From what i remember the rock wasn''t bad but..

I find it hard to beat the

Green Messenger .... 400/1000 (wetsand)
Freeze... -> 3000 + FF

for someone to throw the GM on med- med/dry they must be throwing at 20+ mph cause mine loves oil (gets dirty quick but thats what cleaner is for).

I can't/won't speak on what I haven't owned.

I do have a Full Swing, Momentum Swing, Pure Swing, Power Swing, Burst, Pure Physics, Sharp Noize.

Out of what I got, I'd say

1) Power Swing
2) Full Swing
3) Pure Swing
4) Burst
5) Tie with everything else (don't feel strongly enough about everything else to rate them)
