Review Fanatic, L5
My disc is a yellow opaque 171g. The plastic doesn’t really seem like anything special to me. It kind of feels like a stiffer more shiny DX. I see other reviewers compare this disc to a Leopard, but I don’t really feel the same way. I have a DX Leopard that I love and throw really well, and I couldn’t get the same result with this disc. I have been playing about 9 months, and it could possibly be the way I am throwing it. It seemed like no matter how I threw it, it would always have a steep dive left and right into the ground. I feel like it should have been flying further than it was. I tried dialing back power, more power, snap (which I finally figured out how to do), but nothing was working for me. I’ll probably put this into my storage box and give it a try again in a few months.
I would say this isn’t a beginner friendly disc.

You might be throwing it with OAT (Off Axis Torque) causing it to “turn and burn”. In other words, you could be throwing it with your wrist slightly turned and that’s what’s causing it to turn and never come back, diving in to the ground. Try releasing it on a slight hyzer. That way it should flip flat and then do it’s business.

This baby is a sweet disc from the Ricos. I think of it as a leopard with more glide if that’s even possible. Thrown hyzer they flip flat and cruise forever, and when thrown flat it turns for nearly the whole flight and then flexes out at the very end.

I have a 175 Icon Patriot. Everyone else seems to throw this disc good, but me. I did throw one good with this disc today, but I can’t hyzer flip it correctly. I guess some more throws with it will help out and maybe I’ll end up liking it in the future. It does seem to go pretty far for a fairway driver, though!

Do you like Leopards? Good. Then the Patriot is for you. Normally I go very in-depth with my reviews, but this one is simple: The Patriot is a Leopard. Same feel, same profile, same flight path.
The Patriot is a great hyzer flip disc. After about 15 throws in a field, I was doing nothing but hyzer flips with it. Put some good hyzer on it, and it will flip flat for a nice long, straight flight with minimal fade. It also holds anny lines very nicely. It won’t skip away on you, either.
The plastic is nice and grippy, and the stamp rocks! Enjoy.
