It's Bullet Day!

So yesterday I was supposed to drop some flight comparison charts for the new Bullets and Freetails.

I did not...

So that's why we are doing this blog. Discipline, structure, all of that. This blog is part of our reminder to keep the company focused it's core goals, one being the the Serial #.

Let's jump right in.

Initial Analysis & Some Context.

This comp chart is focused on premium plastic Bullets today: Nocturnal, Sublime, Apex and Eternal.

I have not thrown any of the new premium Bullets for 2025(Glow & ET Flex). Usually I throw these BEFORE I measure them.

Today I wanted to do the opposite to test how accurate my efforts have been. I still think there are probably better ways to do this. I am using a set of table top calipers and "eye balling" it for every one of these.

Let's talk about what Resistance means first. This is a number that lumps Turn & Fade into one number. We do this because both of those numbers are generally affected by the Parting Line Height(PLH). So as the PLH goes up, it affects what we perceive as Turn & Fade. The Bullet has a Turn of 0 and Fade of 1, so the Resistance number is represented with a 1(0+1=1).

Important Note: The results taken here are from a very small sample size. Ideally we would measure EVERY color from every run. This is just a 1 disc per plastic snap shot, which means you should expect variation within each run of each plastic. Thinks like weight and color change can sometimes affect these numbers.

Glide Results:

This chart is sorted by Glide. While the Blue Eternal one is likely not under 3 Glide, it does tell us something important still. The most flat Bullets have the least glide. That is a large reason the first run of Glow was really popular. It was a really great as a thrower because the low glide gave it great range control. Meaning it wasn't going to glide out on you.

You will notice that the new 2nd run of Nocturnal Glow has a little extra Glide and the Eternal Flex is OFF THE CHARTS. Again, this is where my math starts to skew because it doesn't really have that much more glide when we really think about it. 

All of this is based off a Glide number we make up to help market the disc, but the Eternal Flex does have more dome and shoulder than previous runs. This has been a similar trend for the Eternal Flex in putters as the ET Flex Lassos had more dome to them when compared to glow Lassos.

Resistance Results:

There's a big stand out number. I even went back and measured it about 10 times. The Eternal Flex is apparently the least stable, and it has the most glide.

Keep in mind, I have not thrown these yet. So when I do, that is what I will be looking to test out. In theory, the Eternal Flex should flip forward the best compared to every other run of premium Bullet.

The Nocturnal looks like it will also be pretty close to the 1st Run, with both showing more stability(resistance) than other runs of premium Bullets.

Your thoughts?

• What do you guys think about these results?
• Does it make you want to try these new runs or maybe go find some old ones?
• What is your favorite Premium Bullet and why?
  

Until tomorrow.
