    Starting Disc Golf Club for Middle School...

    Next year at the middle school where I teach 7th grade Math we are starting various clubs (to be held during the school day) geared towards student's interest or that introduce students to areas/sports/topics they've never had the opportunity to explore before. So two other teachers and I are...

    [Mids] Longer Mirage

    My Star Mirage is my favorite disc (being a RHBH only player)...depending on the length you're looking for the Underworld is awesome. I currently have a VIP and it's my workhorse when I need a right turning fairway driver...definitely close to the Mirage flight. If you want longer my Fury does...

    [Westside] Westside tursas

    Completely agree...I have found only 2, both with -?/0 flight ratings - the Mirage (the disc I have the most confidence in when I need to get the disc right next to the target) and the Fuse (which isn't perfect, but better than it was). TripleB

    [Westside] Westside tursas

    Being a RHBH only player I rely on my disc to turn right for me and hold that line until the end. The Tursas just didn't to that....it would always come back to center for me. I just ordered a Theory hoping it will head right and stay heading right....if not I'll go back to my Fuse or else...

    Definitely didn't want to hear that! Love my Opto Pure for approaches. It will probably never leave my bag....between it and the Mirage I feel like I've got every approach shot covered. But can't stand putting with it. Feels so thin that the grip feels strange, making me get the nose up at...

    [MVP] Atom

    Awesome! I hated the Swan 1 Reborn when I first got it because it seemed so floppy compared to my DX Aviar. But today it seemed to head straight to the center of the target every time and if it touched the chains it stuck like flypaper. The specs on the Atoms and the Swan (1 Reborn) are...

    [Compare] Deputy vs. Swan (2)

    Infinite shows -2.5/0 but if you pull up a picture of the disc, the disc shows -1/0 like mine does. At DGC both their numbers and pictures show -2.5/0. Thanks for the input...really loved the Swan 1 Reborn today. TripleB

    [Westside] Westside tursas

    It didn't :\ I haven't roughed it up throwing it into trees or anything yet, but for me it's a straight flyer. I'm not sure if I got an odd ball more stable than it should be disc, or my arm speed just isn't fast enough for me, or I should have ordered lighter, or what...but it turns to the...

    [MVP] Atom

    I was sure I wanted the Atom in Proton plastic until I took my Westside Swan 1 Reborn BT Soft out today and putted incredibly well with it...and the floppy plastic actually felt really good in the hand (especially compared to the Lucid Judge and the DX Aviar I was comparing it with). For those...

    [Compare] Deputy vs. Swan (2)

    Hate to bring up a dead thread, but I was putting with my Westside BT Soft Swan 1 Reborn...knew I was going to hate it because I can't stand floppy plastics. What do you know, I started putting lights out with it. I go to check the specs and what's currently available that is extremely similar...

    [MVP] MVP Anode Putter

    It's a tough call. The two winners in my putt offs were the Judge and the Pure. If had to pick one it would probably be the Judge...the thinness of the Pure had me getting a little too wristy with some of my putts. Looking at just the numbers the Atom falls squarely in between these two disc...

    [MVP] MVP Anode Putter

    After a two day (2.5 hour) putt off it was funny that my two favorite putters turned out to be the same plastic and the same weight, but entirely different types of putters. The Pure with no bead, on the thinner side, and the Judge with a bead and more of an Aviar type thickness - Opto in one...

    [Drivers] Long Distance "Gold Standard" Disc?

    I won't say it's as overstable as my Trespass (hard to tell since one is a speed 12, one is a speed 9, one is 166g, and one is 160g), but for my arm speed I get the most distance from the Escape when I do release it on a bit of an anhyzer. TripleB

    [Drivers] Long Distance "Gold Standard" Disc?

    Funny, my longest flying disc, even with my wimpy 50 year old arm, is a 12/5/-1/3 Trespass. The only thing I would change about it is the plastic (the Fuzion just doesn't feel like my VIP/Lucid/Opto...it's a little too flexy for my taste) and maybe the weight. I agree, both the Escape and...

    [MVP] Atom

    I agree, and that's what I looked at first...the only thing that keeps it from being everything I'm looking for is the fact it isn't available in Lucid, or an equivalent premium plasic...or not that I'm aware of. And comparing my Classic Blend Judge beside my Lucid Judge last night made it...
