I haven't seen one, but that doesn't mean much. If it were just an ESP i'd say not too rare, but FLX....???

Too bad it is thrown. It would guess it is 1 of 3 or so in existence, just a guess. So yes very rare. What'd you pay, $30?

That is what I figured. I guess I just need to play and practice more. Darn, I need to play disc golf.

So are X 2's no longer being made? I see them occasionally in stores, but I thought you, or someone, told me a long time ago that they're no longer being made. My favorite disc of all time by the way...

X2's were cut long ago. If you like them, buy all of them when you see them.

Default discraft in stores

none of the local stores here carry discraft. i can get them off of ebay and such, but it would be nice for play it again sports where to carry some. or even a general selection like innova does at dick's sporting goods. there was a couple of guys selling them as vendors at the course during the summer. but i think they either gave up or sold the rest on ebay.

The discraft table at BG AMs last year had stacks of FLX Avengers so they have been in the works for a while. I have one that I threw about 5 times and came to the conclusion that its way too stable to be any use for me. Its almost Z Pred stable which isn't what I was looking for in an Avenger.

Default Re: FLX Plastic more overstable than ESP

Here is a question for you Hero...

Why does the FLX plastic make the mold more overstable. Such as the FLX XL's and the FLX Flash that you threw? And is this fact what is keeping more discs from coming out in the FLX plastic?

I have yet to hear of a FLX disc being equal or less stable than it's ESP brother. Except maybe the Buzzz. But a FLX Wasp does sound like a good compliment to a ESP Wasp!!!

Are you happy with the decision?
Why are you carrying 3 different types of challengers? What are the differences that you have noticed between the cam todd/soft/d?

yea i am happy with the decision, it should make for a fun year.
i carry 3 different challengers due to the fact that i dont have any esp one yet(cant wait to have those when they come out eventually)also i dont have any elite x challengers left from prior to being sponsored by innova. i use the cam todd for longer shots it has a little more glide than others, the soft one i use for anhyzers it holds the line really well and it also sits quite nicely, the d is used for short shots mostly, it just doesnt hold up to all the woods that i play in to be the main throwing putter for me.
