[Vibram] Vibram Disc Golf Thread (Part II)

[TalbotTrojan]

To all those who really love the firms, I think I have a few firms that I would love to trade for Mediums. Any Vibram disc I have in my disc organizer that is a firm I am more than willing to trade for a Medium of the same, or something else I might want.

What's the firm ascent and ridge look like?

 

[Johnny Depth]

Jeffers! I received your two discs yesterday! Thank you! I will be testing them out soon!

Ascent is never thrown. Ridge was only thrown in the birdie bash I got it from.

Ascent is a green with other colors swirled in there. The Ridge is a blue and white swirl I believe. I will try and get pics up tonight.

Sorry, it was late and I wanted to go to bed.

I hooked you up bud lol, I'll see what I have left to trade, I know a few ridges and a lighter lace and a lighter ibex

Question for you Vibram throwers. What would you recommend for a solid start with these discs? 1 driver 1 mid 1 putter. Just thinking of venturing out and trying new things.

Thanks!

 

[Aim For The Chains]

you like stable? trak and ridge are do-it all discs IMO.

 

[Johnny Depth]

Start with a putter and mid!

 

[Aim For The Chains]

^a lot of over-lap given the mold and uses for a putter. Ill throw a putter and driver all day over having a mid. Hell you could tear up any course with a driver and putter but will lack some D with only a mid and putter (assuming your not a noobie)

 

[Uncle Dougie]

Awesome, Thanks guys for the input. Think I'll go trak and ridge when I do mess with them.

I could reach 95% of the holes out there with my Ibex and put it within 50' even on holes over 400'. The Ibex has amazing glide and beats in to a perfectly stable disc that will hold any line for eternum.
The Ibex has some crazy distance potential for a mid.

My recommendation for discs to get a taste of Vibram: Trak, Ibex, Sole or V.P.

Your signature is naughty, buns.

yep but atleast with some wind a driver can be powered down to hit the same lines as the mid but handle the high speed drives better.

I don't even have a high speed in my bag right now so don't get me wrong but if I am taking two discs out to try I want to see some differences and a mid/putter can fill a spot in a bag where the putter/driver fills 2 and gives for more of a fulfilling testing experience!

I understand that. For me, I would rather go the putter/mid route. Either one has its advantages and disadvantages for sure.

Why is there no mention of disc golf on the main Vibram website?

 

[Mocheez]

Someday, but probably not until later in the year. Last hint Steve gave everyone was that the next thing to testers was likely not a new disc but some other change to current discs. Either way I am excited to hear what the testers get in the mail in the next few weeks.

Did he specify that it would be a disc? I was hoping for a Vibram bag.

This is what he said.

Thank you all for your patience. We're on our third take and our currently testing the molds in production. (Yes, I said molds ...)

Having said that, I'm not saying that the next discs the testers see is going to be an OS Lace. It might not be a new disc at all.

 

[zenbot]

and since we're wildly speculating, a Vibram bag would be incredible.
