    What disc "Saved the Day"?

    I don't know about saving a particular round, but... The Buzzz saved my life.

    Good headwind driver for a Wraith thrower?

    Every star wraith I've ever thrown has been a glideless, super over-stable pig of a disc. I throw 3 different champ wraiths and one pro version across every wind condition. A fresh, domey champ wraith is perfect in a headwind for me. My normal drive is a low hyzer-flip to 380'-390', I just...

    PIAS - Great Finds

    Picked up a pearly, pink Champ Leopard yesterday 8/10 For me that's a huge a find. The PIAS here never has a very good selection of used discs. They're also fond of putting $9.99 price tags on any used premium plastic, regardless of condition. J

    Calling all Raleigh Area Disc Leaguers

    Nope, Saturday morning at 10:30 is the club fundraising doubles (meaning a plastic payout). In the summer there's also Monday afternoon doubles at 5:30-6:00pm. Wednesday is Leigh Farm evening doubles. If you folks all want to play dubs, I could maybe get the start postponed half an hour. The...

    The Mother of All Disc and Other Abbreviations List

    EX = Eagle-X SEX = Star Eagle-X I think that's right... I don't think I've ever even seen an Eagle-X J

    The Mother of All Disc and Other Abbreviations List

    Not a joke, you'll see it tossed around when talking about Buzzzards. It does seem an oxymoron, though. My assumptions is that it refers to the first run of Buzzz's which did not have the Wasp wing (which has "WASP" on the inner rim) Maybe someone will educate me. J

    The Mother of All Disc and Other Abbreviations List

    If the goal is to make a comprehensive list then we should add: CE = Champion Edition plastic SE = Special Edition plastic FR = First run 2FR = second first run JK = Juliana Korver ESP = Premium plastic from Discraft X = step up from base plastic from Discraft Z = most durable plastic from...

    Disc minimalism vs Mold minimalism

    That's a solid point. I am involved in the management of our local club. As such, I see myself as an ambassador of the sport and take etiquette seriously. I would never make anyone wait on me to throw multiple shots. I am always irritated when I am waiting on a group which doesn't respect that...

    Disc minimalism vs Mold minimalism

    I was always under the impression that minimalism=mold minimalism on this board. I practice that to some degree, but definitely not disc minimalism. With mold min two of the most compelling arguments (to me) are: 1) learn a handful of molds very well 2) have rotations of discs at various stages...

    Tell me about Wraiths in different plastics

    The 12x Star Wraiths are nothing like any other Wraith I've ever thrown. They are really domey. They are really stable with no glide. They are meathooks and I hate them. J

    What's your Buzzz of choice?

    Completely overlapped, IMO I differ from many who've commented on this thread in that I find no significant differences across ESP, FLX and Z plastics. My FLX is 1.5 years old, heavily used, with a dome that has collapsed slightly; it flies nearly identical to my brand new Z, and 1 year old...
