Discmania splits with Innova

[gammaxgoblin]

Could the Italians please produce a dog toy my Doberman cannot destroy?

I'm sure there are many dog toys that your dog cannot destroy, ones made of Kevlar and the like. The problem becomes that the dog loses interest or finds indestructible toys unfun lol. You could give your dog a splice of a firehose, he will have a very hard time destroying it...if he engages with it at all.

Lions, Chimps and Bears can't destroy this toy. I have one that is going on it's third Lab.

What you did there. Gets me squinty-eye looks from my kids (and wife).

I like the sound of the Italian blend.

Oregano flake C-PD please.

The "Italian Blend" reminds me of the "Corinthian" leather from the old Chrysler commercials;

You can tell Discmania is a marketing company at it's core with the whole "Italian Plastic" deal.

Does the company drill for oil in Italy and then control the entire refining process to make their plastic pellets?

Yeah, kind of a funny marketing way to put it. it's more like Italy is the Mexico of Europe so the closest least expensive place to have material made and shipped from. Probably Russian oil though.

I thought the point about disc golf needing to go away from plastic was interesting. A good follow up would have been: Does Discmania consider it worth the investment to be a player pushing it that way?

What about the one player sponsored by both?
WC Avery Jenkins

Was interesting he wore all black round 1 and logo-less.

Flashing on that aluminum driver will leave a permanent mark.

Maybe we could use other materials like rubber?

Yeah. Rubber, that could work!

Yeah. Rubber, that could work!

Sounds like that may be coming back...

I'm hoping for the yellow octagon!


wait...Vibram is an Italian company. Fine Italian Plastic (maybe a mis-translation)?

A non-brittle carbon-based material?

I'm always suspicious when anyone, especially DM, talks about "improving" molds.
Look what they did with the MD2, and the FD2, and the later run PD, and the P3…
They hit the jackpot on the improved CD, and the 2nd PD, and I'm glad they dumped the S-Line Proto FD2, but most of the other improvements were better off left alone.
