My nice Postlady delivered my Bullfrog (and Pharaoh) to my doorstep today. I've made these observations, so far:
1. The Bullfrog is not nearly as shallow as the Tomb, and is less shallow than the Star Stud and Star Colt at the rim.
2. The Bullfrog looks a lot like the Whale on the underside (V-tech) and side of the rim. But the Bullfrog is FAF flat.
3. The Bullfrog feels very good in the hand. I like flat-topped discs, so I liked how it felt. Additionally, the XT plastic feels good, not too 'pencil eraser'-ish.
4. Inclement weather outside, so I won't get to throw the Bullfrog today. I did putt on the 'indoor range', i.e. my long hallway into the bedroom and the boxes I've stacked, about 19 ft. of length. The Bullfrog putted very straight with my spin putt. Yes, it's a limited test, but I did not sense I was throwing a Glide '1' brick. I'm looking forward to getting it to the course for some putting and throwing, to see what it really does and really can do...
TL; DR: flat, not as shallow as some feared, putts straight, needs more testing. But seems like a good disc if you like flat discs. :thmbup:
With a profile THAT similar to a Whale, I suspected it couldn't be as shallow as some people were saying, so thanks for clarifying that.
Honestly, in terms of the Whale, I putt with Daggers and I hated putting with the Whale. The Dagger is deep, but it's also pretty flat on top. The Whales I owned had a tall, sloping shoulder that made it hard for me to get a good grip and clean release for putting. So if the Bullfrog is a flatter Whale, then I might actually be interested (and maybe Ricky will too, who knows?). A flatter Whale would be more similar to a Dagger (although maybe not quite as deep). Of course it's also probably similar to a KC Pro Aviar and Ricky does have experience with those, so who knows? Then again, I doubt they will take Climo's signature off the KC Pro Aviar, so if Ricky is hoping for a signature putter, the Bullfrog could become that disc easily. I don't think a low glide number will affect his power loft/push putts all that much.
