Disc Order

[Bruce Brakel]

Discraft discs are made in the facility in Wixom, Michigan.

Last call for Innova requests.

Hopefully my wife and I will be out at Rockford in a few weeks. She isn't so sure after hitting a bunch of trees last Friday on the West course. If I'm there, I know I will be looking for a Champ TBird and a RIPT deck.

[Bruce Brakel]

I put in my Innova order today.  I'll have pretty much everything.  I did a 250 disc order plus hats, shirts, Ript decks, minis, mini baskets, etc.  I got some Coyotes and a few more Orions.  

I noticed that all the dyed stuff went, so I'm going to try to get more stuff dyed.  

I received confirmation on the shipping of my Discwings so we'll have those for Rockford too.

Are the Discwings still $14 Brass as you had mentioned earlier?

[Bruce Brakel]

Something like that.  They are overdue.  I have not received the discs or the invoice.  

[Bruce Brakel]

The Discwings are here!  They are all red and all have the First Run stamp on them.  I really like the feel of the grip.  The inverted bead makes them come out of your hand really smooth and flutter free.  They are a DX kind of blend but have a Pro Line kind of price, so you decide if that works for you.  

Kira and I were throwing a 164 gram and it was reliably overstable for us, more so than my overstable but beat in Z-Crush.  On good throws Kira was getting it out 15 to 20 feet farther than her Flash, so I'm thinking your average advanced amateur might be able to throw this 30 feet farther than their normal drive.  

I have 100 of these.  They will be 13 brass or cash.  I'm going to treat them like ordinary merch.  I thought about a lot of different ways to work you guys but then decided that you've all been too good to us for any of that.

So if you want one put in lay away with your name on it, let me know.  Post here.  I'm going to try really hard not to sell any of them to the Michigan players until after Rockford.

I'll take one. Not sure of the weight. If they're as overstable/ more overstable than a Crush I'll try something around 168-170

[Mike S]

I will take one as well, anything 170 or above would be great.

If you can I'd like one 168-172

One Quarter K at 172g, thank you.

Serg has one and we have been testing it.  I can get about 20 feet more than my Orc, about 430ft. I would say.  However, I haven't been able to get the right height on my throws (they all are about 10 feet off the ground at the most).

[Bruce Brakel]

I'll go through this list later this weekend, and through my e-mails and pms, and start a lay-away box.  Already about 12 of them are spoken for.  

Kira was having a problem with throwing it low also.  I'm thinking that probably the rounded under rim comes out of the hand cleaner resulting in less nose up force being imparted on the snap.  

The one we were throwing was more overstable than the Beast or Flash, more like a Crush.

Shawn [on another thread] "I'd like to get 2 lighter ones around 168"

[Bruce Brakel]

I spent some time at the football field this morning throwing a 164 Quarter K righty, lefty, backhand and forehand.  It is definately the longest disc I have ever thrown.  It is not revolutionary longer but is significant design modification longer.  Until Discraft and Innova license or rip-off the concept, Discwing has something here.  

Because I'm throwing lefty and only starting to throw righty after months of not throwing righty, I'm topping out around 300 on a perfect throw and averaging closer to 260, either way.  Righty the Quarter K went 300 every time and was always longer than the Crush, Flash and Sidewinder.  Lefty it was always one of the two longest, but I'm inconsistant lefty and every disc found a turn being the longest.  

It is also overstable.  Power throwers should be able to throw these without them being flippy.  Usually a disc this overstable does not go very far for me throwing lefty.  Into the wind I flipped and burned the Sidewinder; I flipped and max S'd the Crush and Flash.  The Quarter K did not flip and it went a little further.  Power throwers can probably flip these into the wind, but they are overstable.

These are the real deal.

I'm rethinking this and instead I'd like one 165ish.

[Bruce Brakel]

I'm thinking most of you except Shawn probably want them lighter than you think.  

Meanwhile, while I was at work this evening, my Innova order came in.  I did a quick inventory and found everything but the Ript decks and did not realize that I missed those until I came in.  They are probably under the mini-basket.  

After I did my quick inventory I notice a Coyote on top so I flipped on the floods and gave it a short throw, about 80 feet, on a straight line.  It flies a lot like a Breeze: at low speeds it holds a very straight line.  From where it landed I was 50 feet past the basket so I took a Frisbee style birdie run at the chains.  Bang!  Just like a Breeze.  

If they were to make a Breeze in soft plastic it would be my go-to putter.

Scratch that ^^

Can I get one between 166-169 instead?

[Bruce Brakel]

yes, of course

[Bruce Brakel]

I thought I'd highlight some of the stuff that I will have for IOS #5.

I'll have everything generally but the following stuff in particular:

I will have some more 150 Flicks and a few 150 Talons with the IOS7 hotstamp.  I had a special order for the 150 Talons so I'm getting a few for the merch boxes.  The 150 Talon is Kelsey's choice into a headwind or for more fade.

I will have some X-Avengers with the IOS7 hotstamp and a limited number of Z-Avengers with the hotstamp.  The Z-Avenger is not available for hotstamping yet so this is kind of a special item.  How do I rate?  I never know how this stuff works.  Erich offered and I said, "Yes, of course, thank you."  Drones.  I'll have Drones.  

I'll have more of the Innova cloth merch and this time I'll have some visors.  They are red or orange.  All of the Coyotes went so I'll have more.  

I'll have some Innova bags.  These look medium large.  I think they will be 47 brass.  I have not downloaded the invoice yet but that weird prime number is sticking in my head.

Do you have any Cobra's dx or champion?  I was using them for shortish anhyzer shots.  They do not fade the way a roc will fade.  Mine is somewhere in Rockford.  If so, I will plunk down a few brass sheckels on a new cobra next week. Thanks.

[whofarted]

bruce,

do you ever carry quad shock bag straps?
