It gets kind of lonely being the only one around here using rubbers.
being lonely is the purpose of using rubbers :thmbup:

Hey Mr. Dodge, do you guys still do custom colors for discs? How many would one have to buy to get something like that?
The other day I went to my local shop to pick up a new disc. They don't carry Vibram but started telling me about the upcoming Birdie Bash and how they want to start selling Vibram but don't know much about it. They seemed to not remember me asking them a half dozen times if they were going to carry rubber. So I grabbed my bag out of the car and showed them every mold like I was selling Cutco knives. They had seriously never even seen a vibram and they get all the lost discs from the local courses. It gets kind of lonely being the only one around here using rubbers.

We don't and there are no plans to bring this program back. I loved seeing those sets of discs though.
Let me know the store. I will give them a call and see if we can get the discs in there!
My son just scored himself a brand new pair of Moabs at our local thrift shop for $7. They've never been worn and were his exact size. Now he's got his VBB discs and his new kicks and is itching to get a round in before the rain hits.

Played my first round with a Trak and 2nd with an Ibex. I've been putting with Summits for a couple of years but lately I got an itch to try the other stuff out (VBB had a hand in this).
The Trak is a really solid all-around driver. Good line-shaper, decent range. Reminds me of a premium plastic Leopard or Gazelle, maybe a bit faster.
The Ibex (firm) is interesting. It's like a touchy Buzzz or Core. Loves going straight, doesn't love extreme left or right C-shaped lines. Nearly got an ace with it today (hit the tray) and some other flirty runs so it definitely wants to stay in the bag. Cannot FH this thing to save my life though.
The thing that kind of sticks out to me about these is that they love to be thrown clean and hard, demands it really. Otherwise, they're easy to OAT and float like cement. Kind of a double-edged sword and I noticed that there was no real middle ground with these disc for the people I played the VBB with. People either hated them (b/c they had bad form) or fairly receptive (could throw a bit).
My form is pretty bad, and I couldn't disagree more about your take on the Ibex especially. It goes straight down the fairway every time I throw it, whether I throw it hard or not.
I really don't understand Vibram's flight ratings. If I were looking for a stable/overstable driver at about 290-320 ft range, what disc would I be going for? And does the rubber compound affect what weights I should be throwing? I generally enjoy 165-168 range for drivers.
