[Discmania] DD3

[Moonshine]

Went to my local shop to check out the CB3 and put it right back on the shelf. Not a fan of the plastic at all. Perhaps the loyal DM fans who buy them will throw them well, but I've grown to like what I like, and that ain't it.

Please describe, what did it feel like?

I agree about the plastic, except I put money down anyway for an ugly disc. I hope the other one I bought from the DM website has a better stamp. Iridescent stamp on blood pink is basically invisible. I'll post a pic later. And also, I've had my fun with DM and their new stuff. I'm out for any more new.

Wonder why this was the last Cloudbreaker 3 on the shelf?

CB3 vs beat up S-Line DD3

Wings look the same to me, depth feels same. The new Cloudbreaker 3 has higher PLH, but that's compared to beat up.

Some people would call it a "ghost stamp" and get increased demand for it.

Just sharpie $$ on it so you'll know it's the disc you paid over $30 for. These things might be bombers but I'm thoroughly unimpressed.

Shop got 32 of them and says they were sold out in a couple hours. What do I know?

ugly disc

Dude that stamp is sick.

This exact disc was all my local store had in stock. I thought it was awful as well. Some might think the ghost stamp is cool because they are typically the rarest, but I have a hunch there will be more "rarities" than people would like to think.

I guess my tastes are unrefined, lol! When the wind dies down I hope to toss it a few times today.

Hard to describe now that I've been tasked with it. It's supposed to be a mix of their new s-line and c-line plastic and I'd say that feels pretty accurate, however, I don't think they've quite figured out the s-line material; hence the mix. Just my opinion.

Does it feel cheap? Not grippy? Too gummy? Too Stiff? Feel like a knockoff? I'm trying to understand I got one coming from DM. Kind of concerned.

 

[seedlings]

I'm holding a new c-line MD3, old C-line FD, old S-line DD3, and the new S-Blend Cloudbreaker3. As well, a Neo Essence and a Royal Trust.
Stiffness, hardest to soft:
Old C-Line
Royal
Old S-line
New C-Line
New S-Blend
Neo

Grip: slickest to tacky-est:
Old C-Line
Old S-Line
New C-Line
Royal
Neo
New S-Blend

I haven't fondled the new stuff but watching videos (which we all know makes me an authority) it seems like the plastic on the new run of Cloudbreaker is pretty similar to the gold line from Latitude or fusion from Dynamic. Kind of soft and pretty grippy.

When I get a chance to handle one I'll see how far off I was.

I held my neighbors last night and it seemed to me to be very similar to latitude's hybrid plastic in stiffness. Grippiness/tackiness was much higher than hybrid or gold line, and was slightly higher than the new c-line. It has a very distinct anhyzer top, with big poptop dome. PLH and wing shape looked identical to a heimburg Halo destroyer. Didn't throw it, but also didn't really give it to be too special in the hand. Probably a great disc, but not tempting me from my Forces, Zeus's, and Grym's at all.

You'll need to feel it for yourself to form your own opinion, but to me it felt like a stiffer Pro material with less grip. That sounds like Star, sure, but it's not quite there. Every other company, for the most part, tries to make their own version of star, but DM is in the unfortunate situation of having to make their new discs feel just like their old discs, or hopefully better. I don't think they've succeeded with this blend.

Last night a very good friend of mine gifted me the new Cloudbreaker 3… I'm not usually one for collectors discs or limited drops, but it was a very nice gesture.

I never had a DD3 before, but it does feel nice. Plastic feels most like Lat64 Gold Line more so than Star.

Now the real quandary; do I throw it?

I bought two myself and I'm throwing them.

Some people online were saying the new Cloudbreakers have a weird ridge on the top, almost like the Destrulcans.

It looks like a two line Avery I used to have. Wish I still had it for comparison.

It's still a plastic circle, right? Yes. You throw it. It's literally what it was made for!!!!

 

[DiscJunkie]

Now that the new production Swedish DD3 is out there, any updates from you DD3 throwers?
How do they fly?
1. Domey vs flat
2. Red vs pink vs blue vs yellow, etc. Rumor is that the blue is most over-stable…
3. 176g is the max weight, what is the lightest weight you've seen?
