Vibram Disc Golf Thread

[StevenDodge]

Good suggestions all. And I read this stuff, let it trickle into the brain cells that still work, and see what filters out when we go into the product development meetings. I will promise you that we are working on some stuff, I'm just being mighty quiet about what it is. I haven't even told my mom.

I was unsubscribed to this thread for many months and only recently jumped back on. I'd LOVE an overstable mid. The Ibex is a solid disc but it's not for me. I'd love something akin to the VP I can put a lot on. I'm thinking of something as fast as a Q Sentinel upto a Wasp.

You haven't told your mom?!?!?! She is going to be bummed out when she finds you have been keeping secrets.

I understand the need to keep it all on the down low. Plus it makes it more fun for the rest of us to keep guessing.

Kind of addicted to Summits...

Summit is a completely under-rated disc.

The Firm Ibex/FIBEX feels nice. Heading out to toss a few now.

This cannot be overstated. I like me some Vibram but with their current line up covering the vast majority of golf shots the only thing left that would really get me nutty is X-Link Fusion.

I really couldn't care less if Vibram released a max speed driver, I'd give it a whirl but I doubt I'd go nutty over it. As far as disc gaps I guess a pred type slot is really where they're lacking most, but overstable driver isn't a favorite for me so I really wouldn't be that interested and I bet i'm not alone on that. Don't get me wrong it needs to be done, it's just not all that "exciting". Now that I think about it a modified version of the Ascent that could actually stay in the air would be awesome. I really want to like that disc, I just can't ever get it to travel anywhere near as far as a Teebird would. The Trak seems to have some glide staying power but it's a little too understable for primary duty.

But seriously, X-Link Fusion. Now.

First thing;


This is really outstanding Steve. You have a budding artist in your midst.
I would like you to personally thank the Vibram elf who built this, for me, because I think they did a great job.

But I have questions.

This disc was obviously built up with the colors arranged in a particular pattern, not just thrown randomly in the mold.
There was some thought put into it.
So how much freedom do you allow to the elves ?

Obviously , they could not intentionally build up a mold that might be a trade mark violation, like a Chevy Bow Tie logo, and I'm sure they cant spell out words, especially swear words, in a disc, but, do you encourage them to exersize thier artistic creativity, as in the disc above ?
Or are they just mindless droids you keep alive with feeding tubes soley to do your bidding ?

Oh, and thanks Deezy.
