    [Discraft] Comet love?

    I'm actually going to have to throw the new Jawbreaker one more than I would for it's stability. I'm hoping it reaches a point like the old ESP FLX did, where it just breaks, and becomes flippy. As is, it's about as stable as the old Ron Russel Comets, with a bit more glide. I'll definitely post...

    [Discraft] Comet love?

    I cycle 2 of the Z Swirl ones with the dinosaur stamp. The JBZFLX one I threw yesterday was noticably more overstable. I'm hoping the modern FLX blends beat in as quickly as the old ones, because the feel is so nice...

    [Discraft] Comet love?

    The Jawbreaker one I threw today is probably the most stable Comet I own. I have a couple somewhat flat, regular production Z ones that are max weight, that I was using for headwinds and spike hyzers and shots where I absolutely needed to fade - and the Jawbreaker Z FLX have just kicked those...

    First form check!

    Different grips, grip strengths, and manipulating the nose angle will turn the Comet into a formidable tool in your arsenal. The glide also makes it fantastic for longer shot shaping, as well. I just played an A tier at a big, championship woods course, and threw a Comet off the tee on every...

    So, how did you play today? Part II

    My last day at Bald Mountain was much better play than the first day, but thanks to a few punishing tree kicks, it scored no better. Taking a double bogey on a 217 foot hole was a bitter pill to swallow, and the half inch too close to a tree on my second shot of 18 turned that hole into another...

    So, how did you play today? Part II

    Played a LOT better today. A few simple mistakes, but all in all a much better round. The right Comets do the right things, and I've gotten some more useful experience with shot selection on the course. Chase card tomorrow, 3 strokes out of cash. Time to see if I can get under par on this...

    Critters on the course you ran into...

    Found a creepy crawly early in yesterday's round, then we had a turkey on our cart for a bit, but sadly not the kind that helps your score...

    So, how did you play today? Part II

    Played my first tournament round at Bald Mountain yesterday - a championship level course in the woods. I figured the best strategy was to let my Comets do the talking, and that was a good plan - if I chose the right Comet for the shot. Bald Mountain is also a hilly course, so a few times I...

    Tooling underneath, or no?

    Can't have the one pictured - I ordered that one 🤣

    Thats kind of what I've done with mine. It's going to be my partner's first speed 11 disc. He's not quite out to 275 of distance yet, and I figure that's just about right for it.

    What's it's weight, and what's your distance like? I've got a 154g one that flies like yours, and a 168g one that flies like a nicely seasoned neutron one of the same weight. I throw 375ish.

    [MVP] MVP Disc Sports (Part VI)

    This is a pretty accurate description from the throw I gave one. It's really, really straight until it starts slowing down, then it just dumps a little. It's like... a less versatile Comet. That's not a bad thing, but if I didn't have the Comet in my bag, I still think I'd choose a different...

    [MVP] MVP Disc Sports (Part VI)

    That's how mine all fly (neutron locks in, fission has that extra drift) - how do the new ones fly differently, for you? I dig the "notch" at flat. That, and not being terribly nose angle sensitive, are the reasons I took the Scorch out of my bag in favor of the Wave. Knowing it would flip to...

    [MVP] MVP Disc Sports (Part VI)

    I've found mine pretty consistent, if I'm honest. I've got a 154g Fission that's unreasonably flippy, but each flies relatively the same, for its weight. I've got a 156 Cosmic Neutron that's definitely a step flippier than the 168g Neutrons I've got - but no more than you'd expect from dropping...
