So anyone wanna buy a Groove? 
sure, I'll give you $4.00, but you pay shipping.
i'm always up to buy grooves. it's in my sig permanently. very useful disc for risky shots.

I know a guy who threw 20 Champ Katanas, same weight, and he said only 3 flew consistently the same.

That's better than you'd do with 20 Grooves. :|

could be....
The dude I mentioned was a retired mechanical engineer so he was very analytical and had plenty of money and free time. He would buy multiples of the same plastic and weight, throw them the same way and record the results. He said the Katana was the most inconsistent of the discs that he had tried. We didn't talk about the Groove. Seeing that he was a rather intelligent person, I'm going to assume that he knew better than to bother with it.

longest ace i hit with a groove was 325 hole 5 willow stream park buffalo grove il
Intelligence has no bearing on one's ability to throw. Give anyone any high speed disc and unless they possess the uncommon form and power required to throw it they will have inconsistent results at best. The Katana and other understable high speed discs would be even less consistent. If a less than powerful thrower uses a Nuke OS, the result will be the same every time - Newb Hyzer. If you use a Vulcan, you may turn it over quickly or you may fail to get it up to speed and newb hyzer. On another note, thank you to Booter for the correct "snowflake of suck" quote.

Dmbrun on here chucked one on the most ridiculous lines on a hole that is nearly impossible to even get to the basket, and the flight pattern was so horrible that it it suited the horrible hole perfectly and he aced it with a Groove he just found.

I understand that smarts don't equal successful throws. Thanks for reminding me of that obvious fact.
My point was that dude does this for every disc, he's an engineer, he likes to know how things work. He has been playing for a long time and knows how to throw them rounded flying disc things.
oh, why even bother, everyone here knows everything already anyway....

There's over 1500 of them cataloged here, so they can't be too terrible....

After having a lukewarm at best experience with the similarly grooved rim Monarch, I decided to not drink the Kool-Aid when the Groove came out.

You're very welcome. I was just saying that with the current knowledge base and general concensus being that Katanas are fairly consistent, It's more likely that the dude in question just doesn't have the arm for uber speed drivers, like most of us. If it was a slower speed disc the results of that particular test would be more reliable. I have nothing against you or your engineer friend.

I appreciate that only so much information can be gleaned from a few words on a computer screen. I only mentioned the Katana because I was also surprised by his results. Again, dude has been playing for a long time and knows how to throw. But in the end, I am not trying to convince anyone of anything.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled Groove hate thread...

So basically, neither of us had a real point... Huh. OK, as you were.
