What do you think would be the coolest type of Ace to hit?
I only searched back to 2012 so this could be a duplicate. But who doesn't like a good poll?
 
One of the coolest I saw on video was a thumber that jumped in. It wasn't so much a skip but it hit directly on the outer rim and just hopped right in the basket. I think it was a Murder Mike video of Nikko and a few others playing out in CA.
 
A roller ace has to be the best. It is so rare. I have witnessed over 30 normal (if any ace can be called "normal"), 3 thumber aces, multiple skip shot or deflection aces. Ive only witnessed 1 roller ace, it was magical.
 
... but a blind ace is just so magical...
Hard to argue with this, but there's something just as magical about being able to watch the entire flight of a disc thrown on that perfect line all the way from the point of release to the target:

The initial look right out of the hand, thinking it's on a sweet line...
The realization that it's holding a perfect line to the target 50%-75% down the fairway...
The anticipation of it crashing chains as it gets close and seeing it finally come to rest in the chains/basket...


It's like asking which Playmate you'd like to spend an evening with :D
 
I agree, but a blind ace is just so magical...

my only blind ace it took me like 2 minutes of looking around for my disc before i realized it was an ace :eek:
 
My first ace ever was a blind ace. 275 tunnel shot in the woods which finished hard to the right.

Threw my trusty Discraft Flick on a noob FH. Crazy hippie guy watching us tee off starts running down the fairway yelling to see if it was in the basket and explodes with excitement when he gets there. I wasn't even as excited as he was.

I voted long distance, because a long perfect flight path is the coolest. Or at least the most satisfying.
 
At one course I play often there is bird the loves to hang around on top of the baskets. I would love to hit an ace with a bird sitting on the basket. Then see it fly away in horror as the chains smash.
