Give me something to make me want to use vibram discs :)

Just getting to the $50 mark for free shipping and want to try something really different...gogo...
 
What are you interested in?

I really liked the Sole. Try any putter they are indestructable. Then move on to the drivers.
 
I'm a Summit man. Just remember that their softs are really, really soft.
 
VP is my favorite overstable putter. As Prerube said... all Vibram discs are virtually indestructible. I prefer the medium X-link.

The Summit is a very good understable, shallow rim putter. I like it in all of the rubber/plastic compounds. The soft will just go straight, no matter what. It's my favorite putter for 35 - 60 foot "go for it" putts. Once it hits something, it stops. The medium and firm are great "slow approach" discs. They fly straight with very little power and land flat.

The Ridge is directly in-between the two.

You will like the Ibex if that is your choice. Solid, straight flying mid with decent glide. It will keep these characteristics because of the rubber.

The Obex is a beaded Ibex.

I like and carry all of these discs.

If you like "traditional" style putters, the Sole is just that. Slightly overstable and easy to get used to. If this was the only Vibram disc, I'd carry it. I do prefer the VP, but that's personal preference.

The Ascent is a solid fairway driver with predictable flight and fade at the end.

The Trak is a slightly more understable fairway driver with more glide than the Ascent.

Both drivers are easy to throw and control. I would call them both "control drivers".
 
try an Obex, i just did a review and giveaway on my channel. It holds a backhand anhyzer line so perfectly.

here is the review video -

 
Ridge is awesome. Summit is also awesome. VP is ok, better for power players. I love throwing ridges off the tee and on long approaches; so accurate and reliable. :thmbup:

Medium Ridge, around 170, is my suggestion.
 
Ibex, Ibex, Ibex. Grippy, straight, and bulletproof. My go-to disc in the woods.
 
Where's the best place to buy an ibex online as far as color choice ?

Discgolfcenter.com and CommunityDiscs.com, both $17.00 shipped, good pictures and selection. Marshall Street is great too, but you'll pay $22.00 shipped unless you get more stuff with it.
 
I vote the Ibex. It was my first Vibram disc, and now I can't get enough of them. If you order Vibram from Communitydiscs.com and send justin a PM as to what you want and pay with paypal gift, he usually gives you a discount, so it would be even cheaper.

Something that people didn't mention about the Ibex earlier is that it LOVES to be powered down. It has such amazing touch when powered down and thrown slightly nose up with good snap on approach shots (I think this is probably it's greatest attribute).
 
The Trak and the Ridge are probably the most User friendly Vibrant discs, with the Ibex being a very close second. Enjoy!
 
Vibram disappointed me, especially durability wise. My drivers all had chunks out of them after a few tree hits. The only disc I actually enjoyed from them was the ridge. Great driving putter. I tried all of their putters in the medium x link and have never seen so many dead center spit outs. It's like they have too much grip and the chains launch them back out. I'm not a vibrant fan obviously Haha.
