[Discraft] Discrafts misprint deal is awesome

[skinner21]

This is why I haven't done this deal. Although that is a very nice selection, only one of those discs would be a keeper (CryZtal Buzzz) because none of the weights on the other discs match what I throw. Getting all those nice discs in all the wrong weights would be such a let-down. Not sure if I'm pickier than others, but I only throw max weight for mids and 169-171 for drivers.

I would say that you are definatly more picky than most. I think that knowing what you want is a good thing, but that it sometimes put you in a box that really limits your options. If you throw only those weights and have never tried anything else (or have not tried for a long time) I would suggest expanding your horizons. If you are dead set against it, then this package isn't for you. Even if you split it you may be screwing over the other person with all of the putters while you take the drivers or visa versa.

the 2006 ace race disc is a meteor

i dont mind the variation in weight, gives me a chance to see how i like throwing in weights i usually use and some i dont. for essentially 7 dollars a disc, worst case scenario i have 10 nice discs to trade/play for...and it was definitely worth the excitement of opening a box of 10 brand new mystery discs

I like your ace race 2006 mine had black stamp.

after throwing some of my discs I recived earlier this week on field and on course this was a great deal.

gave me chance to try lower weights and a wide variety discraft discs and other are getting dyed as gifts for my friends.
thanks to this thread!!

last year discraft had sale by christmas...would this maybe include misprint deal? that would be awesome.

Thanks Tbird. What plastic is the tracker in? I'll have all the discs I get posted in this thread when the come (hopefully sooner than later) and maybe we can work something out.

And can someone tell me what crystal means?

On a side note, I made my order late last night before going to bed. I had a dream that my package came the very same day I ordered it. I was estatic, but a little bummed in the morning when I realized it was a dream.

The Tracker is an ESP. CryZtal is a tournament-only blend of plastic very much like Elite-Z but crystal clear. Don't hold your breath on the pack. The site tells you they can take up to two weeks to fill your order and ship it. Even if you choose overnight shipping, you can wind up getting your pack overnight - two weeks down the road.

This is why I haven't done this deal. Although that is a very nice selection, only one of those discs would be a keeper (CryZtal Buzzz) because none of the weights on the other discs match what I throw. Getting all those nice discs in all the wrong weights would be such a let-down. Not sure if I'm pickier than others, but I only throw max weight for mids and 169-171 for drivers.

I'm the same way as you but prefer drivers <170, but have ordered two packs and have been pleasantly surprised. I've managed to get duplicates of my go-to drivers (Surges and Forces) in the exact weights I like. The rest are discs I've never thrown and can get a feel for during field practice (and trade them for lighter weight versions).

I've also not had any trouble trading off what I've decided not to keep for discs in the weights I desire. I've even managed to get to practice dyeing on the discs I ship off and get another blank canvas on which to work a couple days later. If you're not up for the extra hassle of hitting the post office occasionally, I understand. For the record, I've made 7 trades on here and have yet to get burned (pretty great family we have here).

Mine are at home waiting for me, I can't wait to get out of work and check them out. I haven't been this excited since I was 6 and it was Christmas Eve!

Hilarious

Yes you will probably be disappointed. Although you may come around and be happy later on, like I have been each time. Always disappointed at first, and then happy about it later on.

BTW the 169 ESP Surge would fit your criteria as well, so that's 2 discs for sure you could keep. Those 2 right there at normal prices would represent almost 40% of the cost of the deal, though. So with trades and sales, you still end up on top with the 8 left over. And you could even end up with some surprise keepers.

The comet is a very nice midrange, nice that you got it in a heavier weight. The 171 ESP Surge is my favorite driver (and favorite weight for it also). The crush has really started to grow on me, and it's my favorite for flex shots. Impact is a really nice midrange, also nice you got in a heavier weight. I had a cyclone and didn't care for it, but gave it to a friend and it's one of his favorite drivers now.

 

[billnchristy]

The feedback is send me one of the cyclones and I will send you one of my discs.
