The first retailer orders are shipping to the West Coast and Mountain region to arrive at the stores 11/21 so they can get ready for the 11/23 release. Pretty darn exciting!

Your telling me. Black Friday at the Disc Golf Stores!

The Inbounds chart has the Lace being amazingly straight to 458'. But how's the Lace for us noodle arms that can't reach beyond 350'? Should I just stick with the Trak/Ascent or will it help with a little more distance?

If a fast disc is too stable for you, try to give it a little more anhyzer. You should see more distance before it fades. You might need a little more room for the disc to "S' out.

I understand that generally if you don't get a disc up to its' speed it will tend to be more stable than advertised. But I'm not sure how this answers the question?? I didn't ask how to deal with an overstable disc. Just adding anhyzer to an overstable disc has never suddenly added another 100' to the distance I can throw.

At this point in my disc golf evolution, I am approaching (if not actually there) a noodle arm status. I throw the Trak 300' or so. The Lace reaches 360-380 consistently and I've thrown over 400 with it. To really get max D with it, I release it on a slight anny.

I would get the lightest Lace you can find. Looks like that would be 167g for the first run of Laces. This will help somewhat with stability with a lighter weight disc.

I had to ratchet back on the weight of most of my discs to get them to fly "as designed". I throw my Stingrays in the low 160s and most drivers in the mid 160s to be able to hit similar lines. I would think I'd also need to go light on the Lace to get it to fly like that. If that is really the flight path, the name is quite apropos.

I personally putt with a VP, but still carry Sole, Ridge, and Summit for upshots/approaches. All four molds are very useful and I'm sure there is a mold that fits your preference.

I would of typed the exact same thing!!!

Wow - that's an impressive jump. But do you get the same increase with other high speed drivers? I'm occasional getting Trak to 300 but I max out at around 330 even with speed 13s.

Thinking about rocking an all vibram bag for winter. Do you guys think I would be alright with a Ridge, Ibex, and Trak?
