Turnover PD
Hey guys, in an effort to simplify the bag, I want to cycle PD's as my distance drivers (I only throw 300-330', so nothing faster is very necessary). I am curious if the S-line PD's break into turnover drivers, or if they simply beat to straight. I know the P-line is supposed to be pretty good for turnovers after it's hit a few trees, but I love the grip of my S-line (Star/ESP/Gold Line are my favorite plastics). Just wondering if anyone has this going on! If the S-line won't cut it for the understable shots, then the P-line is fine!

S-Line will eventually break in to be a turnover disc, but it will take at least a year, probably more. That's what it took with me throwing it nearly every day. A really good option is to get one of the P-Lines that have the gummier feel more like star, they break in much much faster and will be what you are looking for.
My bag is 2 S lines (one freshish and one super beat) and one P line that is the turnover disc, whereas the super beat S line still just likes to be hyzerflipped a bit.

Just the answer I was looking for! The P-line I have is very heavy and stiff. Wasn't aware they made gummier ones. Definitely something I'll look into. Thanks man

I could be wrong, but I believe the gummy P-lines were an earlier run of P-PDs. They are getting harder to find which is why I snag one up every time I come across one.
I'm testing a S-TD right now to see if it could fill that spot. Recently picked up a CFR one from Dehass's FST and its a nice gummy run, time will tell if I like better than the P-PD.

The gummy p lines are tough to find anymore. I was never a fan of the stiffies.

awwwwww yissssss.
went to GGGT today and felt up some discs.
walked out with a white SUPER tacky/gummy feeling S-line, 167 grams. checked the back; there's the patent number. and then stamp is silver so it's gonna wipe and dye like a champ. there was a max weight one as well, but the PL on that thing was MONSTER high compared to this one.
score?
can't wait to throw it - this is my first distance driver for my bag rebuild - now that i'm throwing my mids and fairways a straight for a decent distance, hopefully this will throw nicely.

Those are the ones that season the best in my opinion.

Are the s pd's mostly all stamped with the freak image from the baseline plastic? I ask this because I love that stamp, and want it on premium plastic.

well, i certainly do like it. just perfect for lined shots in tunnels.
the rim feels weird, though. is it possible for s-line pd with patent numbers to have plus rims? i kept releasing left and right; it was really starting to piss me off.

In the states, yes. I haven't seen a Freak stamp on any C-Lines though.
No.

hmm. that's what i gathered from reading most of this thread , but thanks for the confirmation.
Well I wa hoping to throw a two 3rd run c-line PDs today, but the innova proshop only sent me one 3rd run (pearly) and a domey pop top c-line pd (not pearly) from probably the second run. I think I'll be calling innova about a replacement..
The 3rd run flew pretty well on a bout 15-20 practice throws. Was easier to get more distance out of it than my f2 or shock. 400 with the pd, while the f2 and shock were more around 380-385 in a lighter left to right wind. Other than being a little longer, it seemed pretty similar to my shock and f2. Hard to say which I like the most, but I am going to put the pd in my bag for a few rounds or so and see how it does. I do like that its a bit longer though.

Just called them and they said it was from the same box.. so that means not all of the 3rd runs are pearly. I suppose it also means that not all 3rd runs are closer to flat because the 175 3rd pd I have is NOT pearly and has some dome to it. Planning to try it out tomorrow and see how it compares to my pearly flatter 3rd run 172 pd.
