    [Innova] Nova vs. Dart

    The Dart was designed for R-Pro plastic and that was the first plastic it was released in. I loved the Dart when it came out, but when they made it in DX it was way too domey and flew different. The Dart is basically the modern XD. The XD+ is not quite the same as well, but the old XD mold is...

    [Other] The Reptilian Disc Golf Thread

    The Gila is basically a Roc, so you would probably want a thin beaded putter. Something like a Classic Roc, XD, Infinite Cohort, Gateway Chief, or if you can live with beadless, just go with thin shallow putters like Zones. If you got a Fossil Gila, and it's the plastic you like more, get a...

    [Innova] Rhyno X

    A different mold piece is used for the "3" series for a flatter top (also a different mold). A Flat Top Roc has been made using the old mold then fed into a flattening machine (actually a full color printer without ink, which used to be the Ching machines that they were using a long time ago to...

    [Other] Popular discs you just don’t like

    I did that sanding once for a Q Sentinel and I don't really want to do that kind of sanding again. The Wasp I will just use for comparison photographs and then put it back in a box. It's the only one I own. I avoided Discraft for several years after encountering said flashing on multiple molds...

    [Other] Popular discs you just don’t like

    I think we need to see pictures of things "too beat" after 4 or 5 rounds. I honestly like the Trilogy plastic, but the Pure is one of the very few Trilogy molds that has ever interested me.

    Comet. Wasp (Just picked up one again, and there's a lot of flashing where the top and bottom parts of the mold fit - which reminded me why I never threw the Wasp and why I avoided Discraft for so long - the flashing on the Wasp cuts my hand). Luna/Roach (too round) Magnet/Clutch (rim too gross)...

    [Gateway] Gateway Wizard

    So I can actually explain this one. They were going through a phase of trying out new blends and I loved some of these Special Blend runs. But the general concept was that since they already had the normal "S" plastic, then all the other things like Eraser, Money ($), Organic, and all the other...

    [Putters] Infinite Discs Cohort

    The D Blend domed up ridiculously but the glide is insane. I however, assure you that it is the old mold XD - I asked one of the Infinite employees and that is what it is. R blend is flat and normal. If you only have the D, that might be why. I'd put the D Blend at 3.5 6 0 0 too. R Blend is...

    [Putters] Infinite Discs Cohort

    It's the old mold XD. Loving it back in the bag (I removed the XD when it was too hard to find more of them). Friend of mine loves it too - it's just as good as it was back in the day - your super straight glidey P/A for 200' touch shots and in. The D Blend has dome on it, but glides sooooo far...
