Comet love?

[Stable]

I hope to see ESP Comets in regular production more. I had a flat heavy one years ago that was incredible.

The same amount of release angle on a similarly beat Cobra will not hold the "flat" part of that flight but rather will keep turning more...and fade more at the end. Less glide than the Comet but they are also faster so distance is negligible. Cobra is also the superior roller disc IMO

I bag both in a large bag, but recently with my Spider Monkey I've only been bringing Comets - they're still a relatively new mold to me (year or so?). I can manipulate both molds to give me similar results but the way they reach their landing zones are unique to one another.

I started throwing Cobras when all there was were San Marino molds.
I can do things with Cobras that these Comets won't do. But I'm not sure if the difference is the DX Cobra vs the Z Comets which feels like Innova Champ plastic.
I know almost nothing about Discraft plastic.

Got any of those stupid Ontario molds without ink?


Sorry Comet whores, priorities and all...

I'm looking to get a 165g X-line Comet to get better and learn a clean release. What kind of distance can I expect if thrown correctly?

It won't ne a certain distance. It should be a clean fairly straight flight with very little to no wobble in the flight. I need to break mine back out and give it some field time.

yes I do.

My Comets were fun. (On topic part of post)

Comets were money today at a tournament. Officially kicking my buzzz out of the bag. I think I can cover all mid range shots with a wasp, glo comet and beat up x comet.

I thought that since it was a fairly light Comet in a fairly understable plastic, the distance potential would be less than, say, if I got a heavier Comet in a Glo Z plastic.

I'm not looking for distance out of it since I am going for a diagnostic disc and to fix my form. But I was thinking of using the distance that I can get with it as a gauge of how well I am throwing.

If I good player can get a certain distance with it thrown flat without any OAT, and someday I can get the same distance with it thrown flat, I must be throwing it well.

That is just my theory and I might be wrong.

So I threw my Z Comet back in the bag recently. I'm determined to learn how to throw it. My form is crap, and I might as well work on it a bit over the winter. What's better than a Comet.

Anyway, I birdied a hole that I've only birdied once ever with a 120 footish throw in the other day. 50 percent power and it just floated ever so gently and landed like a feather in the chains.

Followed it up today with 60 ft or so "putt" after missing a mando. To save par.

What an idiot I am for not throwing this sooner. It's a thing of beauty.

Hey stability check haha also too lazy to go back right now and search the thread... got some birthday bucks.. Going for some cosmic relays and 2020 MJ tour series swirl Z... I'm going to get the 175 for sure... all that's left is 180's so how beefy are those suckers? I seem to remember reading they were more stable runs..

Opinions? Time is a factor haha
