Advice? Frustration? Crank & Crush

[senanimach9]

I don't know if there's any advice really to give other than "throw better" but I've been pretty frustrated lately with my drives.

I just bought a 164-167 Z Crank. For the life of me I can't throw it straight. It always hyzers, now matter what. I don't know if the rim is too wide from me to get a good grip but I know I can't seem to get a snap either.


On the other hand I have an ESP Crush, which I'm pretty sure if heavier and is rated 1.8 verses the Cranks 1.3 and I can throw it nice and flat with a good sharp hook at the end.

I don't know if it's a grip issue, a weight issue or if the new Z plastic is just ornery before you wear it in (I haven't purchased a new disc in a while).

Anyway...just venting...any thoughts, input or advice is welcome. I hope I didn't post this in the wrong spot. Thanks!

Try an esp crank. I have 4 of each, the esp cranks are all more understable than the z cranks.

I'd reserve judgement until after 20-30 rips, 5-10 hyzer spikes, and a couple tree knocks seasons it.
Z will be beefier than ESP, and a flatter driver will be more OS than a domey one.

I'll keep that in mind, I like the ESP plastic a lot.

Okay thanks! Those gives me some peace of mind, I thought I'd been taking crazy pills or something.

The Crank is also faster. Probably easier for you to get the Crush up to speed.

Don't sweat it. stick to discs that are working for you.

I got a Z Crank and it's a pretty beefy mofo. Only get turn into a headwind at 400 foot rips. Try an ESP for less stability.
