Around here the Vibram discs are falling off hard.
Nobody wants the things anymore.The guys that work at the local shops around here said they can't give the things away.
I wonder if it's like this everywhere?

Send some discount discs this way!
I've helped spark Vibram fever in the Mitten! I'm anxiously awaiting their distance driver that is to be out this summer/fall via Discgolfer magazine.
And I'm sure those prototype max distance drivers which are popping up will get them much more exporure too. I got to touch (but not throw) one a few weeks ago. I was told it was about 4 revisions behind where they are now so I won't comment on anything unique about it. I saw one throw and the disc really just lept forwards...and the disc went far enough we never found it in the schule at the edge of the field where the disc was thrown...yes, it went THAT much further than the thrower was expecting it to.
I wondered if that was the case myself Justin. Sort of a catch 22 for Vibram, make a quality robust product that puts themselves out of business lol (obviously an exaggeration...for now)
They're still very young and there are MANY molds to come I'm sure. Hell, I didn't really turn my head till I saw the Ibex and Sole come out. Before then I started thinking of them as big rubber bricks that fall out of the sky. I'm hopeful the Obex release will reward them financially for developing such a versatile and well performing disc, though I fear it won't be as popular because I believe it caters to skilled players... who are generally set in their ways in terms of plastic by then. Personally, I like to keep an open mind
...and bag.
