2019 Disccraft Ace Race

[RUSSELL]

from facebook:

"In honor of our 40th Anniversary we've decided to do something special. We'll be bringing back one of our original discs that is no longer in production and remaking it for the first time in a premium plastic, specifically for the Ace Race. 2019 is the Race of the Classics!"

I, for one, am stoked!

 

[RUSSELL]

Phantom?

 

[tbird888]

What else do they have from back then? The Eclipse?

Phantom?

One of my brothers waxes poetic about the Phantom he used to throw back in the day. That would make him happy for sure

So if its the first time in premium plastic that will narrow down the choices to mostly older discs. A quick list I could come up with not including the lids would be: Phantom (and variants), Sky Streak, Cruiser, Eclipse, Windstar, Vortex, Deuce, Tracer, Shadow, Marauder, Typhoon, X-Clone, and MRX. They are all discontinued and OOP, and to my knowledge were never available in current "premium plastic".

I could see it being the Phantom just because it was their first "disc golf" disc. Personally, I want to see a Sky Streak in swirly ESP.

Does Discraft have any discs which are OOP, "classic," AND not PDGA approved? You know, to stick with the "prototype" nature of the Ace Race.

The MRV came in Elite X plastic....premium at that time.

When I read the quote, I thought it meant one of the original Ace Race discs. I wonder if any of them were never made in premium plastic.

 

[Jay Dub]

I vote Vortex.

The "Deuce" would seem higher on probabilities considering it's a disc suitable for an Ace Race.

The Phantom and Sky Streak came in premium at that time plastic as well.

Imagine the abuse you'd get if you dropped that disc on the course.

I bought an old Phantom+ from Ginnelly at Spinners when I was living in Phoenix.

It was basically new.

Went to a baseball field to throw it so it could land in grass.

When it landed, it exploded into like 10-15 pieces.

I have one in Elite Z.

What about the Hawk? Was it ever in premium? Flight looks similar to Buzzz SS... the kind of thing that would be good for an Ace Race maybe.

same thing happened to me couple of years ago, although it lasted 11 holes...
the thing is, when they were new, they were indestructible, and that's why I chose the Phantom over the Innova XD at the time

Yes. Nate Doss has done In the Bag Videos showing his Z Hawk.

I just now noticed it was the MRV mentioned. I purposely left it out because it was made in Z plastic as I also have a few of them. The MRX to my knowledge was never made in anything other than the Elite Pro plastic from back in the day and that is why I included it on the list.

Lol....you are right not bigmatt. You wrote MRX and I read MRV. Thought that Elite Pro was a nice plastic, back in the day. I remember having a XL, APX and a MRX in the plastic. I still have the APX.

I guess it's the Eclipse, Hawk and Wildcat.
