TRULY THE TRILOGY DESTROYER

I have Recoils in SE, Gold, Opto, and an Albert Tamm Opto-X. Latitude nailed this one in that it bombs with a reliable finish for those who have a 400'+ arm. At 2.2cm rim width, it's super comfortable and just that much more controllable compared to something with a wider rim (Ballista Pro for example.) I'm not in the 450'+ distance class, but I think Recoils can fill that slot no problem. I mean, Albert Tamm throws them so they must be able to handle that level power. I'd say overall, their stability falls between an Enforcer and Trespass, with SE being like a stable Trespass and the rest more like a broken-in Enforcer, with the exception of the Opto-X, that thing is pretty much an Enforcer with more dome. I'll break down each plastic here.

Special Edition

If you want to start getting into the world of Recoils, I say start here. I say 'world' because after getting into them, they have dominated my driver lineup. The SE plastic feels really nice, even in 90F/32C heat it doesn't get too gummy like something like G-Star would. It's basically Gold Line, but a touch softer. The softness lends towards less stability, especially as it gets beat up. Once broken in, SE Recoils will flip on a 400'+ pull. They don't flip much, but it is noticeable. It makes for a perfect flip-to-flat with a strong finish left (for RHBH throws) bomber. Because of this, it'll hold a flex line for that much longer. SE is pretty much my go-to plastic for Recoils because of this. Also, the SE Recoils are the flattest, making them even more comfortable in hand, and more useful as a sidearm disc. I like the SE Recoils so much that I have 2 of them. Final numbers [12, 4, -0.5, 3]

Gold Line

Gold Line Recoils have a bit more dome to them in my experience. Because of this, they  fly more stable than the SE. The dome isn't all that big, but if you want to resist turn while still having some dome and grippy hand-feel, choose this one. My GL Recoil also flips, but barely at all compared to the SE (which also barely turns on me given full power.) The GL Recoil is my 2nd most used after the SE. Final numbers [12, 4, -0.25, 3]

Opto

Opto Recoils are solidly beefy. Thrown 100% it reminded me of something like a new stable Culverin/Thunderbird type disc, but 12 speed so needs to thrown a lot harder. It goes straight for a long time, but doesn't budge into any turn whatsoever for me. They can handle all the wind and power I can throw at it (still keeping it on a hyzer though.) In my experience, they are also flatter than the Gold Line Recoils, so I can see forehand guys with solid power getting into these. I rarely reach for the Opto, because it's pretty much a full power windy day disc for me. Final numbers [12, 4, 0, 3]

Opto-X Glimmer (Albert Tamm ed.)

Wow. I love this thing. It has the biggest dome by a solid margin and is easily the most overstable. However, it is totally workable. I can throw super confident 350'+ flex lines with this thing and it will come out of them and get a huge skip at the end. If you're looking for that kind of line, these Opto-X Recoils nail it. On top of all that, the Glimmer plastic is insanely bright and flashy, making it super easy to spot if you play courses where disc searching is common. The Opto-X isn't my most used, but might be my favorite Recoil of all. Final numbers [12, 4, 0, 4]

Overall, I'm super stoked on the feel, flight, and varieties of Recoils there are. They have been super reliable, go far, go straight with fade at the end, and take on a variety of characteristics depending on plastic. It is a quiver killer when it comes to a driver line-up, but I still keep one extra flippy driver in the bag for big drives that will always finish right (for RHBH throws) and a couple super fast drivers for max distance.

If you're interested and have at least 375'+ power, I seriously recommend looking into Recoils. It's not going to set distance records for you, but it's a workhorse and a half that Latitude 64 nailed in design and flight.

The SE/Gold line edition of the Recoil is the overstable Trespass I've been looking for. Fantastic feel in the hand can get some great distance. Solid 5/5 from me.

Just a note, the Opto Recoil is significantly more overstable than the SE edition.
