Over 65 years old or under 13 years old: I would recommend the Onyx. Anyone whose game can improve: I would not recommend the Onyx. Part of becoming a better player is learning how to throw a disc, and because the Onyx is so understable, it is an unusual disc such that it complicates learning...

Because I don't currently own the Valley, I am opting for a frisky mid-range Trak, because what I found is that a lot of Valley-shots I just throw an Arch or Notch, even throwing forehand shots.

I would recommend the Vamp in 170s range, because this disc is a speed 7 disc that is fairly understable. This disc is my go-to driver for tailwinds, sort of like the Leopard is for most experienced players. The Valley is another good choice, though I would go with the 160s range for newer...

I think the Valley fades less than the Trak. The Trak will always want to fight back after turning to the right. Having said that, I trust the Valley a lot more than the Trak in cross-winds. I like the Trak for anhyzer s-curve shots and for long hyzer-lines. The biggest difference between the...

I wouldn't recommend the Onyx to a new player for the same reason that I wouldn't recommend an unLace, because those discs tend to create a slice, i.e. using too much hyzer-angle to compensate for their immense understability. I'd recommend an Ibex (Buzz-esque) because it will hold any angle on...

I have a 150-class Ibex in soft... it's more of a learning disc and not a workhorse mid. If you want a workhorse, stick with the 170 range, because Vibram discs tend to beat-in predictably in that class... otherwise very solid advice from august

Remember to just throw it higher if it is turning too much... the distance potential is unlimited if you keep this in mind.

I've heard that there are some consistency issues, i.e. some don't float... probably why they have been tabled.

I can see the understable mid-range need, because a lot of better players carry a Fuse or Tangent for those type of shots. Mids tend to be more controllable than fairways, which is important on right-turning holes. There is a debate whether or not anyone really needs an overstable mid-range, at...

The unLace is one of those discs that once you can control it, it is a secret weapon. I recall playing leagues in Arvig park in Perham, MN, where there is 300' tunnel shot down a dirt road. The mostly tomahawk/thumber throwers at the Perham league thought I was a professional when I sent the...

That's good news! Obviously there hasn't been much press from Vibram Disc Golf, but I'm sure that is related to Mr. Dodge staying busy with tournaments and such.

I had mistakenly believed that the Onyx was the understable mid-range, but it is more of a fairway driver. Steven Dodge has envisioned a 16-disc lineup. This helps maximize production of rubber molds among other things. We will just have to wait and see, because ever since the Four20 fiasco Mr...

The Valley is supposed to have the Lace-like flight plate with distributed mass to the rim... I will buy that based on how it feels in the hand. Also noted that the Valley has a dumpy fade sort of the way gyroscopically enhanced discs do, so this is consistent with my first observation. I find...

I'm throwing it left-handed quite a bit... building strength in that opposite arm

Amazing glide... I thought the unLace glided well. Doesn't hold a candle to this disc... 36 mph initial velcocity is a new low for Vibram. Wow.
