[Discraft] Discraft Throwable Speed 12 in the Works?

[keltik]

Discraft has good fairway drivers. They are called the XL, XS, Xpress, Predator, Stalker, Tracker (sorta)

They also have really good control drivers: Avenger & Avenger SS

They have a "weeny friendly" fast driver: Surge SS

What Discraft should probably do is have another round of discontinuations. They can live without the Hawk, Spectra, their "long range driver" lineup, and maybe a couple more.

..Sooooo... Discraft kind of makes a "beginner-friendly" speed 12.

There's no such thing :doh:

Lol, why do you need a 12 speed with a noodle arm? I'm confused.

Not sure if it's 100% true but after talking with a few people who represent discraft, we were told that discraft was going to make a move into the bubble thing. It was funny cuz we were sating they should call it Nothing. Cuz its like your throwing nothing. Lemme get a 145g Nothing Nuke plz! haha.

Oh geez, I hope that isn't true.

It was inevitable that DC would make ultra light discs after the Blizzard of 2012. They have to compete or become irrelevant.

OP here,

All the "you should disc down" comments are well received. I got some lunch time practice in today and threw a couple Surge SS's the farthest I've ever thrown them. Nice nose down, flat release, slight turnover rips. A couple just as far as my Nukes.

(From a basball diamond. Not sure what D was, but probly 300, 300+)

I'll have to work on pushing my surge/ surge ss's 300+....

/k

Your arm speed (read:distance) will only improve in time and all your drives will go farther eventually, after many many reps. Fast discs like the Nuke are meant to be thrown WAYYY farther than 300'. Learning to throw a Nuke 300' straight will essentially jack your form up something fierce. I really want everyone to enjoy disc golf. It seems that you are a new thrower with a brand bias. There weren't as many 600' throwers in the early 2000s but they did exist, and they threw old slow discs.

I've often thought Discraft should / will go after Innova's Destroyer for its combination of speed, distance, throwability, and (most importantly?) rim / grip size.

To be honest, I dont feel a difference in rim width between a nuke and a destroyer.

 

[thugjitsu]

Looking at the distance from old comps I see a lot of people hitting 600+ with dx teebirds.

Hmmmmm.....

 

[Discwrangler]

Love the Force. Found it much more consistent than the destroyer.

Lighter weights bomb and flip flat.

Any plans to ever release X Forces? ESP Forces are awesome bombers when they beat in and get that glide. I bet an X Force would out bomb any Pro Destroyer any day of the week! I'd gladly pick up a stack of 20 if you did

Discraft Disc Golf:
Considering the huge success of X Nuke (http://discraft.com/pix/grc_nuke_wmd_lg.jpg , see Koling), the chances of seeing X Force are good to excellent. Thanks for asking, Stuart!

Try a flat slightly beat esp force. Lighter weight may also help.

Really? Maybe for you normal hand sized people. In my sausage hands, Destroyers are fairly comfortable and Nukes and their ilk I cant even power grip. True story.

I think he was bumping it to say I told you so to everyone almost a year later now they have the crank coming out.

 

[craftsman]

I have smaller hands but find the sp hurricanes to feel comfy and easier to throw than z forces.

Made my day.

Hey, that was my question! I totally forgot about that conversation I was having with them. It's about the same time I started really pestering them to produce a premium plastic Ringer and all of a sudden, we have a Breaker . Ask and you shall receive!
