I just traded for a red champy star 159 destroyer, anyone else get one of those?

 

[Mr. Plow]

Hmmmm, sounds intriguing. I think all of the lighter Star Destroyers are Champystar aren't they? I know the 8 I have are all super grippy and Champystar like. Let us know how you like it, do you have any idea where it was purchased?

 

[Frank Delicious]

The other two light star destroyers I had felt just like normal gummy star. This one is nice and feels like the red S PD I have. I am going to throw it today and see what's what.

 

[Frank Delicious]

Champystar awesomeness.

 

[SirRaph]

I snagged a couple of the clear TLs. They're really nice. They're not quite as flippy as other TLs I've thrown, but power down better than champ teebirds. They're currently acting as backups for a beat 11x. They fly and feel very similarly.

Ultralight champ destroyer = bomber

really wish it wasn't LE b/c I would love to be able to get these without paying a ton.

Please, go on.....

Are you referring to the champ AO Destroyers or the Champy-star Destroyers? I bought an AO 159 dark merlot champ Destroyer and found for long distance I had to launch it on a very sharp and high hyzerline....So, it wasn't what I was looking for. My star Japan Open Destroyers, however, are very stable and once beat in they are straight and long.

When you ordered the champy star from Mark @ DGV did you request "champ/star" or red?

I am talking about the champ one which is also dark merlot. I didn't have to put mine on more than a moderate hyzer line to get it to go far. I think the thing is the champ ones don't respond well to hard throws. They like a nice smooth release which is how I throw for distance, I don't throw nearly as hard as a lot of people I know.

The champy-star one I got I traded for locally.

 

[ManU]

so you like the Champ one then Frankie?

it's a different beast from the Star version though don't you think?

 

[Frank Delicious]

yeah I do like it, it definitely does well with how I throw.

 

[ManU]

I need to get back to you about that trade

 

[Frank Delicious]

fun times at the monthly this week with the pros when I threw the 159 star destroyer on a big hyzer hole into a headwind. They were all confused as hell.

LOL. Did you reveal your secret or are you keeping the ace up your sleeve?

I never really had a chance to throw that ultralight Champ DS much, but when I get a good rip I tend to throw like you do Frank so maybe I will like them. Problem is that's a real crappy color to throw, they're sooooo dark.

 

[Frank Delicious]

No they knew what it was, I was passing them around before the round to let the pros feel them up. That is what confused them the most.

I do agree about the color.

 

[EL-KABONG]

They just put up AO Echo Star Frenzy, P line Chaos and R-pro Tank

 

[booter]

gooood gaaaaawd please let the tanks be flat

 

[EL-KABONG]

They say "San Marino Configuration" - whatever that means.

They look pretty flat

 

[booter]

well yea,because the view is from the top lol. San marino config is probably just referencing the sanny mold. Which I'm hoping it's the sb not the beadless. O well. I got some!
