Anyone tried this?

I didn't know this existed until now.

I've never seen anything like it. It's a great idea though, provided you don't get splinters and like firm discs. I would definitely try one if I had the opportunity.

I believe some of the original disc golf discs were made of wood.

Email sent to them with questions. I will definitely be ordering some soon. Thanks for the heads up!

They're pretty darn expensive! I can't imagine they will become too popular.

Someone on here made a wooden disc, you guys can search for the thread and what not.

 

[yearofrolling]

Yeah, I'm gonna try it too.
I'll let you know how they fly in March! Stoopid winter...

Ya would they warp/waterlog if played in the rain alot? I assume they would be water sealed though.

 

[nickc]

I would imagine they would warp pretty hard or crack if they hit a tree.

I could hardly read through the website it was so poorly written....but what a cool idea! I don't think I'd try to throw one on the course, but they'd make really awesome trophies.

I can definitely see some durability issues with it being wood and all,
but my home course is a really nice, grassy park, pretty open, too.
I think it will novel an fun but I don't see it getting used around roads and trees too much. I have some Vibrams for the trees...

If nothing else they will look sweet on the wall, or made into a clock.

@yearofrolling
Around here, there are so many hills and trees. Lots of tight fairways. They're laminated, which usually is pretty strong, especially if the grain crosses over. I could imagine they're sealed, too. But humidity would kill them just as much as trees or a road would.

Trophys are a good idea. Maybe one could get a custom wood burned image. Kinda like a CFR disc.

 

[atl scott]

When I get mine I'll throw them and let you guys know. It'd be nice to get some sort of guarantee against cracking (since the site claims none have ever cracked before ).

I agree the site is written such that it seems like english is their second language.

Seems like the putter would get pretty beat up fast from hitting the basket/chains.

The website doesn't have any info on the flight characteristics of the discs which would be helpful. I wonder how consistent the discs are as far as that goes or if they all fly uniquely.

Wow! There is no snow on the ground and it is going to be in the 60's tomorrow. Go out and play.

My friend's grandpa has some old disc golf discs, and they're rather large slabs of wood. While I'm sure you're just as right, I didn't say the first, I said some of the original.

will they be PDGA approved?
