I think the end has to be flat to give enough resistance to pop the magnets when it hits the water. Agree that this is not ideal aerodynamics for distance, but at least it opens 9 times out of ten.

Just by means of an update, I bought myself a new dot spod and the wolf performance spod and trialled them out side by side over 48hrs.

The performance version is soooo much better than the smaller wolf competition spod, opens almost every time. While I still had the occasional failure to open, it was maybe 1/10 casts, rather than the 9/10 failures from the competition spod. I also found it flew much truer than the dot spod. Shot out like a bullet.

The dot spod is still very good but I think the wolf performance is better. While the dot spod opens almost every time on impact, it does occasionally open mid-air, and it also flies notably less true, wobbling through the air and so feels harder to reliably chuck long distances with accuracy.

I've only had the issue with the dot spod openin mid air if I'm only half filled with bollie, seems movement inside hitting the mech opens it , never had one open when full.

Just brought a dot spod air to have a play with too 🎯
