Bagels don't do much for me. I'm pretty low-carb these days so I don't eat a lot of bread heavy foods much unless it might be really good, like the only good pizza place within an hour of me.
NC Piedmont is quite bad for NYC pizza also.

I fully support pepperoni and pineapple pizza. In fact, I just ordered one.
Thanks, DGCR!

I order thin crust, with pineapple and onion. I always keep tins of kippers or sardines in the cabinet. I throw that on. It's like a sweeter version of pizza from the Adriatic.

Which is why I picked Discraft when i started. 4 numbers didnt understand, one number great. All of my friends that day were picking cool animal stamps and i thought the numbers would give me an advantage. Which is how i ended up with an X-Clone and OAT.
Yeah, just in a weird way Innova's naming "feels" right - now that completely may be a function of them being the biggest and OG beveled edge company...
...but at the same time the irony is that Dynamic clearly does have a system, it just takes some thought, it doesn't come immediately.
"Lucid" plastic actually is a great moniker based on the definition of the word, but its connotations make my brain go other places and it doesn't connect.
Same with "BioFuzion" - Ok "fusing" and "biology" - I guess I can eventually get "recycled plastic" out of that - but it's just not the first things my brain puts together.
File this under "technically correct, but not as marketable".
Marketing is a fickle thing - I understand "Champion" and "Star" plastic connotations in relation to sports performance better than the concepts that use dictionary definitions.
Jamie, I am with you, but I honestly think that is something in OUR head. Our disc knowledge space is getting full. Because you are right that I seem to have no problem with most of Innova & Discraft's lineup.
But if you think about it, Star & Champion don't really MEAN anything. You wouldn't know which was better by just hearing it.
We are just set in our ways, old men.

Literally any Kroger? As opposed to illiterately?
I don't shop at Kroger, it creeps me out.

Exactly, especially when they have a Pro plastic, that isn't the best? And then throw in DX, XT and then Gstar? Talk about a curve ball lol
Dynamic makes just as much sense or not as the others I suppose... but at least they have a naming scheme that they've stuck to.
Caveat again that we're all biased in terms of familiarity by how the market was born and how it evolved, but I can make sense of Pro, Champion, Star in connection with the price points. I just think about people.

He's supposed to be coming out with some kind of training tool that automatically adds the training lines to show if you're in the correct position in different phases of your throw. Something like that, he's been alluding to it on Instagram for a little bit. Maybe he'll be joining on disc golf instruction with Will.

Mind blown, I've never thought in context of your last sentence! That makes sense (in a way
)But I think it's more, allot of that have played disc golf since it was only Discraft and innova, and ever since, no matter what new company Comes out you still reference what their plastic is compared to innovas star champion dx lineup.
It's not that hard, people. I know Innova/Discmania, Discraft and a little DGA, MVP/Axiom and am slightly familiar with others. I've been playing almost 3 years and took an interest in some of their discs. If I took an interest in Trilogy, Legacy etc, it wouldn't take long to figure out the basics of their plastic and molds.
Late breaking news from Legacy on Facebook.

So, here is where MVP gets their next pro. I hate this for Legacy, she was the only 'name' they had left. I like the company even though I throw none of their discs.
Now let's see if Goodpasture leaves as well.

Any idea where she is going? Maybe Discraft since Val is not playing as much anymore?
