I suspect the Merrell Trail Glove will steal a lot of business away from the VFF's. I just picked up a pair and it's essentially the same design without the goofy individual toe pockets. I can't comment on durability yet since they're almost brand new...

A lot of my attraction comes from people who have ridden themselves of knee pain and other injuries, so it's not so much about disc golf specifically for me. It's just interesting to think how much research and technology is put into shoes these days and yet injuries continue to rise...

That's me also. When I tried them on, my pinky toe would fall out of its' spot, which was an obvious blister waiting to happen. Sounds like our type of foot isn't all that uncommon, so I'm sure Vibram will hear the $$ calling if they can come up with a new model to accomodate the rest of us.

No, second toe is longer than the big toe. I've heard many others have the same issue and there was talk that Vibram would eventually address the issue somehow.

They suck because they don't fit my weird feet. Vibram should make a custom version.

Threw mine today for a short while and my initial impressions would place it between a Drone and Buzzz. The first half of the flight starts out straight and Buzzz-like, but a consistent fade begins about half way. It has more glide and therefore more distance than the Drone, I was getting...

Try a Pro Wraith, but stay at a similar weight as your Sidewinder.

Occasionally, I'll use something overstable (like a Drone) in that situation when I need to count on extra fade to make it into the basket.

What exactly are you going to be doing... demo'ing? Are details posted anywhere?

I like most of DGA's stuff..... http://www.discgolfassoc.com/equipment/apparel/shirts-polos-hoodies.html ..but I guess that really doesn't answer the question, does it? :\ I wouldn't mind finding some quality DG designs on a sports/wicking type material shirt. The ones I've seen I haven't...

My ESP was more overstable and shorter than my Z. I usually prefer ESP, but I think I like the Z in this case because I got a nice gummy one.

I like the ESP better than the Z also, I think it's a little less stable, but it seems more workable to me. The only ones I ever see are the ones on ebay, there's the white prototype and the black PDGA version.

Rhyno's great and so is the VP. The Ringer is also really nice, very thin profile and good stability. I usually stick with the Rhyno since it's always in my bag anyway.

Vibram VP and the MVP Ion are my 2 favorites right now. I throw an Echo Star Dart, but I don't like to putt with it.

Yep, definitely a big improvement for me. I was never into "soft" discs so I'm enjoying the medium more, although the soft Ion was one of the best soft discs I've ever used. The slight bit of extra stability is noticable and something I was hoping for also.
