[Vibram] Vibram Disc Golf Thread

[TalbotTrojan]

VP is shorter than the Zone, I have both and often carry both in my bag a the same time. I would say that the zone may be slightly more overstable but it is also faster so it is a hard comparison to make exactly.

What he said.

I am really hoping that all this holds true with the Trek having more glide. I love my Ascent, but it just doesn't have enough glide for tailwind drives.

Just depends what you need your drive to do with a tailwind.

I happen to think that the Ascent is one of the more consistant fairway drivers in any wind condition.

Anyone have a clue what the May Vibram Monthly Contest is going to be?

I am getting final approval for it and should have it up by the end of the week. Thanks for noticing the delay, it shows people care. :-D

If I need to go straight into a headwind, I throw the Ascent.
If I need to go straight with a tailwind, I throw the Tra/ek.

 

[Easy Tigur]

So which is it: Trak or Trek?

Perfect

It is the Trak.

Between this, the Ibex, and the Sol...this is going to be The Summer Of Vibram!

I thought I read somewhere that Ibex would be a bit later.

I think Vibram should just bite the bullet, pay the licensing fee, and call the damn thing the Shrek.

if i recall Mr. Dodge said summerish. so I can guess it probably won't hit testers until a few weeks(or a month) after the Trak officially hits the market. I doubt we hear much about the Ibex until then. My money is on july at the earliest(for testers)

What's the Sol again? A putter of some sort? What's special about it?

It's designed from the get go as a putting putter, and is a bit more traditional in some senses. This time it might actually have some glide. =)

Sir Dodge has said that the sole is a beadless putting putter vs. Putt and approach. They are also designing it to have some dome to it to increase glide. I can't wait to see and feel it. Although I have tomsay that I am extremely disappointed to bear that the vibram logo will not be in the middle anymore

I didn't realize that they were moving the logo on ALL the discs. I thought it was mentioned that it would be in the middle for putters and on the edge for drivers/mids. Thats a little disappointing. I kinda liked the current scheme.

 

[chris deitzel]

I don't understand how you guys think that the Ascent has no glide?? It goes father than a TeeBird or Eagle with a similar flight. It always seems to go farther than I expect it to. Not sure what you guys are talking about??

And the summit has great glide as well?? You guys must be doing something wrong.

 

[justin]

Every disc flies differently for different people. I wouldn't say we're saying it has "no" glide. It's a fast fairway driver but I don't think it keeps itself aloft as easily as a TeeBird or JLS for example.

 

[Mr. America]

What's the Sol gonna be?

ETA:
Never mind, I thought I was at the end of the thread

Steven has a tester Ibex that he has been bringing around to his demos. I was lucky enough to be at a demo where he let us throw it in the empty section of a PGA Superstore Parking Lot (the male half of BillnChristy was there too). My initial impression, after throwing it, is that it's a really good midrange, and should be popular. I really do envy you testers for getting these discs before the rest of us, but I suppose getting to throw the Ibex and Trak before most of y'all, if only for a few minutes, is consolation. And hey, what's a few weeks in the middle of the human life expectancy?

 

[billnchristy]

You probably threw the Sol too Lewis.

So whats the proto Ibex like? Stable/straight/understable, glidey, fast/slow, etc.? I'm anxious to get my hands on one regardless. I love my buzzzes, but I think I love Vibram more
