They're pretty badass. I might have to pick one up myself. I played a tourney and was sinking gimmie putts like a breeze, I love the grip. I still can't decide if I like the firm or x-link better. When you want these bad boys back?

OH, I get you. I understand now. I was referring to the Blake part. I do have a part time job, no full time internet yet. I might not be on too much longer. But, if I was Blake, I refer to myself in the third person quite a bit. But, nah I'm not Blake. He has little interest in DG anymore. Plus his injuries keep him from enjoying it if he did play.

I'm lost, what are you talking about? LOL!

Finished training and supposed to hear from the company I interviewed with in 2 weeks when they are supposed to be approved to make the hire.

Got them in today, thanks. Of course, it's raining and crappy outside today. :doh: So one is firm and the other is regular X-link? I take it the swirly pink one is the firm one. Preliminary fondling has resulted in me likey so far.

Ouch, where do you hail from? Hopefully you didn't have that crazy tornado weather we had last weekend.

Yeah, that's pretty close to what I'm trying to do - except that when he reaches down he seems to rotate the disc nearly vertical. I was trying to reduce variables (thought I got from push putt videos) by keeping the disc flat throughout the motion and not rotating the wrist.

With that:
1) At this point I'd like something stiffer than the SSS Wizard but not as stiff as the DX putter I've tried.
2) I tend to like the bead.
3) Not sure I've tried overstable and understable putters enough to say.
4) I like a somewhat grippy material. I think it sticks in the chains better. I see this tightly related to question #1
5) Shallow rim - I've got relatively small hands and don't like the really domey disc.
6) Not sure, the feel of the material is the most critical.

In general I like the material of the SSS wizard, I'd just like for it not to be quit so floppy.

I've seen some of videos about push putting but every time I try it all I get a disc that wobbles / flutters toward the basket. I haven't figured out how to stabilize it without some spin.

So here's what I'm currently trying: Straddle putt (I like the idea of being about to put either foot behind the marker, with a straight arm upward swing and little flick of the wrist to put just enough spin to keep the disc from wobbling. Does that make me a spin putter or some hybrid freak?

No, started back to work at the zoo. As I work outside, we're basically "on call" until weather stabilizes. No more babies (I hope )

Nobody here runs an "official" Discraft ace race, but they do run two a year. 1 on Memorial Day and 1 on Labor Day. Both at Vienna Park IIRC.

Did you get my earler message?

I'll give you the same advice I gave my wife when she needs me to do something while I'm at work.


"Remind me when I'm at work."

It never used to. I decided I wanted a moving avatar too so I made the wheels turn a couple weeks ago.

I'm on call pretty much all next week, when did you have in mind?

Sounds good to me. Thanks for doing this, you're a right old bloke.

How cheap is it at PIAS? I Usually pay 8-10 shipped. Hopefully you can pick it up for me, ship it, and still make some money.

That's quite an offer, I'd be down for that. You want me to PM you my addy?

in response to the putter question. I did get a lot of nice advice, but a QnA to really help sounds good to me.

Sure. When I'm at work tomorrow.

We did Mt Cook and The Remarkables last year when we visited family in NZ. Since we live in TN, we get to do little weekend trips to the Smokeys a couple times a year. My wife really enjoys being outdoors too, so we enjoy going for long walks together and seeing what the countryside has to offer.
