I mentioned this in a previous post, but it will be removing my season star firebirds. Very much different discs in their own right, but for flex shots and my use of both mold, the FD3 has been superior.

I ordered two and have bagged the bubble rim dayglo since it arrived. I love how HSS it is and the distance control I can get with it. It has been pairing perfectly with my s-line DD's which I was use for max Distance flex and flip shots. This one I can hang out left (LHBH or RHFH) and let the disc to the work and crash right. Or can keep flat and straight and fight the wind. Glad to see him get this disc! I need to get two more dayglos

Thanks for the info, We'll certainly be making more of the Nate Sexton C-LINE DDs.

DM picked me out a sweeeeeeet swirly S line PD2 that I've been crushing. I throw P2, MD3, FD, FD2, and PD2 a lot i wish I could throw my FD3, PD, and DD's more

You did, All is well! I'm reppin' DM all over the place, and got to hang out with Eric Oakley as he came through MN twice, played visionquest with him, rode the RV there! Y'all picked a good dude to tour and spread the brand.

Road tripped Des Moines Open as well! I'm full hype mode with discmania.

Thanks for the feedback on everything. We really appreciate it!

Hm, maybe we should recommend this when people call in to the store. Thanks for the insight :)

if something is on the top end of a mid range, I'll go up to the fairway driver to hit it at controlled power. I'm also a midrange lover also because of the control factor, usually because of the "fade control"

Never really considered bringing out the stable drivers for 150-225 OS lines, now I have another reason to play Acorn again :)

From my memory (before they re-did everything) The FD2 would have done me a lot of good there. Hole 2, 3, 6, 8, 15 and 17 would have been attacked with the FD2 for me :)

We will be working on getting them up as soon as we can, we're really sorry for the delay.

Only played the old layout twice and would have never considered playing there but the new layout with the new rose baskets is actually really nice, and would be down to play rounds there, depending on player traffic. Really nice upgrade.

Nice :)

Between PD for forehand, FD for backhand, and my maniacs, I'm throwing discmania a lot more often. Keep it up!

Thank you for the info and review. I can't say it enough, it's very very valuable to us!

Every power up the P2? We see Simon and Paul do it often... Especially at the Ledgestone.

Oh, the definition of a frolf punk is a one disc wonder, usually an IDye Wraith used for every shot including tomahawks on said 185' open shot, with a turbo putt to finish it off

That's a new one! Frolf punk :)

I normally do not spend too much time in this thread because as of a week ago I did not have any Discmania in my bag. However, I have rediscovered the C-Line FD and immediately put several in. However to that however, I am having trouble finding the exact color and weight I want. I have two big bags, a Lat Luxury and a Grip A14. I use the Grip for everyday rounds and league play, but when it is time for the bigger rounds and tournaments, I break out the Luxury. I have always thrown a mixed bag but in my Luxury I want them to fit in with my color scheme; all white and only if that is not an option it needs to be "water" blue. I want C-Line FDs, preferably 172ish.

I will ask more directly in the marketplace, but I am putting it out here in hopes of hearing that what I am looking for actually exists.

I believe, and have been told, that this is a 5th run. The camera did not do the color justice, so if I cannot find white, this is close to the secondary color I am looking for. I am hoping to find these FDs in white because I have not heard of Champion Thunderbirds being made in white (not throwing glow) and they sit next to the FDs in the bag.

https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5686/...f56050d1_c.jpg

That is indeed a 5th run, I don't know of many with that exact color. We can look around and if we find some we can have som more made.

I have a question, and i'm sorry if this was already answered. I recently found an old First Run s-line DD at my local play it again. Disc flies amazing but i noticed on the back of it the markings say *AW and i was wondering what that stood for and if the disc is valuable and shouldn't be thrown. I think regardless i'm going to throw it because it throws amazing. Just wondering about the markings. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

AW was originally Anhyzer Wraith. The top on most of our drivers is referred to as the "Anhyzer Top". We have found in our testing we can throw lower lines with higher power when we throw comparable discs. Maybe we need to put together a montage on different ways we can throw our discs. This anhyzer top could be why a lot of people consider us a "Pro Only" brand because it tends to make most of our discs very overstable.

Some people are very very picky about finding those exact DDs.

are all current production CPD2s made with blizzard tech?

every single CPD2 (cfr, stock stamp, etc.) in my stash have bubbles in the rim, is this from a specific run?

