Disc Order

[damonshort]

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

The Nierodzik. Also known as a 450' drive that goes 90 degrees to the right.  (hi Jay, whenever you show up again)

Mine only go 350' to the right or into the ground, so save any replies.

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. 

Last call.  For my money I'd try an ESP Wasp or an ESP Buzzz.

you mean one of these???



I will pay cash for one of these in max weight if its what you mean.

[Bruce Brakel]

They are what they are, the Rocs unveiled at last year's USDGC as fundraisers for this year's USDGC.  I don't know what they look like, fly like, or smell like.  To me it always smells like the king's new clothes when they make a disc in limited quantities and then triple the price.  But one man's indecent exposure is another man's magic beans, so to speak.    If someone says they want one, and knows which kind they want, I'll get them with my next Innova order.

My patented move, aww nice of you to remember Damon =)

oh and Hi!!!!

::goes back to lurking in the bushes::

[smyith]

any plans on getting some whitlers, when they become available, or latitude 64? it e nice to have some more of the other brands besides innova or discraft.

[Bruce Brakel]

I need to talk to Breiner Enterprises and see what we can do with a 200 order of miscellaneous stuff. 

I was not too impressed with the Lattitude stuff I saw.  The Discwing was a flash in the pan fad.  I don't think it makes economic sense to manufacture plastic in Europe and ship it to the US. 

I feel like all I'm really missing is Millenium since the club has Gateway.  But if I can get 200 pricing from Breiner, it would work to get that other stuff.

[Bruce Brakel]

I took a few throws with the Pulse today.  It is what they say it is, an overstable version of the Surge.  I did not have a decent headwind to throw it in.  The wind was blowing across the field.  It was too overstable for me to overpower.  It will go in my bag and the Venom will come out because it grips more like a Surge.

It is not a copy of the T-Rex at all.  It is its own thing.  It looks like it has a groove in the lid in some pictures, but if you look at it sideways you see that it is really a flat spot in the rim just before you get to the flight plate.  If you are gripping there, you should start by fixing your grip.

Quick merch questions:

which of the following Discraft should I order for Aurora:

ESP Surge
ESP Avenger
ESP Pulse
ESP Crush
ESP Predator
Soft APX [not Swirl, but almost as soft as Swirl]
Soft Magnet
You name it -- Discraft

I'm on a limited budget for Aurora because Streamwood did not sell out so I'm getting probably just 4 of those choices.  I'm very happy with the Streamwood attendance, but another 60 players would have put me in a "sky's the limit" place right now, but instead I'm in a limited budget situation.  If Soft Magnets are still Pro-D priced, I could get those for the Throw Discraft Player Packs if I also am low on hats and shirts, and then I'd be getting five off the list.  [It's all very complicated!] 

Remember those SuperColor minis with the fractal artwork?  Are those worth 5 brass or worth being one item in a 2-item Throw Discraft Player Pack?

On the Innova side, I'm not sure what I'm doing.  With Innova's prices being what they are, I cannot do a low volume Innova order.  I guess Innova just has to deal with that.  I'll definately do a big Innova order for Fairfield.

Discraft settled the struck questions for me.  I'll get a few ESP Crushes, Avengers and Preds and a few Soft APXs ONLY IF I have special requests.  They are not available for hotstamping right now and are too pricey for me to sell a lot at the stock prices.  I'll get tourney stamped ESP Surges and ESP Pulses.

I'd say go with the 5 brass on these.

What about those Skeeters, those of you who got some? 

Personally I like it. Right away when I took hold it reminded me of the DGA "Blunt" putter that my non-PDGA,non-tourney playing brother used to use before it got too beat. Very straight & the grip of it really fits nicely into the hand. If you got 10-15 of them I'd bet they all go.

[UMphreak]

about the skeeter, I threw it about 5 times and said is sucked.  Then on the 6th throw I threw it from the tee pad of 3 to the basket of 18 and sank it.  So I don't know what to think, however it does grip nice.

[Mike S]

I wouldnt order any more than you think you'll sell at the first tournament on hype alone.  It isnt anything spectacular or really different.  Seemed pretty similar to a coyote with a different grip.  Most people arent going to put away their buzzes or rocs for it.

[Mike S]

Are there going to be any more ESP Pulses available at Aurora?  I started throwing it a lot this week and I really like it a lot.  Its a great (fast) overstable driver and the rim isnt as wide as a Teerex so it feels better in my hand.

[Bruce Brakel]

Yes.  Definately.  The ESP Surge and ESP Pulse are such excellent discs and I'm out of both.  I will have more for Aurora.  What division do you play?  I could do some as trophy discs for your division, if your division is not done yet.

I'm doing trophy discs for Aurora right now, having just finished the Valley View Summer League trophy discs.  I'll be watching pre-reg for the divisions that want a cool dyed trophy disc.  Many were white X-Challengers but there is a smattering of GT Buzzzes, Z-XLs, ESP Buzzzes and other stuff.  Am Masters is on an ESP Buzzz.  The rest I don't know off hand. 

[Mike S]

I will definitely be playing INT, possibly ADV also.  As long as there is at least one in the low 170's or high 160's there, thats fine.

[Bruce Brakel]

I have a white one right now that is 169.  I'll drop it in a bag with your name on it just in case all the new ones are 170+.  I got a great drive with a Pulse today at Hudson Mills.  The best way for me to par that hole is to anhyzer out over the schule of certain bogieness and then come back to the fairway.  A Surge would just keep going right but the Pulse was great.  My partner was cursing Innova today for ruining the Monster with the new mold, and when I threw the Pulse he said, "Wow, what was that?" 

[Bruce Brakel]

I learned today, from the most reliable source imaginable, that the Gremlin is the same disc as the Ching Sniper.     Whoever was looking for a Tank or a Bomb or whatever should just figure out which disc that is in Innova and make the transition.  Every Ching disc is, was or shall be an Innova disc now that they have parted ways.

[Bruce Brakel]

I just added 10 Torqs to my order.  The Torq is a new mid-range.  It is a little more overstable than a Buzzz and a little faster than a Buzzz.  It is not yet approved for PDGA play, but it will be as soon as the approval people get done approving it.  Mark Ellis loves the Torq.  Junior and the other 16 players from illinois all got one in their player pack yesterday.

Junior and his partner tied for first at the Tobbogan Doubles, shooting the same score as the 2006 Michigan Open Champion and the good pro he drew for a partner.  Junior could do very well at this tournament. 

They announced that the next USADGC is likely to be in June rather than September.  We can do a qualifier in October or April, our choice.  Maybe May.  I'll get that clarified today or tomorrow. 

Illinois had the second most players participating, 17.

I'm doing my last 2006 Innova order as soon as Kelsey and I complete the inventory.

How many people have the brass for a Pro Sport or Skillshot and want one? 

I've already seen that I need Champ Orcs, Champ Beasts, Rhynos, anything else that anyone else noticed that I might overlook?  Tour bags?  Roc shirts?  I see that they found some Pumpkin Rocs in the storehouse all in the low 170s.

I am looking for Champ Gators and CFR Wraiths* 



*Dunno if you even cary CFR discs.
