[Discraft] DISCRAFT ECLIPSE??

[philwallace]

Hey I found a Discraft Eclipse that is all beat to hell.. and it is now my favorite disc in my bag I want MORE!!

This disc is extremely understable and I do not yet have a big arm so its perfect for any of my right hook shots..

[philwallace]

man i would love to find one in mint condition or even a few new beat up ones...

i would trade for some

 

[philwallace]

ah im not really shoppin just want to see what everyone thinks about them..

 

[mambrose]

oo, well, i dont think id ever throw one, but thats just me. they get beat up really easy, and for a left to right shots, id throw a discraft meteor, or a innova wolf

the meteor dosent fade as hard, but the wolf will naturaly fade right, and its nice, just never liked the thumbtrac on it

It was the Discraft hyzer-flip distance disc back in the early 90's. Guys used to throw those and Stingrays in distance competitions. It seems like such a long time ago...it was really a revolutionary disc when it came out. They passed a rule about how sharp the nose could be becasue of it.

Anyway, they are really, really slow and they have really, really good glide. Even after the Cyclone replaced it as the best Discraft distance disc, a lot of guys used to carry an Eclipse as a roller. For new players and guys without a lot of armspeed, it's still a very useful disc. The downside is that it is only made in Pro-D. Combine the sharp nose with the base plastic and it's not the most durable disc around.

If you like flippy discs, you should try a Quest Defender. This post describes how it flies.

I like em an almost always keep one in my bag, but I find that the really beat ones are good for nothing but rollers - they need to be in reasonable shape to just take a turnover and still fade back. I've been throwing them since mid 80's or so. Like them for tight fairways as long as I don't try to power it too hard and to turn over for left turns (I'm a LHBH thrower). Although only pro-d plastic, I like them a lot more than the Stratus, which is good when it's new, but beats in to uselessness far too quickly for my liking in pro-d (elite-x is better for the Stratus). Parked a 325' drive with the Eclipse today. Beautiful S curve.

This is definitely not my big D disk, but definitely the disk I throw if the pin is around 300' away and a bit of a left turn is needed.
