D-line FDs are flip-city!

I've got one in the bag right now and it's awesome for rollers, as well as effortless turnovers and standstill shots. Tons of fun to throw! It sits next to a G-line for laser beam hyzer flip and anny lines, a 3rd run C-line that is my workhorse FD, and a 2nd run C-line for more windy days and when I need something to work tighter lines. I also carry an FD2, but usually am powering down on it and using it as an OS mid and utility disc.

-5th run C line that I simply don't throw after re finding out the S line after I learned to throw better as the year progressed

-and a 167g 2nd run, just rip on it and goes straight forever, or power down for a teebird esque flight.

-FD2 for flicks and even more OS duties

-then a S FD3 for mostly flicks or short big hyzer spykes or where I need a lot of fade but a PD2 is too long for!

Also I picked up 3 swirly s line MD3's and 6.... yeah 6 big stamped P lines. That big stamp is so awesome :p:p:p

what is the most overstable run ever?

Well actually we just stumbled across the Prototype S-LINE PD2. It's by far the most overstable PD2 we have ever tested, but unfortunately it's too stiff for PDGA play.

In general the C-LINE is more overstable so i'll just add S-LINE where it belongs.

2nd run DDs have considerably more glide, especially the ones with the higher dome. They're one of our furthest flying discs behind maybe only the G-LINE DD2.

We don't have any of the 2nd run FD's left. We have dug through everything multiple times to make sure we get all of them out to you guys. We have found that 165-169 FD2s fly a lot like the 2nd run FDs. Heavier FD2s are more beefy and great for touch sidearm shots.

How would a cline fd compare to a champ teebird?

C-LINE FD's and Champion TeeBirds share a lot of the same features. For example they are both speed 7 fairway drivers and both have a clear plastic. But the differences start to come in the flight. Now remember this is my opinion of comparing two brand new discs. The FD will be more willing to hold a line and not fade as early as the TeeBird with less effort.

what's to come this year as far as discmania??

discmaniacs need something to look forward to!

We'll have a few new things coming this winter - including the G-LINE PD2 today!

basically a shorter PD.

even at light weights these things are stable as hell.

some of the lightest ones are the most overstable actually.

I would agree with this.

We greatly appreciate the kind words!

We agree with this. it was meant to compliment the PD, CD and even the TD.

I have several and they all flew more Hss than any of pd's I've tried. I like the pd but love the CD2 and with the release of the fd3 it kicked all pd's out of my bag. But I do like your comparison, I think the thunderbird is the glow sexton fb to the Pd's firebird. Where I think the cd2 is like a more HSS Valkyrie.

The First Run C-LINE CD2s came out a little more overstable than the prototypes, so they were a little more HSS than they were supposed to be. The 2nd run we got to feel and fly exactly like the prototypes. We had guys testing these that were throwing them further than their favorite 11-13 speed drivers. We highly recommend this disc for those looking for a long straight flyer.

The CD2 is one of the best discs out there imo. Kinda like a thunderbird yeah, it is sneaky long, most people that throw them love them!

I agree with this. especially players loving them!

Hybrids and Swirly S lines fly a little bit more stable than the normal S lines.

Nuts straight.

We agree!

Also, really liking the new run of P-MD3's. These one's seem to break in a little faster than the proto's did. Now I can start rotating them and covering all my mid duties with various MD3's(C and P). Really looking forward to S-MD3's when they become widely available :D

We've never really made pumpkin discs, we've made halloween discs :) and thanks for the feedback on the new P-MD3s!

Try both for sure, we did a couple of cold morning rounds where they both performed great!

If we made them we would be looking for more beef.. maybe we'll slide this into our testing.

MD3 nut here...what is MF? Also, any colors of the new MD3s that break in faster than others (I'd buy d-line if they sold it...used to love my flat dx rocs, and MD3s replaced my rocs for their great stable flight but better grip/feel).

We haven't found one color to break in faster than another yet. We'll keep an eye on the rate at which these discs season.

How to tell apart the old understable run of Blizzard PD2s and the newer run?

You should really try the newest run (2nd run) of the CD2 they are a softer feeling plastic that glides great.

The old Blizzard PD2s have a large pop top to them and they had a rim that felt slick and was glossy looking.

We agree with that! and the G-LINE FD might work good too.

That's what I was thinking.

I am pretty sure they take longer to wear in. They are closer to S-LINE Plastic than normal P-LINE.

