DD Classic (firm) Judge First Look

[SteezeOG]

A FedEx man barely escaped an attempted hijacking of his truck this afternoon. I played two rounds in between two trips to DD in hopes these would be arriving. On my third trip I was greeted with smiles and no longer embarrassment.

That said I don't have the energy or daylight to go a third round but tomorrow it's on. Get a look at these bad boys.

Two 175g and One 176g (max) weight Classic Judges in the most awesome swirl gray I've seen.

They're flat profiled like the Classic Soft. :hfive:
Not OVERLY firm. No chance of a PDGA issue on these but still firm and KC Pro like but velvety and tack to them. I'm sacrificing one of the 175g ones tomorrow to torture testing for my own curiosity and your viewing pleasure.

Available now in-store only at the Emporia location I'm sure the others will have them in store shortly. They will be online for sale on Friday. First Run stamps 14.99 Production stamped ones coming soon and those will be $11.99:thmbup: Please do not buy the gray ones. Those are mine. You're welcome to the white, black, yellow, pink, or light blue. Look out for a review and results with pics of my torture testing if you're interested.

Nice. Did they get any other plastics for their other discs in? (i.e. regular fuzion)

 

[SteezeOG]

Don't think so. I think you can only get Fuzion in dyemax at the moment and I'm not sure on which molds exactly. The website options can probably tell you. I got the Judge in a Fuzion Dyemax and I think there are Fugitive blanks for dyemax too. Not sure on the Escape or Trespess. I was surprised they did more first run stamps I'm happy about that. They're almost too pretty to trash one but I'm basing the wear on whether it's all Judges in my bag or I use up the soft wizards I have.

very nice :thmbup:

Is the feel similar to Classic Soft/Zero, just a stiffer disc?

 

[plastic cannon]

Yep, going to be needing a pink one. If any putter can replace my wizards, this is it.

The classic soft is a rubbery kind of grippy and these don't feel that way. Not exactly like gateway soft closest I can say would be the kc pro just better feeling in my opinion.

Based solely on look and feel and my experience with base plastic this seems really durable. I'll know tomorrow when I toss one into a rock bridge, monkey island, and a dozen trees.

I wonder how many of the swirl gray got ran. I was going to go with a black, white, and gray but when I got the three in hand you see in the picture it was love at first sight. The white does look good with a gold stamp.

The two plastics are classic soft and classic. Many put the firm in there too so there is no confusion but what you have there is what I reviewed. Hop on them, boys and girls!

I noticed with some other putters, like the rff wizard and the medium wizard, that the softer putters feel more "low profile" in the hand, while the firmer putters feel "chunkier." Is that the case with the judge?

Not at all. The classic judege (firm) is every bit as flat and low profile as the classic soft. I can't tell a difference in the hand. Both are flat and slim.

You guys better scoop them up fast I'm heading down to the shop in a bit to get a new bolt replacement. I may snatch up all the gray swirls.

Ordered a couple online.. couldnt get the swirl though :\

Just got my Red, First Run, 173 g, Classic Judge. It's the same squeeky, sticky material as the soft only it's rigid. Not Chalky at all. I was expecting it to be more chalky from some of the pro statements. The shoulder feels a tad higher and more comfortable than the soft version but still a flat top. So far, it won't be replacing my supersoft wizards anytime soon.

How can the judge be classic already? How old does a disc have to be to be considerd classic?

 

[booter]

Classic is the name of the base plastic

Classic soft
Classic (firm)
