bead and beadless?

[underpar24]

I guess i should know what these terms mean but i don't. Can someone please explain. Thanks

Avair has a bead on the bottom edge of the disc........ an XD does not
Same goes for a Roc(beaded) and Mako(no bead)

If you look on the very bottom of some discs where the nose ends, you will notice a small bead of plastic.

wizard with bead on right


voodoo without bead on left

Hope this helps

The bead is the little "round" piece under the lip. Rocs, Wizards, and Aviars are some discs with a bead

 

[CaptainAnhyzer]

Correction......... KC Aviars have the bead

It acts as a stabilizer. Some people love discs with beads, some don't.

Just cause it has a bead doesnt mean it will do one thing or another. Depends on other things like how beat up the disc is

Voodoo does have a bead, it's just smaller than most. Right?

Some DX Aviars have a small bead as well. Of the 6 DX Aviars I have, only one has a bead. My Star Aviar does not, but my first run Pro Aviar does.

If I am not mistaken, here is the breakdown:
Aviar P&A used to be small bead, now is beadless (DX, R-Pro, & STAR).
Not sure about BB/SB status of Pro Aviar.
Omega SS carries the flag for the small-bead Aviar P&A mold now.
KC Aviar, JK Aviar, Champ Aviar, STAR Aviar Driver are big-bead Aviar Driver mold.

Does this mean that they no longer make the Classic Aviar? I thought that was the only Aviar that was beadless. Oh well.

It acts as a stabilizer. Some people love discs with beads, some don't.

So, if I get this right.... as an example, I would probably want to use a big bead aviar for driving short holes and long approaches, and only use a beadless aviar for putting and short approaches?

It's all personal preference on which to use and when. A lot of people use the BB star aviar as their primary driving putter. I particularly use rhynos but there again, it's whatever feels best in your hands and flies how you prefer.

I know some players who can't use discs with beads then I know some who prefer beaded discs or a mixture of both.

Annie has a face.

Just remember that.

Now lemme 'splain for ju.

Hyzer means the disc is tipped down , anhyzer the disc is tipped up.
When you tip the disc up, anhyzer, you can see all the writing on the top of the disc. The face.

When you tip the disc down, hyzer, you cant.

So anhyzer, or Annie, has a face.

That's more work than just memorizing which way a Hyzer shot goes. :thmbdown:

Here is a bead cartoon for ya:
