Slow mid, fast putter. Specs say flat, I think. OS approach??

 

[ray1970]

Maybe their attempt at a Zone?

Total random speculation on my part.

someone on reddit says its similar to a tactic

Not saying much, since the tactic has already been retooled, what, twice? So it could be straight to fade or OS!

i dont know, ive had the soft exo tactic an the rc2. since the rc2 was in a stiffer plastic is was slightly more OS but i found it pretty similar.

I can't keep up, I guess I'm officially old even though I'm in my early 30s. No idea what a tactic or rc2 is lol

The Tactic is basically Discmania's answer to the Zone or Harp. RC2 is the "Razor Claw 2" stamp which is Eagle McMahon's signature edition disc.

And I sympathize with you when people start spouting off with abbreviations.

Is Razor Claw 2 the mold or the "name" - think PD is the "Psycho" or whatever

'Stål' means 'Steel' in Swedish, 'Järn' means 'Iron'. I'm guessing it's going to fly similar to the Stål. Beef seems most likely

Mold is Tacic, Razor Claw 2 is the name of the signature run.

No it's one of the goofy names DM comes up with for signature discs - dark maul, sky god, roaming thunder etc.

OS "Midrange" is my guess. 1.3 width for the rim indicates it's a little quicker then a Harp or Tactic. I believe a Gator is 1.3 rim as well. Zone is 1.2.

 

[ray1970]

Yep. Razor Claw is just a tactic in fancy plastic with a cool stamp at twice the price of the base model.

 

[ff33]

exo plastic is pretty average at best. RC2 would last twice as long as a tactic in exo soft prob exo hard too. it is a player disc as well and their always more expensive

The latter; it's just a Tactic, but since it's Eagle's signature disc, it's called the Razor Claw.

EDIT: question has already been answered a few times :doh:

It will be quite fun to hear Americans trying to pronounce "Järn"

Kastaplast is all over the place with the names on their molds. . .but all 4-letter names is cool

The first thing that comes to mind..

If you say the first part of "Jerry" like in Jerry seinfeld. . and then a N like in NO

So: JERR.N

That gets you close but the "E" part is a bit of. .i will think about a better example.
