The Ask MJ & Comet Love Thread

[swhite]

Pray tell???
Are you allowed to tell me what is this OOP disc????
My pick from Innova would be the DX Cobra, new, slower mold.

I don't know what mold(s) MJ is referring to, but have got to think that he could do wondrous things with an XD or Aero.

For a model still in production, he could smash all of us with just a Condor.

I have an ESP Comet that I've had a love/hate relationship with for several years as I've been cleaning up my form.

I love it for tight turning wooded lines or long sweeping anhysers that dont burn.

I recently picked up a new 2018 tour series Comet.

One thing I noticed is this new tour series Comet does not hold that sweeping anhyser to the ground, but instead fights out of the anhyser at the end.

Is that just a function of the fresh plastic that will wear off, or have the new ones been tweaked a little bit?

It's a combination of both. The 2018 tour series ESP Comets molded up more stable than the regular production version, and your seasoned ESP Comet is likely more understable than a new one as it is.

This is a function of how I wanted them to be when they are fresh. The stability at the end of the flight will go away as you break them in. I wanted these to have a good life span

I was throwing mostly the original coyote at the end of the time I was with innova and that disc is now completely different than it was

Hey MJ. I am a beginner player and I really like your style and your aproach and gane play. Do you do any comentary? Would be really intetesting to listen to your thoughts on both your own and other players game.

Haven't done any of that before or been asked to do it by anyone

Can we start a petition???

How about Sexy Hippie (Nate S and MJ) or Big Hippie (Jerm and MJ)?

Someone contact Jomez!!!!!!

Or CCDG! My first disc golf videos were the 2014 Worlds, and I remember watching MJ on CCDG coverage. That was the first time I heard of MJ, the mythical Comet, and even anhyzer. I could see MJ & Ian commenting on a video. And then you could tell us what you were throwing instead of doing an "in the bag!"

Thank you both, Notro & MJ!

Any chance discraft does a limited run of esp bangers again in the future?

You'd think it would be a no-brainer as often as the infamous purple banger gets mentioned on tournament videos... It seems like the challenger and the zone are the only putters that get the premium plastic love

RIP Old Coyotes...

RIP Old Coyotes...

RIP indeed. Champ coyotes were such a workable disc.

They were sweet

I totally dropped the ball on that one. I thought I remembered you mentioning throwing Ontario Rocs. I also didn't realize anyone ever threw Coyotes.

So true.

I always kinda had a love/hate relationship with rocs

Anyone try a comet in the new ti plastic yet? Are they domey? Is the plastic comparable to the old ti? More or less stable than Z? Will they make me a sandwich and grab me a beer?

From what I have thrown of them, they are flippier than the original ledgestone Ti comets, but aren't what I would call super understable. Seem like good, solid comets

 

[mj20300]

The new plastic seems grippier than the old Ti

MJ, do you do anything different for soggy rounds? Like different clothes, shot mechanics, etc.? I'm playing in Cincy this weekend too, and it sounds like rain all day long all three days.

Hello MJ, I've been throwing some plastic here in the woods of Sweden for about a year now. How would you recommend to set up a bag of discs?

 

[Keith H]

I've been getting a bit of playing time with the new 2018 MJ Comet.

Learning to love it! Just perfect stability along with those beautiful Comet lines.

Parked a longish right turning hole that I had been struggling to catch the right line for a long time.

5ft from basket, easy birdie. Love it!

You just have to bring your patience and lots of it
