Discraft Z Nuke

[Cr1mson3lbow]

I know that the DGR board had been full of discussion about the Discraft Nuke over the past months. Now i think it deserves all the hype it receives, as my drives are now in 400-600 ft range as before they would max out at 350. But i digress, as i do not want this to be a discussion about whether you LIKE the nuke or not...

What i want to hear from you guys, is do you think Discraft should produce a Z Nuke? OR if you know that they all ready are, bring it up in here too. I would loooove to see a Z version of this disc, as i prefer my Z avenger over my FLX, and i also feel they have a tendency to be a little more predictable in the wind.


shoot away!

how about a FLX buzzz in z plastic?

 

[booter]

wow. You went from maxing out 350 to 600'?!?! That has to be the biggest improvement off of a new disc. :roll:

on a serious note,i don't believe they will make it in z. imy guess is they can't keep the weight down in z.

 

[Lithicon]

Yeah, I'm with Booter. They had to go to a weird blend of what seems to be Pro D and ESP just to get the weight down for ESP which significantly reduce it's durability in ESP. I don't see a Z version of this for weight reasons. But, then again there are Champ Bosses.... We'll have to wait and see as I've heard nothing about a Z version. Perhaps we should nudge Mark Ellis into a private eye position.

But, my opinion is it'll be an over stable hog that doesn't fly like they're suppose to. Or if they're like the bosses and come out more flat, they might actually have some decent stability and could very well be the answer everyone is looking for!!!!!!! Either way I doubt I'll pick one up as I can't even throw the disc I have now. My form sucks more than it did before I threw the Nuke and I haven't touched my Nukes in Months anyway.

200ft increase? did someone teach you how to throw at same time?

 

[masterbeato]

that would be gross if they were flat.

 

[Muddyboots]

I'd like a more stable Nuke in whatever plastic I could get it in. Or, they could just approve the King. Haven't heard anything about that in a while. I liked it.

I think they can get the weight down... the z-force gets into the 160's so i'm sure they can get the nuke to 175g

 

[Frank Delicious]

I throw a force or a boss if I want a more stable nuke.

 

[colombo117]

I am pretty sure I read somewhere on here that Mark Ellis said he had thrown one or that he had seen one. It seems like they exist, but who knows if they will be sold to the masses.

 

[turso]

Wish they would, would get couple of em.

 

[discspeed]

I think that in reality this is further off than you guys think. For one, Z plastic is not a single entity, but a blend. It is different in different Discraft discs. If Discraft can't even make durable ESP Nukes, they are not going to be able to make good Z Nukes because in general Z is more dense than ESP.

In this situation they need to spy on Innova....Bossses and Katanas have been made in sweet and durable Champ plastic...Discraft ought to be able to figure this mystery out. I'll be testing any new Nukes that we get in and feel different from the crapstastic ESP that they have been made in so far.

Naw.... i just watched Beato's video.... and voila! extra D! i can shoot 400 ft with my Z Flash as well..

guess what i got this weekend.......ELITE Z SPARKLE PROTO NUKE +!!! It feels nice and is fairly flexible. The weight is 174g. Ill post up pics if you guys wanna see this thing

 

[booter]

y didnt you just post pics from the begining? i highly doubt its a nuke, they did run some z plastic wide rimmed driver that wasnt named yet.

Ill post up pics if you guys wanna see this thing

i don't think you'll find much interest in pics of such a thing

Really? A 250' increase by a disc and beato's video? Pardon me for being skeptical (not of beato's vid)...but I am.

 

[tuna]

i like to keep up the suspense lol. yea it says elite z sparkle proto nuke + on the sticker so im pretty sure its a nuke.

 

[dgdave]

Nuke +? Like the nuke with a bead?
