Noobie Question Thread (Dumb Questions answered here)

Questions about engraving on innova discs: if a disc is engraved "cal" is it from 2003-04? And if so does that mean it's 11x plastic? The reason being is I'm buying a few older discs and want to know if they are legit. I don't want to over pay for a lot of discs if they aren't authentic old goodness.

I am pretty sure it mainly depends on the disc. What types of discs have this tooling?

 

[plastic cannon]

Champ FL and champ TL. All are supposedly from 03-04.

Maybe someone here would know better than me. I wouldn't want to tell you one way or the other and then you buy some bad discs. I do know that if it is a TL from 03-04 it is a nice piece of plastic! Hope you find the info you need man.

I'm sorry sir, that's not a noobie question. You're going to have to go back to the back of the line. :|

ok another question..i lost my wraith so i tried switching to orcs because they are a little slower since i probly don't have 11 arm speed. good idea?

 

[BrotherDave]

Yes, good idea. Other good ideas are: OLF/OLS, PD, Viking or SL (I actually don't like SLs but they say good ones are out there).

Orc is a good mold though.

Are all the CFR champ FLs made in glow material?

I'm not a noob to disc golf but I am a noob to the PDGA and I have a question about tourneys. I'm just looking for a little clarification on the different tiers and what they mean etc. just a quick overview? Anyone?

It took a little searching on the PDGA site, but here's their document explaining the tiers.

teebirds, firebirds, destroyers, buzzzes/rocs, anything mvp.

 

[Nowski]

t-birds f-birds are hard to find in white star plastic, i could find f-birds in glow i guess that would work, rocs wouldnt work cuz the plastic wont take the dye (kc, dx) yeai guess mvp stuff, but i never got what all the fuss is about their discs haha

 

[Nowski]

haha oh and plastic cannon, i just got a midnight buzzz in a trade haha

Is there an easy way to remember the effects of a Understable disc vs. Overstable disc. In my head I can't help but think they should do the opposite. I can never quite get the gist of it and always have to break it down in my head...never certain if I have got it right or backwards.

This is just a memory thing on my behalf, i think. I have read all the threads and links on stability I can find.
