I don't follow Vibram at all, but went to their site and saw this:

Has this been discussed here?

I think that was announced some time ago. It would have to be less dense than liquid, not lighter than liquid. I think the ruling is that anything lighter than 150 g will float? Is that the case with the air injected blizzard champion?

I think the Vibram floaters have gotten pushed to the side with the release of the Valley, Notch, and Arch, which they've been working hard to get out. Vibram floaters would be nice, because there's a pretty poor selection of floaters available from the other manufacturers.

Just an FYI but I'm selling a proto Ridge on the page if you guys aren't on there.

The black one. Grey won't ever go anywhere.

Obex

Starting to like my Obex... seems to really like a lot of snap, which makes it quite a bit different than the Ibex. Had a pretty good shot today where the Obex just bent itself around a tree. I'd like to see a Roc do that! Made birdie on the hole!

 

[Aim For The Chains]

Wut?

 

[Snap-it]

Wut?

LOL, no kidding...obviously isn't very familiar with Rocs.

 

[Six Card Charlie]

Threw my glow ibex for the first time. It got tons of tiny scratches/cuts on it. Anyone else have an issue with this with XLG?

 

[bballr4567]

Glow is softer than the current medium so yes, it'll get a little bit of marking but it shouldn't cut. It will scratch.

 

[TrustYourRubber]

Wut?

I guess I meant to say 'I'd like to see a Roc bend itself around a tree'... the medium 174 held its line even after pancaking around a tree! Made birdie on the hole despite hitting a tree on a glancing blow about 50' from the hole! I've heard rumors of others doing this with softs, but this is the first experience I've had with a medium doing this.

I've tried more snap with my Obex, and it's worked with some success, but I'll continue to experiment. Generally, I don't snap my Ibex, as much as choose hyzer or anhyzer angle. Not a great anhyzer-thrower yet, but I should probably practice it more, considering that the unlace, Valley, and Ibex are great anhyzer discs.

What do you mean by "bend it's self around a tree" ?

Hit the tree, fold into itself, roll around the trunk, and then continue flying... pretty weird

I hit an ace with my med Ibex (sidearm, as if I'd throw any other way) the Thursday before Worlds that was pretty amazing in that it hit the left side of a tree about 20 feet off the tee. Continued forward, started to fade right. Hit the left side of another tree further on down the short hill, ricocheted upwards out further to the left. Glanced off the top of a short tree and dropped into the basket. A triple ricochet ace!

Softs can hit the cage low, then fold and flip like a slinky into the basket too. I've done it.

 

[Six Card Charlie]

Hahaha awesome! Can't wait to try out my soft summit.
The soft ibex needs to be thrown very high or else it just hits the ground.

That's pretty cool! If you're getting pretty good snap on your discs, then this will come into play with your Vibrams.

The softs show form flaws, so they're very unforgiving. I recently lost my soft Obex for this reason.

Tried my first Vibram disc yesterday, the Lace. I've got to admit I was very pleasantly surprised. The glide on that thing is tremendous. It was my friends so I ordered one for myself today Can't wait to get it onto the course.

That's good to know. Maybe I'll get a few more softs to help with form.

What xlink did you get?
Congrats on the new lace!!

I've not had to adjust my throws in any fashion for my soft Ibex. I tend to throw low lines, too.

 

[Six Card Charlie]

I just got my glow ridge in the mail.
I'm actually surprised on how shallow the rim feels. Infinite discs says it's a 1.6cm rim depth but it doesn't feel like it!!
