Ask David Mac about new or existing Gateway Golf Discs here!!!

[29444]

yes, this has been answered before. same mold, different plastic.

Thanks Dave.
I was trying to get it from the source.
It has been rumored and alluded to, but there has been no simple "yes" or "no" from the Man DMac himself.

The warlock/radius is a great mold!

[gdstour]

Yes the discs are molded from the same mold, but a different polymer blend and profile of injection( speed, pressure temperature and hold time).
The combination of these 2 causes different shrinkages and therefore a different feel and flight characteristics.
Both are great discs but they do feel and fly different then each other, especially in the S Plastic.

I have not test thrown many drives with the Radius Driver, only putts, but I know they are really sweet feeling in the hand.

I was just looking at the new site and looked at the blurrs. It says they are available in S plastic. does anyone know about this? I haven't heard anything about that

There were a few Glow "S" ran last time but only about 30, mostly 166-168, not sure who bought them.
We are only running E right now and have the Blurrs and Rages ready for Auto Ship next week.
Today we ran E spirits and they are looking exactly like the green run of nike, just a bit softer on the rim, but same subtle dome.
Tomorrow we will run Speed demon DT's and next week we will run elements and element-x's in this sweet blend of E!

[dgdave]

Thanks daveJ sounds awesome. when will those rages and spirits be ready for the public to buy and can I just give you guys a call to get them?

[29444]

Thanks Dave!

The warlock rocks!

[scooop08]

Can't wait to see these spirits then I'm in need of some spirits bad.

[gdstour]

Ran some orange E Spirits on friday and will run Speed Demon-Dt's on monday.
After that the rest of the E we have will be for Elements and ELX's.
Probably try and make the runs similar to the bright Orange in flexibility and dome, with a few hundred of each a little firmer!

[MARKB]

Sounds like its time to get some spirits.

I have found compared to my rage that the rage may be straighter but the Spirit seems to have more glide.

Also you should make a putter mold with the stability of the Quest Crossfire but with better glide I am really liking that disc for anything right turn but seems to die off for me around 275 or so ... still working with that one. Pretty much at this point the only quest in my bag... still messing with some of their other molds

Which reminds me time to get some more blurrs too

[gdstour]

Mark,
which of the crossfires are you throwing, the blueish ones in S or the black in E?

[scooop08]

Dave I'm throwing the blue crossfire in the nike plastic. I use it for straight tunnel shots with not much power.

[MARKB]

The blueish and pinkish ones in the S plastic I believe

The E ones are not for me, I did like the 10m crossfire I thought that was really not that bad of a putter either.

[Furthur]

Probably try and make the runs similar to the bright Orange in flexibility and dome, with a few hundred of each a little firmer!

Are you referring to the bright orange elements that have the slight dome, and are also slightly faster and more stable? If so, thank you, because I'm tired of trying to track them down . I really like this particular style of elements, and most people that have thrown one of mine do too, so I hope you continue to run them in the future!

I recently purchased a couple Infernos and have a question. The stamp on the front says "Inferno" but when I flip it over, molded into the plastic it says "Raging Inferno", is this an Inferno or a raging inferno? I love the way the disc flys so I am not to worried about it either way. But I want to buy more of them for practice and want to make sure I purchase the same thing.

Thanks in advance

Does the rim feel deep? If so it is an Inferno and if it is shallow then it is a RI.

[questtech2002]

Go with what it says on the bottom. We noticed the other day there were a few Raging Inferno's stamped as Infernos. I thought we had pulled them all, but apparently not. With Quest discs, the actual name is on the bottom of the disc

[rhockaday]

Thanks for the info! Now I need to get ahold of an Inferno or two. I will make sure I check the bottom before I throw them!

David,

I was talking with Larry Bledsoe today about the players pack for BG Ams. and he mentioned that Gateway was going to hand out a new disc never released called The Diablo. So, can you give us any details on this?

[gdstour]

The disc for the player package in bowling green will be called the Diablo-DT!
We are trying to get a slightly under-stable long range driver similar to a sidewinder. The 1st prototypes are getting ready to be test flown today or tomorrow.
It will be a shallower rimmed Disc like the RIDT with a slightly different dimple pattern. The pattern will have Dimples closer together so there will be more of them.
More dimples means less flat areas on the wing, which = more lift, less resistance and a faster,longer flight.

I will post initial test results by starting a new thread after testing.
It may take a prototype or 2 to get it where we want, buts thats the scoop for now!!

BTW,
Always go by whats engraved on the bottom of the discs, but like Matt said, the regular Infernos are noticeably deeper on the rim.
We have also stamped some RIDT and RI's with the Inferno stamp on accident!

[DreaminTree]

Is the Diablo-DT going to be more understable than the E inferno?

Another question - is it still possible to get E-Demons anywhere?

[bfunkyp]

Marshall Street

[JHBlader86]

Awesome, sounds good. I'm always looking for a glidier understable disc. Thanks!

[MARKB]

PM me if you are interested in E-Demons

I have a few pink and a few Red all in the 170's

[MARKB]

Sounds like a useful disc dave. I definately have grown to like the use of the dimples since they do seem to be affective. Great innovation in my opinion, questionable at first when they were like stacked honeycombs but with how they are now definately better

Any thought of maybe making a sabre mold but flatten the wing on the sabre? I think that would yield a great disc...

Especially with how stable the latest sabre runs have been

[Tkeith]

Cool Dave, that is exactly the kind of disc i am looking for to replave the RR i would love to test fly one if possable.

[gdstour]

I am getting the diablo Dt brought out to my house by Chris Boro, he has been test flying them and seems to think they have an extremely long glide and penetration left to right without actually flipping too much.
I am heading out to a lighted field to test fly in about 30 minutes.
They are only 163-167, which is pretty good weight for ams and for going big left to right for right handers!

Thumbs up on the warlock/radius mold!

[sleepyEDB]

Hi Dave,

Have the Warlocks been run in the Medium stiffness in S plastic? I saw some for sale on eBay that said they were Mediums, but I thought they had only been run in Soft and SuperSoft for the S plastic.

Thanks,


sleepy

[gdstour]

There were about 500 ran counting the glow with dancing bears.
Dynamic discs

Sunking!

[sleepyEDB]

Thanks for the speedy reply, Dave!

I'll try and get my hands on some.


Also, will the mis-stamped Wizard deal (5 for $30) be added to gatewayunderground.com, or is it best to call the shop?
