Are the newer Super Diablos (the ones sold by Martin with the same profile as the Dream Catcher) fast flight compatible?
This the bow? if so here is some info on it, Hope it helps.
The Super Diablo has been in the Martin custom bow line for years. Its longevity can be attributed to its smooth, stack free draw and its speed with zero hand shock. The riser section is constructed with beautiful African hardwood laminations. The Red Elm limb laminations give the Super Diablo its smooth feel and speed. The riser section is slightly deflexed which makes it more forgiving and accurate. The limb tips are reinforced with black phenolic glass to strengthen the tips for the use of Fast Flight.
The Super Diablo comes complete with a #330 Traditional Rest for shooting off the shelf, a bow stringer, and a Dacron string. Immerse yourself in the rich tradition of archery. There is a Super Diablo waiting for you at your local Martin dealer.
Installation of sight and stabilizer bushings available upon special request.
Draw Weights 30# - 70#
Brace Height 8" - 8.5"
Mass Weight 1 lb. 10 oz.
AMO Bow Length 60"

Now that's a nice looking bow which I wouldn't mind owning.
Just a word of advise. I had a Super Diablo just like the one in the picture. I loved that bow. It was all it was advertised to be. Then one day I decided to use a Fast Flight string to make it even faster. It destroyed one of the tips in about 30 days.
They are fast enough with a standard string. It may have been a flaw in the tip or something I did but I have yet to find a better bow.
Just my opinion.

That is exactly what I needed to know - thanks!
I have one of the older ones, and was advised not to use fastflite, and by just gaining a little more speed it wasn`t worth trying it,shoots great with dacron,
The super D that I owned did the same thing. I put a FF string on it and it shot great till the top limb tip came apart. Martin made good on the bow by replacing it with a saber. I thought the dream catcher replaced the super D?
I have the same super D in the pic above. I have been using an 8125 string on mine for years with thousands of shots with a 7gpp arrow or slightly lighter and no issues at all.
