Discmania (FD) Jackal

[discspeed]

I FINALLY got a chance to throw my 175 DGR FDs alongside my TEST FD of the same weight. They are all orange. I was a bit surprised to see my new FDs fly as understable in the high speed portion of their flight as my seasoned TEST disc. They still have a more pronounced LSS than my TEST disc currently has as well. It will be interesting to see how they season. Everything else about them (glide, dome, feel, speed) seems pretty spot on with my TEST disc. I'm loving these things.

 

[cfair]

question. How would you range this disc? Longer than a Gazelle/Cyclone? or shorter?

 

[juju1]

A bit longer, glide being one of the biggest factors.

 

[Frank Delicious]

Def longer. More in the teebird/eagle distance range.

 

[zj10021]

It is a speed 8 if you go by the AA speed

All i have with me out here in the mountains is my 175 FD and a soft Ion. No course around here but ive been getting them out on the frozen lake to toss around everyday and this FD is a ton of fun. Pretty odd year out here where there's no snow on the lake so the ice is all polished making for some crazy long slides once the discs land. They just keep goooooooing.

The wind picked up yesterday and i had some great fun throwing my ion up into the wind at 45 degrees. It'd go up up up p, start coming back towards me, hit the ice in front of me, skip and blast off back at me. Great fun!

I really want to pick one of these up. Where could I find a 167-171? Anyone buy one and not like it, send me a PM and we can work something out

 

[Rol6566]

Have an FD on the way, Cant wait to throw this thing.

 

[Frank Delicious]

Alright who's still throwing these? I am and they have pretty much replaced my ELs in my bag right now for tighter courses. I got a couple of more in trade and have noticed that they seem to vary in stability by color with my orange ones being the most stable.

 

[dgdave]

Most stable straight neutral or most lss pull out of a turn?

 

[Frank Delicious]

Most lss and pulls out of turns.

 

[dgdave]

What color/weight hold a line the best?

 

[Trey1331]

Still throwing my orange tester, still in love. Although I have this PPD that has seasoned so nicely that it sometimes gets the attention my FD has been recieving for a while.

 

[Frank Delicious]

What color/weight hold a line the best?

Out of the ones I have the Red 172 one is best at that.

 

[MizzouTiger261]

Still digging mine. My red 175 is less stable than my orange 171, but I'm really liking them both. So much dang glide.

 

[XCyclone]

I'm liking mine, got an orange in the bag, goes pretty straight and far for a 300' thrower. Sawed a throw off the other day, aimed too high, got the nose up or something, still went far.

 

[sunspot]

Frank or anybody else, how does this compare to a Timberwolf or XL?

 

[Frank Delicious]

Frank or anybody else, how does this compare to a Timberwolf or XL?

More stable than a timberwolf and it's actually about the same stability as all the new XLs i've thrown which seem to be more stable than the older ones.

I lost my orange DGR at the Forest, any idea when they'll be available in a production run?

Sometime closer to spring.
