Thanks Jamie for bringing the info here! I'm still working on getting on here more! I apologize for being so slow at responding.

So I felt the X-Line plastic for the first time this week and it is awesome. The P2 is also awesome!
Is the discmania store the only place to pick up X-Line P2's right now? Besides the black market of course.
Any hope for greater availability in the near future?

The Discmania Store or Discmania Premium Retailers (retailers that get discs directly from us) are the only place you can get them from right now.

Looks like only the discmania store right now, but I would highly recommend supporting the discmania store by purchasing from them. Their customer service is great, and they do an awesome job of listing their discs so you can get exactly the run, stamp, color and weight you want.

Thanks for the kind words. We're working on getting the stamp color added to all the stock discs. It's quite time consuming, but we're working on it.

We're working on getting better pricing, we check back to our shipping partners about once a month at this stage to always try to get you guys the best price possible.

x-line should def. go into regular production. P1x and P2 are awesome in it. X-MD? could be interesting too. Drivers it probably grinds up too fast.
|
That's an interesting concept. We'll keep them in mind for future productions for sure. If we made the MD in another plastic, which would you guys prefer first? D-LINE, P-LINE (like the P-MD3), S-LINE or G-LINE?

We are testing the P-LINE FD right now. If it's successful we can possible move to X-LINE.

Rocking 2x D-P1x for putting duties, a P-P1x for approaches/drives, and the trusty Gummy Champ Rhyno for Rhyno stuff. Hopefully, one of the D-Lines will season up to a touch approach/anny putter for throwing, as well. They are surprisingly stable brand new!

We have found this to be true too. A lot of us have been using the P1x exclusively too. We would agree that they are very torque resistant, not quite overstable... but it doesn't drift all over the place.

I have no problem spending the money on shipping when it is that quick.
My order was delivered in a nice Discmania printed box and even included some watermelon Jolly Rancher candies too. Thanks Guys!

You're welcome. We do work pretty hard on getting good shipping prices!

I understand why initial releases of discs are produced in c-line (marketability, sales, etc.). How long does it typically take for a disc to make it into s-line (I dont recall the lenght it took for the PD)? More wondering about the process/decision making when it comes to a disc like the FD2 or new FD3. Will some discs never see other plastic types because the c-line mimics the flight numbers so well?
|
The process isn't as set in stone as you are thinking. For example right now with the FD3 we are really giving the C-LINE thorough testing and seeing how we can compliment it best with another plastic selection.

P-LINE P2s are made of KC pro like material.

Thanks for the suggestion, we'll most certainly consider this for future production.

This is interesting. It was not always like so. Order of availability by plastic type, roughly:
P1 D, Rpro and C. S?
P2 D, S, P, G, C & glow. X. This guy has it all.
MD1 SG, D?
MD2 Rpro, P, S and C?
PD first S? Then P and later C? Glow. G.
CD first D, then P and S about same time? Now there are a few C-CDs too but not regular.
TD first D, then S, then C?
PD2 went C, P and S, in that order, right? Glow too.
DD2 was in Echostar first, P C and S in some order. Now G.
FD S, D and C. G.
TD2 went S, C. Kind of a sidenote mold.
MD3 C, glow and much later now P
P3, D then C. Glow.
FD2 only C. Glow.
CD2 C, then G
P1X D and X almost simultaneously.
I am just typing this off the top of my head. Pls fix if you know how. Def seems like a historical pattern now where C-line is the norm. P-line has now only resurfaced in MD3. Before that the latest were P2 PD2 and DD2 so it has been a while. I think a lot of people would appreciate the missing links in P-line or barring that, S.

We are working on a few gaps in there. We'll get them out when they're perfected :)

We'll consider this for future productions. They would be pretty close but not identical to the McPro if we decided to make them.

Anybody have the down low on what the different FD2s are like in terms of stability. As far as I can tell there are 1st runs, production run C lines, and some glow C lines on the Discmania store.
|
The European Masters Fundraiser, First Run and Production run had a slight mix of flatter and domey. The domey version (most of the European Masters) are much more overstable than the flatter ones. The production C-LINE in the future will have a higher dome because it makes it more overstable and closer to the flight numbers. The flatter first runs and glows are slightly straighter and glide a little further before fading out.

I've had experience with the following FD2 runs (in the order of overstability):
OG release EOM FD2 - This disc definitely started out as my most OS FD2. Flew like a mini Firebird when I first started playing with it. It's been in the bag for about a year now and it's straightened out considerably, gained more glide, and has lost a little bit of the hard, biting fade, but has still retained it's HSS. JL red. This is currently the only FD2 I carry.
X-out production run FD2 - This disc is about the same as the EOM. Very OS out of the box with a tiny bit more glide and workability. It's also JL red, which makes me think that the red ones tend to be more OS.
Production run FD2 - This disc is my least favorite of the 4 different FD2 molds I have. It actually has a tick of high speed turn and a big heavy fade. It's a fun line shaper, but the turn makes dialing it in a bit of a challenge since it will tend to flex out a little more than I like for this disc. JL orange.
"First Run" stamp FD2 - This disc is my less stable FD2. It has good HSS (no turn), but has less fade and is a little longer than any of the other fresh FD2's that I've thrown. JL pink.
I've not thrown the Glow FD2, but have read that it's the least stable of all of the lineup. YMMV of course. ;)
|
Interesting. The European Open and the Stock run is the same run. We had picked them because they were most overstable with the dome. If we lined them up here they would go:
Domey FD2 (European Masters, First Run, Stock Stamp) > Glow FD2 > Flatter First run

Nice set up!

I'm sure we'll get a hold of you if we need a tester :)
