Is the diameter between 7cm and 15cm and no taller than 3cm?

Damn you! You just cost me $30 bucks for a freaking cool mini.
Thanks a lot!

Charged you $30 for a mini?!?! You must have money to throw away. Check out this guy:

Got a can of Kodiak right here. 65.66 mm dia and 23.16mm tall so yes a can of dip would be legal but that opens a whole new can of worm.

I think I'd argue in favor of the Vibram minis. Both the Chameleon and Twister are generally round in shape to me. Just because their overall outline has a concave spot here and there doesn't disqualify them unless the standard says so. Both of their outer diameters are within the stated regulation. For example the scalloped edges of the Turbo Putter were legal before they got more specific with the disc rules.
Is that mini PDGA legal? Really?
Dude! It's a mini! I'm pretty sure your safe with any Vibram or similar 'mini'!!

Lawyer up!
Just because it's manufactured by a disc company doesn't make it automatically "legal"? I don't think it's a foolish question to ask with regard to these oddly shaped minis, particularly in light of the revisions to the disc technical standards a few years ago (the Turbo Putt fiasco in particular).
I'm sure the likelihood that anyone would actually make a stink about them in competition is pretty low, but clarification can't hurt.

Step putts and odd shaped minis are what is holding disc golf back.
Is that your official PDGA Board Member platform that you're running with? ... cause you've got my vote :thmbup:
