Discraft Nuke

[dgdave]

Great. Something else for me to try out

[JHern]

No one knows exactly how sharp is too sharp. It's not like it was measured in some sort of safety test whatever that would be. I believe the Eclipse approved in 1989 may have been the benchmark for setting the minimum because its value is 26 which is still the allowable minimum.

I figured the safety-ness according to edge sharpness was kinda like that. But still, if the disc begins to actually look dangerous to the casual observer, then it could be a problem (imagine trying to get your discs through airline security if they were really sharp), and so its good to have some sort of standard in place, if only just to say that there are standards.

Of course, the sharper the edge, the harder the plastic needs to be in order to not get overly deformed at the edges.

Could the height of the disc be due to what Zam mentioned in the original Nuke thread (that it's got a overmolded top)? I was looking though the list of approved discs, and there hasn't been a lot of 1.8 cm height drivers since the XS days.

Are you referring to the Nuke or the Katana?

wow, I meant the Katana. I failed at reading the table.

So anyway, this looks like a single material. Ya?

[dgdave]

Yeah

[groovytnarg]

a few months back, i threw a stack of proto "nukes" with jim kenner and kevin tomasitis for a few hours in a field. they were like a super far flash. sweet sparkle z plastic. i normally throw 450-520. they were going 480 - 490 easily.

[NoLifeLeft]

I will be highly disappointed if we don't see pictures of a Duke Nukem dye in the Disc Artwork forum within 4 months of its release.

Fallout dyes too.

And the 3 eyed fish from the Simpsons...

[SkaBob]

Someone will promise to do a Duke Nukem dye on one of these, but it will be delayed years upon years.

Eventually, when our grandkids are playing the newly released Duke Nukem Forever, one of us will remember and dig up an old one of these and do the dye.

groovytnarg,

How flippy were they, exactly? The last time I was throwing flashes regularly, I could get a new one on a turnover that would hold all the way to the ground. Would you say you could do that with those proto-nukes? Or rather, would you say someone with a mere mortal's arm could?

I'd like to hear some more info from this guy. Did they say Nuke SS? Were they flying straight or on S flights? Were you throwing with hyzer, flat, or turned? Did you really register just to make this one comment? To tease the rest of us? Is this purely a marketing ploy?

A direct quote from Adam Olsen...Discraft sponsored player...about the upcoming Discraft Nuke.

"What I thought of the Nuke...
Of course wide rimmed disc. The flight reminds me of a ESP Flash and a seasoned Force. When thrown rhbh the Nuke flips up, goes relatively straight with a little turn to the right. What I liked was when it slowed down it didn't dump out and hyzer hard. The disc penatrated forward and landed flat. I did throw into a slight head wind and the disc immediately turned over."

Sounds promising.

This sounds an awful lot like my Katanas...Sounds sweet!
