How do the beadless star gremlins fly compared to the beaded ones? I really like the gremlin as a midrange because to me it feels more like a driver, and I can give it a nice solid rip and know what it's going to do. Are they a lot more undertable? Something with a late anhyzer turn would be awesome.

Dave,

I was comparing a first run Goblin the other day with an R-Pro Dart and they looked very similar, if not the same. Are the Goblin and Dart the same mold? Thanks.

The Goblin was retooled into the Dart and resubmitted to PDGA. The core is different. The PDGA measurements should be too.

I have found the beadless Gremlin to start off mad overstable (like an old ProLine), but beat into a laser-straight flyer. The STAR one in my bag has kept that laser-straight flight for a few years now. It is less overstable than a brand-new beaded DX Gremlin, but a bit less understable than a properly seasoned beaded DX Gremlin. If you're looking for late flippiness, a beat DX is the way to go. Even better, there are a few beadless DX out there (mine have a So Cal Championships 2006 stamp on them).

BTW - I have a ton of beadless STAR Gremlins & a few beadless DX Gremlins I could part with. PM if interested.

Uh Yeh...Yes I really enjoy the Domey Destroyers and I agree the Echo Star are great, but i also love the CFR domey ones. I can get max distance and still have accuracy which is amazing to me. The Boss's are Crazy fast but not as consistant, not near as controled and skip hard left at the end which sometimes is a bad thing depending on basket placement.
So my looong D driver with good control is domey Destroyer

Gee thanks thats real reassuring that a fellow DGer would post this. that you may jack me WTF and No the discs in my bag probally wouldn't get but maybe $20 each casue they are used for so long. Don't worry about it I never leave my bag just sitting around and if you think your gonna get it from me good luck. The reason I still throw CE is the fact that I bought them when they where $16 and got used to using them so they remain in the bag.

Hey Dave - Have I thanked you yet for the Mako? For me, it flies so remarkably straight, with a very straight finish, which I love. Will they ever come in non-DX plastic in weights lower than 167?

We are running the Star Mako right now and hope to get it down to low 60s. I don't know if DX is feasible because of the rim structure. It would wear very quickly and become very flippy.

Yeah, I'm not interested in DX, for the reason you stated. Low 160's would be schweet.

im very interested to try the Makko. Living up at 6000ft i need more un-stable things, or atleast stable. I think I now have use for a makko.
What types of shots is the makko taking over for people? Up shots? Long KC Roc shots?
Longer putter drives? Stable hyzer shots? Just strait up the middle shots?

you name it, it does it. a bit longer than a roc due to the added glide but a very true flight. keep it high enough and it will bomb hyzers, goes straight when thrown slight hyzer to flat release, and has a nice slow turn if released slightly anny or overpowered with a flat release. its a good consistant flier for sure.

I just tested the Mako in Echo Star and got it down to 165gm. That usually means that regular Star can go a little lower.

Default Champion PD

Dave,
On behalf of the entire DGR website, THANKS FOR RUNNING THE CHAMPION PDS! I'm not sure if you ever lurk over there, but the PD has a strong following there. I think we've bought close to 60 of those champs this week, and that's just the people that posted how many they bought.

Anyway, have you thrown the Champ PD? If so, how does it compare to the first run S-PDs?
Thanks.

Sorry, I have only thrown the S-PDs and the P-PDs. I haven't had a chance to try the C-PD yet to compare.

Any plans on running a champ or glow champ Mako? It is an awesome disc and I'd love one with a little more stability. Thanks!

We were planning on running some Champion Makos. Not sure about Glow Champion. You might try a Champion Coyote for a disc with a little more stability.

A Coyote is a slightly more stable Rancho Cucamonga mold. The Mako is made with a San Marino mold.

wow 1st full day of Huk'ng the Makko. I am very interested. I threw the Makko, Z Buzz and my 2 KC rocs for all shots on course. It was windy and the Makko did not fly into wind (obviously) But I was very amazed at the nice anny glide and flight. I did not dump on anny lines like a Buzz SS that I thought it would be like. It flew anny lines gorgeous like a well beat KC ROC but...but..it went fruther with less Height..Air. So I dont need the same high ceiling as a Roc but I can still get more dsitance of an anny. Very Interesting and good shot to have. It was not stable like the Buzz. If I powered the Makko strait like the Buzz or new KC roc...the mako will flip...consistanly but it does flip. SO I will not use it for Hyzers or stable shots. I will throw Buzz or KC ROC, but The Makko seems like it would love to replace the Anny Ontario Roc and seems like it might perform better with less effort. I am very impressed with the glide, distance and anny angles. I will keep rocs and buzz for strait to hyzers and E Warrior for windy hyzers, but the Makko will possibly be a great anny disc.

Im interested to see a few in Champion....wondereing what it will do to flight, mold....If more stable I would like to see...

Sounds like the Ranch-stable Mako is called the Coyote?
