Lightning MX-1


Lightning's fastest driver to date by far, with a wing resembling all the other wide-winged drivers that go farther than anything just a few years ago. Flies like an understable Pro Boss, with a wing-width between an Orc and a Wraith.
Steve Howle, Lightning's founder, owner, general manager, office bartender and charwoman, had this to say about it:

"very fast with a long straight line glide--a little understable below 170 g--second run may be slightly retooled,- we won't cut anything until we run the Pro and Maxline plastic"

Holy Smokes what's Maxline plastic?! What a brave new world!

This is the very first run in Lightning's entry level (i.e. inexpensive and hence not as durable as other versions to come) plastic, and ushers in a new era for Lightning, which was quickly becoming the brand with very controllable discs preferred by beginners.

So move over Mr. Boss, Sir Nuke, and Father Halo, and make room for Herr MX-1. Someone please pinch me, just not too hard in case I'm actually not dreaming.
