I think the only reason I stopped throwing them was that one day Davey Mac kept pulling discs out of my bag and asking "what's this for?" "why do you have this and an X-Clone?" yada yada yada. By the end of the night he had talked me into an Aviar/Roc/Cyclone/X-Clone bag and I stopped throwing a lot of discs I really liked.
Honestly, if I was in your shoes and had the ability to bring some of these back I'd be worried about the big diameter discs. A lot of those bad boys were "drivers" with 22+ cm diameters. I'm not sure if the game has a place for those anymore.I think they translate well to the market today.
A little slower than most mid releases, a small head & a really comfortable, almost chunky grip.
I love the Croc and I look forward to getting these bad boys into the hands of Lightning newbies
The #2 Driver was the F-15 Eagle, it's a really really ancient mold. It's a bit of a mid top/fairway driver wing hybrid with a Cyclone-ish diameter. It was always a longer Roc. People wouldn't throw them because of the stupid disc golf politics of the day, but they were missing out. It was a great disc. And...it floated.

But whatever...you sold Stegos. I think you can sell anything!
I think there is some real potential there with the under 22 cm diameter discs like the Blackbird, the Bearcat, the B-25, the F-15 Eagle, the #2 Hyzer and the #2 Upshot. Those are solid molds that would stand up in today's game and somebody marketing them again should work.
Maybe even the Spitfire? It's big (legal to 185g I think) but it's the n00best disc ever. You can throw that thing nose up all day and the big diameter just sort of smooths it out and it glides out for a nice throw. When I started it was the only disc I could throw; everything else went straight up and then hard left. It was teh n00bsaver!
man,lightning was my favorite back in the 90's. i loved throwing a lot of their molds,plastic didnt really bother me. my first realy dg bag was the lightning tournament bag and was filled with lightning,millennium and old dc. kinda curious to throw this mold,i love the name btw.
The Croc is a stable mid-range capable of being cycled into various stages of wear.
The mold is an old school design with a smooth dome and a small beaded wing.
Players will find solid resistance to turn when powered up & comfortable finish.
The Croc is to be molded by one of the original manufacturers of our sport... LIGHTNING DISCS!
Awesome to see RDG partnering with Lightning :thmbup: Love the throwback style!
Any chance you might do a run with some sort of flat-topping process?
It should. The SR-71 did. It wasn't as crazy as the tapering on say the X-15's but it was there and noticeable.I can't remember, did these have the same tapering flight plate where it starts really thick near the rim and thinner towards the center?
