Gotta say I am looking forward to test run #2. Rumor is that it is a soft/gummy opto. Sounds like it could be good. Doubt it will be better than opto though. Just that the bar is set so high ya know? Still sounds tantalizing though.

I've handled some really darn gummy Opto Rivers, how much more gummy can they make them?

[Msarimaa]

They are selling Bt-plastic Giants at a local market...

[keltik]

so they're redoing their Zero line plastic? interesting. I still like my Zero Pure.

who said anything about redoing zero?

Test plastic is a mid grade that they are experimenting with.

[keltik]

that was me making an ass out of myself and umption. so redoing grip then? wtf? give me a clue here.

I'd be interested to see how this test plastic would feel as a pure...

I doubt it's going to replace either. If they decide to start producing it it'll probably be a stiffer alternative to Zero and Grip in putters, but also the only baseline plastic available for drivers and mids.

I was running errands for work this morning and "happened" to pass by a PIAS. I picked up a test run fuse and a bird stamped GL Striker. The bird is wearing a crown. this test run feels like DX/KC Pro. Very stiff kinda waxy. It's hard to fondle discs and drive in a five speed. and I also bought a Ti Buzzz and a Blizzard Destroyer. this new crop of plastic hurts my wallet.

I hope that the test run #2 is not just another baseline... Something innovative. Lat 64 has a knack for thinking outside the box without coming up with goofy stuff like the epic or turbo putt.

On a side note, I have to say blizzard disappointed me. I threw a boss and it went way anny then faded way too fast back. It also slowed down faster than it should have...

[jubuttib]

Did you try only one disc? The vast majority of Blizzard discs I've thrown have flown like their heavier counterparts, just easier to get up to speed and they glide better. Even in headwinds they hold up just as well stabilitywise, but naturally get slowed down a bit quicker.

[turso]

Yeah, out of sample size of 6 bosses, one has been noticeably more understable than its full weight brother, at 139g, yet very controllable. The 150g x-outs are pretty much exactly like max weights, just easier to throw as jubs said.

Great news today; I got my first ace. I went to play at a course near my new job (never played before) on my lunch break and I nailed #3 with my Grip Pure!! I truly understand now that aces are pure dumb luck. the throw felt weird and I kinda stumbled sideways on the release. the flight looked like I had almost turned it over too much but it magically flexed sexy back right into the basket! I squealed like a little girl and went to pick up my disc. What a feeling!!

I also threw the TR Fuse on one hole into a clump of young trees. no damage to the disc but no real flight to make a judgement on. the grip felt great. I also threw the GL Striker on another hole. I haven't played in so long that I've got the OATie O's. I'll hammer that out with time. I don't blame the disc but I do blame the ape throwing them.

I also threw my 131 Blizz Destro. It turned quickly into the woods. Like I said above I haven't played or thrown in about two months. I'm out of sorts with my timing etc. It did rocket out of my hands. I think I was trying to throw it like my 172 destro. and it was the hole after I just aced. but mainly my form and smoothness is missing.

I also threw the TI Buzzz, again into some trees. zero damage to the disc but not enough flight to make any judgments.

[gknmnstr]

I have thrown seven different blizzard discs. I could not control them worth crap. They pretty much reaffirmed to me the fact that I throw max weight best; not always but most of the time, and I should definitely never throw blizzard again. Not a brand loyalty thing, I don't throw diamonds either.
