[Question] What do you call or consider a Lid...?

[moose-mdg]

just curious how people use the term...

 

[Mulligan McGee]

I use a duct tape covered country crock lid for playing catch

:doh:

For me it's anything bigger and glidier than a traditional putter. A zeppelin is borderline, just about anything superclass is definitely a lid.

This, or at least bigger+slower. Birdies don't glide much, but I definitely consider them lid-esque.

This was recently discussed in a similar thread: Beware the man that has a lid in the bag...

Here's what i posted: (pretty much anything with this shape, where the flight plate is the same general thickness as the rim/wing).

If anyone is still confused, Coffee can lids look like polecats and birdies.

Slow
Flat/blunt rimmed

Anything not a golf disc! Any disc with a straight down rim used for playing catch. "garbage can lid"

 

[NOStheBOSS]

A disc that could be used as a lid for something. Sounds like I'm being an asshat but think about it

 

[Allurex]

Discraft 175g Ultrastar (USA Ultimate Approved!)

Aww the birdie that gets no love. I remember the thread where the birdie was in quite a few peoples top ten worst discs ever. I for one still use birdies when the wind is calm and always have one in my bag! Other then my ions it is my go to putter.

^^^I respect Birdies, I wasn't talking down upon them

 

[thugjitsu]

This is what I call a lid

 

[atay87]

Any disc designed to be caught and thus not designed for golf.

Just because it is thick or fastback (i.e. SOnic) I would not consider them a lid. This is my opinion, of course, but lids would be catch discs.

Funny story: I was at my local course on Monday and I saw a middle-aged gentleman and either his granddaughter or daughter (same age as my daughter, but this guy was at least 20 years older than me...I digress) and they were throwing some Wham-Os they had picked up. He asked me and my partner where we got our discs, then I kind of gave him a basic rundown of my bag and asked if he wanted to throw one. He said "sure!" and proceeded to grab my Discmania Gremlin and effortlessly launch it about 250 feet from a standstill. He thanked me and left.

So I'm kinda scared to go back to the course when this guy has some real discs, because he will undoubtadely beat my @$$ in score!

Pretty much speed one putters that are meant to fly similarly to catch discs. Ex. Sonic, Superhero, Rattler, Birdie, etc.

 

[blur]

27cm+ diameter..

ultra-star, super-nova, etc. 'ultimate' discs..

 

[discspeed]

Lid to me means shaped like a lid, as in a disc without a beveled edge.

 

[chrishysell]

ultimate discs
