Looks like you could throw it like a horseshoe.

lol, I like the name.  Good thing I'm not playing basketball and throwing a brick ;).

I found out that Quest also has another disc coming out, "The Scorcher".  It's more stable than the Inferno, so that might be one sweet disc to pick up!

"...and its made to be thrown like a brick."

How do you throw a brick?  If I was trying to put it through a window, I'd throw it overhand ...

If Gateway was running a TV ad I imagine someone like a young Pam Grier putting with this thing wearing, well, the things she wore back in the day when she was playing Foxy Brown et al while the background has the Commodores singing, "She's a brick...house...O0 built like an amazon..."

Would this disc be legal?  What would it weigh? 350 grams?

I think KVN had one out at fairfield this year.

I might as well use the Brick.  I just need to layup under the basket on anything outside 5 feet.

Its easy.  You just have to lean into the putt like your puking out of a moving vehicle.

from the looks of the side of the disc it doesn't look like it will roll at all either, so it might drop dead on the ground like the Rhyno if you miss.  It may go straight, but I'll probably throw it straight left or straight right of the basket since that's what I normally do anyway!

KVN did have them out at Fairfield this year.  The edges are very floppy and it grabs chains pretty well.  It also does not roll at all once it lands.  He was saying you are supposed to grab it by the bulk of the weight in the middle and pitch it in the basket with little to no spin.  It was weird to throw it that way and I didn't really like it personally.

But that only seems to work for me South of I-80

KVN showed me them at fairfield...  he was saying that they don't roll when they hit the ground..  thing is that it was really windy that day and they did roll..  it ruined the sale for me..  next...
