So when you buy them hands on, are you looking for the firm & tacky or the slick? Sounds like it might be worth the slickness to have increased durability...

I'm sure this has been said before but I believe the "slickness" is a releasing agent that they spray on the molds every X number of injections. Just wash it off.

^^^ I've come across one of the slick JBs. Dish soap washed the slickness right off.
Well rest assured, I want x wasps. I would settle for JB wasps. But X...definitely.

"Tournament Hot Stamp. Minimum order is 50 discs(10 per model) Must include the event name and date.

Business/other Hot Stamp. Minimum order is 100 discs(10 per model)"
I wish Discraft would let you custom order any disc in any plastic. But then you'd have to throw a tourney or start a club to get the order minimum down to 50 discs.

Where the hell were you when I bought 20 wasps this spring? I would easily tripled that order if I could get x wasps... UHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I want the tacky for putting. I will try washing the slickness as other have suggested.
FWIW I bought 3 JB Banger's a while back and there was no slickness about any of them. Decided the Banger wasn't what I wanted (again) so I've got a couple of JB Roaches on the way. I'll report if the plastic is any different than the Bangers I have.
Depends on what glideometer you have

I used to cycle X wasps. I always called them better feeling KC rocs. There were some chalkier ones that seasoned nice, but a lot faster than our modern X does.
JB Wasps would be cool too. I cycled some ProD for a while as well, JB may be a good balance between the two. Some blends were durable (enough).

Id love to see some Jawbreaker Buzzz OS'! I thought this year's Ledgestone might provide a chance, but they already released their version of the Buzzz OS for Ledgestone this year (it's in ESP for anyone wondering.)
They did a JB Nuke for Ledgestone, which I think is kind of weird but I bet it will sell. What other molds in JB do you guys think would work? I think a JB Drone would be pretty sweet...

Just about any of their molds at all. Every putter and mid, fer sure.
I'd consider trying a Jawbreaker Buzzz to compliment my Ti Buzzz...

I bet a JB Hornet would bang in dead straight. :thmbup:
I would support a decision to make JB wasps

Ok so I'm on a discraft kick lately and I really want to give one of the jawbreaker putters a shot at my main putter. I see the roach has been popular since it's release but I'm also considering the banger gt and challenger. All three very different I know.
So hose of you who use jawbreaker for putting, what are you using? I know it's mostly feel but I've been flip flopping so much recently idk what I want. Lol. Gone from atom, colt, wizard, anode in the last year

I'm putting with Jawbreaker Challengers and am loving them. Putted Mercy's for 2 years, and did alright. These have just a touch more float, so I'm not having to putt as hard.
Going from the Anode, a Chally would feel close. Or if you wanted a Wizard clone, they recently released the Focus in Jawbreaker, a Ringer could be substituted for your Colt/Atom.

I am currently putting with JB magnets love the feel and flight. I am going to switch the the roach though similar flight and the hold up better. The bottom rim on the magnet chews up faster then i like. If you can get your hands on them go by feel that is always the best bet for putters.

I have Jawbreaker Challengers and the Jawbreaker APX. Challenger is a bit more (over)stable than the APX. Both good putters, just a matter of which works best for you.
4x champ Valarie Jenkins Doss uses the Jawbreaker Roach. I don't own one, but the shape looked similar to a Aviar to me when I saw one at the store. Valarie was draining putts all day with it at Worlds, so if you want to channel your inner 4x champ, give that a try.

They're not deep dish like the Aviar. They (Roach) also have a chunkier rim.
