I saw a few X Forces on ebay, are these going into regular production? I ask because I love X, but don't want to switch from the Z if they are going to be out of production in the near future.
Thanks, J
 
more pearly blue z plastic! , i visualize an all blue bag and stacks in my house. floor to ceiling! ....................................................f**k, i should seek help :lol:
 
what id like most is for the plastic on my new D Magnet to not peel off the top like it has a sunburn :(

There is your answer, J-Man.

Looks like a limited run
That equates for me to "limited purchase" I hate to get hooked then have them go the way of the X Pred. But then again Jeremy has some sweet white 166s at DD right now...
 
yeah. Thats always tough.


I would agree with the poster above^

a Z Meteor would be interesting, although if a meteor got even a bit more stable (as Z plastic will usually do to a run) it would be close to being a buzzz. That would lose it's appeal. I like them because they fly like my buzzzes, but I can really make them turn hard or gradual without much intensive labor or seasoning.

I do like my Meteors, they actually finessed their way into the bag and pushed out Z comets.
 
The Z Meteors were flippy like whoa...they'd have to modify the mold to make them good.

I had this happen to all my 1080s when I use to throw them. It was really odd.


On a different note, I love the stalker. it fills the slot between roc and eagle for me and is super workable.
 
I'm checking out the Stalker as well; I picked one up, way too heavy. So I'll have to pick up a light one on-line as my locals cater to the canons.
 
I'm thinking about switching to discraft, or at least get some discs in my bag. However, I know nothing about ratings, molds, plastics... I've done some research but I'm curious what you all have to say.

I throw a champion wrath 170g (distance), champion beast 175g (control distance), and a champion valk 170g for my fairway driver. I would prefer to have a tee bird, or something that's slower "speed" than a valk for my fairway, but I'll take what I can get. I've only been playing for 3 months and my only midrange is a gateway warrior 182g. Not to say I'm good but I hardly use a midrange... I usually tee off into birdie range, and just putt. However, my putting is terrible so I still par everything.

Anyways, I'm wondering what's comparable to the wraith/beast? i have NO clue on drivers, but I was recommended a fairway driver, the cyclone. And lastly, midrange? I know the buzz is popular.

I'm more testing other companies instead of looking for an alternative. I understand if a disc works for me, use it. I just want to try discraft and see if there's a magic disc in there that's right for me :)

Oh yeah, I've thrown an elite x avenger and I hates it because of the sharp rim. I still have it, and was told to just shave it down a little. Which I'm open too, but I heard avengers aren't really comparable to a wraith/beast. I don't know though.

pro d magnet, z buzzz, z pred, esp cyclone, surge (i like in all plastics, but they vary)(also, surge is close to wraith)

Just what are you recommending this for? :?:

Anyways...Not sure what the new mold Beast compares to, but the Surge is pretty comparable to the Wraith. An ESP Surge will be like a new Wraith, and the Z Surge SS will be like a beat Wraith.

The Avenger is pretty bad for having flash on it. Some 400 grit sandpaper will clear that up. I used to get cuts on my fingers from it all the time until I started sanding the flash down. That said, it's still faster than the Teebird - though not enough to keep it from fairway duties in my bag (and slower than the valk, at any rate). Check out the Stalker as well, it's slower, but a little flippier.

Not sure how the warrior flies, but it's hard for most players to go wrong with a Buzzz...
