Holy crap I read the whole thing!!! I've had this thread up in a tab on Firefox for the last week or so and will occasionally click on it and read several more pages. Now what do I do w/myself?
MJ>Great thread. It's always really nice to see people who are down to earth and happy to chill w/whoever is around, no cliques. Given the massive love for the Comet on these forums and the constant advice to use them for working on form, my next order has 3 X Comets coming my way, as soon as my money deposits heh.
I've been searching for a favorite putter recently. I started disc golf w/a Soft Magnet last year and then suddenly I had 6 putters last month. Aviar (my daughter's disc), SSS Warlock, Eraser Wizard, Neutron Ion and Eclipse Anode. I haven't actually thrown the Anode much yet, but my recent rounds I dropped down to the Wizard and Ion and they seem to be taking turns making really nice putts for me. My Wizard helped me make a 30' putt today and normally I never make those
I have been thinking of exploring a lower profile putter like a Star Wedge and this thread brought the Ringer to my attention. Do you have much experience w/the Wizard or Ion and if so can you comment on how that switch might go? I've also become curious about the DD Classic Judge, which seems to get billed as a slightly squished Wizard. Maybe that would be a better direction. Not sure. Sucks there are no stores besides 2 PIAS and Dicks in town to buy discs. Nothing non-Innova and a few Discraft at all.
BTW, the Comet w/your face someone worked up just makes me think in a weird way of Aphex Twin putting his face on everything on his albums and in his videos. Less disturbing than his use of that technique in a video like Come to Daddy or Windowlicker, but it's basically the same headshot style.
I'm also still sad Ween is no more. Got into them when Pure Guava came out back in '93 and only got to see them one time when they were playing Iowa City, IA back in '99 on the Paintin' the Town Brown tour. I had a couple of friends who played disc golf back then but never got invited out and just thought it sounded kind of odd. I wish I had started back then. My 7 1/2 y daughter is getting nicely addicted now tho, which is pretty awesome. Someone handed her a Comet to throw one night and she hurled it pretty well. I may have her bag one of those 3 I'm buying when they come in.
Keep up the great playing and posting and we'll keep reading this thread man. I hope things are clearing up w/your family and that things will be back in order soon. If you come up to any of the Louisville area tourneys I'll probably be taking my daughter w/me and I'll say hi. My 5 yo gets a bit bored w/disc golf yet heh. Charlie Vettiner Open in late July. They're using Feldberg's win the last 2 years to advertise so I'm guessing they may have him in again to defend his title. Would be great to see your Comets tearing up Charlie Vettiner and Seviren Lang. I'm still counting my par holes on one hand most days, so I won't play, but I'm enjoying the heck out of getting better since I got laid off last month
EDIT: Wow, rambley. At least it isn't a wall of text heh
