Let me just say that I really like this disc! I got a 6-disc XCom set in Mars plastic, and they've all been pretty good; but I'd say this is easily the best of the bunch. The look of the Mars plastic and the dragon stamp make it a very cool-looking disc to begin with, and it seems to have a perfect balance of grippiness and a smooth surface for clean releases. I found a little flashing on the Mars mids/putters, but so far none on any of the drivers. I haven't had discs in this Mars plastic for very long, so I can't yet say how durable it will prove, but I have high hopes. Testing this along with other discs with the same or similar listed flight numbers, I think it's probably correctly rated -- although I think I'll give it a slightly higher glide because it tended to get a bit farther for me than most all of the pack. I think the higher stability and speed of this disc will make it too much for backhand beginners to get much benefit from it in most instances; forehand throwers, though, might still do alright with it at earlier stages of their experience. For those with more experience or power in their throws, I think they'll find this works as well as a Destroyer (though maybe like a slightly seasoned one).