I'd say it's more like 50/50 who like gummy P-PD's. Myself, I prefer the the stiffer P-Line's because of they seem to have better glide than the gummy's. But, the gummy's seem to hold their stability a little bit longer than the stiff one's.

Yeah, the harder ones start just as overstable then beat in faster but then get to point where they stay. The gummy ones take a little more to get there. We have actually found the G-PD to fly very close to the gummy P-LINE PDs. We would recommend the G-PD as a replacement for those looking to get a new gummy P-LINE PD.

looking at the current line up, what do discmaniacs still desire or think is needed?

the disc selection is getting pretty well rounded.

I'd still like to see (this is mostly for sake of converstation)

p4-flat low profile glidless putter, the P3 looks and feels awkward (mega domes) rhyno/piggy/scale

MD4-flat low profile glidless mid, the gator/drone killer

FD4-crazy overstable trickshot spirit/firebird/flick (just for shiggles)

Maybe start running some different plastic configurations. The new PMD3s have caught a good following and proved to be a great addition to the overall offerings.

I seriously think that firm KCP Esq FDs would be awesome, if DX is justifiable I these should be too.

bright (no wine) metal flake MD3/FD/PD2

Sorry for the delay in response again! Thanks for the suggestions!

MD4- It's too bad they didn't get the mortar molding for the MD4. A beadless gator would have fit the bill. But I am sure they have a good reason for that! Eagle still has his gator which leads me to believe something is in the works.

I agree with an FD4 thoughts, but maybe more like a PD3? Something that resembles a champion max (or MF max that eagle carries) with so much beef it can handle any wind and will always dump hard. I think this would suit Eagle and Simon well and would be something unique for the lineup.

I like the idea of the P4 and feel that was the champion P2/P3 goal, but fell short. I know the jokeri reigns supreme for that spot in Europe. It would make sense to create something to compete for market share.

I still feel a speed 9ish roadrunner type disc could do well. The TD2 doesn't seem to have a strong following and much like the CD2 did for the rebirth of the CD, a TD3 could be the solution!

Discmania are not far off from having the perfect lineup. I don't see them being the company to add tons of new discs each year like Innova. I think they could round their lineup with 3-4 more molds and be set. Then they could focus on special stamps and releasing each mold in the various plastic lines.

The store has endless possibilities for new runs and releases of existing molds. MF anything would sell like hotcakes, especially within the fairway and mid-range lineups. Getting more molds (like the FD2 or CD2) into s-line or swirly s-line plastic. Creating flat top variations of the glow MD3 again (like the euro release) etc etc.

end of 2015-2016 will be exciting!

Thanks for all of the suggestions! It seems like you get where we're going with our lineup. We just want to have the best overall selection that any player can play with!

I'm just so much a fan of the S Line plastic for grip and durability, and, I like many have been moving to DiscMania from Innova, and it's been one good thing after another. Luckily the P1x was coming out when I was in need of a dead straight putting and throwing putter, I wanted a putter to do it all, and that was/is it. Paired with the P2 for overstable drives/ approaches, I'm all set now putting and approaching.

- D P1x (putting, approach) and S P2 drives and approaches. And a standing $25 offer for a pink S P1x specially for me.

Probably my favorite Innova discs right now are my Roc3s - the Buzzz killer Star plastic and better-than-a-roc MF Roc3. Same mold covers almost all the ground in the mid area OS to straight, with a Star Mako3 covering the flippy range. I also carry a Gator, because sometimes you need to dive bomb or shoot around a corner and nothing does it better than a swirly pink Gator.

- S MD, S MD3, S MD4 would fill my bag on mids.

The S FD changed my world. It's longer and still controllable as a fairway. Flips up and can ride straight, or thrown flat can move right as much as I need with a flat finish. I have a Star Teebird that's just begging to be tossed in the backup box when the S FD2 comes out, and I'll be all set on the fairway world. It seems like I can almost stretch the FD2 to cover the FD3, but the FD3 has been a good forehand disc for me. Still have a new Star Firebird to give me the ability to really turn a corner and not glide out long.

- FD, FD2 and FD4 in S Lines would complete me in the fairways.