All of the current C-LINE PD2s have the bubbles in the rim. We have found that we can get more consistent results this way. About the Runs: you can usually tell the difference by two major things: Bubbles in the rim and the dome. Since all of yours have bubbles you would have 3rd, 4th, and 5th run C-LINE PD2s. The 3rd run has the pop top and very very overstable. The 4th and 5th run are both flat and have bubbles, the 5th run is harder to see the bubbles in the rim because it's a little more hazy looking. Hope that helps :)

I don't know about value, but I know that hardcore DD guys LOVE AW's.

Yeah, they do love them like crazy :)

they all have the same monster pop top as my Slines and have bubbles, 3rd run for sure in that case?

Kodachrome 09-11-2015 03:54 PM

Any idea if we can expect s and p line pd2 in the 165-170 range?

Kuori 09-12-2015 03:01 PM

Hey! I've been loving the Simon Lizotte signature swirly S-line FD3. Everything including the stamp is just amazing.

So could we be seeing Simon Lizotte Signature FD coming out in that sweet swirly S-line plastic anytime soon? It is the only thing I'm missing in my life right now.

DinosaurThunder 09-20-2015 08:41 AM

I saw that McPro Aviars were produced in green. Does that mean we could get some P2's in green? Green with a white stamp would be amazing for putting. :)

Jlee 09-20-2015 01:54 PM

Any word on where I can get some more pearly champystar first run s line pds? The nice meaty flat ones!

yes, take a look at our "Early Run S-LINE PD" on the Discmania Store. I think that's what you're looking for.

We have a swirly S-LINE FD out right now. But, since simon does not throw the S-LINE FD we haven't really considered it.

We will do our best to get some up for sale if we have some.

Yes, that would be the 3rd run for sure.

Um... 09-22-2015 01:00 AM

Why have G-line PD2s not been put into normal production? I've been lucky enough to get my hands on a couple and want more!!

(I'm guessing that they're going to be so awesome that DM is having to mass produce them to keep up with the demand. :p)

Paypal at the ready! :) I love my swirly green mini's you guys made for me. Would be a great combination of the two.

Can you hint at the possibility of a DM disc being in the USDGC players packs again?

fasteddie 09-23-2015 08:22 PM

what's the official ranking on the PD2 on the stability of flight between runs?

what is the most overstable run ever?

rallyguy 09-24-2015 12:22 AM

2nd run DD's...how do they fly compared to the other runs?

crater77 09-27-2015 01:40 PM

I LOVE my second run FD and feel like it's the perfect disc. Any chance there are more in the warehouse that you will release? Or will you ever produce more? I have the FD2 and love it as well but nothing compares to the 2nd run FD

Disc of Cheese 09-28-2015 02:18 PM

Jenga54 09-28-2015 03:30 PM

the next run of FD won't be a 2nd run...
I have a new pair of 2nd runs that I don't know what to do with...

Fisticuffs for them. I'd really be super interested too though

Straighter and not as wind resistant(Unless you find a 2nd run). The FD is like a Leopard on steroids imo. The FD is also incredibly long for a speed 7 fairway driver. The FD is very controllable for hyzers, straights shots, anhyzers. It's fantastic in the woods too. I've had an FD or three in my bag ever since they came out.

That sounds awesome! I got one on the way.

I like that description too!

brandocommando9 10-03-2015 04:25 PM

I would say well seasoned teebird with more lateral movement, reminds me more of a well seasoned eagle/ beefy leopard.

fasteddie 10-05-2015 07:56 PM

come on ryan, give us the diggs!

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

discmaniacs need something to look forward to!

Disc of Cheese 10-05-2015 09:57 PM

I just hope the next run of fds is more like the 3rd and 4th

I've only thrown fourth runs so far what's the difference between the fifth and fourth runs?

