[Vibram] Vibram Lace Official Announcement
- Thread starter BADman
- Start date
I had the opportunity to hold a Lace proto yesterday and does it ever feel fast! The proto I held was the understable proto and it was pretty domey. I'm hoping the more stable version maybe isn't quite as domey. But even so, I know that the Firms of the Lace are going to be fast and stable.

I think I just put a name and face to your screen name.
Elm Creek is already closed, so we cannot take my proto out there for a few rips, but I am thinking about getting out to Plymouth tomorrow (Sunday) from 1:30 to Vikings' kickoff. I have it in the trunk of my car and we could take a few throws out in the soccer field if you are interested.
I could bring my all Vibram-bag and show you those Black-Eyed Traks I was talking about.
Hey man! I would definitely like to pump that Lace a few times even though I know it will probably be pretty flippy for me. I'm not sure if Sunday will work. What about sometime today (Saturday)?
I am hitting Eagle's Edge for a warm-up and then Central with a friend a little later today if that works for you.

Taking my sons to Wreck It Ralph followed by some family time and yard work. Sunday is it for me until Veteran's Day.
I got a chance to throw Dana's protos and here are my findings.
The grey one was pretty flippy and amazing in tailwinds. It took more left to right room to get a good solid S-curve out of it. The red one held a much tighter line (think Trak-like) and had pretty awesome glide just as advertised. I definitely will be buying a couple of them when they come out.
For reference, I throw with 400+' power.
This disc is going to be worth all of this hype. It has it all: looks, glide, versatility, grip, etc. Once again Vibram has another winner on their hands

The Lace will be equivalent to the stable version which we sent to the testers. The flippy version was too flippy according to almost all of the testers. A huge thank you to the testers for your willingness to be brutally honest about how useless the flippy one was to you all. Your comments had an impact and we are crazy excited about the reactions from the testers who got the stable version. The vast majority said the disc would find a way into their bag!
Tentative release date for Lace! November 23!

Just in time for snow eh?! Woohoo. Still excited though!
The hour draws near...
Mr. Dodge, what kind of weights are we looking at for these bad boys? I know some of my Ascents and Traks are mighty light...and I like that.

I agree. I would love a plethora of different weight Laces to throw around.
