Do you retire your disc after an ACE?

[Bones2039]

I have my first and only ace disc framed and on the wall, but if/when I hit another one I will continue to use that disc and not put it on the wall.

I voted to continue to use the disc since other than my first, thats my general opinion.

 

[AdamE]

I voted no because I still throw all my ace discs except the first one. My first ace was with a Champ 11x KC Teebird. When Climo was in town he was kind enough to sign it for me so now it's on the wall.

put your name and # on it and keep throwing it, i think even katana would give you a call.

it might mean something to you but when you die its going in the trash , wouldnt you rather it be found 1000 years from now with a thousand other discs in an ancient water hole rather then next to some used needles and diapers.

I retired both of mine, but only after I got the second one and was finally in a position to buy replacements. I used my first ace disc for about 5 years after I hit it, but I had been grooming a replacement for most of that time. It finally got to a point where I trusted the replacement more the ace so she went on the garage wall. The second disc just seemed cursed after I hit an ace with it. It just didn't fly the same after that. I know it's all mental, but I bought a new Monarch and it flew great, so the 2nd went on the wall too.

I have it written in my will that when I die my discs will be thrown into the hole on 8.

i hope your fam is hip to obscure DGCR lingo.

 

[RussMB]

Well, I'm still waiting on my first Ace, but I plan on writing when, where and my sig on the bottom of the disc. Then it will become a "No risk" disc. No throwing where it could get lost.

I won't sign the basket! Promise!

My first (and only) ace disc is now retired. At first I kept on using it because I didn't have anything to replace it with. Then I got it stuck way up a tree and spent 30 min throwing water bottles and rocks at it until it fell. I continued to use it until I nearly put it in a river. Now it is enjoying retirement in my closet.

I recently had returned to me the disc from my 1st PDGA tournament ace (Shenandoah Shag 2004, my 7th PDGA event & 2nd victory). It had been in my bag since the ace, then disappeared at Hawk Hollow about 2 years ago after a slightly errant thumber rolled into oblivion. It's back in the rotation, next-in-line after my current Champ Banshee wears out or is lost.

 

[scarpfish]

I retired both of mine. Didn't even have to think about it. If I go on to hit twenty more, will I be be so quick to retire my 17th ace disc? Probably not, unless I got a huge ace pot for it.

Only correct answer is do what you want. Its your disc.

 

[harr0140]

Still playing with both of mine, funny thing is they were with star plastic and I barely carry any star plastic because I have found I just cannot handle the drivers in star plastic. One was with a roadrunner and one with a spider, slightly more control discs not just run and gun drivers.
I did label them though with the location and hole info, so maybe someone will return it if I lose it because I had an ace with it.

 

[humchris85]

I retired my first few ace discs, but I havn't done that with my last couple aces.

 

[The Valkyrie Kid]

Nope, I just record the information on the back of the disc. Then I use that information for bragging purposes. Except for my last ACE, an epic 65 ft. ( sixty-five feet ) bomb on # 7 at Fewell Park in South Carolina. I mostly get ragged on for even bringing it up! Did I mention that it was a 65 ft. hole.........downhill too..........................jing!

The local 14 year olds I talked to there all had 4-8 career aces playing there.

 

[bongripper0420]

Got my first (and only) ace disc on the wall. It might come back off as it was only thrown for one round when I hit that ace.

 

[jdggna]

My Leopard isn't in my bag anymore, but I didn't retire it because I hit an ace with it.

 

[steven2361]

I said no but I would if I had doubles of discs or was sponsered lol

 

[howardb]

I made a clock out of mine.

Great Idea!

Ive only had one ace and it was my T-Bird 174g First Flight Edition...still have and use it today....Great disc.

 

[chuckdisc]

Never retire an ace disc, see if you can duplicate that and hit another.

Two ACE's with same disc.:thmbup:

 

[ZBoazMobster]

First run CFR Wraith Factory Second. First ACE, May 2006, STILL FLYING. Damn I hate throwing it... but it's so fugging reliable stable it's not funny.

 

[Nathanbr2]

Got one ace

Played with the disc the next time I played the course

Promptly sunk the disc on the same hole i made an ace on. :wall:
