King Cobra and Super Stingray

[Frank Delicious]

Has anyone got any of these and thrown them? The King Cobra looks pretty interesting

I am going to have to agree with the king cobra sounding interesting. Someone throw one!

King Cobra sounds like what I really want an MD2 to be (not that I'm not loving the MD2 right now) in that it is lower profile (read: should be less effected by winds) with similar stability.

I'm playing that tournament in OV next weekend...definitely interested in these discs, if they still have some around when I arrive.

Yeah, King Cobra is relevant to my interests

[x-out]

king cobra is a fantastic disc. this is coming from someone who doesn't like shallow type discs (katana, cobra, wedge, etc.). i liked the disc a lot and wanted to love it, but in the end it wasn't for me.

what it does:
it is a faster KC Roc with a tick less fade. it holds the line you put it on and has the HSS to not move much L-R (RHBH). it is capable of great distance on low and high lines.

why it wont make the bag:
i just love my rocs too much. on paper it was what i wanted...something faster than a roc and still roc-ish, but it just wasn't for me. i guess i need a super slow driver and not a mid range.

p.s. the fd isn't the magical disc to fill the slot im looking for. i'm in the fd fan club. i have a s-line&c-line in the bag and i doubt they will ever leave. in all honesty the fd is too long even though it powers down well. i need a slower fd, gazelle, or something that doesn't exist yet. with that disc i think i would finally have a complete bag.

In other words, a Buzzz...

How does it hold up in the wind?

I actually got to throw a king cobra today and it's not like a buzz, at least not for me. It throws a lot like a MD2 that handles wind better. It threw like the old champ cobras I use to use as my mid.

Which kind of MD2? A domey stiff C MD2 is worse in the wind than a Z Buzzz. Jub preaches about the flatter gummy C MD2s handling wind great and not fading as much and too early like the domier kind. Which mid has a similar LSS to the King Cobra and where does the HSS land in comparison to the Z Buzzz and different MD2s?

Leopard?

i forced myself to carry a leopard for half a season, but it never felt natural. the grip wasn't comfortable and it was slightly too understable for what i wanted.

it might be time to test out a couple different types of gazelles again. i was using old candy and different years of dx. maybe the new pro or star gazelles might do the trick.

[JR]

There is the legendary Cheetah in between the Leo and the Gaz. It is way more HSS than the Leo when new and fades a little less than the Gaz. The HSS will drop close to Leo levels eventually but the LSS will be higher so it will pull out of annies more reliably than the Leo. IIRC the Cheetah is a little thinner in height than the Leo. An MJLS could work too.

Stalker? Beaded and big diameter.

A domey stiff C MD2 is worse in the wind than a Z Buzzz.

Really? The domey C-Lines I've thrown were bad in the wind, yes, but just because they slow down even faster into a headwind, and get pushed around a bit in a sidewind. They don't turn any more than the flats (from what I've seen), whereas just about every Z Buzzz apart from the Glo have some turn even in calm conditions.
