Sorry I didn't specify that I meant the original Grip line pure which were awesome. I had a stack of them I sold when I wasn't working and it's the only plastic I regret getting rid of. S/DS destros and 11x fb and tbs I don't even miss. That dang original grip plastic was so unique. I still have one that's been in my bag four years and still throws beautifully.

Olympic Discs in Shelton Wa. Still has 2 blue ones on the shelf

And Latitude pulls more money from my bank account. I have so many Pures at home (including Retros that I haven't even thrown yet) but still know I'm picking these up.

Yeah, I might buy 10 of them. Grip Line is pretty much my favorite plastic ever. It's IMO the only one of a kind plastic I've ever felt in a golf disc.
|
I'm down for one of those as well. :thmbup:
|
About time. Why they ever stopped making the best pure plastic ever im not sure.
|
Ah, the good old days, before I discovered the ION...Still love you Pure. I am just not IN love with you.
|
So... what's the deal with grip line? How does it compare with Zero soft?
|
It feels more like Innova's Pro plastic than the Zero soft. Firmer, but good grip and wears slower. Cool plastic. I have a 170 in red 10/10 I'll give you for a free Coke or something if you want to give one a try. It is just hiding in my work bench anyway.
|
So where do the Grip Line Pures get released today? My bank account needs a little draining.....
|
Community has them up on the site but you cant buy till noon of course :D.
http://communitydiscs.com/latitude-6...r-anniversary/ KW Disc golf has them up as well: http://kwsdiscgolf.com/product/pure-...year-latitude/ KW has a un-boxing vid in his thread and he had some good colors in his order. I'm sure DD will too. I really don't have much love for the Pure but, I am still gonna get one! |

Got 3 pinks and 3 purples from DGC. I'm happy.
|
KW is sending a couple my way, a pink and a gray! Can't wait to try them out!
|
Dynamic is out already. My order got reduced from 7 to 5 between my clicking submit and the order processing. And that was at 12:04.
The Dynamic newsletter announcing #NewReleaseFriday arrived in my inbox at 12:13. Oops. |
Powergrip sold out their first stock in 7 minutes.
|
Well can't wait to see this plastic in other molds.

Crazy mad rush on the Grip Pures lol. We only have 5 left after the first hour. They feel so nice. It's almost like a very grippy Gold Line
|
Countdown to Facebook posts selling pures that haven't even arrived yet...
|
Do these feel anything like you would expect a Frost Pure to feel like?
|

Obviously hard to compare to something that doesn't exist. :doh: :D |

Anyone notice a difference in color stability with the Opto's? I had a blue Pure that I could trust to drive without turning it over and I could trust it to have a nice fade on up shots. I've own two pinks since, and they seemed much more understable.
|
Quote:
I have a Yellow Sparkle Opto that is under stable so ya they are different |
So what is Grip line like? And would an Opto or grip line be better for long approaches or even drives? TIA for any and all responses.
|
Opto is best for drives. Gripline isn't exactly a premium plastic. It's good though. You could drive/long approach with opto and use grip for everything else.

Soft sits better on a fast green and can kick less off of stuff. Opto is a bit beefier and beats in slower. The non-optos beat in quickly, and for me, allow a lower power touch shot that's straighter than the opto. |
Quote:
Stability wise, they're more neutral than the opto plastic & less fade...at least now compared to 6 years when they were new. And when it comes to an approaches or drives, it really depends on the shot. If it's a touch shot or finesse shot, I'll normally resort to the grip line pures, and a few times with the original zero line pures. Otherwise, I by default I use my goldline pures and the vip harp for driving and approaches. Goldline pures I can rip on them and not worry; they're very predictable. I love driving with them! Needless to say I carry the original zero line, grip line, & goldline plastics in my bag. Can't leave home without them! :thmbup: |
My Zero Mediums are way more durable than they are given credit for. I've slowly taken the Opto and GLs out of the bag for them. Not saying I won't put them back in one day but the improved grip and glide of the Zero Mediums make them tough to beat.

I've got few, but haven't had a chance to throw them yet. In the hand the plastic feels really similar to GStar. |
Its like driver pro. Gloss wears off quick and doesnt retain shape as well as premium plastic. Grip line will last for lots of drives though.

Opaque Neon Yellow-Green >> Opaque White/Pink > Clear Orange/Blue/Red > Clear Yellow I suspect that non-Opto Pure throwers might not notice a difference. I like the opaque neon yellow-green ones for dead-straight flat shots out to ~250; can't really say they fade but they will do a slight left curl on hitting the ground. |
