    174 Ti.  Flight numbers seem right,  Do not underestimate this disc.  It is more stable than you would think, very capable of being thrown into a strong headwind for distance. 

    I prefer the Nuke, because it is a tic more stable, and the rim on the Nuke just seems to fit my hand perfectly.  Anyone that tells me the Nuke rim is too much for them, I point them to the Crank. 

    The Crank has an overall feel in the hand similar to a Zeus or Destroyer, but the Crank will provide that full flight that some players cannot get with a slightly more over stable disc.  

    This disc gets is stability from being a 12-13 speed disc, which means you want to be able to throw 60mph to get the most out of it.  It is still thrower friendly enough for an intermediate arm to flex for long, controllable distance.  I get the most out of a Crank when I flick them on a slight flex anhyzer, often getting 400' on a very repeatable line.

    Fun disc, good for a wide range of players.  I like the Ti plastic.  It is very durable and feels great in most temperatures and weather.

    Good driver, very fast with a good flip.  The Crank cuts through air and handles wind well for a disc with turn.  It's got an optimal amount of turn to gain distance without getting out of control.  It's surprisingly workable for such a high speed driver, both accurate hyzers or force anhyzers.  It's great for forehand shots as well because it has enough turn to flip up for distance but it is pretty torque resistant.

    The Titanium Crank can handle more torque than the Z Crank or the ESP Crank, and it has more glide than Glo Cranks.  To me the TI Crank is the best combination.  Z Cranks  break in too fast and flip too much for me and I can't get the same distance with Glo.  The Titanium Crank starts our very overstable but breaks in after a few rounds and holds at a good level for quite a while.

    The only real difficulty I have is the wide rim.  My small hands don't fit around it very well and sometimes that causes inconsistencies.  I usually throw the Crank as my max distance driver on more open holes so any decreased consistency is less impactful.  Of course, I have a similar difficulty with most maximum distance drivers that have wide rims so I guess it's less of a Crank disadvantage and more a disadvantage of wide rim drivers in general.

    The Crank has the potential to be a great disc for every skill level due to its high glide, propensity to turn, and decently hard fade.  For slower arms it's a very fast and overstable disc, but for faster arms it will gain a lot of distance with the flip.  I currently bag a Crank as my maximum distance driver.  I've found that the Z Crank starts out pretty close to what I'm looking for, long controllable turn with a reliable fade, but it breaks in much too quickly, so I've been bagging a Titanium heat for the past two seasons and this Crank can handle much more torque without turning too hard even when broken in.  The TI Crank definitely starts out overstable and hardly turns at first, but breaks in to the perfect flight after a few months.

    The difficulty I have with the Crank is the wide rim.  I can't control my release as well as with smaller rim drivers so I usually only use the Crank when I have an open fairway and don't need to worry about accuracy as much.  If you have larger hands then you may not need to worry about this as much, but it prevents me from using the Crank as my primary driver.  I drop down the the Punisher for any shot with a tighter fairway.  The Crank is pretty good for sidearm shots where the rim size is less of a hindrance.  The turn will make it very workable but it can also handle torque well.

    The Crank is also an excellent high speed overhand disc.  It's overstable enough that the side to side panning is controllable when you need to hit tighter lines and the glide gives extra distance.  The Titanium Crank holds up to overhands fine, but ESP and Z Cranks will break in pretty quickly when they land on their edges frequently.

    When I first bought this disc the flight numbers seemed great and the disc in esp plastic had a slight flip to it, however in the TI plastic this disc seem really stable compared to the nuke in the same plastic. It seem like a really fickle disc to me.

    Discraft has released their new flight numbers, giving the Crank a 13 5 -2 2.  This is a bit faster and a bit more understable than common consensus rated the disc, and I think the new Ti plastic run of the Crank supports Discraft's numbering.  My new Ti Crank is soft and grippy yet solid, like I love Ti plastic to be.  I've had great success with it so far.

    The Crank flies very straight when you really "crank" it.  Thrown low and flat, it turns just a hair to the right and then finishes softly to the left.  I have found this flight invaluable on the tight, wooded fairways around here - I can absolutely rely on this disc when it gets narrow!  It also anhyzer flexes well, and works as a flip-up disc.  13 speed seems really fast, but it doesn't fade out quite as easily as some of my other 13 speed discs.  It will handle a lot of power without turning all the way over - even blasting it 400 feet, I have never had it turn all the way.  Its glide is really consistent, and I've found it to have a softer landing than some of my other high speed driver - since it lands flat, it has not produced much ground play for me.  Mine is in the 170-172g range, and at that weight it has handled wind well.

    Overall, I would very highly recommend the Crank.  It flies consistently far, reliably straight, and holds release angles well for versatility.  I can really power drive it, and trust it not to turn too far over.  I have definitely fallen in love with the new Ti plastic, and am excited to try a few more molds!
