing it forehand.

I’m literally design a midrange for a class at my college today, I’m planning on making a disc like the QMS or MVP Tangent, something that any arm speed can throw, a disc flight that is usable for skilled players, and one disc round type of disc, something you actually would feel comfortable putting with.

My favorite midrange is a 14 year old Champion Cobra it can be thrown under and over stable. In the video it appeared all had similar flight paths with a few showing more glide. Mako /Buzz is a good target for like-ability in your decision making.

Hi Jessie, Love what your doing for the sport! I've thrown about half the discs you've tested here. For a straight flyer I love me a Buzzz, Rift, Zombie or Squall (I know the last two are technically fairways but I throw them like a longer midrange With that said, I think something that incorporates a Buzzz's overall feel/flight, with an Innova Caiman or Prodigy A4 rim thickness and Hex/Paradox/Malta smaller diameter (

Gateway Elements!!! I have several. I really like it with their Suregrip rim....

Great video! Love this idea

Thanks Eric!

Things I would like in a mid for feel: Slight dome, rounded nose, slightly concave lower rim, a small bead, medium depth, and small diameter. Like a Skeeter with a mini bead. Flight characteristics: good glide and moderate to minimal fade. 4,5,0,1 Excited to see what you come up with!

I personally enjoy slightly shallower discs with a flatter top, a slight fade, and a smaller diameter to them. I throw both forehand and backhand and having a disc like this allows me to use them for both.

I'm still a very new player and I really put a value on straight flying discs from the start. I prefer no bead but I don't think that's an important element when throwing with a power grip. I wouldn't want it flat, but if it has too much dome I feel like it would be more susceptible to the wind. For depth, I say the deeper the better, but it might be interesting to have two versions that vary the depth like Innova does with its 3 series discs.

Great video as always. I've always been a big fan of the Buzz. Currently (aside from the 3 Buzz's I have) my favorite midranges are the DX Roc the DX Cobra and the G-Star Roc3. I've also heard good things about that Hex and am curious about it myself.

Great video…I’ll definitely have to get a Hex and give it a try

The hex does have an insane feel and control about it. By far they straightest and longest mid in my bag.

I love a midrange with turn resistance out of the box and a healthy fade (2+) like my beloved Emac Truth. It will beat to a straight flyer and still handle some forehand torque. I like to FH and BH all the discs in my bag and the Emac Truth is my favorite mid to FH and BH.

A mid with a really kind bottom edge for comfortable forehands would be really neat, so shallow and with a compassy shape but an even less sharp bottom edge.

I think feel is huge. Smooth on the bottom edge of the disc is a must. There's nothing worse than tearing your hands up trying to throw mids. I was throwing Buzzes and a few other discs when I first started and I thought I hated midranges in general just because of how they felt... Until I tried MVP Reactors/Hex and Mint Mustangs and Thoughtspace Pathfinders. 👍

Great stuff as always Jesse. The evidence was perfect, it did not turn or fade, I miss it sooooo bad, but finding them is getting hard. And that is why I've bee looking for a replacement just like you. The hex was actually one of my favorites too, but I felt like it needed a little more arm, all my shots came up short, but accurate. Regardless of what you make, I will do anything I can to get one in my bag. Good luck on this journey, peace bro.

Thanks bro!!! 🤘

One thing that I noticed, is that while I love my mako3s they beat in quickly and become a bit understable. Innova's vtech design really helps to keep that high speed turn under control, making a disc fly very straight with plenty of torque resistance. So my vote, a mako3 mold but with a v-tech rim. Hope this helps!

I really like the feel of the OOP Innova king cobra, and the flight of the westside claymore. I would love that combination, as I current bag both because I can't pick one.
