The Gospel of the PD

[kcbill]

i lost my well seasoned 172 chartreuse s-pd in some nasty ivy and just about shit. looked for a long time with no luck.

so with tears in my eyes i pulled out my 150 s-pd on the next hole and wow. it had been months since i've thrown it and with a little snap it just seemed to jump out of my hand. i threw the 150 and my original 167 p-pd for the rest of the round and fell in love all over again.

What kind of power/distance do you have? I have never thrown anything lighter than 166, and a 150 sounds interesting as I am in the 325'ish power range.

How does the 150 fly in comparison to the heavier weights? Especially distance wise.

 

[kcbill]

i don't notice any drop off in distance for any 150 class disc. it's just a different feel when you throw, timing etc. and the wind can be a little harsh sometimes.

but the s-pd is good in the wind and with a little hyzer the 150 still excels.

Drop off in distance? Shouldn't it go farther? My 167 S-PD is noticeably longer than my 175s. Undoubtedly the 150 is even longer.

 

[booter]

others correct me if im wrong but 150 class arent meant to go farther...theyre to go as far as heavier weights just with less effort.though that comes with a saccrifice in wind resistance. Not saying they cant but thats not the intention of the lighter weights

Indeed, Booter. I was actually going to post the same. I have several 150 class S-PDs, ranging from 150-155g. These things are fun to crank and fly just like their heavier counterparts. Every year my buddies and I host our own 150 Class "tournament," and these things are staples in my 150 bag just like they are in my regular bag. One of the S-PDs now is seasoned enough where I get that sweet hyzer-flip/turnover. I love it too because you don't have to throw it hard and yet it goes almost the same distance. For me there definitely is a difference in consistent max distance when comparing the two different weights. I get my max weights out to 400+, but I don't trust the 150 classes to do the same consistently - especially if there is any crosswind or headwind. I usually put a little less sauce on them, and am perfectly happy with a predictable 350-370ft drive.

Any chance of getting P-PDs in a softer pro plastic? I'm a huge fan of the PD in all plastics. I'm also a huge fan of the Pro Leopard for all sorts of control/straight/turnover shots. All the pro leopards I've had are in a very similar plastic: flexible (but not floppy), great grip. They have a wear nicely too: you don't see too many big chunks coming out of them (unlike R-Pro and harder Pro blends, dx) and they hold their shape (unlike r-pro, dx). At the same time, they have better grip and glide than the hard pro or any of the premium plastics. To me, the plastic of the P-PD is a totally new thing. I've never seen any other innova produced "pro" plastic with that rigidity and grip. I like it, but...

I would really enjoy a P-PD in a softer blend (a al whatever's in the leopard, TL, etc). I would use it as a control/turnover driver. I suspect it would have a straighter/glidier finish than the current P-PD (which is already ridiculously glidy/straight).

 

[Timko]

The first run P PDs were a slightly more flexible blend.

 

[Fizzy]

Sneaking suspicion: the PD has a mild plus-configuration rim. Discuss.

I missed a previous discussion about this?

Just bought a couple of the CFR mold, Production C-line PD's. They're both flat and weigh about 171g.

From my understanding these should be more stable than the regular production run C-Lines correct?

I'm looking for a meathook C-PD to duke it out with my Pred's as my wind fighting control driver.

This is true for me too.

 

[Timko]

I like the PD.
