Trilogy Challenge 2015

[pecosROB]

Yep, no PDGA required. The whole point of the Trilogy Challenge (besides getting people excited about the brands) is to get the minimum number of discs in people's hands so that they could go play a round of DG. They also don't have to pay much more than a starter pack at a store for discs with more durable plastics.

Anyone thrown any of this years discs yet? I'd like a rough idea of how they fly before showing up. Might just have to learn on the go though.

I read somewhere the Sampo is slightly US - don't know how different that will be from the Seer or the Hatchet, or the Underworld.

Still a week or so to go before the first Trilogy Challenges are scheduled, so it's only a matter of time before folks will have a chance to throw them and report. Unless you're playing an early TC, I'd wager you'll get your rough idea before you get the discs.

Hosting on the first day, 5/30. Order's in and paid, but no discs yet.

Look forward to hearing how the Sampo performs.


Glad to see a Westside disc in Elasto that isn't warp speed.

Playing on May 30th, I guess I'll be one of the first to review them

I received a few of each today from Latitude 64°. The macana is a great strait putter, less stable than a shield, but more over stable than a swan. The evidence right out of the box is super straight, sometimes with a touch of turn and a straight finish if thrown properly. The sampo is slightly over stable, with a good neutral flight and a glidey left fade. Hope this helps.

The Sampo is over stable, with more fade than a Stag.

Here's someone's demo:

Sounds like a perfect trio for a 3 disc round to me.

If I were to play a 3 disc round it would be PD, Truth, Mercy. Sounds like a similar lineup.

Dynamic Discs posted videos of Cory Obermeyer throwing all TC discs on their Youtube channel. I'll give these flight numbers based on what I saw and what Cory told in the video (distances etc).

Elasto Sampo: 9 / 5 / 0 / 2.5
Fuzion Evidence: 5 / 5 / -1.5 / 1
Retro Macana: 2 / 4 / 0 / 1

 

[BirdieMachine]

I'll trade for a Macana if anyone has extra.

So its a Saint pro, a beat Truth, and a Judge. That works.

When has westside ever been accurate with their numbers? Looks more like it will s not hold a rope like a traditional 0/2.5

He was estimating numbers by looking at the flight- official numbers arent listed yet, i dont think.

 

[drive4showput4dough]

Ahhh gotchya

 

[DougCrawford]

The video of the Sampo looks pretty nice actually- no turn when released flat.

 

[RistoS]

Elasto Sampo: 9 / 5 / 0 / 2.5

Scratch that, it's a 2.1 mm rim (larger diameter than the Villain though, for example). It's listed under Latitude 64 in the approved discs list, no wonder I couldn't find it!

11 / 5 / 0 / 2

 

[DougCrawford]

Same numbers as the boatman- hmmm

 

[RistoS]

Again, just my own estimates changed to match the wider rim
