While I will say it's not my favorite disc, it's definitely a needed addition to the Latitude line up. It's in the "not in my arm speed" category for me as I can only release it flat and have it very quickly start to fade out. It'll definitely be the disc I reach for when I need to get a solid drive off the tee into a hefty wind, but in calm conditions I won't be throwing it much.


Despite my noodle arm (actually, I should have a noodle arm--then maybe I would naturally throw with my trunk instead of my arm!), I'm loving the Villain as a nearly perfect OS distance disc to complement the Sword. For me it's longer, more forgiving, and a little less overstable than the Z Avenger I previously used in this role. And I love the look and feel of that somewhat opaque Opto plastic!

I can't begin to describe the extent to which my game depends on my fuse. I recently played two new courses and threw fuse as 40% of my drives, pure as 30% and hucked my drivers on some par 4 holes. I currently have three fuses in my bag and plan on adding a fourth soon.

I too am a huge Fuse fan and rely on them heavily. My pink opto's been in the bag since I got it when it first came out and it is a thing of beauty.

Love me some Fuse talk...

I'm really starting to get my TM Fuse pretty beat. It has such a late turn that I'm finding really useful.

It's such a great disc I don't even.
Throw discs, and forget about life for awhile...

well I received an opto Villain and opto Pure today. not sure when I'll be able to throw them. the Pure is well beautiful! the Villain feels like it will be dangerous. Reminds me of a Z Force (feel only, no flight observations).

Just because some one said, "Do you really need three fuses in your bag, they are all the same disc."
Here goes:
178g opto, My low line line maker. Turns a little bit more than my others and turns SLOW. For shooting low tunnels flip to flat holding straight with a very late right turn finish.
179g GL My high turner. For those shots that go high and must keep going right.
178g GL My go to fuse. Been in the bag longest. Surprisingly neutral. 50% power 300' dead straight with a little play first right then left. Good for shooting flat comfortable mid height shots.

I would like a GLopto fuse mostly because I love the grip that high urethane GL has. Feels great, releases smooth.

OK so you get me going on the fuse then leave me hanging. I can't stop once I start when it comes to the best disc ever molded... THE FUSE!

a-HA! So they do have Opto and TM2 Pures at PG, they just haven't put them on the web shop yet. Well, they have been quite busy with moving the store, but now I have a really good reason to visit their new location on the opening day :) Can't wait to get my hands on some of those.

To my understanding they had one of each at the moment, and they're not going to get any more of the TM2's. =)

Well, damn. :( I'm not that sad about the TM2's really, as I'm very happy with my Zeros for putting, but I need those Optos for driving and approaches!

I cant remember if it was said here or not. Are the bird stamp strikers going away and we will go back to the traditional gl look, or is the change permanent. I need some new strikers but Ipwant the old gl ones.
