Ace Race Disc this year?

[Smyith]

it could be a great slow turnover disc. im gonna play for sure cause its fun. plus those will make great prizes to give away.

Yeah, I could care less if my putters were in premium plastic. I can't say I'm really stoked about their choice on the disc but either way, it will be fun to throw. I kind of hope it's like a shorter comet, that would make it interesting.

Rattler?

A heavy, neutral, large diameter putter? I'm actually getting pretty excited...

+1, i think it will be a lot better than people think.


If vibram, Discmania, MVP etc made this disc you guys would be dick-punching each other to line up and throw it first.

LOL, I was sitting here drinking OJ at breakfast when I read this on my Blackberry and snarfed it out my nose. I just had visions of all you die hards literally doing that to each other.

Hmm, this sounds fun, slow neutral large diameter. Looking forward to the race!

I'm imagining this to fly like a floatier Aero...

They should call it the asteroid

how much floatier can a disc get after the aero?

Is it possible they are going to give the Teebird/PD ish disc one more try? Some folks would say that they acheived that w the talon or stalker or something?

x Avenger is the closest they have imo, pretty awesome discs

I've been thinking about this comment all day. Only reason I can find that name does not fit is the cosmic names are all used for mids. Comet, meteor, nebula, eclipse(driverish).

Usually the convex bevel gives a disc more glide compared to a flat or "L" bevel. Think Roadrunner vs. Sidewinder, or Mako vs. MD2/MS. Maybe float is a bad adjective because that bevel usually makes a disc a bit faster as well, and float is usually thought of as a slow thing.

Played in the Ace Race this weekend. The two discs that I got were both 180g. Did all kinds of things with it. Forehand, doesnt work to well and just wants to flip. Backhand friendly. Its rollerable. Even threw a thumber with it, and it worked surprising well. I felt like it was very close to a mako. I dont throw aeros, but lots of people compared it to them. I thought they were very wind sensitive. Has tons of glide though!! Overall, very fun though!

Eh, some say that about the Comet too and that's just about my favorite FH disc out there.

[Droskee24]

Yea, Im sure other people will have different opinions on what it did well for them. Im mainly a forehand thrower and it didnt work well for me in that aspect. Didnt seem to handle a big snap, but other people might have better form or a different technique. Just wanted to get the discussion going about the experience people had with the new disc, instead of hoping and wishing what it might or should be. From what I heard from the TD, it was the first ace race in the country, so Im just curious about what other people think.

Anyone else thrown this thing yet?
