The -2 turn allows it to flip up easily or ride a smooth, panning anhyzer, while the gentle 1 fade ensures a soft, predictable landing. Because these discs are molded in lightweight classes, they require significantly less power to get up to cruising speed, meaning players of all skill levels can easily access that beautiful -2 turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSpeed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGlide\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eTurn\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eFade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e-2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lightweight Apex Salamander delivers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe \"Longer Lobster\":\u003c\/strong\u003e Faster and longer-flying than their wildly popular understable midrange, giving you that same dependable turn with extra distance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Glide for Slower Arms:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lightweight construction perfectly complements the massive 6 glide rating, keeping the disc airborne longer with minimal effort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayer Utility:\u003c\/strong\u003e For beginners and slower arm speeds, it flies dead straight to gently turning.

This specific lightweight run utilizes a micro-bubble technology that is extremely similar to MVP's famous Fission plastic.
