Ching CHING discs are BACK! Stokely bought them???

[TheOtherBill]

For real, here's the announcement. They own several of the molds but not all, and they have JuJus for sale now.

 

[Sewer bill]

Tens of people will be excited!

Juju was fun floaty putter, its plastic was ahead of its time and it wasn't quite a sell out then. Floaty putters are possibly more popular now, but it will be much harder to stand out now.

I remember their mids being fairly similar (all kinda glidey with some turn) and the velocity went pretty far for a fairway but it was pretty unpredictable for me (at lease back then when I was throwing harder and maybe not as clean)

Its fun to have them back, hopefully the connection to stokley is overall neutral. I love the guy and don't mind supporting him, but I know that's not how everyone feels.

I am more curious to what he does "experimenting" than re-releasing the old ching stuff.

I wonder who is funding Stokely Discs?

 

[BogeyNoMore]

Stokley's truly an old school master of the sport, and his instructional videos are pretty good. He's a wealth of knowledge regarding just about every aspect of the game.

Nothing against the guy, but I can't get with all his decisions, and sometimes he kinda makes me scratch my head. That said, his success (or lack thereof) won't cost me a blessed thing, so I have no reason not to wish him the best.

Guess I just find him a bit of a curiousity, because he's kind of different kind of cat, and different personalities make life more colorful.

He should bring back Quest AT next.

 

[BogeyNoMore]

Quest certainly had some of the most unique discs on the market.

Good? Maybe. Maybe not.

But definitely unique.

I own all of those discs. I have a pretty cool Quest collection that I need to decide what to do with eventually.

I wanna know how he could afford it. he's not the brightest individual when it comes to money.

Unless he scammed someone again...

 

[TheOtherBill]

...and you wish him all the best, knowing that people can improve! You left out that part.

Those molds were basically worth scrap weight with how long ching has been out of business and that's usually the larger initial investment in disc manufacturing. He's probably looking at more invested in overhead and setup costs and minimum quantity runs than anything.

We also don't know the conditions of the molds or if they were actually full kitted up hardened die grade d2 tool steel or if they are aluminum. If they're aluminum they have already been used and have a very finite lifespan before becoming actual scrap metal.

It is the machines, warehouse and employees where all the cost will be pilling up.

I enjoyed the Oracle and of course the Tank, not so much the other molds I tried. Definitely Juju and I think Velocity and Genesis.

Oracle grooves were super comfortable:

Ching Bomb was always a fav of mine. Probably because I also bagged DX Eagles, which from what I understand was the same mold. So I'm guessing we won't see the Bomb return.

Best thing Ching ever did was file for trademark rights on the sound chains make on a sweet putt.
