[Discmania] FD2

[onemilemore]

I wonder why D-FD's aren't available in the States.. I'm sure they would be understable. I also wonder why doesn't Discmania produce FD's in P-line plastic, I think it would make more sense than D-line. Maybe it's just for having a beginner friendly option price and stability-wise.

Gotta Go Gotta Throw had some x-out D-FDs back before Xmas. Haven't checked in awhile to see if they're still available.

a. I'd like a D line FD, so it could beat in. C-FDs take forever.

b. If 2 means, "what we really intended," as with the TD, I'd hope for something less beefy than a C-FD, that really had a glide factor of 6.

This is a new release that i'll definitely be trying out. Discmania has some really solid molds in their lineup.

I would do bad things to people to get my hands on either D FD's or P FD's if those existed. S lines take a lot of abuse before they think about being understable

P-FDs would be a dream come true.

FD-2.. who knows. Could be new parts, could be a frakenmold.

Could be an FD top on a Teebird wing, you know, while we're speculatin'..

 

[onemilemore]

I have two hopes for this disc:

1) It is different enough from a C-FD to really be a new mold.
2) The inevitable CFR pre-release and the production run fly the same.

 

[bobmcnelly]

I'm excited.

It's hard to tell what speed it is from the picture, but I'll venture to guess that it's faster than the speed 7 FD, in keeping with the "2" theme. It just seems that they would be encroaching on old CD territory with that.
I will definitely be paying attention to this.

 

[rallyguy]

That seems like it would make sense, maybe it'll fly similar to a beat in PD. God I'd love that...all that wonderfullness without the work.

 

[kcplease]

I bet it'll be like a whippet x, maybe a little faster.

 

[onemilemore]

Jussi just responded to me on the Twitterverse that it's supposed to be overstable.

 

[lohizz]

I'm guessing a saint pro/predator kinda disc, maybe a little less fade mut really hss. My guess is 8/4/0/3, like a slower PD.

The rim seems to be bigger than fd's, could be mistaken.
If Jussi says it will be overstable, that is my answer. :gross:

Psst... Secretly hopin' for a slower Firebird... :clap:

 

[Jouni]

I have used few D-FDs in the past, they were super flippy as new and thus I lost them quite soon in one stupid downhill hole...

Ot took about one season to get S-FD to season to perfection with my infrequent throwing, and it was still nothing compared to d-line.

 

[smdude]

My guess is a 8/5/0/3 type disc.

 

[Flick Maniac]

Oh, cool. That pretty much what I thought they might put out next. So, a little slower firebird? I will definitely try one out, although I am not sure how much room there is between a very stable C-FD (I think the 2nd run ones are most stable, some people call them mini-firebirds) and a C-PD.

But the more discs there is to try out, the better the chances of finding one you like.

Also, "more understable FD" makes no sense to me, even the S-lines beat in fast enough, not to mention the D-lines (hard to get in the US I know). There is no P-TD either, so I don't know if there is something that makes molding certain discs in Pro plastic more difficult. Especially the old softer P-line would be super tasty in almost any DM mold.

 

[MikusRighteous]

Maybe in the middle of a teebird and an eagle. And the glide still at 6. That would be the bees knees

 

[DinosaurThunder]

Jussi just responded to me on the Twitterverse that it's supposed to be overstable.

Do you think his wording of "May the spring comes fast" is a hint of a May release date for the FD2? That would seem like a long lead time from the first posted picture.

 

[VictorB]

I bet it'll be like a whippet x, maybe a little faster.

so, like a Blaze?

 

[smyith]

it really is a hard guess. they are missing 2 slots (maybe 3) in their fairway lineup...both OS and US......they need that in their mids too (I have all 3 and they all fly straight nuts with varying degrees of glide...actually their glide seems to go up with the number when I think about it). I would think that the OS fairway slot would be more key to address since a FD cant be truly OS but can be worked to US. But we will see..

 

[Jozzz]

I think there will be an April release with CFRs from Hero or DGV coming a month or two before.
