[Legacy] 1st run Icon Gauge thoughts and reviews

[onemilemore]

Profile not like a comet at all. Comet is concave with a bead and the Guage is a flat wing and no bead.

My bad. Thought I saw a stack of them where the wing looked concave. Flight sounds similar, but if it is like a Mako then that sounds solid, too.

 

[jrawk]

i think i have to try one of these

Yes like a core. That was my first thought. I think Steve Rico said it reminded him of a coyote and mako in flight.

Steve throws a coyote right? I feel like I remember seeing one in one of his in the bag videos.

It definitely falls between a QMS and Coyote. It can work a lot of lines

Disc Nation will today. Our shipment came in to late to get it up yesterday. The winter storms wrecked havoc on UPS. We were supposed to have them on Monday for the launch date

Bold claims I might have to give one a try!

Which colors did you throw zj? Blue sounded nice if they're a bit more stable, green sounds good too if they're gummy.

 

[Scared_Discless]

I love this thing. Taking it to the course here in 30

Video review please opcorn:

I have never thrown any Legacy plastic, what plastic would you guys recommend me to pick up a Guage in? Does Legacys plastic have different stabilities in the plastics like other manufactures do?

Looking between Pinnacle or Icon.

I threw White. I am partial to that color for mids(the color of my favorite X-out CE QMS). The parting lines looked about the same for all the Gauges. The orange had a noticeably higher dome and we didn't get any green. My 180g white does fly a bit more low speed stable than my 178g white. The 178g also got a lot of work out on the parking lot with most of the staff throwing it. That test session led to 3 other staffers grabbing a Gauge to buy. It also held up really nice on the pavement, no major damage.

Will Prime have them up today as well?

They will go up to all our affiliate sites, including Prime, at the same time. Hopefully in the next couple hours

Will Prime have them up today as well?

Yes. Unless you hit $39+, DiscGolfStore.com will be slightly cheaper considering the free shipping thresholds. 39 at Prime, 0 at DGS.

We'll drop a note in when they're up.

Zj what did this run of Icon feel like? Is it super stiff champystar-ish? Or does it have some flex? I really like their uber stiff Icon but now that its colder outside the stiff stuff is slick and Im honestly worried about it shattering haha.

 

[snappyfingers]

This run of Icon feels like a Star/ESP mix. Nice and grippy with a little flex. Like Lion mentioned, some colors have more flex than the others. White, orange and green seem a little more gummy while the red, blue and yellow are a little more stiff. I've thrown seven of the different colors and the more gummy the less stable.

This disc is not flippy at all. Nice amount of high speed turn with a small amount of forward fade. Lots of glide and I know its cliche, but it does like to hold the line its put on. As a moderately noodle arm player this thing is perfect. It does and goes where I want and with minimal effort.

Feels like a Coyote or QMS in the hand and has very similar flight. I used to throw Cores and this is what I,always wanted my Core to be. I rememvber hearing about the Gauge forever ago and was very excited and I was not dissappointed AT ALL. If you like stavle to understable discs, the Gauge is absolutely worth checking out. Ghost throwers, this is the perfect compliment.

Support Legacy, play with confidence!
