Good god, why is my audio so bad now? 400 dollar microphone and it sounds like I was underwater?
It wasn't uploaded like this.

I went and found the original recording and while its not normal audio I get, its not as messed up and compressed as youtube showed it.

That explains why that one wasn't as popular.

It didn't sound that bad this morning on my phone. That 164 glitch would be the big pull for me and speaking of dayglo, I have quite a few fissions that I would argue are dayglo. It even looks to glow more as it's in more subdued even low light… I'll try to see if I can capture it well via still photo or video.
It was also cool to hear you compare some of those to the OG molds that I remember throwing back in the day.

Dayglow is a really specific yellow color.

MVP hasn't truly made dayglow for a long time except on random accident. It used to be a very common color.

There are dayglow "esque" discs out there now. But when you truely got a dayglow disc, its crazy how bright they are at dusk. They stand out like they are a flashlight.

I think I said dayglo in the video.
It's more of the new "fake" dayglow.

This is the one of 'ish/'esque dayglos I have now. They mostly seem to be fission and having a contrasting color on the rim really adds to the effect. The photo doesn't do it justice (of course) but I have been asked before if it was a glow disc by others out on the course who seen it around the magic hour.

The tour of terror is complete!!!

I wasn't going to pop for the detour but there was still a 176g around at an online shop. We'll it's B & M too but I'm not traveling for 2 days to get a disc....haha.

Very impressed with the detour very tursasish or it's a comet front end and buzzz ss for the fade. Shapes real nice, I can't remember if my gyropalooza detour is 174 or 176g but it has that touch of stability it needed. It's started at a sweet spot somewhere around 180g soft uplink or a beat 176g 8yr old comet (big dome). A nice micro S straight runner. The glow uplink is a little turny downhill and the hex lizottle needs juice all the time. It plays angles without flipping like the gyropalooza. Very adequate.

Ive beat some fade out of the eclipse pixel, tapped a field ace and a legit one on 18 at my place. I thought it was short haha. That's two legit at home in a few weeks. Also tossed a OTB soft envy at some baskets at work since a guy had them... just sitting there....and I had my backup 3 under the console in case of a disc golf emergency round.

Those envy are straight, and I mean STRAIGHT BUTTER, with a hint of reliable fade. The eclipse pixel is slightly more stable back end but yet more turny. Those envy are a laser to a drop.

What a beautiful sight MVP/Axiom disc selling off the rack. The owner called me, and asked if I could come in and help order about a hundred. About 25 had sold the week before. The photo was taken after I transferred 10 disc from an opposite shelf, with 10 still over there. Looking forward to the Neutron Soft Uplink arriving, and hopefully Plasma Wave when they arrive. Maybe a few others.

Biggest surprise the 15 Citrus Proton Pitch sold out within a week about a month ago, I thought they would sit there for months.

Just a few parachutes left, same with the Halloween SE, except the Fission Pyro very few have sold which surprises me.

Neutron Ascend 174g came recommended by iceberg TV, we had a few on the shelf so I picked one up. 9 speed distance on a turn, pretty good headwind. I was disappointed with my second Signal, I'm not going to miss it. Iceberg also recommend the Neutron Inertia back in July, he's 2 for 2 with me.

Time to change out the Pixels for putting, I've been hitting chains with them for 5 months, and they started to get a little off line on longer putts. 20 to 25 mph wind Gusty 30 first time this wind season old set 2 putt, 2 putt switch to the Electron Atom all is well. See how the new set does in that kind of wind.

Hey @lee76007 did you grab one of the eclipse pixels? I'm looking forward to throwing those a lot this winter.

Yes, a lot of turn and will haul ass on a down wind. I was laughing prior to a 20 mph crosswind. Tree to the right C1, had been a Tempo straight in, decided to aim 30 feet to the right of the tree with the Pixel threw it high, and watched it catch the wind, around the tree, across the basket, and bite into C1. Just like I saw on the practice field. To me it was funny to see it on the course.

For myself more effective on wooded courses, I can put more turn on it than a Proton Atom, not as much distance. I thought about knocking off some turn, but decided to leave it alone. I have plenty of stable approach putters. It's the most consistent 2 speed I've thrown.

Putting no can do. The rim is too firm. Hit pole or splash chains out it comes. Too many 2 putts practice basket. C2 practice basket and 4 rounds on the course only made one. No more Putting.

I got that new tempo uno last friday. and. Now I have no tempo. =\
I shelf ace discs.

 

[Sheep]

Well this is dumb.
I gotta wait a full month to get these stupid gyro boxes to do a video?

Laaame.

I like doing unboxing video's, but it would be nice to get them early.
its the only thing people watch on my youtube. haha. nboody wants to hear my old ass yell at clouds.

