If the Buzzz and the FD had a baby together it would be the Gobi. The is a super long mid easy to control for many different shots. This is a jack of all trade i like holding in my hand and carving lines with. Out of the box its not the best for anhyzer shots, it fights back a little bit, but that will change 100 rounds from now. I think i will bag this "Swiss army disc" and see where it takes me.

Did some testing of a Gobi I pulled out of our courses lost and found purge pile. Did a few throws with it, and I have to say I did enjoy the flight immensely. It is a floaty glidey flight, it's almost comet like- ALMOST. That's high praise from me!

The Gobi is very responsive to the angle of release. Flat? It's flying with a sliiiiiiight turn and a gentle fade for a nice net neutral flight. Hyzer? Little flip up, coast, fade. Anhyzer? Hold's the angle to the ground. 

It loses a star for being a combination of plastics- I do not like the handfeel of MVP/Axiom, and I do not particularly care for the Opto-G either. 

Still, I think it's a really strong buzzz like mold in the Trilogy Line.

I found this on the course and tried to play with it, but I never could figure it out. I think the weight was just too much for me. But when I did get a good throw on it, what stood out to me was the glide. This thing just kept going.

The Gobi is a jack of all trades. I think of it as a midrange that wants to be a fairway driver.

I love my Gobi for one disc rounds where I need a single disc to fill multiple roles, but I find trouble fitting in my bag for normal rounds, because it doesn't seem to specialize in filling any single role better than other more specialized discs. The first time you hold it in your hand, I think you'll understand what I mean. It calls itself a midrange, but it has a rim that feels like a driver with slightly dulled inside edges. You throw this disc like a driver, and in a lot of ways it behaves similar to any number of slower, more controllable drivers on the market.

 The Gobi is a little longer than most mids, even long mids like the Evidence or the Truth. The only mid that really competes with it in this category is the Warship. At some point these mids that keep trying to fly further than their competition just become fairway drivers, and with the Gobi you definitely get the feeling that you don't really need a true defined "driver" on most of the amateur courses you find in the United States since you could easily throw a Gobi on a 300' hole. If you want a driver with a comfy fat rim that won't dig into your fingers, then the Gobi is definitely the disc for you. I'm not trying to bash the Gobi here, and the comfort factor is definitely a big deal because this is one of the nicest discs to hold in your hand and throw repeatedly because the plastic they use on the inside of the disc gives it an incredible comfort and ease of throwing. But if you want a mid that won't overshoot the basket, then the Gobi might be a disappointment in the sense that it flies just a little bit TOO far at times. For true midrange duties, you might want a true midrange.

The Gobi also fits in a kind of weird weird in-between spot in terms of stability. You can definitely shape your shots to get hyzer, straight, and anhyzer flights out of this disc. However, it might not perform as well as more specialized discs for any of these shots. I've noticed that anhyzer shots in particular tend to flex out halfway through the flight unless you put quite a bit of power on the disc, because the Gobi has a fair bit of low speed fade to counterbalance its high speed turn. You'll notice that this tendency to fade more at the end of the flight is actually a defining characteristic of drivers, and to find this level of fade on a midrange really highlights the fact that this disc falls between the "midrange" and "fairway" categories. In a lot of ways, this disc is more similar to a Leopard than it is to a Buzzz. You can get it to hold an anhyzer line if you give it a great deal of anhyzer angle or just throw it hard enough on an anhyzer line, but it's not an easy disc to keep turned over on shorter throws. I recommend Latitude 64's Fuse if you want a mid that will stay turned over on anhyzers without trying to fade back at the end of the flight.

So what does the Gobi do better than its competition? Well, it definitely flies far, especially if you get a nice hyzer flip on it so that its (slight) understability holds it straight and gives it maximum glide. In that way it's quite similar to a Warship. But another, underappreciated advantage of this pseudo-driver like rim is that it's actually really awesome for forehand shots. If you need a midrange that you can forehand comfortably, the Gobi can definitely fill that spot. This disc is among my favorites for forehands inside of 250', because it's just so gosh darned easy to get a clean release with the rounded inside rim on this disc. Give it just a little bit of hyzer and it will flip to flat and then fade predictably so long as you don't torque it over too badly. The extra distance and glide this disc naturally gets will allow you to just flick it gently at the target and let the disc do the work, and I think the Gobi actually fills this niche better than anything else it could be doing for backhand throws. So rather than being a jack of all trades, master of none, I think the Gobi is really a jack of all trades, master of one. It is a very well rounded disc that can fill almost any role decently, but the one thing I found that it is excellent for is forehand approach shots.

On the whole, I wish I could give the Gobi a 4.5/5 because it is so good for so many things, but since the rating system on this site only allows for whole stars I have to give it a 4 because I still have trouble fitting it in my bag for just that one shot where it outperforms other midrange discs. The Gobi is a very versatile disc, and very comfortable too, but finding a place for it in your bag can be tough because it is versatile and when trying to score as well as possible you just want a specialized disc that is perfect for a given situation rather than a versatile disc that is decent for that situation.

