[Discmania] Discmania TDx

Sidewinders are great - they have that drifting turn, instead of burning and cut rolling. Not sure why DM felt the need to fill that gap though...

Eagle needed a new roller disc? There was some talk that he and Simon had to give up the cross-over molds from Innova if I recall correctly.

My experience with SWs are that they even more inconsistent than other molds. There was a really dependable run many years ago of swirly light purple ones but once all 3 of mine were lost I switched to a beat champ Beast.

I don't think they HAD to give up the Innova discs; they're just encouraged to throw Discmania if they can. Having said that, i think you've had a good thought that this might have been created for Eagle and Simon to use as a roller disc.

Def. a convex wing shape a la TD and FD. The first few throws it felt like a longer FD (which I had with me to compare). I know same has been said about the CD2 but to me that is a different disc altogether, more driver-y than the FD and now the TDX. I gotta say that I was pretty tired and did not get a full power pull on any of the shots to really know the stability. More testing will ensue.

I thought Eagle threw d or p line fd's for rollers.

4) As we get older our noodle arms will need that -3

Omf....Your right. Ive lost about 20 more feet of D. Combine getting old with not playing as much anymore.. Im about to make some Mambas look like Destroyers. Jeez..

D line fds were absolute trash. Even for a chucker like myself. No way either of them are taming one for rollers.

I would REALLY hope it was a slightly more stable TD......ehhh we'll see. I like swirly S line Discmania stuff

eagle rolls dline fd's. i have heard him say about 40% power on a few tourny vids.

40% sounds more right then. I was going to say if he full bore rips into it, its going to fly like an epic.

Varies contract to contract. Simon can't throw anything besides Discmania, Eagle can (e.g. gator, max).

I bet you are missing that fat stash of sidewinders right about now.

Whoo whooooo. Got me one.

More throws today with better snap. I got to say this thing is almost identical in flight and shape to my Luster FD. I should think even my mediocre form would produce more turn if it really was -3 (as opposed to -1 for the FD). The facebooks say domey ones would be more stable but I have only this one. Some dome on it for sure, but not a whole lot.

Somehow it also feels slower than lets say a CD2 even though they are both speed 9 and the rim on the TDx is even a 0.1cm wider! But who knows - The FD is speed 7 at 1.8 and the PD whole 3 notches faster at 1.9 so go figure Aaaanyways. Not a bad disc, quite the straight flyer and tons of control. I just have such a good thing going with the swirly S-CD2 especially as the bagged one beats in, that I have no urge to rock the boat. Seriously, sometimes I outdrive everything else with that thing.

Found an insane drone pilot to produce a cool little video from the first hole of my home course. Check out his other videos too!

 

[ThomasOrion]

wow that was sweet drone footage. Nice. And for some reason you running reminded me of Zelda Ocarina of time when I had to run to Lake Hylia and it took forever ---eponas song yo

 

[Flick Maniac]

hahahaha yeah it does have a video game feel to it for sure
