The 10m Brick

[Heathen]

I picked up one of these discs on a whim and I'm really feeling some love on this thing.

Has anyone else used one of these yet?

What has been your experience with this somewhat strange putter?

[Johnson]

Fondled one yesterday, kinda like the feel but I have no idea how it flies though.

[rusch_bag]

Nothing like buying a disc that was designed to lay up from 30 feet away.

[discspeed]

Consistently draws a good number of votes in any "worse disc ever" type thread. There's just no real way to grip that thing consistently.

[LakeBodom397]

Never met a Quest disc that I liked.

[Heathen]

It's definitely a wierd little thing.

The way I putt, pushing out from center and letting the disc just roll off the hand, this disc seems to be doing some good things for me.

With most of the mass centered in the disc, it seems to carry straighter.

It's really like chunking a softball at the basket.

It's still a bit new so time will tell, but I kinda like it.

[apdrvya]

prepare for me to point at you chuckle, heathen... ha!

It doesn't fly!

This. Although its meters right? Either way, you are laying up nancy boy.

LOL

It's not a lay up. It's not an approach disc at all.

It's sole purpose is to hit the chains from putting distance, something I'm a bit inconsistent at.

All the weight of the disc concentrated in the middle just feels good to me. It's weird.

And all this hatin' makes me want to use it all the more :D

raging inferno dt...haaated it for the longest time til it broke in(bout a year). then it was the best thumber ive ever used

[smarkquart]

If it works for you and goes in the basket, who ultimately gets the last laugh?

I guess the key is making it work for you before it lives up to its name and drops like a brick after 10m.

[dahig]

quest makes a disc called the 10m crossfire...it was fun too throw also. same deal...center heavy.
it's shaped a lot more like a regular putter so can handle more distance than the brick. (for me)

[MDethCKR]

Either way the brick isnt pdga legal...i think?

I hadn't seen that before. Thank you for giving me a bit of a laugh. If it is working for you, keep at it. If it stops working, just don't be too hesitant to throw it in the trash.

[Huk Finn]

Try using the Brick for a thumber. You'll be shocked at what happens!

[elnino]

i have one for trade if anyone wants one......warning this disc will not improve your game. it should be called a 5 meter brick because becomes understable at 25 feet. rolls if you hit front of rim...kinda bounces away sometimes if you don't loft it in. really one trick pony! 15ft it is okay...but you should be working on your putts and gettting better putting than this. think

the groove is to driver as 10m brick is to putter.

[jubuttib]

the groove is to driver as 10m brick is to putter.Well that's not entirely fair to the Groove now is it? There really aren't any good 10m Bricks out there, but there are plenty of good Grooves. It's the wild variations that make the Groove so sucky.

What happens?

I don't want to have to go get a Brick just to find out.

yeah same here.. ha

[DiscJunkie]

The Brick has its uses, just not very many.
I picked up one and have used it for a time or two and it has probably saved me a few strokes.
I don't necessarily like the disc, but I like the innovation.
Frankly, the 10M Brick is just as useful to me as the latest Speed 14 driver that gets pushed out to suck in all the noobs.

If you like the center-weight thing, try Quest's 10M Crossfire. Same principle, traditional design.

[Three Putt]

There was a time when Quest was celebrated for having "revolutionary" designs and "thinking outside of the box." Thinking outside the disc golf box was easy for Steve since he didn't play disc golf. The 10M Brick was just one of the "revolutionary" Quest discs. The Wildfire and Backbone have a bubble top that is designed to be popped up or down depending on the stability you want. The Odyssey series were over-molded discs years before MVP made the Ion. The "Dimple Technology" on the wings was a big deal that was debated for hours on the Internet just a few years ago. The Turbo Putt caused the Technical Standards for discs to be revised. The huge wing on the Double D is the reason 2.6 cm was selected as the max wing length (so Quest wouldn't have the "unfair advantage" of having the biggest legal wing grandfathered in.) The Wheel being denied approval was also debated for hours on end. It seemed like every disc golf web site was buzzing with "what will Quest do next?" There was no shortage of people hailing Quest for pushing disc design forward.

Now, it's easier to see the "revolutionary" Quest discs as golf discs designed by a non disc golfer that no one who actually plays disc golf would want to use. Some of their more conventional discs like the original Inferno are pretty decent, but the SRP plastic is crap. Very few people still throw any of their discs. When Gateway released an illegal disc everybody freaked out, but Quest has at least two illegal drivers out that nobody said a peep about. They have fallen completely off the disc golf map. It funny to think about four years ago and how much time was spent discussing a bunch of discs that basically now are forgotten.

[Technohic]

I have 2 Defenders; one basically brand new and I can't give them away. lol

Ahh well. They make for decent new player discs.

[mickas]

It is a disgusting disc.

[Triflusal]

I have four 10m bricks in my bag that are in stages of wear

So I guess that means you use it?

You must be the only one by the looks of it.



I haven't even been on a course with this thing yet. I've just thrown about 50 or 60 practice putts with it and it seems to have increased my comfort zone of putting by about 50% instantly. And I have to admit, I think my putting sucks. I don't have a long drive either. I throw about 270-300 on my best days, but reasonably accurate. My up shots (120' and less) are usually putting it within 20' of the basket. Thats my "old" comfort zone. Under 20' and I'm hitting at least 8 or 9 out of 10 putts. But as soon as I started throwing that brick, 30' felt just as natural as 10.
Inside 30' or so I kinda push putt. And by kinda I mean it's not like the videos teach. I push it straight at the basket and let it roll off my hand to impart just enough spin to keep it steady on it's short flight. The way this thing is weighted, it just really seems to fit my putting style.

The funny thing is, as screwed up as everyone thinks this disk is, is probably a testimony as to just how dicked up my putting really is. :rolleyes:

I was kidding. if I were you I would ditch the gimmick putter, its only a crutch.

[pchitti]

You can putt with any disc you like, some discs will do nothing but give you the confidence you need to putt consistently. Others will improve your putting, your choices man.

Use what you like and enjoy, to me that is like using a driver or birdie to put.

[billnchristy]

Rock-it is an excellent quest disc. They make lightweight (110g and up) ones that kids can just absolutely BOMB. Think of a classic-roc with more speed because of the dimples...sweet disc.