I'm coming from a Wraith background as the destroyers have always been just out of reach except for the windiest days. Adding in a DD now and working off the initial stability. Also have a DD2 that's just too much disc for me. Even with the understable ratings it's just too fast to get hold of and make it fly correctly. The CD is awesome. Adding the PD which early indications look awesome. If there were a driver to add for me, it would be an 11-12 speed driver with some turn right out of the bag.

- CD, PD, DD, and maybe a TD Rush, all in S Lines would cover my bag.

Thanks for the insight! We'll keep all of that in mind!

they make all of those in Sline

The TD is like the house secret disc. There are so many lines you can conquer with the TD.

Have they ever done stiffer pro for putters? Would like that grip but stiffer, would be the perfect putter. Paired with a nicely seasoned S-Line, I'm all set from 150' and in!

Discmania is taking over my bag like a plague on all other discs.

You should try our X-LINE plastic!

Not sure if you know this or not, but P-Line P2's are run in a different P-Line plastic than that P-Line P1's. The P2's are run in a KC Pro like plastic where as the P-Line P1's are run in a plastic more liken to the X-Line...just a bit less rigid.

"viper PD" old EO or Presidents cup one I think, has a big sweet snake on it.

the lynx predator stamp atlas?

Good luck getting both of those!

Quote:

yes, p-line p2's are a soft pro plastic like mcpros. They are also ran in a stiff pro plastic much like kc pro penned "KP2". Lastly the p1 is ran in r-pro or else it would be a mcpro aviar.

Close - The P2s are the same material, except runs vary a tiny bit in firmness...

Pretty much what has been said before. Super stupid OS putter mid and fwy. Also A little bit faster, longer (i.e. with a touch of turn) PD. Something like 11-12 / 5 / -1 / 2 driver would be nice. Although a beat in P-PD2 is pretty much that. But a out of the box one in JL plastic would be lovely.

You'll like the G-LINE PD2 that's coming out today...

I have only seen two people with the viper stamp in their collection. It was a players pack only disc. Is that your holy grail?

My holy grail is the Scandinavian open P2's from 2008. No one from Europe will sell me one though :(

Those are pretty nice too.

The ligherweight ones are bombers too!

want one beefy? C

want to season a workhorse? S

want something flippy soon? P

they start off like a beefy wraith/teerex and could easily season into anything else on the flippyer side of the spectrum.

Good assessment!

The FD2 will be a little bit slower feeling in flight, grab a lighter weight one it will help you project the disc at a faster speed, and the lighter ones can handle a boatload of juice behind them.

tad shorter may have more turn than a teebird but also have a harder fade.

I disagree with the turn part. Are you throwing a flat first run by chance?

Thanks for the input! We'll consider it for sure!

Cd2 would gain a lot more popularity if it were in s line!

Try the newest run of C-CD2, it's a touch softer and we have found it seasons up a little better than the first run.

You must have gotten the 2nd run of them.

Your friend might have the 1st run.

Quote:

Originally Posted by maskedavenger (Post 2876391)

Again, i'm sorry for the delay in my response! I'm working on freeing up some time to get to back to you guys!

Yes I do believe he was talking about the CD2 in that S line response.

Just another bid for S line FD2 and CD2 :P In theory they sound like absolute money discs.

I get that Jussi/the company wanted to move away from the original mold names/graphic designs in favor of simple and professional but.....

were/are there any working mold names that you guys were looking at for the most recent molds? i.e what were the working names of the Cd2/P3/MD3/FD2/FD3?

the spooky CPD2 was a great idea, I would love to see other mold gets the same treatment.

AND!

you guys should run some more DFDs especially in white, please. (make lots of mistakes/adjustments with your stamping machine so I can get a bunch of XOUTS!)

I received a couple of P1X x-outs recently for putting. They're great but they're a lot stiffer than my main set of D-line P1x's. The x-outs feel almost pro-like to me. Would it be possible to have different listings for the stiffness of D-line discs, or would it be better for customers like me to request a preference for disc pliability in the comments of the order?

Yes, firm S-Line CD2's, please! :) And thanks for getting back to us, Ryan! That's a buttload of questions you just replied to, we know it takes quite a lot of time to keep up and reply to everyone, I'm sure everyone here appreciates what you're doing.
Also, I'm happy to hear that you're working on P-Line FD's! Must be a glide monster.

Just thought I'd share that my bag is now 100% Discmania! Md3 and P2 replaced my mcpro aviar and roc3. Also repping discmania everywhere I go and putting discs in people's hands!