I've been intrigued by the tour of terror detour and how it might compare to a max weight neutron. Might just grab one for a glow bag along with the wave.

Is the OTB soft envy this one?

I found a couple like new in a used bin and likewise really like them. I've gone all in on envy's as my putting and throwing putter along with the watt in various plastics and weights.

My son confiscated the eclipse pixel I bought (honestly I'm glad as I am not jiving with that squared off inner rim and prefer anode/ion/spin if I use one of the deep domey floaty putters…) and uses it as his throwing putter pairing well with his electron putting putters.

@waltny waltny hey buddy the detour is real nice in that eclipse. I dunno if you do Comets but it's got that kinda flight (if it was a half breed with a svea and a buzzz SS in a threesome) but haha it's nice. TBH I haven't got much time in with it. But it's got some turn and return.

I stocked up on eclipse uplinks but they need too much work. I think I got 3. Still working on the first one. It's missing the butter. . The eclipse detour had it, the neutron does not.

Eclipse detour sounds fun.
I liked the neutron, but I just .. ended up not throwing it a bunch. Some of the stuff I wanted out of it, it wouldn't give it to me. I found my lobster just much more versatile overall.

Years ago I did Comets. I haven't had one in years as I didn't care for the rim with my grip but I do recall when you get it right it was a thing of beauty.

Based of your here its making me want to go pick one up. The max neutron I have is similar to a 160ish beat fission rhythm that does a similar flight with a slight push right with a gentle continuous drift. On a steeper hyperflip is a nice flip to flat and because of this the detour(with an occasional paradox shot) has taken the vast majority of shots that were max weight halo rollos over the summer.

Interesting. Were you hoping for S curves or just finishing right (assuming you are RHBH) with the detour?

Scores from the used bin. The Plasma PP ion/anode were found at a PIAS in Jacksonville Fl and the PP Volt was Down 4 disc golf in Concord, NC this past week.

I picked up a plasma ion about a year ago in the used bin for $9. Tried working with it for about 6 months, traded it at PIAS across town for $15, they sold it for $30.

Proton Volt about a month ago used bin a freebie. They were running a buy 2, 1 free.

Nice those old PFN volts are awesome!!!!

I'm fairly happy with my glow lineup right now. If I played more I'd be tempted to snag another wave but I have two orbitals that would be alright should it get lost. Pixels are breaking in faster than I expected (a tiny little bit haha), got all the glow envy too, the electron glow and eclipse proton sit on either side of the pixel and of course the glitch. Definitely favoring the detour over the uplink or hex (it throws and feels lighter by 2g)... it's just comfortable both straight and to shape. The tempo does a nice job as well for a FH disc (or wind putter, but I stay out of the forest at night if it's blowing).

The detour has made me think about the eclipse uplink a lot.... it's been decent but and then but... some more. Haha. It takes a decent throw to get the 179g uplink moving (more than the 180g S) and often the nose angle is just trickier, sometimes it turns sometimes it fades but getting it straight is hard kinda like the neutron detour. It's just a bad mix of HSS and LSS for my throw, maybe I should try hyzer flipping the uplink more.

WAIT UP.....Is the relay the missing more stable disc I need that slots between the servo and resistor???? I know the flight numbers suggest otherwise but if those flight numbers are like the trance's then maybe!? I have neutron relay that was quickly ousted from the bag for failing to do -2, 1 things in a big way...I think I'm excited to drag that thing out.

In my limited experience with the Relay's, the versions from a few years ago were decently stable. I was not expecting that but they felt less glidey as well...almost like a 6 4 0 1 type disc. I just bought a cosmic neutron one from a new release and it's truly 6 5 -2 1. I really enjoy it, but if I am being honest it doesn't really do anything my Crave's don't do already. Maybe a more pronouned flip but very similar flights and landing points for me. So Crave stays in the bag IMO.


In other news...I went to my local pro shop and was there to pick up a back up trail but left with a new volt and resistor. The Neutron Volt was actually domey, and I can't recall the last time I have seen a volt domey. It flies like a dream too. Right now I have the Tesla's out of the bag, the volt flies just as straight and has a more forward pushing fade than the Tesla's do. The Neutron Resistor I bought is freaking sweet. It's just about as stable as my board flat eclipse resistor but seems to fly farther. I don't know how or why but my Resistor and Fireball were landing side by side today during field work fairly consistently. Given that I favor the handfeel of the resistor over the fireball, I have to take the Fireball out of the bag as well.

Now I am trying to figure out if there is any need to try and stuff something between the volt and my OS photon or if there is enough spacing between those three discs (photon, volt, resistor)...
