0.50 star(s) Impossible to play Easy location to get to course and is located in a mowed city park. The baskets are there but no teepads so you don't know where to teeoff from. This course needs help... Might be a fun course if you can find someone that knows the course.

Ess-dog, Thanks for posting that link I enjoyed watching. It looked like one of the guys was throwing a Midnight Flyer.

I came across this term Berkley grip when I was reading about these older discs. What is a Berkley grip?

Maybe it was the Super Puppy that I remember reading about being somewhat like the Discraft Rattler. Wasn't the Super Puppy the disc that was modified that became the Eagle/Aero? Three Putt it sounds like the 86 Softie was a difficult disc to throw. I bet it was real fun in the wind. I had...

Thanks for the info TAFL. I keep seeing the 86 Softie disc coming up in my research on these older discs. I did a search on this forum and it sounds like the Discraft Rattler is about the closest thing you can get today to what the 86 Softie was is that right? I think I will head out to my...

Thanks TAFL for the info. Where the Wham-o discs and the DGA discs like the Gumbputt made by Innova? It seems like from what I'm reading is that Innova and Lightning Discs molded there own discs. And Innova made discs for Wham-O and DGA also? I was looking on that link posted on this topic...

Maybe my XD was just some old stock or was a disc the shop owner picked up at a tournament. I thought something about it was different because of the way the plastic felt. It just did not feel like the DX plastic of today. On the underside of the flight plate it is stamped with Innova Champion...

I was looking up discs on http://discgolfsweden.se/ and I see the Cobra came out in 1988 then it was retooled in 1990. I looked up the Viper and I see it came out in 1992. I knew the Viper came out in the early 90's. Did the Viper pretty much take over as the popular driver? I have a DX Viper...

Thanks for the links I really enjoyed watching. Yeah those pro's can really throw those discs out there on some nice lines.

Thanks for the replies great information. Went out to my local course today a played a couple of rounds with my older molds. It was fun I was playing with couple of guys. One guy has been playing about 2 years the other 5 or so years. After playing the first 3 holes one of the guys asked me...

Three Putt,hugheshilton and Butx1215 Thank you very much for this information. I found something interesting on the link that hugheshilton posted. When you get to 1987 it says "The original Roc came out in 1987 and it was unique because it was the first attempt to put a bead on the rim in an...

discvalet, That's really cool thanks for posting this.

Hi, Being new to the sport only been playing about 6 months I've been spending a lot of time reading about the history of our sport. I really enjoy watching some of the older disc golf videos on youtube from 80's and 90's. I got addicted to buying many different molds over the summer and now...

Happy to see Avery get a signature disc back. I also think his sister Val more than deserves a signature disc. I know a few people that would buy a Valerie Jenkins signature disc.

I also enjoy watching the FPO rounds on YouTube. As a fact I watch the FPO rounds way more than the MPO rounds. The main reason is because as you said just watching the guys drive 500+ feet and hitting everything inside the circle. To me that just gets boring to watch. The MPO rounds seem to be...
