Thank you for the interesting insight. We will keep that in mind for social media posts. We might have to start sharing pictures of the X-OUTS for you guys.

I agree with that! I love throwing unique x-out discs and would pick them up more frequently with a few teasers thrown out there :)

Thanks for the info!

A few ideas...

Realistic Ideas:
MF MD3's and FD's! Black P-line P2's with a EO stamp would be awesome too!

Long Shot Ideas:
a special run s-line FD2 or G-line DD

Thank you for taking the time to respond! Glad to see your team made it through the VRoc madness!

Just barely made it through, Thanks for the ideas of what you would like to see for the future fundraiser discs.

P1x are restocked!

Same here on the P1xs, particularly in X-line. I need to grab a stack of them for practice putting.

We will be getting them back in stock as soon as possible.

We will keep that in mind. Have you tried our flatter MD3?

The newest run of the Glow MD3 is even more overstable. They are up on the Discmania Store now.

What is your weight?

Do you think they are more overstable than the glow PD?

Other than one PD that was ganked out of the fairway by some jerk, I haven't had to put in a new disc out of my back ups in over two seasons.

(not including the ones in my bag)

5x first run c

4x 6th run JL c

10x Freak Stamp s

and a handful of g line and p line.....

But think that the molds that I suggested being run in MF as the euro open discs would be hot sellers.

interesting. Thanks for the information.

Interesting. well at least one of those are coming for sure :)

You guys would make a killing with some of those discs

Flat MF C-P2

And some special Metal Flake discs too

Thanks for the information. Might see those one day.

There's always a chance for more of those in the future.

Yes you will see this slot filled.

Working on it. We want it to be perfect before we release it.

Your shipping is really pricey. Even the Innova Factory store (which is very expensive too) gives you the over $80 free shipping which is a nice incentive to grab a stack of discs rather than 1 or 2. It's just harsh to pay MSRP for your discs (when I can get some of them for less at other online stores and get free shipping) and then pay through the nose for shipping too.

I'm not going to stop buying from you because of it, but I personally always buy at least $80 worth of discs from Innova for the free shipping and I would do the same at your store. Think about it!

Thank you for the insight. We offer the free shipping periodically throughout the year. We don't offer it at the moment all the time but we have heard your opinion.

Unfortunately I honestly don't know about this subject. I work on our discs, sorry :)

Thanks for the request. We like having all the requests, it really lets us know what you guys want.

We'll consider it for sure.

I can spent my hard earned money anywhere I like and I keep coming back to the same place. I would however like to see a shipping break if you spend over $80 in one shot as would others. Keep up the great work down there and I will keep sending you the cash I earn up here!

Thanks for the kind words. We try to ship out first runs and fundraiser discs bagged. Thanks for the insight on the shipping too.

Very true. The Flat runs came out really straight much like the first run Roc3s

We are working on that slot. Hopefully we will have something for you guys sooner than later.

I'm a fellow discmaniac and these are some suggestions/observations/stream of consciousness thought barf

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED! (including that there will always be a *slight* variation between runs, there are already variations of runs/plastics to cover *most slots*)

Compared to the distance and fairway line ups, the mids are a mess.

the name of the game is consistency..

all MD3s should be overstable.

all MD2s should be stable.

all MD1s(after the possible retool) should fly understable.

these three flight paths plus the GM as a tweener/utility beefcake MD4** would be a complete midrange line up that rivals the competitors.

there is barely any distinction between the MD1/MD2/MD3 at least not enough to cover all bag slots (truly overstable/truly understable). They are all stable/straight to fade flyers

Please don't just start shoehorning mold after mold into the line up.

If discmania could offer a complete range of mid flight paths from understable to overstable (md1/md2/md3/md4**) keeping simplicity (number of molds) and consistency paramount (they fly like they should), they would be ahead of the game.

I love how discmania has kept a close eye on variations and made it a point to know the subtleties of flight paths. Being proactive and vocal as to which ones you're buying has seriously separated them from the competition (for the better) in my eyes..

BUT!

wouldn't it be easier if all MD3s flew like MD3s?

