Yeah sorry about that, I didn't expect it to work and Dixon said only someone lacking brains would go for it. I don't think I lack brains but I was already 8 back of him sI decided to go for it and almost hit you guys in the process.

The manufacturer of the DevilHawk has been under speculation for years, but has never been divulged. It is a high and low speed neutral driver with incredible speed, carry and ease of use. They were released in limited numbers several years ago to those who are/were the most vocal on the message boards. Incredible claims have been made about field and course distances achieved with the DevilHawk, but none has ever been used in an official distance competition. None are currently available for purchase within or outside of the US. That's all I know.

I agree that the Nukes are amazing. Very controllable at high speeds and a nice, big low speed skip. Although the rim is wide, it feels really good (at least in my hand).

[John Keith]

yes the rim is very large, not great feeling in hand as of yet, but the flight is amazing. Matt literally pushed us off the green with a 525ft shot, not to shabby. not to bad Matt, I didnt care that you threw on us, but it did reveal your hand, that you obvisouly had a bad start becuase I know you wouldnt have gone for it other wise....lol
Shott I wanted to go for it and should have. I played safe with a destroyer and threw left hyzer, and almost made it all the way around playing safe, I think with the wind it was very reachable. (not meaning u didnt throw far, becuase u did bomb that)

Was this the pond shot at Tx states I have been hearing about!?

[HUGGY]

Anyway I would not hold my breath for Z Nukes..........[/QUOTE]

Holding my breath.......... How long if ever and why not the disc is absolutly the farthest disc I've ever thrown....

it measure 523ft from tee to pin. There is a nasty pond with trees in the middle that if you clip a branch your sure to land in ob pond. I would say its 400 atleast to clear pond and land dry. You have to hit a perfect S shot around pond trees and or go High over that could take your distance away. Most guys even big arm pros dont risk it and throw to fair way lined with OB on the left. the fiar way safe left still has obstacles and OB possibilities so your shot needs to be an accurate hyzer with little skip so you dont land in parking lot or road over to the left. So it becomes techinical no matter how you throw it. In casual play more guys with pride would go for it and lose some nice disc, but hardly any one risk it in Tourny Play. Matt did and like I said he was pin high about 3 feet away with the NUKE. this is testiment to the incredible speed and glide they possess.

[HUGGY]

It's the hole where tee times start next to pzvillion and same pond where jimbo- (rip) caught that crazy 1 n a million infection. Yes the discs r awesome but matt also has a sic. Big Arm!

I know there are some Swirl APX lovers that will dig this!

[my_hero]

looks pretty tasty Keither!

[jone]

Hi !

We still waiting FLX Wasp, any idea ? I think that this and last season Wasps
are not same than before that. "Old" Wasps are more stable than new ones, True or
false ? On my mind Z Wasp is the same stable than ESP Buzz ?

Im a Force thrower. Love em. But whats with the ones that are super domed? I have herd there are two different molds that have been used, one with a flat top and one with a domed top. I have thrown both and think the domed ones are way more over stable then the flat topped ones. Can anyone tell me something about why these are different?

[Furthur]

I don't believe there are 2 different molds. The domey vs. flat tends to just be the way the disc cools. In terms of the Force, the dome tends to push the parting line below parallel, causing the disc to be more overstable. That would explain what you're seeing in terms of flight.

[John Keith]

and whats up with the Nuke, i bought 3 thinking they would be less over-stable than my Boss's or even destroyers. All 3 of mine are pretty overstable. They are 1st runs, were those more stable??? i like them but I wanted a better anny line from them?
mine all fade hard left at end...

[dgdave]

1st runs are that way. The not 1st runs are flippier i hear

[dgdave]

I'll trade you for those 1st runs

[warlocks00]

Hey my_Hero, can you become my new hero and tell me where i can find a black 1st Run Surge with a yellow stamp?

Lost mine this weekend at Manor, and am still depressed about it! I've got other unthrown first run surges to replace it....but really want another black and yellow one.

im trying to beat in 1 of the 1st runs, if im not successful then yes ill trade my 2-brnd new 1st runs for 2nd runs....

[John Keith]

by the way I can Bomb the Nuke on pancake shots, and I think its going to be a good roller for me...

I'm pretty sure i have a few black 1st run Surges. Not sure what color the stamps are. I'll look and see....then we could set up an even trade.

[warlocks00]

You truely may be my_Hero! THANKS!

[AWSmith]

What are peoples experience with the Crush into a headwind? ive only ever thrown a Z that was beat up already. im curious what they are like new

[gotcha]

Dear Hero,

Did you know Nissan is giving away a NISMO 370Z sportscar? The sweepstakes is open to US consumers who have the opportunity to earn entries on a daily basis.

Check it out: http://nissan.promo.eprize.com/nismo/

(I can't win, but maybe you or some other disc golfer can pull up to a tournament this summer in a suh-weet new ride!)

[my_hero]

Zoom Zoom. Oh, wait.....that's Mazda.

I am interested in some history on the Discraft Elite Z Force pictured here:



Would this be the prototype run for the Force? What year and what tournament were they released at, and any idea how many were made?

From what I've been told and seen all Discraft Prototypes/First Runs all have smooth inside rims. If the disc has raised letters with Discraft and or the name of the mold then it is not from a Prototype/First run.

I have a few of these that are blue, and a few that are red. They do not have raised letters on the underside....they are 1st run molds...and they are OVER STABLE!

Would you be willing to sell me a blue one?
