That’s almost exactly how I fell into the A5 and how I feel about the Zone and Discraft plastics, loved old Z FLX, Jawbreaker and Pro D but the newer stuff never took for me. A5 all day now, I’ve got 750 Glow now too and they’re just like stock run non-glow 750 in flight, but they feel a little...

I’ve got over a dozen A5’s now, bought a bunch of 300 when they came out, now I’ve got 300, 400 and 750 plastic variants with only the 400’s being from the China factory, both my 300 and 750 say made in USA not “designed in USA” like the 400. As for stabilities, the 300 is the least stable out...

Your bag so it’s your rules on what stays… I bag both an AGL Baobab which is very Stego-like and also a Prodigy A1, they do similar things at similar speeds under 200’ but are used in totally different situations.

Spin Vs Speed has a lot to do with how some people perceive a disc, it’s very possible for two people to be able to throw 65mph but have a variance of 200-300rpm or more in spin RPM, more spin = more turn holding and more gyroscopic stability before the disc falls out of the sky and thus an...

I’ve been trying to figure out why the A5 feels better than a Zone for backhand grip, because on a profile comparison they’re nearly identical so it must be a depth/thickness variance. Personally I’m a gummy/grippy plastic addict so 400 is amazing to me, I have super dry hands but I also really...

A5 is the first Prodigy disc I’ve ever bagged, nothing else ever made me go “woah”. Sure, the numbers aren’t accurate(IMO) but 400 plastic is pretty great if you’re a fan of gummy grippy plastic and it’s crazy durable. Plus, three of the five A-series discs have a bead so the choice between...

A5 in flight is a Jawbreaker Zone but in premium plastic, I’ve been throwing Zones since 2016 and the A5 is seriously threatening that. Much more stable to OS than the numbers would imply. It’s almost exactly a Zone in hand feel, and I mean it’s super super close. See my attached picture of...

You didn’t try enough Scorches for long enough if that’s the experience you’re having. The Great Lakes Cryztal FLX hold a turn for me to 400’ no dump, same with my beat-in domey first run, kicked Surges right out same throw 30-40’ longer.

Used to throw Z Surges and Z Surge SS a bunch, all of my 173-174 SS’s are very flat and about the stability you’re describing, they’re one of the closest SS versions from Discraft to the regular disc IMO and some of them are quite beefy for an “SS” line. Once you get under 167g they get pretty...

I believe ya, at the beginning of last year I stopped into the gift shop of a state park that had disc golf on the property because I saw an Innova sticker in the window, whole place was stacked with PFN stuff all dusty, silly me I only bought what I wanted at the time then got to thinking about...

Discraft Xtreme, 6/3/1/4.

Well, the company name made me look into it on the recently approved PDGA list. Looks like some kinda of overmold technology but only on the bottom inside of the rim and flight plate. https://www.pdga.com/technical-standards/equipment-certification/discs/g1 Finnish company, can’t find a...

Vans Skate style shoes with the Gum Sole will seriously surprise you, I play in a ton of pine straw and mushy sandy dirt in the PNW and I very very rarely slip with my Vans Sk8-Hi canvas, Gum Sole of course. Gotta mind the wear though, rough concrete pads will dig into your pressure points and...

Spokane, WA here. Been awesome so far, shorts and T-shirt most days, sun in the sky till 7:30pm helps too.

Discraft Scorch, Heat and Stalker all have beads, Scorch and Heat are pretty small beads, Stalker is a little bigger.
