Boss, Nuke, Groove, Katana, "Ninja"...I hate these discs.
Today I played a round at my local course and, after the first couple of holes, I caught up with a small group that was playing ahead of me. They were nice guys (all in their 20s), and I hate playing my myself, so when they invited me to join their group I accepted.
Throughout the rest of the round I watched in despair as each one of these guys threw some form of Boss, Nuke, or Katana 250' off the tee, in a tremendously overstable flightpath reminiscent of my brand new Z Predator. Even worse, they were reaching back and throwing as hard as they could, grunting and screaming, and their form off the teepad looked more like a drunk guy slapping his wife.
I hate these wide-rimmed discs. I've been playing disc golf three years now, and I've only witnessed perhaps a half-dozen guys at my home course that were truly capable of generating the amount of armspeed required to throw these discs correctly. Yet everyone seems to have these in their bags! If you are lucky enough to see someone throw a Boss that truly has the armspeed for it, it is a sight to behold. I've seen a Boss go 500'. When I saw it, I didn't say, "Nice drive...", "Wow..." or "Oh, Yeah..." My jaw dropped open and I said, "HOLY SH@#!" :shock:
My point being, if you don't have "HOLY SH@#!" distance, you shouldn't buy a Boss, Nuke, Katana or other speed 13 fat-rimmed driver. The people who have "HOLY SH@#!" distance know it. The people who don't have "HOLY SH@#!" distance......c'mon, man... ...I mean, seriously dude... ... who did you buy that disc for, you or your ego?
The next time you are thinking about buying a Boss, Nuke, Katana, or other speed 13 disc, use the following checklist:
1) Can I palm a pilates ball with one hand?
2) Do my knuckles drag the ground when I'm walking?
3) Can I crush a rock with my bare hand?
4) Have I ever caused a solar eclipse?
5) Am I, or is some part of my body, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records?
:lol:
