[Discmania] CD3 Incoming!

[SD86]

Update: just got my C-Line CD3 in the mail. Have not had a chance to throw it as some weather is passing through for a few days. But I did do a visual comparison of the C-CD3 with my Champion Krait. No pictures yet (will work on that), but the Krait has a "flat" underside rim reminiscent of the L-series discs, while the CD3 is a bit more convex with an "overhang" top rim similar to the FL and Sexton FB.

I'll go out on a limb and guess the CD3 will be more overstable than the Krait. I look forward to some side-by-side flight comparisons when the weather lets up.

Compare it to a Wraith wing. Much more similar than Krait.

Dug out my F2 Star Wraith, and you are right: the CD3 is not exactly the same as the Wraith but is more similar to the Wraith than the Krait.

When I compared mine, my first thought was rebranded Wraith. They are that close.

Isn't the CD3 a wraith wing with a beast top?

What I want to know is, is there even a difference between the Beast to and Wraith top.

Update: got a break in the weather and the range had drained well and was in good condition, so I got some test throws in. Among other discs, I took my C-Line CD3 (168g), Star Wraith (162g), and McBeth 3x Champion Krait (160g).

The C-Line CD3 felt good in the hand and it flies pretty well. It was not overly overstable and even had a bit of turn. It also had a very reliable fade that was somewhere between the Krait's dump fade and the Wraith's long if not skippy fade. Not a bad disc at all, and I think an S-Line CD3 will be a real distance grabber. The C-CD3 outflew the Wraith, and I think if it were in a low 160s weight it would've gotten even more distance than it did. Good disc; I like it.

The Wraith flew pretty well for me, though assuredly overstable and often had a big skip when it landed. It did not fly as far as the CD3 nor Krait for me.

The Krait was kinda sorta only 160g and I've had it a while, so I was not surprised that it was the distance winner among the three, with a slight turn and a dump fade for an overall nice, straight shot. If I had to say a disc gives me "easy distance", it would be this disc.

Overall, I'm looking forward to the day of the S-Line CD3 to see what it can and will do, but in the meantime I'll work with the C-CD3 some more and see how it goes.

From where did you get an S-CD3?

My interest is also piqued

Ok I'm officially mad at myself for not getting a membership even though most of the discs I wouldn't have thrown that is one that I definately would've along with the FD and a couple others.

WELL DAYUM

I didn't want to post a spoiler for any club members who have not received theirs yet, but yes. Max Weight S-CD3s with a "Bear on a Forest Throne" Stamp. I'm going to rip the **** out of this today!

(might try to throw a quick dye on it first, I hate dayglow discs)

 

[SpikeHyzer]

I am officially a fan of this mold. Finally got a chance to put one of these through its paces last night. As an avid DD/Wraith thrower, I can dig a mold that flies like a seasoned version of the two mentioned. No more having to cruise ebay or the market place to find broken versions of C-Line DD's or Champ Wraith's. Now I can grab a CD3 and be good to go.

Mega envious of your S-line CD3!!!!!! DO WANT!!!!

It's kinda rainy and gross out here this afternoon... Wind was up enough to not really get a great overall impression, but I'm still loving this S-CD3. When the wind settled for a minute, it got EXACTLY the flight I'd expect. Matching the numbers identically. In wind, I was bouncing up and down so much it was hard to tell, but I'm even more excited to get out in some better weather later this week.

 

[SD86]

Wow. Just wow.

Took the C-CD3 and other discs to the course as bad weather was just approaching. On select holes, I threw the CD3 into the wind (and some crosswinds). Especially on a long downhill hole straight into the wind, the C-CD3 did awesome! It held the wind nicely, and the CD3 landed within 10 feet of my Metal Flake Lucid Sheriff. Admittedly downhiil, but I was stoked with that throw(!).

Threw the CD3 on some other occasions. On one hole that is wide open and with a slight tailwind, I emptied my bag. The C-CD3 outdistanced my Tern, the Sheriff, and the River (which ran a huge glide and got down to where the others were).

On the next hole, with bad boy clouds rolling in and a disc-hungry OB lake to the left, I threw the CD3 only. It landed where I normally get my Tern to. If this keeps up, and if the S-Line CD3s are even bigger bombers, then I've got new discs to bag.

I'll test some more, but for right now, the CD3 goes into the bag as "awesome". :thmbup:

Well, Discmania just posted mystery boxes on their store. They say, quote, "* One Mystery disc that has yet to be released in each box."

So, I'm betting it's the S-CD3 since they already ran some for the Infinite VIP Club. It could be the MD4, but I suspect that if you want an S-Line CD3, this will be your first chance.
