Ace Race Disc this year?

[New013]

anybody happen to be going to the Wilmington ace race next sunday?

 

[Lamp]

Damn, next sunday? All of the ones in my area are in early September...

The info is up on Facebook. Wide, neutral, beadless putter. Sounds like an Aero to me.

Im thinking aero too

Prototype disc for 2011: wide, heavy putter!

2011 Ace Race prototype disc

This year's proto is unique and sweet, and we think you're going to love it! It's the widest diameter putt and approach model Discraft has ever offered, so it can legally weigh in at a hefty 183 grams (subject to PDGA approval)... that's at least a full seven grams more than other putters! The disc is obedient to its master and goes where you throw it, delivering directional precision and soft, flat landings. The rim is beadless and feels great in your hand. Think of it as a shorter, slower Comet that is hungry for chains.

class: putt and approach
plastics: ESP and Pro D
width: 22.06 cm
max weight: 182 or 183, depending on PDGA ruling

i'll show up no matter what they put out because the ace race is a blast...I am a little hesitant about this but optimisticas well. I have a 75% dcraft bag and trust them at least as much as any other competitor...

Hey boots I've never thrown an aero, does this mean my wishes of a zone ss will not be fulfilled?

 

[Frank Delicious]

If I had to choose a way to describe an aero, "zone ss" would not be it.

 

[Lamp]

Yeah, I figured.

 

[booter]

Lol yea its definitely not a zone ss. If u want a zone ss id get a pro d and beat it in

The aero is kinda like the comet of putters I guess

Come do the one at the Disc Nation driving range!

 

[booter]

I might this yr. When is it zj

 

[zj10021]

scheduled for Sat Sept 3. probably a weekend, show up w/e, thing like last year

 

[Pwingles]

This new disc sounds really....disappointing. It should be fun to have an ace race with, to watch 90% of everyone out there turning it over, but after that, mine are most likely for sale. I hope the bag is somewhat awesome tho.

 

[New013]

i'm sad about the disc choice, happy about the bag... either way its well worth the $26

A heavy, neutral, large diameter putter? I'm actually getting pretty excited...

+1, i think it will be a lot better than people think.


If vibram, Discmania, MVP etc made this disc you guys would be dick-punching each other to line up and throw it first. :lol:

 

[BrantC]

They should call it FAT BASTARD.

 

[booter]

Ok?

 

[himynameismatt]

Im actually pretty stoked as well. Glad to see DC taking some risks if you will when it comes to disc design. Really hope the comet description holds true.

 

[peppermack]

I'm excited to! I hope it is very aero like, and it makes it to production and comes out in Z and FLX!!
