[Discraft] Discraft Reaper

[thatdirtykid]

I have a mint reaper identical to this what would be a fair price?

50-70. Would have been more 2 years ago...

PooPS is making me wait til Monday to get my Reaper... Jerks.

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

So, I got my package finally, and they sent me a Talon instead of a Reaper. I contacted the guys at the factory store, and they are sending me a Reaper and letting me keep the Talon as compensation for the inconvenience. Good to know they take care of their customers. Also, free Talon!

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

Uh oh!

 

[Brodysseus]

Let us know how it flies ASAP.

 

[Moose33]

That's tight. I kinda want one.

Well, after spending a little time throwing the Reaper, I must say, it is just like the Reapers I used to throw. You can really lean on this thing. The harder you throw it, the straighter it rips. Power it down, you are on a one way trip to Fadetown with no round trip availible. It fights out of steep annys just like the ones I was raised on, but it does seem less overstable than the ones I remember. It does have a low PLH, that plays a factor I am sure. Maybe my form/power has just come a long way since then hahahahaha. The Big Z plastic is much grippier than the slick Elite Zs I was used to. The disc itself is tabletop flat with a fairly prominent shoulder, not unlike the Big Z Talon I acquired. Both have found their way into my bag for the foreseeable future. They both slot in between my Opto XXX and my thrashed 11x Champ TeeBird quite nicely. On the Innova scale, I would put the Reaper at 8/4/0/3.5 and I would put the Talon at 8/4/0/2.5. If you have fond memories of either of these molds, jump on them. Worth it, especially considering they might not ever make it back to full production.

That's a badass frickin' stamp.

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

Agreed. On the website, it looked kind of cutesy, but that was just a bad pic hahahahaha. It looks mean from the right angles. Still doesn't feel real to be throwing a Reaper and Talon again. Flashbacks, man.

 

[Kodachrome]

I'm gonna buy my bestie one for his bday. Dude throws all forehand, loves the pd but his first true love was a beat to **** reaper we found at acorn.

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

He will not be disappointed, I can assure you of that. Reapers and forehands are synonymous.

 

[Kodachrome]

Yeah, he was a tennis player.

Here is a profile shot of the Reaper.

And a profile shot of the Talon.

Here is the Talon's stamp as well.

I am going to try to buy one of the Reapers. I had a Z talon in hand a PIAS last week but found its rim was cracked.

 

[armiller]

Very nice and purdy. Other than the $$$, I'm hesitant to buy these just because I'm worried I might be disappointed. I had some good times with my X Talon and Z Reaper. I even have video footage of throwing that Talon into a lake. I swam and swam, but it was nowhere to be found! Dang Oklahoma mud...

Yeah I LOVE those stamps.

I had a 163 reaper that I loved. Wish the new one came in the lighter weight I like. I hope that they run the storm and x2 as well they will get bought no matter the weight just to have them again.
