[Vibram] The unLace

It's already been mentioned in the Vibram thread, but I wanted to start an official thread to talk about this new disc so that people can start talking about the production run as they start coming in.

Don't know if the're changing anything from the prototype, but this is the disc based on the 419. Extremely understable high speed driver.

My brother has one of the 419s and you can definitely crush it with a hyzer flip.

Be interesting to see if this is anywhere near as popular as the Lace.

I'm really curious to see how close this is to the 419. I max out at 325'-ish, so I never touch distance drivers, but I couldn't believe how easily the 419 flew for me. It turned more consistently than the Underworld. Didn't get a chance to rip it, so I don't know if I can throw it farther than the Underworld, but I'd be curious to find out.

I'll probably wait to hear the initial reports before I snag one, but if it sounds close to the 419, I'll probably try one out. I'd love to see how a 150 class unLace flies for me.

I loved my super understable Player's Cup Lace that I lost on the Toboggan Course this year, so this is exciting!

 

[Um...]

I have an unLace. It's called a Firm Lace.

BRING ON THE O-LACE!!!

 

[lavon_andy]

MORE understable then the Lace?

Sweet mother of flipping god

Yea I have a firm lace bagged with r419 and they don't hit the same lines, but like you I'm more excited for the O-lace.

 

[smyith]

they made an even flippier Lace? why?

 

[Hlasianguy06]

So old men who lack good form and arm strength can bomb. Plus now I have a reliable turning driver, and something easy as hell to roll

 

[Um...]

...and something easy as hell to roll

Roll a Lace??!! I'd love to roll my Laces, but they're like rolling a rubber tire. Bounce all crazy on every little bump and rock that gets in the way.

 

[elnino]

pics? show me your UN LACE!!!! O O Oh!

 

[AndyJB]

Hmm....yeah, I don't know about this. My Laces, mediums or firms, were always pretty flippy

Love my proto r419b (unLace). But at 163g it's a little finicky if there's any wind. Can't wait to pick up a 175Gg production run!

As far as why they made a flippier Lace, this now (assuming the tweaked O-Lace is more Force-like as predicted) gives Vibram a distance driver that's very controllable for every type of player. The unLace for noodle arms (~300' or less), the Lace for the moderate thrower (300'-~400'), and the O-Lace for Cannon arms (400-450+).

Brodysseus: did you get yours for winning a Birdie Bash? I'm interested to see if those guys have gotten their testers yet

No, I did not receive my tester spot from winning a Birdie Bash.

Interesting. I find my M Lace as easy as any driver I have to turn, yet a friends F Lace I've messed with is actually stable. In my hands I'd call my 163M a 13/6/-4/1.5 and his 174F 13/5/-1/2.5.

Seems like consistency with F may be an issue?

I'm pretty sure they have. Our local Birdie Bash tester got his probably a month to six weeks ago.

 

[Hlasianguy06]

I received mine on June 7th.

 

[aajpity]

I would like to see this disc. Been meaning to try out a non putter Vibram disc.!

 

[turbine712]

I love my Trak and Accent however I find the rim of the Lace a bit of a problem getting my index finger in a good position. It's a hair too wide for me. Anyone else find this to be true?

This sounds more like weight being an issue than inconsistency.
