I just lost my Innova Groove yesterday over at Prado. Yes, I know, so what, it's a groove... but I had a pretty good handle on that bad boy, and could average 300' regularly with it. I know that's not a lot for that disc, and it is a newbie "common mistake of buying discs that are too fast for me" type deal, but still, it's gone...
Then, last time I went to Oak Grove, about a month or so ago, I lent a couple of discs to my buddy, he had forgotten his in his other car. On hole 12, throwing over the ravine, he lost my aviar putter on his second shot, and I lost my Champ Tee Bird on my drive. A couple of holes later, on hole 15, there was a little river running through this area. I throw my Discraft Buzz, all of one week after purchase, only to have it ricochet off a tree and into the river, that is literally 3' wide, about 6" deep, at it's deepest, and full of those round river rocks, where the river bottom opened up and swallowed my new Buzz ESP in whole. It was, needless to say, a WONDERFUL DAY.
I Love DG!!
