[Latitude] It exists!!! The Opto Pure Thread

[Kayman]

3 meters? Thats not a putt. I can put a z Xtreme in the basket with my opposite hand from 10ft away. I am talking 25 - 50ft. Spitouts for me, happen way more often with a grippy putter like a zeroline pure. Atleast on the weak side of the chains. I would rather get a cleaner release with a premium plastic putter. Blowthroughs will happen. It happens with every disc on the market. Just wanted to know the flight. If it flies like a zeroline and feels like a zeroline(flat), I have found my putter. If not, back to the star xd's.

It does feel thicker than a zero line and it does not have the same grippyness. If you could get over that I think it would serve you well. You do sound like a perfect candidate for one of the TM2 Pure though.

I'm on the fence with these. I used gripline pures last year and found them to be great at driving and approaching, but ultimately took them out because I didn't like the feel of the plastic. These optos are also great fliers too, but to me, the opto plastic is stiff and slick, which I'm not a fan of.

I use a z zone a lot, and I like how it is shaped similar. It's like having a stable zone. I wish the plastic felt similar.

The flash on mine are ridiculous. Both on the nose and inside rim. It's sharp enough to make them a bit uncomfortable to grip, but I'm concerned about what removing it will do to the flight.

The opto has a slight dome, whereas my zeroline is pretty flat, almost puddle-top like my Yeti pro. The flash is a bit sharp on it but it should wear down. Only had a chance to try a few practice putts and it has a little fade at the end. Zeroline is pretty straight.

I was curious how the TM2 compared to zeroline in terms of feel, durability and flight. Probably should ask in another thread, but then some troll would say I need to search. :\

I've been putting with the zero pures for over a year now and driving & approaching with the grip pures for the same amount of time. Personally, the zero feels a bit more tacky and is a bit more grippy which is why I will continue to use them versus the tm pures.

Durability and flight wise, they are very similar; practically the same. Really, the only difference I've notice between the zero and tm pures is that the zero is a bit softer and grippier-which I like. I've played 2 rounds of 18 thus far with the tm pures, plus putting at home with the mach lite-that's what my opinion is based on.

Hope this helps.

Sorry. I meant 30 feet or roughly 10 meters. Brain stopped working.

Thanks! It does. :thmbup: I'll be using the opto's for longer approaches and get a couple of ZL pures for general putting. They feel great so you answered my question about whether the TM is a viable option.

Yeah, the tm pure's are definitely a viable option-they feel great. When it comes to putting, I strictly use zero line plastic.

My 176 opto pure is phenomenal! It will compliment my broken in 172 grip pure. :hfive:

 

[booter]

still loving my opto pure .even though the flashing is gone,it still goes super straight with a little fade. i used it alot today and its just $$$ every time!!

 

[sloppydisc]

Only a couple rounds so I am still getting used to them, but I like them. I even started to flick them a little to work on my ****ty FH. Have actually made a few decent short approaches with them FH. I'll stick with them, but would really like the next run to have some lower weights. Something from 168-172 would suit me better.

 

[IronJack]

I removed the flash from the nose of one and it flies the same. Great disc for driving, it can really take some torque.

 

[Kayman]

Ok, Opto Pures in conclusion, to thick for me to putt with. Removed the side and bottom flashing(before throwing) and fly really well for driving and approaching. I will stick with the Star XD's for putting. 250ft drives and approaches are now in the Pure department. Found a place in the bag for them. Woohoo!!!

 

[Pure rocks]

The opto pure is a pretty nice disc. Will pop up from a hyzer and will track just a bit right if thrown flat. This is with the flash removed. It can also be thrown pretty hard, I can probably get this out to 280' or so without a real problem. This plus some zero line pures and a sinus can cover all your putter shots.

 

[Disczealot]

I currently drive with M Ions and the only downside is extreme ricochet off trees. Will the opto pure have this same issue?

 

[Sean Johnson]

It's a premium plastic putter, and a relatively fast one at that. So, yes I think so.

The optos don't have nearly the ammount of bounce/spring off trees as the Grip Lines did.

Kachtz fell in love with Opto Pures yesterday at Hawk Hollow.

 

[jrawk]

Also, this disc helped me shave 4 throws off my best score at Hawk Hollow (from a 72 to a 68.. par is 63)

 

[vonDrehle]

My best is a 67...

Tell him he needs to come back.

Played Kentwood yesteday with the Pures. I enjoyed them, but didn't get many chances to try a solid hyzer (high or not). But from my initial impression, I don't think it'd kick out my Jokeri. Then again, I snap/spin more than Sloppy, so that probably makes a HUGE difference...
