The Sinus is a very different feeling disc and the name really blows. Although, you do get to say things like, "Before you putt, let me clear my Sinus."
It has three thumb pads on the top of the flight plate which are slightly raised and have a rough texture to them to help with grip. If you don't like how they feel, there is plenty of smooth area where you can put your thumb. In fact, most of the flight plate is smooth with three slightly more than thumb-sized (depending on the size of your thumb I suppose) rough pads. I like the texture and grip of the pads but I've heard that other people don't.
The bottom edge is sharp. Technically, this may be a beadless putter or maybe it's a macro-bead where the whole bottom half of the rim is the bead. Regardless, the bottom edge is sharp. I say that twice because I very much tend to shy away from beaded discs (I have used all of my Sinuses enough to dull that sharp edge a bit). However...
I love this disc. This is my driving/approach/headwind-putter disc. All of mine are Zero Hard and while they are getting beat in, they still aren't beat in to the point where the disc turns over when I throw it. It holds a nice straight line for most of its flight before fading out. It sticks where it lands, probably because of the aforementioned sharp edge. You might get some slide if you land on hard-pack but if you hit grass, where it hits is your new lie. If I need to play a skip or slide shot, I do not use the Sinus. If I'm within 200 feet and want a reliable disc that will fly where I tell it to fly and sit where I tell it to sit (Sit Ubu, sit!), then I use the Sinus.
It's much more stable and has less glide than my go-to putter, the Sarek, so I use the Sinus for headwind putts, even if it's just a slight headwind. Sometimes I get lazy and my putts get a little nose-up and floaty, which is not what you want to do in a headwind, and the Sinus helps compensate for my lack of focus.
Bag-worthiness: After everything I've written, there isn't a lot of suspense here. I always have at least one in my bag (two if I think there is any way that I might lose one such as playing a course with a lot of water). This disc is one of my must-have discs regardless of how I might change my bag configuration to meet the requirements of individual courses (possibly like many people feel about a Roc or EMac Truth).
