    The Ask MJ & Comet Love Thread

    Anyone try a comet in the new ti plastic yet? Are they domey? Is the plastic comparable to the old ti? More or less stable than Z? Will they make me a sandwich and grab me a beer?

    ^so soon then? Not much spring left. Will keep an eye out...been patiently waiting. So when they do release they'll be regular production runs or do we have to try to scoop up the limited tournament or special edition ones?

    Any news on when we might see some ti comets again?

    [Millennium] Omega: The Alpha and the

    Ordered some from Amazon cause I got a student prime membership...not bragging but, got that free shipping!! ���� Anyway, I don't know what I was worried about. Received 4 Omega SS's (3 were 1.46 and one 1.45). All felt comparable to my current putter, all flew as...

    ^^^ I am humbled by your knowledge.

    Yeah, that's good advise. I just like being able to handle them a little beforehand but can't find a store that carries them. I'm not very picky about anything else except my putting putter. Once I get to the point of seeking out and paying big money for 11x Teebirds and going through stacks...

    [Millennium] Omega: The Alpha and the

    So I saw some CS Wardens at PIAS and got one to try. Felt good. Top is flatter than an Omega. Did some putting with it and didn't like it. Drops left a little too much at the end of flight for me. After reading about how glidey they were i thought it might make a good replacement but that...

    In the past few days I've done a lot of researching on the Omegas. From what I gathered from some older threads is they changed the plastic to a R-pro blend around run 1.25. The one I have doesn't feel like any R-pro discs I have though. It's more soft/velvety and not soft/rubbery. May just...

    I putt with an Omega SS that I've had for about 8 years or so. Absolutely love it!! It's gotten pretty gnarly in that time and I am looking to get some backups. I've "auditioned" some other putters in that time but nothing ever felt as good or flew as reliably. I would love as exact a backup...

    When you give a friend directions in DG terms From your driveway hyzer onto Maple. Anny onto the service road then hyzer-flip to fade onto the expressway. Bomb down the center until you see the exit for the interstate. Sky-anny onto I-35...beware the OB, it's deadly. Theres usually a back...

    Hey, I've been to Flagstaff so I know exactly how hot it gets in Az. :)

    [Innova] For the love of the Bird! ..Teebird that is!

    I could feel the FLX Drone bending a lot in my hand on forehands and a little on longer backhands...totally turned me off grippy plastic. Will scoop up a G* bird and try one out. I read this whole thread and they sound promising (especially if they keep running them instead of hooking me on...

    [Innova] For the love of the Bird! ..Teebird that is!

    I tried a FLX Drone awhile back. Hated how it felt in the summer. I guess that prejudiced me to all grippy plastic. Have never tried anything in Gstar...guess I'll have to remedy that. You said they dont get floppy. Does the plastic soften up at all in the heat? And how so? Found some...

    [Innova] For the love of the Bird! ..Teebird that is!

    I gave Gstar some thought but I live in Texas and thought they wouldn't handle the heat very well. Those echostars were perfect in my mind...grip was nice and the glide was awesome!! I don't have a lot of experience with different birds and didn't feel the need to experiment since I liked...

    [Innova] For the love of the Bird! ..Teebird that is!

    Seriously?!? I was seeing them on eBay for $16 + $3 shipping and thought that was outrageous. Guess that explains it. Will keep an eye open for more that are reasonably priced. Don't wanna get into chasing oop discs and having to shell out for them. Thanks for the heads up even though it...
