Mako

[KenGmoney1]

The star Mako is out.  Anybody know if it is good?  Now is the time to get one if you like first run stamps.

I'll have 10 @ Joliet this weekend, but that's it.  I forgot about the star stamp, but then was thinking that since it's a mid it wouldn't be as hot as the typical star stamped brand new driver.  I haven't cracked open the box that has them in it yet, so not sure on look or feel.

Don't know if he was ever 'out' (not that there's anything wrong with that), but he's dead.I remember him being very good in "The Sand Pebbles."  Wikipedia offers more....

He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the 1966 film The Sand Pebbles. Other roles include the Chinese contract laborer Mun Ki in the 1970 epic movie The Hawaiians starring Charlton Heston and Tina Chen, the sorcerer Nakano in Highlander III, the Wizard Akiro, opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the two Conan movies Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer, the Japanese agent in the comedy Under the Rainbow, Kanemitsu in RoboCop 3 in 1993, Kungo Tsarong in Seven Years in Tibet, and Admiral Yamamoto in the 2001 film, Pearl Harbor. He also had a role in Bulletproof Monk. In 2005, Mako had a cameo role in Memoirs of a Geisha. Mako's last leading role was in the 2005 film Cages, written and directed by Graham Streeter.

He appeared on the TV show McHale's Navy several times, playing Imperial Japanese officers, soldiers and sailors. He also later appeared on the TV show M*A*S*H, playing multiple roles such as a Chinese doctor, North Korean soldier, and South Korean major. He was the blind philosopher Li Sung in two episodes of the TV show The Incredible Hulk. Mako also appeared in an episode of the TV show F Troop. He also fought Bruce Lee in an episode of The Green Hornet. He played Jackie Chan's uncle/Sifu in Chan's first American movie The Big Brawl. Mako voiced Commander Shima in the video game Medal of Honor: Rising Sun. He also was a guest star in an episode of Monk. His last "made-for-TV" movie appears to be Rise: Blood Hunter in 2007.

Mako's Broadway career included creating the role of "The Reciter" in the original production of Pacific Overtures in 1976 (for which he was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical) and starring in the limited run of the play Shimada. in 1992.

He was the voice actor of the evil demon Aku in the animated series Samurai Jack, and as the parody of Aku, Achoo, in Duck Dodgers, as well as Iroh in Avatar: The Last Airbender. He had a guest appearance in the Nickelodeon movie Rugrats in Paris: The Movie as the boss of Coco. He guest-starred in the episode "A Good Day" of The West Wing as an economics professor and former rival of President Bartlet.

I really like this disc.  I like it especially for stand still long annies.  This disc glides fooooorrrrreeeevvveeeeerrrr!  It also holds a hyzer line well.  I also like it over my rocs for sidearm.

I'm interested in one of these too. Steven's felt really nice,but he seemed to be guarding it very closely. Maybe he will let me try it out today. It definitely did not feel domey.

[Steven Jacobs]

It most definitely is domey.  Gives it mega glide!

way to copy my signature Striker

I was trying to figure out how to put the link to hyperlink my PDGA profile. Then when I got it it said this is an invalid PDGA number when I clicked on the link in my signature. So then I just made a boring "Steven  Jacobs" like signature, but spiced it up a little bit by throwing in the color red. Who knows maybe it will change again???

I'm not sure what all is different between a Mako and a Coyote - they feel very similar.  Both make for good straight discs.

[Steven Jacobs]

I believe the Mako is a san marino coyote??

I think I read it in the ask dave thread at pdga.com.  Also my mako says san marino on the bottom of it even though it was definitely made in rancho because it is a custom from the cold turkey IV