The Gobi likes to "GO-be by the basket." I absolutely love the Gobi for any kind of shot that I want to go reliably straight and glide forever. With the right shot I can get the Gobi to go out beyond some of my fairway drivers because it just likes to fly. I would recommend this midrange to anyone who is looking for a disc that has great reliability and control while flying further than any other midrange they have. One of my favorite parts about the Gobi is how great it will also hold a forehand line reliably. It is a disc unlike any other out there and I think that everybody should try because I think they will find it pleasantly surprising with how great it really is

I have the Gobi in 174g.

This disc has been saving me strokes since the first day I got it!

For me this disc seems to have two basic flight patterns (RHBH).

1) Throw it straight with moderate to high power and it's very straight with a little fade at the end.

2) Throw it with moderate power on an anhyzer line and it holds the anhyzer for about  two thirds of the flight before coming back with nice fade.

Surprisingly good glide and controllability.

For me this disc almost seems to be controlled by telepathy. I often think my release or line was incorrect, yet this disc executes precisely what I had in mind.

I really liked how this disc felt in my hand.  I suppose you would have to have the same size fingers as me for that to have any meaning for you but that was my first impression of the disc.  I was picking up replacements for a couple of lost discs and saw the Gobi.  I picked it up because, well, it was new so I was compelled to.  It felt like it was made for my hand.  A couple of weeks later, I got one (and a couple days later, I got another one because I threw the first one in a pond at Mulligans).

From the outset, it felt way more stable than the numbers would lead you to believe.  Tonight, I took it out and threw it along with discs that had similar numbers: MVP Axis, Prodigy M4, Vibram Ibex, and Vibram Launch.  I was throwing them 250 feet which is a distance I would commonly throw these and compared the Gobi's flight to the others.  

I started by throwing them with a flat release straight down the line I was using to measure distance.  All the discs except the Gobi turned over to the right before fading back, many of the shots coming to rest near my measuring line (the Axis always faded a bit left of the line).  The Gobi flew flat and straight down the line for 200 feet before starting to fade.

When throwing hyzers, the M4s and Launches would flip to flat and do more of a stall hyzer.  The Gobi and Axis held the hyzer.

When throwing anhyzers, the M4s and Launches flew straight (continuing to the right from my perspective) as they came out of the anhyzer.  The Gobi fought out of the anhyzer and still ended up on the left side of my measuring line.

I still love the feel of this disc and have added it to my bag but as a stable mid.  Based on the numbers, I thought it might replace my Launches but I'm keeping those to use when I need something to turn over and for hyzer flips.

"GOBI!"

The Gobi is my new favorite disc. Once you get over the woefully incorrect flight ratings this is a real gem.  Easy to grip for forehands or backhands this slightly stable midrange can be used for most all the shots you need.  Easy to hyzer, can hold a bit of an anhyzer and can go mostly straight on a longer (~260 feet) throw.  I love the feel in the hand so much that I use it as my main putter. This is the ultimate one disc game disc.

Pros:

• Awesome glide
• Holds up in a head wind
• Slightly stable predictable fade
• Easy to grip for a backhand or a forehand
• Looks awesome
• Feels great as a putter
• Can hit almost any line needed.

Cons:

• Flight numbers are way off.
• Can't go dead straight on a shorter throw. Need to disc down to a putter (I like the Pilot).

The Gobi really surprised me when I took it out for a few throws. For a mid-range, this disc can really go, and go, and go. I don't usually try to give my mid-ranges much power when throwing, because that's not really the point of a mid-range, but I threw the Gobi with a little more heat, once I saw how well it glides. I wanted to see what kind of distance it could attain. Well, with a little hyzer release, I got this disc to stand up and fly up to 300 ft. It doesn't move fast, but it keeps going and the gentle comeback fade at the end-of-flight gives it even more distance. I had fun throwing from home plate at a little league baseball diamond, trying to get a homerun over the fence 300 feet away. 

But aside from trying to get distance with the Gobi (which isn't really the intent of such a disc...just a bonus), it is a really accurate, easily controlled mid-range for upshots and for working the fairway. It isn't overly understable, but it isn't overly overstable either. It's a straight-flyer that obeys your command, and finishes with a gentle fade. I like it!

I like the Gobi, it's a solid midrange, but for me it's just not an understable midrange like the flight ratings indicate. If I throw it on a hyzer release it will maintain the hyzer line. Throw it flat it doesn't turn right and always fades out. When I throw it anhyzer it holds the line for a little while but eventually fades out. This disc has a flight similar to dozens of other stable mids out there, Emac Truth, Roc3, Buzzz, etc. Great flight that you can use for the majority of your midrange throws, but just not understable when you need to stay dead straight or even turn slightly right with a RHBH throw.

I can't say that the double mold technology makes it do anything better than any other disc, but it looks good, and doesn't have the annoying marks of discs like the Atlas (Innova's attempt at an overmold midrange). 

If you're looking for a solid stable midrange and want to try something new, I highly recommend the Gobi. If you're looking for something that is actually understable, I can't recommend it for you.
