Hey guys, I did a search and didn't see anything on the new rubber disc company Elevation.
They have two molds out so far, the Interceptor which is mid/approach shaped disc that is billed as slightly overstable. And the Koi which is a rounded edge putter that is slightly understable.
A friend of mine had one of each at league last week and they were very interesting.
I found the Interceptor not to be overstable, but very straight and you had to throw it at a much higher nose angle to net any distance at all. It flexes so much under power that really long throwers were seeing it warp in the air as it is so very floppy.
The rim felt durable and like it could take a hit, but the flight plate felt so thin, seems like it would be far too easy to puncture.
True to its purpose it hits and flops, you can't even really make it roll.
The Koi is almost a spiritual descendent of the Blowfly, slightly more structure to the rim, which is a traditional rounded putter shape and it's a touch flippy,
Pretty long though, myself and one other player were throwing backhand hyzerflips near 300 with it and they stick like glue to grass.
No one seemed to like putting with it very much, the five in the flight plate threw many people off, but overall I would consider bagging this one over the Interceptor. I currently have a battered old Megasoft Swan2 for uneven approaches and this could potentially do that job if I am unable to find a replacement.
I'm interested in seeing what this company does next, definitely have people curious as they are selling out in hours every time they put inventory up.
Could end up being a meme disc/company but only time will tell.