Fifth are closer to first runs in flight.

brandocommando9 10-06-2015 03:57 PM

I read that about the fifth runs but I just started throwing fd's and have never thrown a first run how does the compare to a fourth run hss,less wise?

fasteddie 10-06-2015 04:15 PM

while there are nuances between runs, I think plastic is a bigger factor. For simplicity sake (anyone feel free to correct me)

DFD
most understable of any of the plastics. Great for standstill shots/low power hyzer flips/rollers/shot that definitely need to end right. Biggest advantage is how little power it needs to start flying (very useful) FLIPPY

SFD
very neutral flight, imagine if a leopard and a Tl had a baby. Great for long straight fairway drives/hyzer flips/ LOOOONG anhyzer/standstill shots. Can definitely handle more power than the DFD but again doesn't take much to get this disc going. NEUTRAL

CFD
I am least knowlegable about the 1/3/4/5/6 run FDs, from what I understand they all teeter around the -1,+1 flight path some being a hair more stable some being a hair less. STABLE


2nd run CFD
the holy grail for those who fell in love with them, it's an FD that flys like a teebird. random happenstance and while great for mold consolidation (not to mention **** perfect flight) they are limited and alot have been bought up and hoarded. flat,stiff,pearly goodness. OVERSTABLE

long story short

Um... 10-06-2015 08:32 PM

Hmm... wonder who's been doing that??


(paging fasteddie and OB Four :p)

Here's my personal ratings for all of the FD's from the FD thread:

2nd run C-Line (pretty much no high speed turn; strong forward fade; I'd rate it 0 HSS, 2 LSS)
3rd/4th run C-Line (some high speed turn; good forward fade; -.75 HSS, 1.5 LSS)
S-Line (starts out as a straight shooter, but will beat into being less stable. second closest to the flight #'s after it's been beaten in a little imo; -1 HSS, 1.25 LSS)
1st run C-Line (closest to the actual flight ratings of any FD imo; -1 HSS, 1 LSS)
5th run C-line (about the same as the 1st run. Stiffer JL plastic; -1 HSS, 1 LSS)
G-Line (predictable high speed turn and a lot of glide; less low speed fade; definitely more understable for bigger arms; hyzer flip machine; -1.25 HSS, 1 LSS)
Lady Line (definitely understable; beat in quickly; -1.5 HSS, .5 LSS)
D-Line (flip city!! I've spent a little more time with these and they're still super understable out of the box; beat in super fast; great beginner & roller disc; -2.5 HSS, .5 LSS)

Flick Maniac 10-07-2015 02:54 AM

As someone who has never thrown a 2nd run FD (thinking that as I am not a power thrower, it would be too overstable for my use, especially if I think FD as a straight mold), what would be the difference between a 2nd run FD and, say, a C-PD (just a C-PD, no need to go into run details. I know the 1st run is the most OS)? Other than the rim width.

Just as well, they are so hoarded that I might do best keeping my distance to them. Dont want to urge for something else that is hard to find.

fasteddie 10-07-2015 08:03 AM

2nd run FD just flys like teebird/banshee (depending on the thrower)

basically a shorter PD.

even at light weights these things are stable as hell.

DinosaurThunder 10-07-2015 08:10 AM

FD's in terms of HSS (least to most)

-third run

-fourth run

-5th run

-third run pearly

-First run (especially pop tops!)

-Second run

(paging fasteddie and OB Four :p)

I want to propose that OB four and I include each other in our wills so in the event of a catastrophe one or the other will assume protective rights over the largest combined hoard of 2nd run FDs :P

DinosaurThunder 10-07-2015 08:19 AM

People on FB are going nuts over second run FD's again. I am seeing 25-30 being spent on one! Sit on those stashes for a lot longer :)

fasteddie 10-07-2015 08:22 AM

will do!
(don't have facebook so I don't know the current demand for discs)

if I didn't have/throw them I would probably just throw a teebird/fd2/insert stable fairway.

vogurt 10-07-2015 11:28 AM

Just wanted to say it's amazing to throw and rep such a revolutionizing company that knows what they're doing.

This Disc Golf World tour news is fantastic! Jussi is the man. He has the vision for our sport

crater77 10-10-2015 10:34 PM

Finally got a CD2 in my hands. Reminds me of the innova thunderbird. Any one else like this comparison? I was afraid it would be overlap with my beloved PD's but it seems to turn more and hold an anny line better as well. What are your thoughts on this mold?

crater77 10-10-2015 10:36 PM

Btw I now carry only discmania drivers and couldn't be happier! Loving this c-line and p-line plastic!

Must be the CD2 you have, I threw c and s-line pd vs c-cd2. I agree they aren't as dumpy at the end of the flight as a pd but they are possibly more HSs. 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.
