I hadn't played in actual round of golf in several weeks until yesterday. Mostly just been going out to my local course to putt. Just got a 166 Big Z Buzzz and had a crazy thought that it could replace my heavy Comets so that I could reduce molds. What a dumb thought. Even lighter weight Buzzz's are still so much more stable than Comets. So difficult for me to hyzer flip straight without having any fade at the end. Comet does this perfectly in the woods every time.

I have a couple of the Discraft bar stamp domey glow z comets. They're pretty beefy for a comet. I really like these because it allows me to carry three comets and cover all my midrange shots. I occasionally throw in something really overstable if the wind is kicking up. I would definitely recommend finding some of the newer run domey glows as they are nice glidey flyers with a reliable hyzer finish to them.
MJ, any eta on the 2018 fundraiser comets?

Mines pretty US, I guess it's beef for a Comet. Not beefy though.

When I say beefy, I'd say it's a +1 versus a 0 on the discraft scale.

I got ya. Mines a true blue 0. Any scale. Every disc falls slightly left unless it turns all the way to the ground this one, when thrown well will turn come back and just gently sut as it dies down with forward momentum. If I turn it it holds all the way that and a beat to hell soft x Challenger are the only discs I can get a 200' anny that turns literally all the way down.

Yo MJ, is there anything other than the comet in your mid line up?

MJ, what is your opinion of the punisher, and what cranks do you think are most/least stable?
The jury is still out for me on the punished, haven't quite figured it out.
Cranks on the other hand, usually stiffer, clearer ones are more stable and glo usually is as well. Least stable break in an esp and it's flippy as all get out lol
Not all the time, but hornets, buzz and buzz OS creep in there from time to time

Right on man, i guess when you do the kinda magic that you do with the comet there's no need for anything else.
I really enjoyed it the last time I was there. Really nice variety of holes and you can see the amount of work they have put in there.
Awesome, I live about an hour away and really enjoy making my way down there. I'm hoping I'll have time to come watch you guys tear it up this year.

Glad to say that I put the comet back in the bag for a round yesterday, the first time I pulled it out I hit chains on a turnover shot off the tee of a 250' hole, it'll have to stay in for a bit but it's always an on again off again affair. Do love this disc though.
The first batch of sigs that have been out are pretty similar flight line to regular esp runs. A little gripper feel on most of them though

I guess the Ledgestone 2018 discs will be out soon. Are we going to see any comets get some love in unique plastic blends? I would love to see a jawbreaker, Z crystal, esp glo, and of course more titanium comets. How much influence do you have in that department?

If you get the Discraft newsletter, there are going to be production(sounds like it but maybe just for their website) runs of NEW blend Titanium and NEW Swirl ESP Comets sometime in the Spring.
Have to see how those turn out. The plastic is already available for other molds.
