[Vibram] Vibram Disc Golf Thread (Part II)

[Brodysseus]

Ahh, excuse my accusation sir. Well I'd say the ridge is closer to a V.P. than a Summit. It's like a more O.S. Ion with less glide and a thinner profile. It drives like a dream and handles wind like a champ. I actually have a buddy that likes Ions but is considering making the switch.

This is pretty spot on. I agree that while the Ridge is between the VP and Summit in stability, it is much closer to the VP. Especially in terms of HSS, where the Ridge and VP are extremely similar. And I didn't throw Ions for long when I tried them a couple of months ago but Ridges are comparable flight wise. The Ridge is a little shorter, seems a tiny bit more stable, has less glide, handles wind better, and is much less sensitive to OAT. That's just my opinion though.

Biggest difference for me between the Ridge and Ion is the release, I've never had a putter release better on putts or drives than the Ridge, this is probably due to my small hands though. The grip and smaller profile of the Ridge make it better than the Ion IMHO, give it a try Johnny, I'd bet you'd like it, even if it doesn't take over putting duties you'd probably still have use for it on windy/rainy days.

How serious are you, old sport?

How serious are you, old sport?

As serious as I am old. I'm too old to hoard discs - need to get them in circulation and get more people loving the rubber.

 

[Johnny Depth]

How about just the summit and obex? Also, when would you like them returned?

Have fun and good luck! Birdie Bashes are great events. You should have an amazing time playing. Just make sure to not get too uptight and things should go great for you.

Do vibram discs take a while to beat in?

 

[Joner11]

Haha, so you were that skinny guy. I was the guy that was wearing the Vibram shirt that came with the discs, since I might have been the only person who would fit in a medium.

Anyway, it was fun. I'm almost sure I got the worst scores, but that doesn't matter.

Loved the Summit. Not too crazy about the Ibex.
