[Question] What Is The Hardest Disc To Replace In Your Bag?

[zontar]

an ancient Innova Ace I found this summer and lost yesterday. dangit.

 

[CreemCheese]

My old Gateway Demon. Not a popular mold, I've tried everything else that's easier to get, nothing else compares in flight.

 

[Reniger]

3 year old beat to perfection Prodigy Proto 400S M1. It's the only disc I bag that I'd have a hard time replacing. Generally, I'm of the mind that if I love a disc, I want to be able to pick another up easily.

I'm also a weirdo who'd rather have mostly fresh plastic that flies the same as a fresh one so that I can easily replace them. Typically, I'll only bag the same disc for about 18 months tops before it gets a swap. I really don't like the look, feel, or difficulty in cycling worn plastic. Again, yes, I know I'm the outlier here.

I have a 8 year old Z Comet and star boss that I purchased online in my very first order of discs I ever ordered. I ordered a Z Comet, Star Boss, and a Champ Monarch. I still use both the z comet and the star boss. I feel very comfortable with them and cannot imagine getting rid of them this day.

My match in pair of beat 11x KC Aviars. If I lose them, I'll just switch putters. They'd be impossible to replace

 

[InWaves]

my worn in z wasp. I would cry if lost that thing...
or my hyzer flip destroyer. it's a creamy color, so I take it out during the fall so I don't lose it in some leaves

 

[Quinum]

My beat-to-perfection Fossil Fuel Wizard. It finally reached the point where it goes perfectly straight for the entire flight, and it can also be easily coaxed into a gentle turnover on command.

I have a 2-3 year old SS Wizard that is this way. Just like a good seasoned Roc, hard to replace.

 

[ODRB]

A flat 168 gram patent number AJ two-line. This one is just special. I've bought (and sold) tons trying to find another that flies just like it. Out of probably 30, I have found 3 acceptable backups.
I throw the hell out of it. But I'd throw a current run OLF if I had a long water carry or some other similar nonsense. Otherwise, I risk my fancy discs but I make sure to buy backups when I can find them at fair prices.

 

[World Eater]

My seasoned Opto Felon (first Felon I bagged) that barely turns and barely fades.

That said, I reeaaalllly wish they'd put Grip Pures into full production. So far my Grip Pure is holding up fine, but it gets a ton of work and I like the plastic alot. I'll probably replace it with an Opto unless they release Grip or Frost in the meantime.

You're fine; many of us are the same about our plastic. I prefer discs that don't change too much as they wear in. That's one reason I like premium plastic such as Champion, Star, and (to an extent) Gold Line. Gold Line beats in, but then hits a 'sweet spot' and stays put. Star changes very slowly, and I still haven't beaten a Champion plastic disc into changing, and it's not for lack of trying by throwing my Panther into trees, on spike hyzers, on thumbers, on rollers, etc. Champion just lasts...

 

[DiscinFiend]

My baby blue rainbow stamp 11x Champion Teebird. I've had it since 11x Teebirds were in production. Thrown on a hyzer it flips to flat & flies laser straight. I throw it when the shot calls for it but never around water.

Love my ace, for in the woods shots. Can make it do anything, with low power.

 

[ilmcgee]

^ that one

 

[SaxMan]

i have a few id hate to lose. 5x Jk Valkyrie, 11x KC Teebird, and an Ontario Polecat are a few. But id also hate to lose my beat in roc3 and vulcan that i carry and throw a lot.

the KC and JK would cost a lot more to replace though

 

[tdschrock1]

A beat-in stable driver, for me: Volt

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

Lovingly worn San Marino Star Aviar. Don't even wanna think about it.

 

[DoOgSauce]

A beat to snot icon rampage that bombs. I have some cannons that could get to that spot with a bit of work. but it would be missed for a bit.

 

[tbird888]

G9i Wizard. My putter. The bead's half ground down, and the plastic's butter. It'll take years to season a backup.

 

[Plastic Thunder]

168g Pearly KC Teebird that is soft like Gstar. They are getting harder find and when I do look them, the prices are crazy high. It's not that a current production stuff doesn't work well, it's just that I like the old ones.
