That is cool. That kind of respect a good thing.

Default Sparkle/Clear/Ghost Buzzz?

i think Clizzark knows best

on another note...

I got one of these on ebay and noticed it flies different than my other buzzzs... when I throw it on a high anny line it holds it unlike other buzzzs which might come out @ the end.

have read somewhere that these may be SS and was wondering if all of this type are SS (clear/sparkle/ghost stamped w/ just the picture of a bee/wasp/hornet or whatever it is)

Default Re: Sparkle/Clear/Ghost Buzzz?

there are clear buzzz ss that are sparkle, both with the wasp stamp and with the players cup stamp i think, there are o8 am nationals sparkle z buzzz ss that are red, and there are o7 am nats esp buzzz ss that are esp.

you can tell t he difference by the bottom rim.

there are also sparkle z clear buzzzs that arent buzzz SS, with the same ghost wasp stamp.

36 holes of VETERANS golf and 24 hols of "ace golf on the ridge" made me very sore. Time for some rest.

I'm surprised we haven't seen one yet. I'm sure it's in their master plans.

Default elite Z - Force

My goodness! The red 1st run elite Z-Forces are wickedly overstable. Way more overstable than the Sparkle Z-Forces from early summer. I dropped 3 strokes at our club mini on Sunday b/c i thought it would flatten and run. Even thrown flat into a moderate headwind it was a piglet! It's like a mini Z-Xtreme.

I got my friend a green player's cup Force, and it was the same. I throw fairly hard, he throws harder, and neither of us could flatten it out from hyzer. He uses it now where I use a Predator.

When you say a green PC z-force are you talking about one with a foil stamp on it? The sparkle one's i'm talking about don't have the PC stamp, just the ghost Disctaft bar stamp. Got them in the late spring or early summer. I found those to fly pretty similar to non domey ESP Forces.

The Z-Forces sent to me mid summer have the small production stamp near the rim....just like any regular elite Z disc from Discraft except they have no raised letters underneath(1st run indication). I'm just now getting around to testing these, and i probably shouldn't have in the middle of the round. My first throw with it(RHBH), it didn't even go 2/3 of the way as expected. Major hog leg!!!! I'm not going to even mention how my second throw(RHFH) with a decent tail wind went.

I don't think the colors will matter on these. The dark blue ones feel just like the red ones.

so is there a date for the standard production Z Forces?
Any word on a newer high speed driver, or new plastic for existing ones? I know there are sparkle rogues, but why not run some Z Surge SSs? I'd love them to produce some stiffer Rogues or Surge SSs for rolling purposes.

The PC one had the foil stamp. It is very flat as well. It is freakishly overstable like the one you describe.

Default Re: Flash

I threw a Flash (ESP to be exact) for the first time this past weekend, and OMG that disc is a bomber! I was able to park a 425 ft. hole in a crosswind with that disc. Some guy kept bragging about his Flash so I asked to throw it and man was it an awesome disc. No wonder you Discraft guys always talk about em. I dont know how a new one fly's but this was slightly broken in, and I'm seriously considering picking one up this wknd. should I cash at this tournament. Must give a shout out to Discraft about this disc.
