I'm there on the Harp curve somewhere. Great disc. I haven't thrown any of the others.

Interesting. The McBeth Effect is huge (no surprise). Ricky's impact on the Pig is also pretty noticeable, while the Harp appears to have weathered the temporary exodus of people leaving the bandwagon. I'm curious why the Envy was included in the comparison though. It's a much straighter flyer in my experience.

I'm surprised there wasn't a bigger uptick with the Pig, since I remember seeing everyone and their moms bagging Harps once Ricky started parking everything with them.

I think the thing that really moved the Zone was Brody.

It would be interesting to see the drop in Harp numbers when Ricky left Lat64.

Good point. Having never been an ultimate player nor a big youtube content follower, Brody stays pretty much off my radar. But he may very well be the biggest boost for the Zone.

Just based on the timeline...

If you weren't following his Get Freaky sales, they were pretty nuts. Online re-sale immediately after they dropped, was at like 300% of retail, and they were being bought.

..actually more like 400%

How about Tactic and AviarX3?

I think the Pig is more of a niche disc that you either love or hate the feel of. Those that throw them are die hards, but you don't see them in the wild often.

I tried the pig, standard R pro, and didnt care for it so I wiped it off my radar. I recently tried someone else's Wysocki pig and liked it. May as well have been a different disc. Can't buy them though.
Honestly I've contributed to the sales number of all of those discs and ended up favoring the ryhno.

^ This. Been trying to locate a pink Ricky TS Pig all season, but no luck. There would be higher sales if the discs were on the shelf. Pink Pigs should out number all other colors, cuz Pigs are pink

I love my soft Harps and tour series zone. Harps for less slide and windy putts, and zone for harder fade and some slide.

Most the pigs in Iowa tend to be a kind of dirt colored, unless they've recently been washed.

The best testing pigs are mostly black: Berkshire, Jeju Blacks, Mangalitsas, etc...

I was inspired to put the pig back in my bag.

Played a pig only round on the front nine at my local pitch and putt course. Shot -7 and had several near throw ins.

Think the Zone might stay home for a while in favor of the pig.

No wonder Pig sales go up the way Wysocki uses them, but that's Wysocki. He comes i to Innova and takes a mold that hardly no Pro uses and use them to perfection.

Not surprised

Zone changed my game. But I only bought one Soft Zone and it has the perfect combination of over stability (even after a lot of use) and grip with sweaty hands. Nobody seems to have been selling them for a while.

I bought a Jawbreaker Zone and it is much more flippy from brand new. I know I could get a Z Zone but I found ESP almost impossible to grip here in South East Asia and I know Z plastic is just as slippery.
