Our favorite part of the Prodiscus lineup has long been their midranges. When they came out with the Midari, they truly had something special on their hands. The Midari has a unique flight for a midrange in that it flies absolutely dead straight for its entire flight with minimal to no fade as it lands if thrown flat. They also then came out with the Troija, one of the most overstable mids on the market hands down, and the Stari, one of the flippier mids on the market. The main critique we've heard over the years about the Midari has been that it feels a little deeper in the hand than some may prefer (if you can get past that though we assure you some awesome flights).
Which leads us to these two new midrange discs that just got approved, the Unicorn, and the Pyramid. Both of these discs were designed specifically to be shallower (lower profile) than their previous iconic midrange. Lets start with the Unicorn, pictured above on the right compared to the Midari on the left, which is meant to be their shallow but straight flying midrange. It is beadless, but the feel in hand is similar to a flat Roc or wasp, however with a straighter flight than either of these two out of the box. The flight of the Unicorn is very straight with just a slight fade at the end of it's flight, very similar to a Buzzz. If thrown on hyzer, it'll gladly hold that the whole time, and if thrown on anhyzer, it'll hold that angle just fine while very slowly panning out, making for a very trusty midrange that could find a spot in a lot of players bags.
The other of the 2 new mids is the Pyramid, which ended up being our favorite of the two new discs. The Pyramid is a flat and stable disc, with a nice low profile making it incredible for forehand shots where the normal approach discs may come up short. The flight has a consistent and trusty fade with no thought of turning over, and can be compared to a Buzz OS or a Quake, although a little shallower still making it a forehand dream. The image above is a side profile comparison between the Pyramid and the Amulet (an overstable Midari) and you can see just how much shallower it is and how much higher the wing is. It is still plenty comfotable when thrown backhand and has a wonderful flight with some skip. In our opinion, this disc fill the gap between an approach disc, and OS 9 speed disc perfectly.
With the addition of these two new discs, the Podiscus midrange lineup is looking quite well rounded, having the various flights and hand feels well covered. If you're looking for something new to try for your midrange lineup and are looking for some of the nicest feeling plastics on the market right now, then stay on the lookout for when these discs come to your preferred retailer. And if your preferred retailer isn't carrying Prodiscus, then talk with them about it, they truly are a great brand with incredible plastics. We can tell you with certainty that after trying these discs out that one will definitely make our bags, will it make yours?
