snap helios

[snap1]

so what are we looking at, flightwise?

I am discouraged to disclose too much beyond long and fast, but think flat stable as aposed to the trend toward overstable.

What weights will be produced? I see there's a 150g Helios on eBay; will there be low 160s available, or will there be an 18-gram gap above 150, as is often the case with Innova and Discraft discs?

We have produced a comprehensive range or weights from 150 class up to 180 in what we call our Earth Grade Resin (EGR-R1), which will be the debut release. Our Fire Grade Resin (FGR-R1), comparable to Star or ESP, will be available in a more limited range from the high 160's to max. weight (180).

In terms of durability, what's EGR comparable to in the Innova/Discraft/Gateway world?

I guess the e-mails I sent Snap before didn't get me onto that preorder list, or a response for that matter...

You probably were added to the pre-order list. Let me know of your real name and I can confirm. We didn't necessarily reply to every order, but will be in contact before shipping.

Sent you a PM

I'd say closest to Gateway's S (personally, my favourite plastic), and same price as DX and D.

i want to throw some of these soo bad

 

[nearly zer0]

Did anyone receive one of these yet?

I haven't heard back from Snap regarding my order, they haven't taken any payment information yet..

 

[uNicedmeMan1]

dude man from sunking told me at BG they would be taking pre-orders soon

 

[Timko]

I got my pre-order confirmation email this morning. Trying to switch a weight right now (a 160 for a 150), but as soon as I do, I'll be placing my order.

11.00 with shipping. Pretty damned good!

not to stir things up, but just curious...why doesn't snap discs get the same flack as discwing? Both seem to be a bit behind in delivering what they promise, but nobody ever says a word about snap?

Because the QK original hand pour molds that were tossed at 2004 Worlds (right?) have never seen the light of day. 4 years, no disc. The Helios has only been around for 6 months. That, and some of the Snap team have been throwing them since February, so most people figured they would eventually come out.

cuz snap has not been lagging and bullshitting NEARLY as long as discwing has with the QK2. and beacause of the stupid ass marketing for the original QK

 

[J-Man]

It has to be the historical American affection towards Canada and dislike of the British empire. In the Articles of Confederation our treasonous founding father invited Canada to join with America while staging a civil war against King George. That's gotta be it. :wink:

 

[BlarneyStoner]

Matt from Snap told me they were shipping on Monday... anyone get theirs yet?

 

[Jesse B 707]

nope but i ordered mine through prime discs(they said they should be here this week)
