Frank Delicious said:NOOOOOO!
what did you do to that poor disc?
Mad Scientist said:Nice cross-section, I was wondering of the two parts keyed into each other. I'd definitely like to give this disc a toss.
tigel said:My Ions just came in the mail today. I must say, these feel amazing in the hand. The Rim depth feels like a midrange, which I like a lot (small). The flight plate feels like a gummy champion or opto plastic. These putters are FLAT as can be, very slick design. Grip wise, it's not slick at all :lol: I did a few indoor putts and was able to firmly hold the ions just fine. I'm curious what rain/moisture will do to the plastic.
The outer wing plastic (the red part) feels super soft! I really think it will hold on to chains just fine. I can almost sink in my finger nail on this plastic. It has enough give to feel soft, but by no means don't think it's not durable.
I'm actually out the door here in a bit to go see what these suckers do.
First impressions wise, these discs feel/look great and have huge potential.
Jeronimo said:Tigel, please clarify what you mean by the rim depth being like a midrange. I know you throw the Mako and the Core, which one is it more like. If I remember correctly the Mako has a deeper rim than the Core. I really like shallow rim putters so I'm really interested in hearing more.
Are you also saying it doesn't glide well? Or that when it loses speed it just falls flat?

The plastics are fused together. In fact, you can see some of the red bleed into the blue in the cross section.
