Zone: Most Unique disc ever??

[New013]

I saw a kid walking up to the counter with a Quest disc a couple of weeks ago and then another kid saw what he was doing and escorted him back to the disc section. Life is hilarious some times.

The worst part about the Wildfire is that it kinda works. I remember trying one. I was LMAO and then thought "Oh, crap. It actually works." It wasn't all that bad. There are much better discs for what it does, but if you are a one-disc wonder it wouldn't be a bad disc to have.

gateway infernos....yes gateway made them first not quest. that marked up rim made it uniquely straight and glidey. i was amazed it didnt take off more. so effortlessly long and straight. the gateway/quest dimple technology was really innovative and unique flights. i think their major plastic inconsistencies at the time really turned people off.

The closest I ever got to those discs was when I was asked to hold them while the dg owner got on a ladder and then hung them on a wall.

---------->goes to a corner to cry.


interesting choice though, an apx?

The putter is an APX and says so on the bottom. The other is just called the memorial driver

ching discs have some weird ones.

I think its a cross between the 10m brick, wheel, and the wildfire...very gimmicky but very unique

Hey it seems like a comet (acting like he didn't see your earlier post).

i don't have to read all 9 pages to sum up this thread....

Person 1: "the Zone is unique and magical, it looks, feels, flies, smells and tastes like no other disc. plus it has an attractive accent that just hits my hears in a very pleasant way"

Person 2: "It's not unique at all, it flies like a slightly beat _____."

Person 1: "You're wrong, read my first post and you'll know I'm right"

The Zone is my favorite Discraft disc created in the last 10 years. It filled the space in my bag that I had to give up when I went all Discraft in the mid to late 90's. The Zone replaced the pirahna which is now out of production. Both of those discs fly like a cup.

innovas beadless gator (oop) is quite similar though not as flat-topped

was admiring miles seaborn bomb a zone off hole 1 at Woodway park in waco of the drive.

hyzer all the way.

i don't throw them, but yes, the zone is a great disc. very versitile with regards to putting, fish-hook skips, spikes, big hyzers, and drives. great in the wind. very low profile

Those Ultralights by QAT are pretty unique discs. I had a Raging Inferno DT that was a 139g. I only threw it a few times until my brother's friend took it back because he lost one he had. I remember throwing it once with some wind. It look liked it was going up stairs. Kind of cool, the glide was pretty amazing and they could just fly with ease.

They float and some weigh even lighter than 139g.

Is there any disc by any manufacturer that is as unique as the Zone by DC. leave out the Epic or any other gimmick discs. im talking production discs that have no possible comparable counterpart. prove me wrong please. im not just talking about stability. think, feel,shape,speed,stability,glide. everything.

bring it

this is a stupid post. epics are production discs, and have the most unique "feel,shape,speed,stability,[and]glide."

 

[ArcheType]

I dont have the energy to go over this again. my point is........ in this sport we are always comparing discs between manufacturers. i dont believe there is any "one" disc that you can say that is like a zone. not a longer zone. or a less stable zone. just "like a zone"

Pointing this one out too, I'm on the warpath tonight, but, give me a disc that is just the aviar without a single difference, or the roc, or teebird, or cyclone, or buzzz, or fuse, or any other disc out there. You can't, every disc is unique thanks to this crazy thing called patents. The only discs that can be made exactly the same as any production discs are other discs from the same mold.

Yeah insanely overstable putters are very unique. Especially beadless ones.

I see the point. but.... there are discs that have "similar" characteristics. my personal opinion was that there is no disc comparable. like Cali just said. overstable putters are extremely unique. i cant think of many. only the pig comes to mind and its nowhere as beefy as the Zone. Maybe I should have retitled the thread.

 

[HybridZombiw]

i say anything gt by dc is unique and interesting.

 

[TOURNEYPLAYER]

me too. love the banger. nothing feels like it.

The flick has no counterpart like it. The center of balance when in a roller is one thing that sets it apart. Since it's so flat, it can be cut rolled much easier and farther, any line you put it on it will hold.

There are many slow overstable discs.

can you name one? as slow as the zone? i mean the drone is an obvious comparison, gator, pig. but none are as overstable or slow. the only discs i have thrown that arent hsd that are as overstable as the zone are the Z XTREME and the CHAMP VIPER

The Blow Fly and the Arrow are bizarely unique, and MVP's two piece discs are too. Who can forget the first unique disc, the Aero?

I definitely agree with Aero. High profile and will hold any line at slow speed. Not many of us that throw'em out there but I still see one from time to time. I also see folks throwing Blowflys and Jujus, and I consider them unique for the way they hit metal and land, though I don't personally think they prevent rollaways and better than my Aero. Sometimes it seems like the flex in the rubber cause them to spring up and get on edge, and if it's on a hill it's bye-bye.

I think the Pig is unique too, but them I don't throw Rhynos. It's the most aptly named disc as it flies exactly like its name.

I'd also throw the Optimizer and Maximizer in there. Don't know if they're still made but I see them for sale on line. They probably fall into the trick shot category but they're PDGA approved and have no peer as far as understable discs. The Optimizer can be a nice get-out-of-jail disc for the drives you wish you didn't throw.
