Just got 2 O-Laces from disc golf center. One has a slight dome and the other is completely flat. It's snowing in WI so won't be able to throw them quite yet. Anybody have a flat or domey O-Lace and notice a significant difference in stability?

Mine ran incredibly domey.

Inevitably, there's going to be some variance from run to run...
Personally, I don't mind. Well, until I can't find another...

Soft lace
Got a 170g soft lace the other day and had the chance for about 6 throws in an open field. Normally I use a 164g M and can get it somewhere around 330' with a strong fade. Anything heavier and it fades too earlier, and lighter will flip and burn. Well, this soft flew so amazingly straight for about 350' with minimal fade! The release will take some work, because I kept throwing it about 4' off the ground for its entire flight. Should be perfect for many shots here in the PNW.
I'm still pretty green at this sport, and I've tried soft in every other vibram disc, but this is the first one that has worked for me. Can't wait to try soft in the O- and unLace.

I found something about the O-Lace that I was not all that impressed with recently. Of course I found a few really good things about it as well.
In advance of an Arctic cold front hitting the Denver Metro area around noon today I went out and played a round this morning before work. Probably played during the warmest part of the day.
On the positive side, I think there are good things in the future for the O-Lace as a forehand disc. Not necessarily the huge Flex Shot forehand, but at least a good straight forehand. That means that the O-Lace has pretty much kicked one disc out of my bag.
The hopes that it would kick two or three out is an epic failure. I threw a thumber with it and it was less than acceptable. So, I shall continue to use my Nuke OS and Force for a while until Vibram gives me my Mo-Lace. I still really like the O-Lace, more and more every day.

From your description, my guess is that the Obex should be somewhere in between these two! It has a moderate dome, imo.

WOOHOO! This is exciting. I'm looking forward to it.
I also want to say, I just ordered my first set of O-Laces from Community Discs on Tuesday and they just arrived today! I wish the weather was better so I could try them out but it's cold and snowing right now in OKC. I want to thank Justin once again for an incredibly fast delivery and great customer service. He also threw in a sweet Vibram mini! I love this sport!
And don't forget! You can get a free shirt when you buy 3 discs from any VIbram retailer!

So I've put in a handful of rounds with my new Glow discs (Ascent, Ibex, Sole) and O-Lace. In regards to the glow discs, I'm not sure if it is because of the cold or I haven't worn out the initial mold stiffness yet, but they are all more OS than I am used to in these molds. Not complaining, I actually like them a lot! Anyone else find this this to be true?
And as for the O-Lace, it is BEEFY for my arm speed. Plus, I got one of the really flat ones and I love flat discs for FH. And as I was hoping to replace my flat Star Destroyer that I used as my main FH driver, this is a great fit. I still don't have it quite dialed in, for some reasons I have a little trouble with my FH with Vibram discs. The rubber seems to stick to my fingers a little too well and I end up pulling my drive a little. But I got used to it with my Ascents and VPs , which are my favorite discs to flick. I am getting some laser straight flights with a great hard fade, just need to get the release point down.

^This is going to be stellar. I will be hosting one in StL. Can't wait to flex my vibrams a little.

Got a glow Obex (Glowbex) a couple of weeks ago & used it for the first time this weekend. I one-disced it at a nearby pitch & putt course. This disc had a lot of fight to it (speaking from a sidearm perspective), in the wind as well. It also went really straight & long when given some snap. If the glows are stable, then I may have to try the entire glow line-up.

Best way to get some new Vibram Discs, hands down. Hopefully I will be able to play in one this year.

Glow Ridge that just arrived in the mail today. I gave it about two to three minutes of charging with a UV flashlight. I have to say I am impressed. Unfortunately I do not have the camera setup to do the disc justice. At least in the absolute darkness of my bathroom I had no trouble finding the disc.
