that heavily woods play isnt even fun do yall really like hitting a tree on every drive and having fairways less than 20 feet wide not having the ability to save 3 on many holes

Real men play in the woods.

Make this a thread, and put your personal top choices as the voting options. Just a suggestion. You'll get a lot more eyes on it that way.

Thanks that's why I thoughts I'd check with the regular mvp boys first. Crave could be a good suggestion I'm not sure about Ions I did that 5 years ago.

Crave isnt slower than a teebird. The same

 

[GripEnemy]

Rim width is 1.8 for both, but I'd have to say the Crave has more distance potential. If I'm throwing equally flat 175 10/10 Champ/Proton side by side the Crave is going farther.

The crave I threw was a bit like a broken in teebird. So yea, I can see that.

 

[GripEnemy]

They are very similar to a slightly beat TB...has a bit more lateral movement a la the Eagle but they're very Teebird-like. They're less understable than the QJLS but knocked 'em out of my bag regardless.

Let's make my comparison better...those same discs I mentioned, even if the TB is 6-7/10, I bet I throw that 10/10 Crave farther.

You forgot the golden rule of disc golf. Nothing is the same as a Teebird.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

Except the crave..

Teebird vs crave

 

[elmexdela]

teebird is better

 

[wolfmandragon]

Teebird and Crave land within 3 feet of each other for me. The Crave flys straight to the target, whilst the Teebird has more lateral movement, both turn and fade.
The Crave is the longer of the two.

Kind of how I felt. Crave got there faster and lower, but they end up in the same spot.

 

[GripEnemy]

I'm not talking big difference in distance or some nonsense. But I stand by what I said..I'll film it if I have to. Both are awesome molds.

 

[dysmike]

You know, the Crave was the first Axiom mold I really liked, then a dog got it.

Back to teebirds

But yea, it's a great mold.

They are. I am surprised that you get more lateral movement with the Crave when it is the exact oppisite for me.

 

[ThrowaEnvy]

Hey so I was looking at the MVP order form for custom discs and it says 50 minimum with 25 min in each mold.. But when I look at the website it says 100 disc minimum. That's going to be a deal breaker for me... I'm going to assume the 100 disc limit is the correct info... gee and I was just going to do some research on the Trace...

Any of the retailers want to confirm for me?
Brad, Chad help a dude out?

 

[BrotherDave]

Guys, if you think the Crave is the same as a Teebird, that just means you haven't thrown the Teebird. The Teebird is such a magical, mystical mold that not even Innova can simply reproduce it. The Teebird is a disc of mythological proportions. The Crave is just a Teebird.

 

[brutalbrutus]

Had a couple stars and champs including a nice cloudy 12x but the only tbird ever gelled with was a +mold...







...which is probly why I like the crave

trace is a straight disc. like no joke straight. some turn and them some fade.

take a wraith, beat it up. you got a flip machine that will go.


plasma trace's have won me over. and i am considering dumping my photons for them.

This intrigues me. I'm looking to try some higher speed drivers and would like to use something around Wraith speed, but not as OS. Is there much difference between the Proton, Neutron and Plasma Trace flight wise?
