Player Reviews Posted: 6-13-04 By Blake Takkunen - The Webmaster - blake@discgolfreview.com Ching was nice enough to send me some protos to demo and I got to throw the new Fusion Mojos about 30 times on a soccer field. I have to say that this is one of the purest flying discs I've come across in a long time. I have a fairly good finesse game and I was able to make it hold just about any angle up to ~180-200' without much effort. As for my overall read from it, it was stable enough to hold a hyzer line and to hold an anhyzer to glide and land flat without catching edge. I throw bent elbow on most shots (with the exception of max D drives) with a fairly pure release and rarely turn over approach discs or midranges (unless I try to). I did make an attempt to flip it over (in the bad accidental "putter roll" way) and was able to with sufficient velocity but was also able to throw some fairly nice 270'+ distance rollers. For more interesting results, I let my friend who is a notorious accidental putter roller give them a few tosses. He rolled almost every shot right off the bat. However, I did notice that his off-axis torque seemed to stabilize very quickly (at least much more quickly than I was used to seeing) on throws with his normal putt/approach discs. Long story short, I was able to pinpoint the problem that had been causing his putter turnover for the past several years and an hour later he was throwing the major quite well and agreed they were a very clean flyer. I only got to throw about a dozen putts from about 15' but my friend and I played catch with it putting style for about 15 minutes at varying distances. I'm not sure if it was due to gyroscopics or plastic, but I did find it to have a bit of undesirable low speed fade when putted flat from outside 30'ish which may have purely been due to diameter and the necessary RPM's to keep it stable although I have found a trend with putters in grippier plastics that they tend to want to fade a little more than the same molds in stiffer, slicker plastics. It was money from 25' and in though, and I found it to have strong lift/hover characteristics on the longer putts. On jump putts I found I could easily clear 60'. As for more general comments things I found interesting: What I didn't like: Things I see that may cause trouble: Overall, it was a fun disc to throw and very accurate. This disc flies similar to an Aero, but seemed to handle snap better with a sufficiently clean release. People that have trouble turning over putters will probably struggle with this disc. However, I do think it is a very interesting and accurate disc and I am looking forward to see how the production runs turn out as this disc is pending PDGA approval upon the required 1500+ discs being available.
