    So, how did you play today? Part II

    Played a LOT better today. A few simple mistakes, but all in all a much better round. The right Comets do the right things, and I've gotten some more useful experience with shot selection on the course. Chase card tomorrow, 3 strokes out of cash. Time to see if I can get under par on this...

    Found a creepy crawly early in yesterday's round, then we had a turkey on our cart for a bit, but sadly not the kind that helps your score...

    So, how did you play today? Part II

    Played my first tournament round at Bald Mountain yesterday - a championship level course in the woods. I figured the best strategy was to let my Comets do the talking, and that was a good plan - if I chose the right Comet for the shot. Bald Mountain is also a hilly course, so a few times I...

    Tooling underneath, or no?

    Thats kind of what I've done with mine. It's going to be my partner's first speed 11 disc. He's not quite out to 275 of distance yet, and I figure that's just about right for it.

    What's it's weight, and what's your distance like? I've got a 154g one that flies like yours, and a 168g one that flies like a nicely seasoned neutron one of the same weight. I throw 375ish.

    [MVP] MVP Disc Sports (Part VI)

    This is a pretty accurate description from the throw I gave one. It's really, really straight until it starts slowing down, then it just dumps a little. It's like... a less versatile Comet. That's not a bad thing, but if I didn't have the Comet in my bag, I still think I'd choose a different...

    That's how mine all fly (neutron locks in, fission has that extra drift) - how do the new ones fly differently, for you? I dig the "notch" at flat. That, and not being terribly nose angle sensitive, are the reasons I took the Scorch out of my bag in favor of the Wave. Knowing it would flip to...

    [MVP] MVP Disc Sports (Part VI)

    I've found mine pretty consistent, if I'm honest. I've got a 154g Fission that's unreasonably flippy, but each flies relatively the same, for its weight. I've got a 156 Cosmic Neutron that's definitely a step flippier than the 168g Neutrons I've got - but no more than you'd expect from dropping...

    That DGLO waves were all pretty flat topped when I got mine. Could it be a stamping thing? It's also way beefier than any of my other waves...

    Let's be real here for a second - collectors have been charging prices that are too high for discs they consider to be rare for decades. See the historic prices of USDGC Rocs for example. They're discs nobody was buying to throw, and solely inflated the collectors market for collecting. People...

    [Discraft] Crafting Low Scores - Everything Discraft!

    Mine is the same stability as the max weight Z Swirl one I normally bag - but where the max weight one is a little domey, the Z Lite is total puddle top. I've thrown a Z Lite Heat, as well. Definitely more difference between that and it's full weight counterparts, than the Raptor.

    I've got a Z lite Raptor. Decent grip. Kinda gummy.

    I just noticed looking through the MVP Pro Shop site that there was a run of prototype Proton Watts. Anyone manage to snag one of them? How do they compare to the Neutron ones?

    [Discraft] Crafting Low Scores - Everything Discraft!

    It's more of a midrange than an approach disc like the Zone or Ringer series, though. My friend tried it out to replace the Malta, which she doesn't like the feel of. I haven't bothered with any of Discraft's more overstable offerings. They're not for my power level or style of play. Could...

    The way I keep hearing it described is, "A Buzzz OS OS". Slightly shorter, and more overstable than a Buzzz OS.

    It makes me sad that No Foolin' is Amateur only. It seems like such a fun event.

    [Discraft] Crafting Low Scores - Everything Discraft!

    For what it's worth, I do find that Z-Swirl flies notably different from the other plastics in the current lineup. I've usually liked it better, because of that. My favorite Fierce, modern Comet, and Raptor are all Z Swirl. More glide on all of them, but they're also more resistant to turn than...
