[Discraft] Paul Mcbeth Luna review

[slowplastic]

Just got an email from Sun King discs and they have the Big Z Luna in stock for......$50.

Hard pass

But...




I'm sure that'll convince someone.

 

[discerdoo]

But...

Not saying I don't want one and dropping a c-note for a couple wouldn't bankrupt me. But yeah no.

I doubt anyone would spend $50 a disc on these for a thrower, that's usually reserved for people who are already addicted to old school Innova mold/plastic combos that they believe they can't replace any other way.

They sold out pretty quick on sunking. No way i was dropping 50$ on one

Especially since I could just throw a Big Z Roach for $14.00. :|

 

[elmexdela]

the market shift on disc prices is kinda funny

Please Discraft give us a 5X Premium LUNA in 2019. . . this is Discrafts "most wanted" disc so why not just MAKE them?

They called them warehouse finds, didn't look like they had very many.

So they say, I'd like to find a Big Z Luna for $15 to see if it is a bit more OS than the Roach.

From what I could tell, they are so close that at my skill level there is no difference at all. They feel the same in the hand, they fly just about the same. If you wipe the stamp I'm 100% that I would not be able to tell the difference. Once there are multiple runs of Luna's out there they are going to overlap just in normal run variance i.e. a particularly stable run of Roach will be slightly more OS than a less stable run of Luna.

So yeah, no way in Hell I'm buying a Luna when a Roach is cheaper. I mean I'm a disc golfer, fer God's sake! I don't know who these people paying $50 for a Luna are, but they are unlike any disc golfer I know.

I putt and throw JB Roaches, tried a proto Luna to see if I liked the plastic but the more I've thrown the JB, the more I like it. No way I'm paying $20 for mid grade plastic putters either.

I've tried Big Z and Ti but I need something a bit more OS for Okie winds, short of my Zone. Thus, I'd like to try a Big Z Luna. Maybe I'll find one for $10 in a used bin, until then the Envy stays in the bag.

A little birdie told me there may be a Cryztal Luna on the way soon.

Dude at my shop says he's getting 25 of them and will hold one for me. I'm only interested in it as a thrower but I gotta say that stamp looks fugly.

 

[Jolt]

Unfortunately i think many of these are bought just to make money of them on ebay

A few people going to buy up most of these. .

I just want one to throw. . but i don´t think i stand a chance to get one here in Sweden

So I just got my Luna today, and after a 9 hole round, I've never felt so comfortable with a beadless putter. Only missed putts were my fault, and I didn't miss many (besides the 3 putt that I airballed and then missed weak left side). Just had to reevaluate my putts on the Mach3s. Worked really well as a driving putter as well, almost could roll Luna and Zones and be alright.

 

[Jolt]

Looks like most stores just gets 25pc of the CryZtal LUNA, all the ones i have talked to will get 25pc
I hope some of the Team players will have a small reviews out before the Sep 20th. .

My JB throwing LUNAs gets to US in just a few days, need something more durable for throwing

 

[Treeknuckle]

Any chance the Luna drops to a more reasonable price anytime soon? Literally the only reason I haven't given it a shot is that 19.99 price point.

Yeah I am not dropping any money on a Luna anytime soon anymore. The unavailability in different plastics and the fact all the insane collectors are gobbling all of them up makes me want to give up on them. A Luna will not be a thrower anytime soon for me. I understand what Discraft is doing and I certainly can't blame them for going crazy with the McBeth hype but its still frustrating.

After throwing the one and only Luna I did manage to snag I have seen the wisdom of putting the Roach back in the bag. No idea why in the world I took the Roach out in the first place...

Jawbreaker grabs the chains so well. Discraft is going to be redesigning Big Z stamps so the bug will be gone. That's all the Roach you need & it's super available.

My local disc shop has announced that there will be a run of ESP Lunas with bottom stamps commemorating McBeth's 5th European Open victory.
