[Crimson75]

*drool I hav to try one of these now. They look nice and would be perfect in heavily woofed courses where you wanna use a good driver but can't sacrifice beating the crap out of it. Me likey

 

[Timko]

Plans have changed; I'm going to pick one up later today at lunch.

UPS man just brought me a package. I opened with drooling anticipation but, alas, it was a Z Xtreme I received for a trade. Dammit; maybe tomorrow…

 

[dgdave]

Well you can't be too disappointed with a z Xtreme showing up

 

[Vegan Ray]

Meh. It will merely take its rightful place in the backup box with its 26 brothers & sisters. This one is opaque orange, though, somewhat of an exciting bonus.

 

[dgdave]

That's neat. I don't think I've seen an opaque one. I've had a couple cloudy red, though.

So did any more of these show up anywhere today?

I get Ridge, Summit and Ascent, but how does VP fit into all of this? =)

VP was the internal prototype name we gave the first disc. It stands for Vibram Putter. We decided to keep it, although we decided to not name our first driver using similar initials. :lol:

Hi all. The first two weeks of July, we shut the plant down for an annual cleaning and to do major equipemnt review/repair/replacements. The day before shutdown, I got 20 some Ascents molded. I sent one of each of these to the Team Vibram folks and our Pinnacle Retailers. If you want to fondle and test one of these within the next few weeks, you'll need to talk to one of these folks. Otherwise, tester Ascents should be going out in a couple weeks.

As usual, if you are getting a tester Ascent, I will shoot you an email with a link to the online form to fill out with your comments (and as always, please have as many people as possible give it a whirl.)

And before anyone asks, we are full up on testers right now ( :shock: ) and I am developing a system for getting new testers to replace those folks that don't respond with feedback.

Heh, we used to do the same at my plant. We implemented a TPM program to eliminate the need for it though, it appears to be working quite well too.
