Pictures of your vintage discs

[Working Stiff]

The big Discraft driver was the Eclipse. There was already an original stamp posted. This is the later stamp, which is pretty much how it looks today.

I like this stamp. It's a glow Eclipse.

Another old Discraft Driver, the Tracer.

This is a terrible picture, but this was a big Discraft Driver in the early 90's called the Shadow.

There was also a more overstable Shadow called a Shadow Plus, but I don't have one.

 

[Working Stiff]

And finally, the Marauder.

From least to most overstable, they were Eclipse-Tracer-Shadow-Marauder. All of them were big diameter discs, 22.0 cm or more.

The first real putter Discraft had was the Magnet.

I wasn't going to post the Magnet, as it really hasn't changed. I just thought I'd show you the underside for fun. It looks like when I first tried the Magnet and was writing my info on the bottom, I really wasn't digging this disc.

What can you say?

The Cyclone changed everything. It was the best all-around driver for 5 or 6 years after it came out.

 

[Working Stiff]

Discraft followed up the Magnet and Cyclone with the midrange Hawk. With those three discs they had a major improvement in their disc golf offerings. Up until these three discs came out, Lightning had a better selection of discs than Discraft.

The Hawk was also sold in Tournament Pro plastic. It was called the HD Hawk.

We take for granted that discs are available in three or four different kinds of plastic today. Back in '93 the Aviar and the Hawk were the only discs I recall that you could get in two different kinds of plastic.

 

[Working Stiff]

For some reason, the follow-up driver to the small-diameter Cyclone was another big-diameter driver called the Typhoon. It wasn't very popular.

 

[Working Stiff]

Then somebody broke a Cyclone mold and Discraft had the overstable companion to the Cyclone they needed, the X-Clone.

For most of the mid 90's this was hands down the best forehand disc on the market. It wasn't very durable, so you had to buy them in stacks!

The X2 was the first Elite Pro disc. I thought it had a really cool stamp.
1st Run X2.

X2.

After the XL came out and was a huge hit, all the Elite Pro discs from then on had the same boring XL-ish type stamp. It was kinda hard for a casual player to tell an X2 from and XL at that point. I always thought that was a mistake and they should have left the original stamp on the X2.

1st run XL.

Another 1st run XL. Why does it have a smaller stamp, you ask? I have no idea!

A tye-dye XL.

And with that, I hit 1,000 posts in one year!
