Ugh. This thread makes me sad. Anyone have any tips on how to best practice if you're completely incompetent? :(

I use the Wizard but so far I prefer the Wasp/Buzzz to the Roc. Actually I prefer the Goblin to the Roc as well ;)

And to think I'm happy that I'm consistently getting accurate distance at 275' now...which is also close to my max. I'm working on it.

I wonder what the retarded reasoning behind that is.

Under 700 feet for the destroyer? Does that mean that the XS, TeeBird and Valkyrie are still the only discs (that I know of) to 'officially' go over 700 feet?

I'm the only person I know who uses an XS nowadays. It's the only driver I keep in my bag (I'm very minimalist) other than a 141 gram beat-to-shit Cheetah for rollers.

Just to reply to myself: the Buzzz so far seems to be doing what I wanted out of a Skeeter. It flies straight and just a bit more overstable than the Goblin but I can get it out longer than I'm comfortable with the Goblin. I've only done a quick bit of practice so far but it was working for most...

Thanks for the info. I only got into this sport in '05, so I've missed a lot of the history of it. I'd love for their to be a comprehensive history of molds/manufacturers and stuff like that. Hell, I'd even write it if I can get the materials. I'm a professional historian ;) As for lightning, I...

Why did they stop making new molds?

I was in Play It Again Sports and they had Elite-X Buzzzes for $7.99 so I picked one of those up to play around with. I'll hold off on trying the Skeeter. I'll probably still pick one up eventually, since the Goblin is the one disc I can get to do exactly what I want it to, but I like the feel...

Has anyone ever gone to a tournament just to watch? What's it like? The Atlanta Open is this weekend and it's taking up two of the major courses in the area so I was thinking about going to watch the pros both days or maybe just camp out at East Roswell. Is it frowned upon? Does anyone care...

Any of the big boys like Sherdog or MMAWeekly?

I like the feel of Star plastic (and it's equivalents from other manufacturers) better than the Champion, but I'm against it on general principle. It's cheaper to manufacture than the Champion plastic, yet they charge more for it. I'm sure I'll get a star something-or-other some day, but I'm not...

172 and 165? A 7 gram spread is tiny. 7 grams is a fifth of an ounce. They'll likely be functionally identical. If you want them to act at all different, go max weight and 150 or something.
