Discmania PD2 - CHAOS

[jubuttib]

Funny I get called crazy but since discspeed agrees I all the sudden just might know what im talking about, lol.

I just said that you have weird P-PD2s, and you do have weird, floppy P-PD2s. The additional sightings just validated my point. =)

[Whiz]

My stock P-PD2s have very flexy poppy tops. They are the skull stamp from the Innova East Coast warehouse. They are less stable than I expected and seem to fade more forward than a new boss. They do have some nice glide and are loooong. I believe the guy I know over at Innova said it might be around March that the stock C-line PD2s are released. I am definitely looking forward to throwing the Champs.

Wow, I'm really surprised they're releasing them that soon. It's pretty cool though.

[dgdave]

Very cool. I want 10 more

Ok, so I just received a phone call from Sam Covington down at the Innova East warehouse/DGU, and he told me that the C-PD is not to be released until March 7th - so I can't get my discs until that day. Apparently there was an oversight by the DGU people. HE DID tell me that Discmania was planning to make the initial C-Line release include the P1, MD1, PD, and TD --- and will possibly include the DD2 and PD2. 1 month until my wife cusses me out...again.

So yeah, probably around March 7th...

From Mark:

The C-PD2 will be a stock release in the next few weeks. Not sure an SPD2 is in the works any time soon but it could happen.

A few people mentioned somewhere (likely earlier in this thread) that the pd2's have inconsistent skipping tendencies. I believe they were talking about p-pd2's, has anyone else noticed this?

I wouldn't care so much if the p-pd2 didn't have a consistent skip as I probably wouldn't be using it too much for accuracy but I NEED a consistent skip from the c-pd2 if it's going to fill the roll I want it to.

Discs all skip consistently given stable conditions. Conditions on the course are never stable and a lot of freak things can happen, but I'm pretty sure it's not the disc. The PD2 has an XCAL bottom, and since the top of the disc doesn't touch the ground, I'd say it skips like an XCAL.

[zj1002]

I don't think it's the exact xcal bottom, but similar. And no it does not skip like an xcal. On similar lines I've watched mine skip in all directions. That was a large reason why I dropped it. Texas courses are not conducive to 50ft unintentional skips

zj - was that happening with both p and c models?

EDIT: discspeed - this wacky skips zj speaks of haven't happened to you?

[dgdave]

I haven't got anything like ZJ is talking about. Im getting pretty consistant skips. What you would expect from a fast, overstable driver. Nothing like a spirit.

[disc junkie]

Ive thrown the PPD2 prolly over 100 times now and I have not yet seen a wacky skip. If anything Ive been surprised and how much mine has not skipped at times.

Nope. It skips exactly how I would expect it to.

[rusch_bag]

I haven't got to play with it a lot, but I noticed my C PD2 skipped more up in the air than most other discs do and it had a less right to left skip in it when thrown rhbh.

I agree with this...More of a Predator skip than a FB with a high-hop-then-stop. I still maintain that it's going to skip just like an Xcal, so if you've thrown one of those, you know how it's going to skip..
