got an ace on practice throw ( mully throw ) lemon lake county park white hole 5
my buddy says i should retire the disc as i have retired
my previous 5 aces
what does every one else do with their ace discs ?
My first ace disc (Champion Starfire) is in semi-retirement. I lost it during a casual round after hitting the ace but StanK was kind enough to find it and get it back to me. I'm kinda sorta afraid to lose it again and I have other Starfires to throw.
Since then, I have hit 3 aces with my old, beat Pro Pig. I want to retire this one before I lose it, but I do not have a suitable replacement right now. Hopefully one of my other pigs will take over soon. :snorting:
Discs like to fly. Retiring a disc seems like odd punishment for having flown well. I throw my ace discs until I lose them, or until they naturally get replaced by some other disc in the bag. I refresh the ace ink if it starts to fade.
I don't think I've ever retired an ace disc. It seems silly to retire a disc that obviously works for you. Where is my option for "I don't retire discs"? :)

I only retire putters that don't go in the basket. I think I have about 10 bins of those. Everything else is in the bag, or eventually gets lost.
I retire discs if they are meaningful aces. I hit two aces with one teebird and decided to retire it. One was in leagues and the other was just during a round. They were a month apart and both pretty sweet aces. But as for the other ace discs I have had I haven't retired any of them. i think I have lost two ace discs and one of my aces was with a friends disc. If they are short ones especially i wont retire them.
Out of 16, I kept my 1st, a birthday Ace 2 yrs ago, a BIG BIRD ROC with 2, but it cracked or would still be in the bag, and the one at 2009 Worlds for $270.00.
I had originally planned on retiring my 1st ace disc, but lost it in the lake monster later that round while up in Sheboygan. The only ace disc I have since retired is when I was playing a casul round and hit back to back aces with the same disc out at Jericho Lake.
I tend to break discs in over an extended period
loaded up prior to worlds last year in case i lost any disc
only lost 1 in practice and 1 in the lake during round
I have triples of all my mid ranges
xd, cobra, stingray
cheetahs ( got about 8 various conditions )

I agree discs want to fly and when they actually do what you want , the
reward shouldnt be retirement in all cases
to me this was a mully ace practice, disc stays in rotation buddy says retire : others have opinions as well
i count and track my rounds on the dgreview , actually got 3 on the hole
as the stingray went past it 30 feet so the ace is recorded as a note but not counted
