This disc is stable in my bag, it replaced my destroyers, I have it in all other plastics but ethos. They do very well even in windy days when I'm struggling with my trustworthy ballista pro (its been in active use for few seasons and still gets best distance with in neutral weather though). Cant wait to see how they fly after next summer when they have been definitely beat in.

Glow is way more stable then any other plastic, while aura 168g seems bit more stable then 172g nebula ethereal. In my opinion and experience these are bit more stable then destroyers I have used in past as these wouldnt have much or turn at all while destroyers would. Maybe it has something to do with discs profile wich is board flat in synapse in comparison to my somewhat domey destroyers.

If you want the best and most durable plastic in industry, buy TSA. It's made by MVP and most of the stamps are epic and their discs are very awesome.

This disc is my main driver when it comes to thow far and with accuracy. Changed it from my old main driver "Destroyer" and they are very alike. I really like the aura plastic beacuse it is very grippy in every weather, and has a very nice feeling in the hand. And the prints on the discs is awsome!

BEWARE: I am a pretty much only forehand thrower, so keep that in mind.

Expectations:

I bought the Synapse because the premise of a Destroyer-like disc (which i had not thrown before) and MVP plastic sounded very appealing to me and I was looking for a new max distance driver for my forehand anyways, so i pulled the trigger.

Reality:

So i got an 175 g Aura Synapse and the feel is amazing. It fits my forehand really well and the plastic is that perfect mix of gumminess and stiffness that I already was used to thanks to my Neutron discs. And while they say that the plastic blends are different, they are close enough that it felt comfortable from the start.
 

What I noticed really fast was, that this disc was a good bit more overstable than I expected it to be. When I release this disc flat it does not turn at all and will start going right (RHFH) pretty soon. That does not mean that it does not make some good distance, but it is something to keep in mind.
However as soon as my idea of what that disc is supposed to do was adjusted, it became my "save distance" disc because I can trust it in headwinds and even on quite some anhyzer to always fight back in the end. Giving it some hyzer it will give me some spectacular skips, just gotta keep in mind to account for the fast fade when aiming.

Conclusion:

This disc definitely stays in my bag, since it gives me something to get some distance even in fierce headwinds without being afraid of going somewhere I didn't want to go. I am sure that it will get even more distance as soon as it breaks in a bit, but even now it is the perfect addition to my distance line up.

I would definitely recommend this disc for people who need a reliable, overstable distance driver and being produced by MVP should give it a lot less variation in between runs than the Destroyer normally does.
