threw the APE

[gianetics]

havent been throwing fh much, but a buddie of mine got and ape. the first time he threw it, it landed in the road 200 ft left of the tee box. So i new it is a massive meathook. so i wanted to fh it, obviously, i wanted to throw a hard anyhzer to see what it really had. i let it go at 45 degrees rhfh and it instantly wanted to come out of it. the throw looked like a huge U starting from anhyzer to flat to hyzer with alarming speed. i got it out to 350 and i can usually crush a fh throw. I dont know what this disc is usefull for but its fun to throw. on a side note it is very very nose angle sensitive, or mabey its been so long since i have throw a high speed driver. I want to see a big gun throw this for distance.

I can hit 440' all day long, and I can barely get my Ape 275', not counting the 4 miles it turns left (RHBH). One interesting thing I found about the ape is Tommy's. If you throw it just right on a tomahawk, it will flip over once, land straight up and down, and roll for about 80' or so. The fat lip just lets the thing roll forever.

With a ton of anhyzer and some monster height out to the left, giving it enough room as it crosses to the right and then fights back into its fade, I can pull 360-380 out of it. Trying to throw it flat I have to give it some impressive OAT in order to knock some of its HSS out of it. I can get it to fly straight for about 200 feet but its fade keeps it from getting more than 315-330 this way.

I love the Ape in my bag but it has some very specific roles and shots.

What I have found out is that the Star stamped Apes are less over stable then the stock runs. I am getting my Star stamp one out to the 380' range but can only get the stock stamp out to 330-350 range. I have found that my ape is a very good compliment to my 1st run Boss. If there is a strong head wind I can throw the ape flat and know that it will come back. I do know one thing... this thing comes out of your hand fast and gets where it is going fast.

JUNK.

And if the first runs are more flippy then the production runs.....Even more junk

yeah, you probably shouldn't throw an ape if you're OATing it at a 45 degree angle. chuck it hard into the wind with lots of snap... when you have a sharp dogleg to get around. otherwise it's just an unruly beast. i like the ape for doglegs but i went and apologized to my XG boss, and it took me back.

They are actually a slightly flippy disc.

I have a 430' golf shot and when I rip mine flat the same way I throw a new champ xcal the APE turns a little right then fades back hard, when the xcal just holds straight for a while then fades.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

I do like them for my lesser powered forehand. I can throw it anny and it fights back hard for a nice line.

if you can put a "slight anny on an ape fh and get a stright line on without oat i am impressed. my bh in very noodleish but i have on a good day, a great fh. i have a video showing me throw in the 430 range. also 345 up a big elevation, with my best throw 475 which would have cleared 500 it hit a tree with some speed to spare. i had a 20 ft comeback throw on a 460ft hole. might be my throw but unless i am throwing up hill i use no oat (when i get it right). i can understand bh with the added spin and distance potential. I want to see someone flip an ape on video!

I didnt say My forehand is OAT free. I throw the ape slightly anny with good snap and it fights back right. I never said I throw it straight.

I never said I "flip" my ape with my forehand. I stated I flip it back hand with snap because my backhand is my main throw. I dont have the power to "flip" and ape forehand.

But is still a flippy disc when powered properly for its speed. It is not like they described or rated it.
