Why don't they post profile pictures regularly? It is very frustrating.

They do on some discs. Not sure why not all discs. Maybe a symptom of the approval process.

I never threw an FD. I tried to back away from DiscMania so never gave it a chance. People seemed to like it so I'll give this one a try. The FD fit in between a Leopard3 & TL3?

When I couldn't find replacements for the S-FD I substituted a Star TL in that slot. TL has a little less turn and a little more fade, but similar enough for me to adjust pretty easily. Seasoned *TL is pretty similar to fresh S-FD, if that helps.

C-FDs had less turn, more fade, and less distance for my noodle arm, compared with S-FD or *TL.

I will be interested to hear how the Fairway Disc flies.

Profile pictures should be mandatory, I always get all giddy when I see a new release that has top, bottom and profile pics.

Yeah but very much not a 3-style mold. Nice and slow and glidey.

Great in all premium plastic - outside of freak runs I have found C-line (champ of course) to vary only very slightly from the stability of S.

I may not be able to resist picking up a few metal flake or glow Fairway Drivers, whatever they put out there that molds up super stable.

The last (I think) run of C-FD was pretty OS for an FD. I grabbed 4 of them and have been bagging one ever since. Interestingly, they have bubbles in the rim similar to 2nd runs. Personally I think they are as OS as the 2nd runs but not as flat and the plastic isn't as stiff.

Is this the new FD? Just went on sale.

 

[dehaas]

Lol the description itself says it's the original FD.

Did you not look at your own link?

I love the name "Dark Rebel". Very Discmania-esque

 

[Horsman]

Can't wait for them to come out with the 2P - Sky Demon

Great. That's all I can see now too!!!

Not that it matters, I'll never even contemplate buying one.
