[MVP] Atom

[Monocacy]

Did some half-arsed putting practice in the snow. Atom holds the line nicely, and seems long for a putting putter. No grip issues, either. I particularly like the Atom for jump putts.

 

[Savage Henry]

I threw my beater Atom into chain link and brick for about an hour and it seems like it held up pretty well. Some scuffs that sanded right off and maybe a little warp in the plate. Didn't ruin the flight just a touch more turn and less fade.

 

[BirdieMachine]

I tried to unwarp my warped Atom. It's a little bit better then before but not perfectly flat.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

you have a side boob?

 

[BirdieMachine]

you have a side boob?

Yeah on the flight plate.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

bummer. Ive heard those fly just fine (and you get 2 unique grips in one disc lol) I didn't have an success flattening them either.

 

[BirdieMachine]

I got a few more ideas to fix it. Damn plastic has a weird strong memory for base.

 

[wreckreation]

I wonder what's going on with the side boobs. Like if they are happening in transit or coming from the factory like that. I asked disc golf center to put them in a box for me instead of an envelope to be safe when I ordered my two firms (replied with a pissy email but did it anyway). I have been putting every day as well as doing short layups for several weeks and they couldn't be flatter. Looks almost new really. Just a few dings and scratches like you'd see on an S Wizard.

The only side boob I've seen was on one of my pink protos after a tree hit. After more impacts that has worked its way out a bit, but it's more like one micro boob now exists around the entire outer flight plate. So basically the disc has a slightly higher shoulder now than when new. Doesn't bother me though and flies great.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

I never really heard "why" but don't believe its happening after they leave the factory. The nature of it just seems molded up that way. I shipped lots of atoms in bubble mailers without a single complaint on warping and had 2 stuffed in a disc golf bag for a while now that look fine.

I imagine we never see this problem again.

The ones with side boob have 0.5 more float.

 

[tbird888]

But also 0.5 less glide. :\

I really wasn't trying to kick off a s**t storm by asking. I feel like I kind of knew what he was saying, just wasn't super-clear because of word choice. I think the Dunipace (or wherever the DG usage originated) defines "glide" as the discs ability to stay aloft. That's more like 'float' than 'speed' to me.

So I think he was trying to say what you said above Tbird, but just picked the less clear term.

 

[BirdieMachine]

The side boobs have to be done at the factory, otherwise they wouldn't hold that memory I think so well.

I did fix mine after some more intense work. hehe

 

[Toro71]

My 2 softs seemed kind of lumpy when I got them. "Boobie." Heh. I haven't done anything to them except putt a lot...seems like they've largely self-corrected. I just chalked it up to shipping issues, but I don't know.

I had the same issue and I bought mine at Pias

What does a side boob look like on a disc

 

[Aim For The Chains]

if this your first time using the site, guys?!

Um, who told you to release this info? My side boob stamp is currently being developed by Zam.

:gross:

 

[brandon21486]

:gross:

That looks unpleasant, my Atom certainly doesn't look like that and neither did any from the box at Disc Golf World I looked through.

 

[The Happy Gilmore]

Broke down today and bought 3 atoms today in the soft neutron plastic... Holy hell do they feel amazing in the hands and when putting

 

[discguy42]

^ That pic looks like a cancerous lump not a boob. Boobs are awesome and lumps are not....
