[Discraft] Ridiculously Early 2013 Ace Race Disc Speculation Thread!

[ThomasOrion]

:hfive:

I would agree with all of that except your speed numbers. This thing is at least an 8 speed, if not a 9. IMHO it's akin to a Viking with more glide or a maybe just a Neutron Volt. I'd go 8 or 9 / 5 / -1 /2

I absolutely love this disc.

yeah, i could give it a 8/6/-1/2 or whatever, something like that....yeah i totally agree. cool. Im pissed tho, i really like it so i throw it a lot now, and i hit a tree and then gravel and scuffed the rim. i was so sad. haha. ill get another one eventually, (i used a lighter and smoothed out the roughness) but yeah this thing when given a tiny anhyzer is suuuuuper smooth and doesnt flip easy...BUT isnt too understable...its a nice go to 280-350 ft driver

 

[iacas]

The early reports were that it was overstable. Is it possible people thought it was very overstable because they were throwing them 150-240 feet in Ace Races?

I also heard the earlier ones might be more overstable?

9/4/-1/2 sounds like a good fairway driver.

 

[Halcón]

It's an awesome fairway driver. I don't have the arm to make it turn at all, so for noodles I'd say it's a 9/5/0/2.

 

[joegraham]

How does it compare to a Ti Stalker? Oh, and how do the minis fly?

I've got a pretty noodly arm, and I can get the 164-166 to turn ok. The 170-172 takes a lot more 'oomph' for me to do it.

 

[smarkquart]

My 151-155s are no slouches either. They did not seem sensitive, especially nose sensitive, like how you would see out of most other light weight discs. Of all the ones I threw, they held the straightest lines when thrown with the low snap you would use on 150-200 ace race holes. They were still very controllable on the open field shots, acting like a disc much heavier.

 

[Halcón]

My two discs were both in the 173-174 range so that may attribute to their relative overstability. I was putting them past 250 in the field, and there was no turn. I'd liken this disc to a Volt with better skip, and a little better glide.

I don't think I could turn a 173-174 either. I was getting about 260 - 280 out of the lighter ones with some turn.

Volt comparison is a good one, I'd say.

 

[Stardoggy]

If anyone has thrown a Lucid Escape, how do these compare? It sounds like the flight pattern is similiar, and I've been looking to replace my Escape....but I don't know if I can wait until Oct. 12th!

If we're saying they're somewhere between a Volt and and a Viking, it's going to be close:

I just picked up a 173g Blue one in the marketplace literally 5 minutes ago. :thmbup:

 

[hendryxdisc]

Is this disc going to pair well with an Avenger and Xl? It sounds like it would fall in between the two in speed and stability.

 

[cjrogus]

I wouldn't put these things anywhere near my volt.

Ace Race discs are 165 and 174
Neutron Volt 173
Volt goes out to around 350 with a healthy fade towards the end.
Heavy ace race disc goes to around 325 straight with a small fade.
Light one goes out to 350 with a lazy s and lands relatively one the line it started on.
My volt is a headwind fighter that I can trust to fade hard where the ace race discs are lazer beams with an easy fade. I would put them at maybe 8/5/-1/2
where as the volt I feel is closer to a 8/5/-.5/3.

I would say that it fits right in between those in both flight and speed.

You must have a different Neutron Volt than me, because mine is definitely not a 3-Fade headwind fighter. I bought a Shock for that purpose.

i would put the speed at 8 it reminds me of a x tracker i think it will get a 1.6 rating.

I disagree.

 

[money 21]

i would put innova numbers of 8/4/-1/2 the glide is not great. my disc loves the fh.

 

[BogeyNoMore]

Pretty much agree with this:

i would put innova numbers of 8/4/-1/2 the glide is not great. my disc loves the fh.

...but would give it 8, 4, -1, 3

Discraft said it's between a Stalker and a Predator... I'd agree on both stability and speed.

I'm just not seeing that -3 fade on the 165-166 and 170-172 discs that I have. Definitely a nice, mellow finish.

Having a blast throwing them.

 

[money 21]

i really like this disc and have it in my bag and it complements my xs's really well.
