I'm thinking it will probably be that massively overstable 420B that the testers got back in the summer. I've dubbed it the reLace. This would make sense. Honestly I don't care what is next as long as it is something legitimately OS. Mid or fwy or dd doesn't matter. Just OS!

:doh:Never mind...need to read more carefully
Unless they have had more issues with the 420D the O-Lace is not going to be the 420B mold. I am still super excited about the 420B mold and can't wait for its release sometime next year. I also want to get my hand on an O-Lace that is between the Lace and the 420B, which by all the latest information I can find is the 420D. Last I heard Steve was going out to test the 420D later in the day. That was over a week ago though as I have not been online much lately.

Random question... Is the Ascent (and Trak for that matter) a speed 9? All the websites list them as 7s, but based on PDGA specifications (specifically rim width, depth, inside/outsider diameter, and width to diameter ratio), they have more characteristics in common with speed 9. Actually, as a matter of fact the Ascent is very, very similar to the PD when it comes to measurements.

7 sounds about right. They don't jump out of my hand like a Valk or Saint does. Really, they feel more like a 7.5-8 to me.

So I had a 180g medium vp that I recently lost :O It was marked a 176 originally but scaled way overweight. It was my go to versatile do anything putter and I miss it dearly. Is there any way or place to find one that heavy again or should I just buy a 175 and hope?
I guess the numbers do well when we are trying to compare discs, but honestly I do not like the disc rating systems all that much. I am not surprised that the numbers make them appear to be a speed 9. I still call them fairway drivers because that is what they are.

I read this review that Vibram posted on their Facebook page and couldn't help but notice that they listed the release of the O-Lace to be early November. Speculation? Insider information? Steve??

Max weight listed here is 175.1

I would goto a shop that has a scale for customer use or buy from somewhere online that re-scales before they sell.
Eh, I feel like this is old news. Pretty sure it is in this thread somewhere. This is also not certain as far as I can tell. At the same time I am crazy excited about the release of the OLace and even the MoLace sometime next year.
You could be right I suppose. I thought I had read some post about maybe the release being closer to Black Friday. This is the first I had read about an early November release. Could just be speculation though.
I was probably the one that started the Black Friday rumor because that was their release date for the Lace. I can't believe it has been less than a year since the Lace came out. Feels like I have been throwing it for years. As soon as this 420D OLace comes out I am pretty sure my rating will fo up twice as much as it did this season with just that Lace.

If you had a Vibram discs over 175.5, you were very "lucky?" to find it. A couple years back, I caught some folks mis marking discs so they could put them in the box. This has since stopped.
When I visit a store with a scale, I always check a handful of our weights, and they are always within a half gram of correct.
The highest weight you will find in stores is 175 (178 for Ibex and Obex).

That is a pretty cool website. Matt at Uber happened to email me on the day that we tested the O-Lace. I had one in my car (which I had hoped to keep) and decided it would do more good in his hands.
We are producing O-Laces as fast as we can and are trying to assure that we have enough of them before the launch so that we do not sell out. I will be sending samples out to retailers and our team as early as next week.
After that, we will announce a release date. Early November seems like a good guess, but we won't know for a couple weeks.

This is awesome! I can't wait for the O-Lace! I've really started to like forehanding Destroyers and my Laces are close but just a little too flippy for me.
Great news! Time to start counting down the days even if we don't have an exact day yet.
