ROFL!
First double D's, and then talk about Crack. Wow, this just gets better and better.
Its almost like being an insider at a strip club.

I had one that weighed somewhere in the 170s and it didn't float. It's at the bottom of a pond now.
I bought it because the Marshall Street website listed it under floaters.
I've got two of those and an epic in the bottom of a pond at the Links in mo.city. Floaters my arse
Pro Boss - James Bond edition. It contains a small 1/2 oz capsule lodged under the center of the disc. Inside the capsule is a small balloon connected to a smaller capsule of frozen nitrogen. Upon triggering a remote, the nitrogen capsule bursts, releasing the nitrogen as a gas, inflating the balloon, and the disc rises to the surface. Thanks, Q.
I don't think that is PDGA approved.
When it comes to Black Ops, we're usually not to concerned with approval [insert Bond music here].
I've only thrown a dragon, and as I learned at Luther Britt in Lumberton, NC....a floater isn't doing you much good if it's 60' from the shore.
So do you have to become part of Her Majesty's Secret Service to obtain a James Bond edition disc?
I would tell you, but, well you know the rest.
Just got my dragon in the mail over the weekend. I need to get out and give it some field testing.
Yep. I used to carry a #2 Driver and then a Dragon, but I watched both of them float out to sea!!! I now just keep an old driver in the bag that I don't care if I lose it. I find it easier to forget about a disc watching it sink, then to watch one tantalizingly bob up and down forever with no way to retrieve it.

I had to revive this thread to talk about the Quest Double D. A friend of mine got me two, both in the 170s, before I moved to Amsterdam, where the only course has alot of water. The white one floated (I watched it float away, stupid wind), the yellow does not. I actually tested them first though, apparently unlike many of you.
But more about the Double D, if you get one that does float it has to be the fastest and most overstable driver available, yeah? Do you think you could ask someone from an online store to drop it in water first to see?
And the #2 Hyzer from Lightning is sweet, it is my go-to on #3 here. But there is no way it is as fast and overstable as the Double D.
Just realized I misread the previous posts. While I am sure the #2 Driver is good, I don't think there is any way it is as fast and overstable as the Double D. No personal experience though.
