[Question] ID a disc or ask "What is the story on this disc...?" - Take II

[jupiterboy]

...bottom picture would help...bottom should show about when it was made

What I was saying about the stacked discs is that the white and pink ones look more like a Puppy profile than a Super Puppy because the are more angled, but there may be other molds so maybe that's just me being an internet dummy. lol

Looks like this XD I have. This has no tooling at all.

I can't say about the Puppy vs Super Puppy. I don't know that much about them. I also never held one that was gummy as you described but that doesn't mean anything. I owned one but sold it a few years ago.

So I'm still digging, and reading about the DGA Kitty Hawk Driver and finding discussion of this "Generic Golf Disc" (link below).

Profile and bottom shot to complete the ID info.

This is early stuff and I haven't seen anyone but maybe Threeputt have info on this.

Facebook has groups for older disc golfers, history, etc that have all the old timers. Single digit PDGA numbers have been in those groups.

If you have an account there I'd search them out if no one here can help.

Generic Golf Disc is waaayyy before my time, but it's the closest thing disc golf ever got to a diss track. My understanding always was that it was a Puppy clone made by DGA with the adequate driver-breakable plastic stamp on it as a direct jab at Jan Sobel's Destiny Discs products that were DGA's main competition at the time. It's an amazing piece of early disc golf history; if I had one I'd actually frame it in a shadow box and hang it in a hall that never gets direct sunlight. I own like 800 golf discs and that one is cooler than my entire collection combined.

And I'm starting to think this is a DGA Kitty Hawk.

That's an amazing story, and it makes sense. All I know is that for me it was one of those trunk buys and I was told it was too heavy for legal competition.

I'll keep looking and try FB. Thanks for the info!

I think at the weight it might technically have been legal, but you will never know because DGA never submitted the mold for PDGA approval. It's this weird little one-off notorious disc and kinda amazing that somebody just popped on here and went "oh by the way, I have this" with one. Probably the coolest disc that ever popped up on this site. :thmbup:

I have no idea how to run the guy down, but a guy named Steve Hartwell used to have a website with every geekish thing you would ever want to know about Midnight Flyers, Kitty Hawks, etc. The site is dead now.

There's a guy with that name in this Facebook group.

Couple more...

Late to the party but those were a Super Puppy/P-38/P-38. Somebody posted the second-generation P-38-J here a little bit ago, these are earlier P-38's. The really early ones don't have the lines in the hotstamp so these are not the early original ones, but still cool.

Was reading about how they killed off that P-38 design when the Japanese market started to happen. Yikes! That should be a case study in some marketing textbook.

Thanks again for the input and the leads!

Yeah, that was later; '94-'95-ish. I was selling discs at the time and it actually helped sell discs to the rec market since how the disc was supposed to fly was on the stamp.

It didn't help sell a second disc to them because most people can't throw and the disc wouldn't actually fly like the path that was on the discs when they nose-up n00b hyzered it. :|

Stupid questions

It's late, and my mind might not be working, but what is the Prototype disc??? The Zeus's numbers are 12/5/-1/3/1.9 the other disc 12/6/-3/2/1.0
I just can't figure it out...

It's a Hades.

What is the story behind this disc?

 

[Twmccoy]

What is the story behind this disc?

Did they write a mold abbreviation on the underside? Could be an Aftermath.

 

[midrangemachine]

Trying to figure out what this disc is for over 10 years possibly a champ t-bird?

Can someone please help me figure out what disc this is I've thrown it multiple times and I'm thinking possibly a champ tee-bird

Does it have Innova tooling on the underside?

It looks like about speed 7, but doesn't appear to have the Teebird lip on the edge of the wing. Or, maybe it does; it's hard to tell. So, perhaps a TL or Eagle L?
Show a profile pic of the wing. It helps to see the shape of the wing.