Very good points. The variation between the the MD2 and MD3 right now is that one is flatter and faster and the other one has a bit of a dome. We are working on making our disc line up perfect. Thank you for taking the time to write out your thoughts for us.

Thank you, We will consider it for sure.

Thanks for your thoughts. Have you tried our flat C-LINE MD3s? They are very straight but can still handle the power the same way the older MD2s did.

Quote:

I believe the MD3s are overstable, but i've been wrong before.

Interesting. The GM seems to have a pretty good following.

i thought the glow MD3's were actually beefy? the opaque cmd2's started out with solid fade but i wouldn't call them beefy. i guess i need to buy one to see for myself.

i also would be ecstatic if they brought back the gummier plastic for CMD2's, if that means glow plastic whatever. im just overall not a huge fan of the hard slick plastic for my mids; that's why i'm hoarding the opaque gummies.

Interesting. Thanks for the insight.

thats what people keep saying but the two glow md3s i have are indentical, slightly power hungry maybe but straight with moderate fade. forehand given a good snap they are surprisingly long and super straight.

maybe my md2 was a freak? dunno, anyways IMO these were the perfect replacement to when I lost it

The glow C-LINE MD3s are really good. Simon Lizotte is using the new domey Glow C-MD3.

Interesting idea.

they're saying the new run of JL's are more like the originals so I'll have to check those out but I still would rather have a softer plastic for my mids.

Have you tried the newer run of the C-LINE MD2?

We have G-LINE FDs.

True.

We should have more of these when we get our x-out stock updated.

Do you guys not produce a lot of lighter weight C line plastic? It seems like 170-171 is the lightest I usually find online, even at the Discmania store. Do the lighter weights not mold up how you want them? Just curious as to how that decision gets made.

Cliff notes: I'd love to find a 167g 3rd run or later C FD and C CD2 :D

At the moment all of the lighter C-LINE FDs we have are the hard pearly 2nd run. Which I believe is not what you're looking for.

We will take a look at the CD2 situation and get them if they are available.

I'd love a non blizzard DD2 or even a PD2 that light

I believe we have some of the PD2s available right now. they are either mini shield stamped and stock stamped.

Interesting. Maybe we will have to take a trip over there and see if they have any left.

Yes, agreed. Since it's not my place to speak on that part of the operation, I'll just say it's something they're aware of. :)

I've had some of the same issues in switching over from the Roc/Roc3/Shark3 combo I was using, but thanks to the tireless efforts of the legendary Ryan Rintala I've got a good set together now.

Glow C-MD3's are overstable
new run C-MD3's (more dome) are stable
flat C-MD2's are drifty with some fade
flat gummy JL MD3's are point-and-shoot line holders

Hope this helps for now.

Thanks for the kind words. We try to help out anyone that calls in too. Anybody out there please feel free to call the store and we will try to help you with what you're looking for.

The new glow MD3s have moderate dome. It's the most overstable mid we have right now.

First run FDs fly straight with high glide and 2nd runs fly straight with extra high speed stability and harder fade.

Second runs are flat and pearly (have bubbles in the rim). This disc is very stable/straight with a fade at the end of flight. This disc holds up to power well and will beat in very straight. I would say this flies slightly farther than the first runs.

Third runs flight is right in the middle of the first and second runs. I have heard this run gives the best of both worlds as far as flight goes.

Thanks

I just got a D and X P1x, after putting with Ions last year. I liked them without the wind I was crusing from 25 ft in the garage all night, but with wind I was hoping for a little more fade.

I'm wondering If a P2 would be similar to my Ion? I don't like that I'm putting with Neutron plastic, very slick. And I would imagine a P2 with a medium bead would be even a tick more OS so I don't want to buy a P2 if P2x's will be a thing soon!!

Thanks

P2x will not be coming that soon. When we tested them the P2 was more overstable. But then again that was a C-LINE P2.

thanks, unfortunately they are all heavy at the moment. The glow C-LINE FDs are actually one of the more understable versions of the FD

Thanks, we really love the P2 it really gets the job done.

Whew! finally caught up, thanks for all of the comments and questions guys! It's great to hear from all of the current and future Discmaniacs!
