Disc Order

[Bruce Brakel]

Damon - of course! We'll even take brass for your renewal! PDGA memberships, OTOH, we cannot take brass for.

If we're both at league this Sunday I'll hit you up then. Still on the fence about Rockford next Sunday. 

If you can play Saturday, there is another Am Grandmaster pre-registered.

If you talk one of our volunteers into playing on Saturday then YOU'RE not playing on Saturday!!!

[Bruce Brakel]

Sorry, I did not remember you said something about Damon volunteering until after I posted that.

you two need to tape your conversations or something.

Nah, I'm not playing Saturday. Even though I gave Mirth the $, I'm still not sure I'm playing Sunday.

I have a condition similar to this woman,

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/womenfamily.html?in_article_id=397478&in_page_id=1799

due to a viral encephalopathy I had in 1990.  I have all the same symptoms but not nearly as severe.  I forget lots of things.  It is frustrating.

If I ever act like I have no idea who you are, and you are someone distinctive who plays a lot of our tournaments, like Joe Tomecek or Mike Krupika, it's because at that moment I have no idea who you are.  I'm looking at you thinking, "I wonder if I knew this person in a previous lifetime.  They seem vaguely familiar... ."

Read the article & all I can say is: yikes!

Bruce,

Don't forget about the hundy I loaned to you last year.

She probably had the same virus I had.  It is in the herpes family.  40% to 80% of the population has had it but it is asymptomatic or nearly so almost all of the time.  It is not very contagious.  It is less contagious than AIDS and spread the same way, through bodily fluid.  It is very hard to diagnose, even in active cases.  They have to take the patient's blood every two hours and watch for a certain change in a titer.  They did that with me because the CDC took an interest in my case. 

It is on my personal top 10 list of unpleasant life experiences.  Right there next to being run over by a school bus.

LOL!

I'm taking suggestions for Innova stuff to order... there's so much that you can order from them that I don't know where to start lol.  You don't have to buy anything, but if there are some items that you don't see too commonly and wish people would have them more often (maybe like a Champ Spider... you see everyone using a Roc but the Spider is a GREAT disc). that sort of thing.

I want to order at least 200, but would be nice to pick up 300+, so suggestions are welcome.

I will pick up the stuff I commonly hear... wraiths, teerex, valkyries, aviars, rocs, firebirds, those are all a given.

Just looking for input.

The Gator is a great disc that I see a lot of people carry but isnt usually stocked too well.  I also notice most people buy up the KC Rocs much faster than DX ones.

[Bruce Brakel]

I've been carrying Gators.  They are slow movers, but the people who want them are usually happy to see them.  I had both the DX and Champion at Rockford and Peoria.

Quick:  What are the popular DX Innova drivers?  Wraiths, yes?  Orcs?  Beasts?  T-Rex if available yet?  I'm ordering tomorrow.  Who wants a Discatcher Pro [lightweight] for 230 brass?  I know I had one request.  This is the last chance to get them for 230 and then I have to go up to 240.  They don't really do good wholesale pricing on baskets.  Any special orders?  Max weight Firebirds?  Camo-dyed green Stingrays for rolling in tall grass?  Anything?

I just get the Discraft I think I can sell over the next two years.  I buy individual molds in large quantities with Discraft so I can pass the savings along to our players.  Soft X-Putters are on the list.  It is time to get a two-year supply of those. 

The Z-Cyclone is an excellent reliable fairway driver when you are trying to save par with a hyzer shot from short driving distance.  There is something to be said for reliably overstable slow drivers.  I have a two year supply of those now. 

Short time frames here. Let me know.

[Mike S]

I've been looking for some lighter-weight star and maybe DX wraiths.  I know Star wraiths go down to 167, and I would definitely like to get my hands on one or two of those.  DX goes all the way down to 150 class - I would like to pick one up in the mid-upper 160's also.

[Bruce Brakel]

I'll see what I can do.  I do a "mixed weight order" about one in three orders and the lighter stuff sits there.  Like right now I have nine DX Firebirds in stock, all under 170 and a similar situation with DX Rocs, DX Orcs, etc. 

If I ask for a heavy order but 2 of these, 2 of those, 2 of those, etc., the kid in the back is going to say, "Screw this," and send me a mixed order of everything. 

I need to do a heavy order, but I can order 150 with a heavy.  Then they send me the heavy 150s!   

[Mike S]

Fair enough.  I think light DX firebirds sit because most people that throw them just want them to be meathooks that beat the wind, so why not go heavy.  I dont know anyone that throws light midranges, in any plastic.  I think you have had about 10 KC Rocs under 170 on the shelf all year, and I doubt they will go any time soon.  I havent tried the DX orc yet but if I do, it will be in the 165-170 range.  I still havent been able to get past how ridiculous the stamp looks.

[Bruce Brakel]

Jenny Fox threw the 150 DX Orc and loved the disc but said she could not throw anything that looked like that.  So I took off the hotstamp and did a logo initials dye on it.  Now we call it the JF Flyer. 

[Mike S]

I will definitely need to do some stamp removal on that.  I dont like the DX Wraith stamp either.

[Bruce Brakel]

I'm not sure who they have naming their discs or doing the artwork, but if you were a D&D geek in high school and college like "some people"  you should looooove those discs.  They've got the Goblin, Orc, Pegasus, Beast [Minataur stamp], Dragon and Roc.  What are they still missing?  The Wyvern, the Flayer, the Bugbear, the Troll -- I think i am outing myself here!      Bring on the Fire Giant with the + 3 Hammer of Wrath!  My 11th level Ranger will kick his ass.   

I think local Michigan pro, Joe Geibel, did the Valkyrie or the Archangel, but I forget which. 

[Mukey]

I think the Tee-Rex is a funny name myself, because I've T-Rexd more than my share of putts...

Sort of a long standing joke, but Innova SHOULD come out with a "Griplock" disc. Guaranteed to go right with power for RHBH!

[Bruce Brakel]

The DX T-Rex is still not available.  Innova is out of visors.  Still no big bags.  They have decided to withdraw their current collared shirts from the market because they are not satisfied with the quality.  They are o.k. for wearing but they are not a good material for plunging into the schule looking for an errant disc. 

Is there any current demand for the 2005 Champion, Star and Special Blend Rocs unveiled at last year's USDGC?  These are expensive.  I'd have to go 50 Brass on these.  I'd make deals for cash, but even then, probably $30 cash, $35 for the glowies.  I can get them, but I'd need some pre-orders. 

If you want me to bring merch baskets to IOStreamwood, shout out.  I have two Skillshots and two Discatcher Sports in stock, but they are bulky and don't always get a bus pass if I don't have pre-orders.
