[Other] Vintage Discs?

[solomon.trenton]

Back when I threw Jaguars I used to roll a B-17. It didn't seem so big with the larger-diameter Jaguar in the bag. I used to throw Scorpions and B-2's as well. Now I don't think any of those would fit in my bag.

arent those (the jaguar) ultimate discs?i know they are PDGA approved but

 

[Three Putt]

No, the Jaguar is a driver. Very flippy with a ton of glide because of the huge diameter. Off an elevated tee with a tailwind they would float for a long way.

i suppose these go for an arm and a leg.....?

the plane discs? not that i've seen. usually pretty cheap. i think marshalstreet has a couple for $10 plus whatever shipping is. they have all the other plane ones as well.

Lightning re-released a lot of the airplane stamps last year, and that dumped the value of the old stuff. Before that I was selling off old airplane stamps for $40/disc, which was crazy/stupid money for an old Lightning disc.

I still throw the first disc I ever bought (14 yrs. ago), a red Comet. The weight wore off years ago, I don't even remember what the weight is. Probably around 171 g.It's gotten a little flippy but not alot. I would say I use it 10 shots a round.I putt with it too, at times.Everyone laughs at my old school plastic but it works for me, and I pretty much know exactly what it's going to do.Like an old friend...

I'm pretty sure the first disc I bought was still in the trunk when I sold that old Century I drove in college. :doh:

I do still have a few "old school" discs, two of my fav's are a special edition <what is now pro plastic> leopard, and the first year champ plastic came out Banshee. only other notable I have is a ching Tank, which was very close to the ryno, but not as stable, and mine is VERY soft, almost blowfly-ish. I came across it during the spring and threw it around some, but it was way too understable to completely control.

 

[bizarbies]

For anny putts and short approaches I use my first putter, which is a chains aviar. I carry circle stamp stingrays, pro line cobras, and a se leopard. All these discs are in my bag right now.

This is the collection of older molds that have a home with me.

The Lightnings are all new stamped versions of the WarBird Series. The #2 Roller is the B-17, the #2 Slice is the Bearcat and the #3 Hookshot is the SR-71. The last disc is an 86 Softie.

The first Cheetah, the first two Cobras and the Roc are exclusively my father's discs. The other Cheetah and Cobra, the Gopher and the 86 Softie are exclusively my discs. The rest are shared and get tossed into the bags whenever we feel the urge to throw them, save for the big #2 Roller and the first Stingray, which I have up for trade/sale.

I huck the piss outta some Cobras.

I also like Banshees and have a Cyclone in the bag but it doesn't see too much air time.

 

[jljordan]

I throw a 175g beaten flat-top classic roc for shots between 125ft to maybe 200ft that I need to stay perfectly straight with zero fade at the end.

I gave my son an old 133g Cobra and my wife has a 148g stingray and a 150g banshee. Ive also got a beaten to hell star stamped banshee but I don't throw it very often.

I got a birdie the other day in a Doubles round with my Cobra, from about eighty feet out.

It was sweet to see that disc turn in just a bit and hit dead center. It's my primary up-shot disc.

Here is my 86 Softie. It changes purple in sunlight

 

[Crazy Buffalo Guy]

I throw C.E.,S.E.,and a blowfly.

 

[Bubbajoe]

I friggin' love Cobras. I have no idea why they aren't buzz/roc popular. One of my golf partners uses a pair of 86 Softies for his main putters. They feel great in the hand and I'm sure they fly terrific, I'm just trying to keep my self off OOP/Botique plastic when ever I can avoid it.
I'm a huge collector of many different things and I'm doing everything in my power to keep my plastic gathering under control.

I is NOT in any way, shape, or form an easy thing to do.

 

[Sadjo]

I have in my bag an old 'Hands on" Avair putter, a scorpion and an original viper. All from late 80s to early 90s. My roller disc is a 144g Stingray.

I just sold a never been thrown 91 mold.

 

[RoundWounds]

I have an old cobra in my closet with the old innova logo. Maybe I should give it a throw...

 

[birdman101]

occasionally i pull out a cheetah (old stamp on it) i found, but its like 149g so I tend to flip it and watch it roll which doesn't do much for me

I'm assuming the Hammer is older, and I know the Jaguar is. The wizard does not have any engravings on the bottom, but I don't have another wizard to compare it to. The fourth is a Millenium Tachyon with a Ching Sniper Y2K special edition stamp, and a Mid Atlantic Disc Club stamp for the 1998 Disc Golf Pro Series. I might have to look to the "What is the story on this disc" thread for answers on the last one.
