We may not want JD's girl to see this or she could start pressuring him for something shiny and very expensive!

She pretty much dominated my bday. Also, thanks to Jay Dub for giving her advice on which basket to get!
A "Like" button would once again be useful here! When Jay Dub told me about it I was like, "Whap-a-CHANG... DOMINATION!" lol. Have fun in Chicago this weekend!
Aw finally the testers have the latest Vibram discs! So R420 is the overstable distance driver and R419 is the understand distance driver? Can't wait to try them out and find out what the names will be! If there are any testers in Minny that wouldn't mind me chucking their protos when they get them that would be pretty cool. I live in the Twin Cities area.

Did anyone else notice that the 419 has more of a grippy, rubbery feel than the 420?

I noticed that but I figured it was just the release agent, guess not....new blends do feel great though. Mine took some nice tree hits some on strong flicks and still look ok, I still ran em under hot water to "reset" it lol and to see if the funky dome on the R420 was because of the mailman, it wasn't, and it's definitely made this way. Kinda weird.....I wanna flatten it hah.
So not a new disc but two new discs?!?!?! Vibram pretty much rocks. 420 sounds pretty overstable, I am curious to hear how it beats in for y'all. I wouldn't mind taking my Nuke OS out of the bag but was really hoping to get rid of my Nukes. I am starting to think that I really don't need a more understable Lace either. I have a pretty flippy one at 167g that is just about perfect for a flippy Max D driver at this point.

I wouldn't call this the flippy max d one, it's more of a controlled turnover or end right or roller disc out of the box, but easy to launch a long distance if you want.
the firms are generally a touch more overstable in my opinion if you are looking for a nuke replacement

Only one disc =( oh well though, R419 is super sweet!!
I sure hope that they don't expect those of us that only got one to submit a review of both to retain our spots on the tester team.

I didn't even think about that....

Are the R419b different from just the R419? Just noticed mine has a "b" on it
Well someone was saying that the R419 feels like the first proto Laces that went out to testers so maybe the "B" is a slightly altered version of those discs.

Thats what I was thinking, but didn't know for sure
Or maybe the Lace was r419a and the understable proto that went out then was r419b, and they just tweaked that disc a bit and resent it.

So many possibilities ha, Its a sweet disc though
I wish I knew what you mean! I am excited to get in the field with my r420 this upcoming week!
if anyone in MN wants to get some throws with these new tester discs on youtube PM me...
