I too am interested in the quality!
I actually really like em. they are raybans knock offs. I would say the glasses alone would retail about $10 to $15.

So say it's $10.. The two discs included. $36.. Water bottle is like $10? Then the mini $3.. Sticker $2.. About $52 and it costs $25.. That's really cool. :clap: to you discraft!! Bravo! :thmbup:
I agree!

:doh: Trust me, they make a killing on the ace race event.
I think you are wrong on this one. Those water bottles, glasses, minis, etc. probably cost a combined total of $4 per players pack and that's a high estimate. Especially considering their volume, they are able to get super low price points on that stuff. So for the cost of ~$20 a players pack to the TD's, Discraft is pulling in plenty of mula on this deal.

You need to look deeper. They charge 18. They lose money on shipping. They give out hundreds of banners, flags, pencils, posters and more, every year. Plus staffing. Plus the manufacturing costs of the discs and minis. Plus 300 prize packs with a bag and 9 discs.
They break even, at best. It just amazing advertising.

Hooray Discraft!!! Bringing a disc golf event to the masses and hooking it up dirt cheap!
If that isn't promotion of the sport at its finest, I don't what is.

Anyone anticipate having extra players packs? There are no events around me (and I'd never hit an ace at one anyway), but I'd be interesting in buying one.

I just participated in the first Ace Race of the year (Neosho, MO). The disc flies pretty well. The glasses are not too great IMO. All in all it was a fun event.

Wider, for sure. The disc goes straight for a long time and has a very hard fade at the end. Very consistent disc.

Talking rim width, right? Because that's just what I'm looking for...
Yes. Rim width or the speed of this disc.

Thanks for clarifying!
They should name it the Mayan...y'know, since it's 2012 and the whole apocalypse urban legend thing, PLUS if you're old enough you'll notice the name keeps with the "bee" theme!

Prototype next to a QJLS; no statement here, just what I had on hand.
Not the most comfortable grip. Fingers too scrunched for a driver, not enough of a beefy rim to feel like a mid in the hand.

I would like to see some videos of people throwing them.
