My 2013 VO hybrid Ridge just arrived on Saturday and I took it out and played with it, and it is a little funky, not sure I would recommend it, having each half of the disc with a different firmness does not really add anything, I should have just ordered a normal firm or medium ridge. The disc is supposed to be half firm and half medium, but feels more like half medium and half soft.
I took my hybrid ridge out again, this time to the local short course, and I really do not recommend them, it is a pretty lame disc, there are so many other putt/approach discs I would recommend before a hybrid ridge, icon clozer is much better, lucid judge is much better, the hybrid ridge is not a good disc for putting or approaching, disc golf is all about rotation, controlling rotation, how much rotation, etc., so you want a disc that is really uniform all around the flight plate, rim, etc., so the vibram hybrids end up more a novelty than an actual disc for playing on the course.

I have been playing a summit, Obex, trak and a lace in the half & half mixture for a little over a year now. I could NOT disagree more with what Tom wrote. He writes that he did not like the half & half ridge and there are much better discs on the market. This thread is about vibram hybrids, not which putter is less lame.:wall:
Also, they do not fly any differently than a normal medium or firm disc. When my trak got broken in, it started to become less stable.
OR are we talking about one wing of the disc being medium and the other wing being firm?
Any word if they're going to made available to the general public?
Thanks for the clarification! Any word if they're going to made available to the general public? I guess it depends on the feedback they got on them, but it sounds like pretty good feedback so far.
They (every year made) are available to the public, though many models are sold out. Limited run every year. I have a '13 VO Ridge (red/white) I'm selling, 10/10 if interested PM me. The new ones are black/white and can be found here.
