May 31st in Lodi, CA, I will be playing in my first ever tournament. I have my wife, brother-in-law, friend and 10 yr old son playing with me. We are all excited to get out there and play. There are 70 players total, with at least 5 of them in the Junior Division (including my son). Men's and Women's division as well. I am looking forward to playing, winning or not, I am there to have fun. I am sure there will be some great competition and for a guy that shoots over par for the course we are playing at, I am looking to drop my score and be competitive within my own group. The discs look good and I have two more Trilogy Challenge tournaments lined up; June in Amador and July in Carmichael.

I've been wondering about the discs. I'm assuming all the same weights? Looks like a variety of colors. What are other TDs planning on doing to get players the discs? Let them pick? Hand them a random 3?

The Claymore is a Buzz-like mid through and through. Shallow rim depth, flatter plate. I am a die hard Core guy and I haven't had my Core in my bag for about a month now. The Claymore is in that slot. Cleaner releases I feel and less nose sensitivity. Very easy to control.

The Shield is a floater! Slow, and deeper rim depth, it easily wants to stay in the air. It is slight OS, a la Aviar, Wizard, Judge but fills the hand more and has much better glide. a better approach putter for many than an off the tee putter.

I unfortunately haven't gotten my hands on a Thief yet.

The Recycled line feels nice, like a softer seasoned Gold Line even when brand new. I don't see how flgiht could differe from a GL disc. The Shield is in Bt Medium, which is the same as Blend, feels great with a soft and tacky flight plate and firm rim.

kdfrosty in the vip was selling packs and is a TD. He got his yesterday and said they aren't marked for weights so maybe the TD will have to weigh them.

They might possibly be laser etched for weight and he missed it but I doubt it.

Couple of reasons they might not be marked for weight. Possibly not time to laser etch all those discs. With well over 200 events I think on the schedule by now that's going to take a lot of discs. I also wonder if they aren't marked so they didn't have to disappoint some TDs by logistically being able to give them exactly what they want. No way to do color and weight orders on this scale. You also run the risk of shipping out a bunch of packs for the early events and then running out of anything but light weights for the events towards the end of summer. To prevent those people getting the shaft with nothing but 165 g discs you just make all the discs in a 165-180 range and randomly ship them out discs and colors. That way the people who show up to events early can feel and look for what they want or the TD can match up the packs ahead of time and try to give everyone a decent balance. That's just what I'm thinking.

 

[Matt B.]

This is a little disconcerting. I really don't want to weigh all the discs and try to match people up or take requests. I wish we'd have an official word on how they are handling it.

Just me speculating on why they might not be marked for weight and a few possible reasons. You wouldn't have to weigh or worry about it if you didn't want. Just put them out for people to grab or put them together without a concern for weight. If you're worried about it though I'd recommend calling or emailing DD and asking. They'll let you know what's going on and possibly tell you how to handle it.

According to the TD for the event I will play in on Saturday, they are 170+.

I've got some specifics from a 25 player pack sample size:
Thief
-Only 2 discs <170g
-4 Grey, 10 Orange, 11 Dark Green/Green/Yellow variations.
-Every single one had a royal blue stamp

Claymore
-0 discs <170g, , few in the 170-174 range, but mostly 175+
-7 grey, 12 orange/copper, 6 green/yellow variations
-All stamps solid colors, but 5-6 different color combinations

Shield
-1 disc <170g
-Lots of variation in color. Some pink/purple/plum variations. Some grey/blue/white variations
-LOTS of swirly plastic.
-Entire stamp is one uniform color.

I briefly looked for weights on the Shields, but after a few I stopped looking. Unsure if Claymore or Thief is etched with weights. I think not. All of mine were hand weighed to fulfill requests and put in order for our players.

Awesome rundown. That should help a lot of people who read this. Should also give everyone a nice even playing field. I personally don't think a few grams here or there in weight makes much difference but some people are fanatical about it. I've noticed a lot of the fuzion and base plastics recently with some cool swirl to it. Even a lot of the biofuzion/recycled.

60 players packs ready to go

It looks like all 3 discs have the same stamp...

I was hoping that they would at least have the disc name on the stamp with the same logo for all.

Nope. The stamp is slightly different for each, with the respective brand being placed at the top of the Trilogy logo.

Got some test throws in today during my round. I am not playing for those of you concerned about me getting an advantage with practice.


Test drive with the Thief. Hole 2 Bradford park.

Threw it with a little Hyzer and it stood up pretty nice. Between an my beat up Eagles and my GL River in stability.

Flew about 400' on this throw.

Thanks to the giant mosquito for the perfect timing and landing on Chain-Addicted's nose.

Test throw with the Claymore on hole 3 at Bradford park. Gave it slight hyzer and came over on it a little.

This disc had some surprising stability. I would call it a slower Truth. Around that roc3 type of flight as far as I could tell.

Weather got nasty before I could film more shots.

Once again thanks to Chain Addicted for the commentary and filming.
