Warrants can be hard to find, so a Tursas, Fuse, or Bounty could substitute in the US mid slot. I've never clicked with the faster Trilogy drivers that I've tried, but with my arm I'm delusional if I think I'll get much benefit from anything...
A few years ago I got a 162g S-Line FD x-out off the Marketplace (from Monocacy, if I remember right), and I don't think it's left my bag since. I don't throw it much (I usually go from mids straight to 9-speeds), but it's too straight and glidey not to bag. It can't be much more than 10 years...
I finally got a chance to do a comparison today. Compared to my Upshots, the white disc is lacking grip rings, it seems to be slightly deeper, the parting line is much lower, and the circle around the sprue is different. The overall vibe is definitely Upshot, though, so I'm guessing that it is...
Good suggestions, thanks! Lightning Upshot didn't even occur to me as a possibility, which is dumb because I actually bag an Upshot and own several. I'll compare them when I get a chance and report back.
I got these with a group of discs from the '80s. Neither has any kind of information molded into them, no tooling or anything. They're the right diameter for golf discs. The white one is a lid. The other one has a beveled edge and a normal rounded/domey top, but the bottom of the flightplate has...
Wham-O 91 mold, 173g, no ink. A few dings, but excellent condition overall.
Destiny Discs Lazer, 163g, no ink. Same condition as 91.
I'm pretty sure the 1990 Mid America Open disc is a Roc. Has San Marino Innova tooling. Typical used condition for an old disc, with heavy-ish flightplate ink...
Bucknell University, hole 10. After a terrible tree-obstructed drive and what was probably an equally terrible second shot, I decide to throw my Lightning Upshot just because. There's a huge oak tree between me and the basket, and I go for a big, floaty hyzer around it. Instead of hyzering, the...
My regular bag is Pilot/Upshot/Zone/Warrant/Truth/Verdict/FD/Valk/Thunderbird/Firebird/Wraith. When I travel I like to put together a small bag of discs I don't normally throw (except a Pilot or two, which always stay in the bag), and it usually ends up looking something like...
The other day I rediscovered a Hero 235 in my stash of miscellaneous flying discs. It's basically a larger-diameter Sonic (aka the Hero 215). I threw it around the yard for a bit and played some catch with my kids, and WOW is it ever a fantastic frisbee! So glidey, so easy to throw and catch...
