Of course. I was just speculating like everybody else.

Its odd for sure but Larry is no dummy. He wouldn't be working with them if it weren't possible to put out product at a price point competitive with the other manufacturers. He's pretty disc golf savvy.

Essential is not the only disc company using a manufacturer outside of the game of disc golf for what that is worth.
Based on appearance, I was assuming it was.

He definitely seemed like a sharp guy. All I was saying is that it seemed strange on the surface.
My point wasn't that the supplier wasn't a DG manufacturer, but that they were likely used to producing higher end plastic parts than needed for DG. That generally comes at a price.
The company I work for is usually looking for a level of quality/precision a bit below what would be required for automotive. If we go talk to an automotive supplier, we have the expectation of a higher price than from our usual supplier pool. Their processes are setup to achieve that level of quality. Aerospace is another step above automotive.
Other side of the coin, there are suppliers who are too quick and dirty even for us. Those
are the kind of suppliers who would seem like a better fit for dg.
Agreed. But its par for the course with Larry. He's a strange dude.

That's how my company makes various plastic parts. :hfive: (even more so if it's not seen by a customer!)

wtf do you mean "they?" This account has to be Larry - the owner of Essential Discs. Replace "they" with "us" or "me."
Don't get me wrong. The Honey is a great disc...
Actually Dave, This is Larry. I am not so big headed to make a handle such as 4U2NV. I mean hey, I like the name, and thanks for the promotion, but that is not me.
Yes, The kickstarter is live as of now and the tooling is all already made. Prices are just for the discs. Because we share the same space that other major manufacturers use like GE and whatnot, in order to get time on the machines on a more regular basis, they want us to show them that there is a demand and need.
The facility just built another wing with 6 more machines and told us if we can raise the money they would dedicate that wing to discs exclusively.
To help the cause, how about you post up the link that you are getting these discs from. :thmbup::thmbup:

I was actually a sign spinner when I was younger. It was often hot but usually amounted to some fun. Just not as much fun as throwing discs.

Not looking like the project will be funded.
Are the Honeys still in production? Is there a contingency if the Kickstarter doesn't go thru?

Ah well. I was hoping to get him chatting for some exposure. Leagues are about to start up so I'm sure I'll hear about it soon enough.
