Is there a difference in the Z-Glides with the Ace Race stamp vs. the regular production?

Any flight path differences?

thanks

Ask Brenner. He owns like 40 of them. :D

Well, I dislike the look of the non ace race stamp. I dunno, but if I like the way my disc looks it gives me confidence and I'm more apt to throw it well.

If anyone wants some Ace Race versions of the Z Glide, I have new/unthrown ones in orange, yellow, and clear-white (Ace Race Winner stamp). Will trade for Coyotes, or will sell them -- i need funds to finance my USADGC trip.

I don't care about stamps. If I dont like one, I can just take it off.

If they fly the same, I will get the Ace race because Sun King has them for $4 cheaper than the regulars.

Anyone know about flight characteristics?

Ask Brenner. :)

i've never thrown any of the non-aceracers. i hate the logo, and (to correct john's gross exageration) i have about 35 of the aceracers

Why the dislike for the big, jagged Z?
My Hero, can get it fixed. What would y'all like to see on it?

the logo is just topo big. i like smaller more elegant logos, not stuff that looks like the cover of a comic book. but thats just me, and its not all about me.

one of my favorite logos of all time was the small sun that maceman used a few years ago. as a classic and recognizable archetype, it achieved everything to which a logo could aspire.

Lou's correct. I'll have them change that stamp for you Pat. :D /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

35 Glides, 40 Glides, what's the difference?.....and don't say 5. :)

at the rate i'm using them, i'd say about 8 years of play :D

I have been using mine since about mid May...no signs of wear. I love the disc. I drive with it downwind. I love pulling out my Glide and outdriving the chumps with Orcs and other high speed drivers. It is also great for long uphill upshots, tunnel fairways, right turning fairways (for RHBH). I throw this disc and a CryZtal Buzzz almost exclusively for upshots and shorter tees.

The Glide is freaky long for me. Oh, and it's freaky straight. I throw it with a touch of hyzer, it sits up, goes straight, goes straight, goes straight and sometimes doesn't stop! Sometimes almost too long! I threw it about 400 feet downhill the other day on a 275 foot long hole! Needless to say, I was not thrilled. Darn thing just refused to lay down!

Anyway, I also only throw the Ace Race one. Mostly because our club does not have the regular ones, and they have the Ace Race ones on sale! So, my post is no help. You can ignore it.

what are the colors of the aceracers they have for sale? if they're not orangish i just might help you get rid of them!

I have a few yellow ace race ones and an orange regular production one. The orange one is a good bit more stable than the yellow ones that are considerably understable. I still can't decide which I like better.

my favorites are the yellows and the blues. i have lots of the oranges tho. i used to think the blues were fairly stable, but lately i have been seeing them flip/fade more. i think its cuz i have not completely readjusted to all the air down here compared to flagstaff

IMO the glide flies like a cheetah, fairly fast and a little understable at high speed. It is more like a driver than most midranges and flies farther than any other midrange I've ever thrown.

All the Ace Racers the club has are the orangish red ones. I haven't thrown any other color, so I am clueless. They are all right around 170-173 grams.

Pat, i have one blue one that i'll trade for one of your orange ones. The color doesn't matter to me. I just wanted to keep a proto in the closet.

bring the blue one sunday... i'll plop an orangy in the car for ya.

Pat, can you give us a breakdown of how the different color ace race ones fly?

yellow: really straight and far
yellow with slight orange tint (VERY rare color): very straight and stupid far
orange: amazingly straight and just plain silly far
orangish red: ridiculously straight and bonechillingly far
blue: laser straight and steroid-like far

after all, its DISCRAFT

So what you are saying is that they are really overstable? :p

seriously though... the only real difference seems to come from the weight. i carry a yellow and a blue... the yellow is less stable, the blue more stable but the yellow is 170ish and the blue is 177ish.

cool thanks.

I got an orange 174 and I love it. It is sweet. Very smooth flyer. If a Wasp/Roc/Buzz is like a 5 iron, this is a great 3 iron. I could throw it almost 400' on a rope. I hope I can keep it in my bag.

I am finding tons of new discs that I like but I don't want to carry 25 discs in my bag. lol

bump--seem to be some missing posts

Everything is fixed.

So is the Glide understable? I am trying to find a replacement for my beat KC Roc. I liked how it flew once I beat it up quite a bit... It was great for 300' dead straight or turnover shots. All of a sudden it lost all of its glide and just drops after 280' or so. I just cant get it out that far anymore. I want a slightly understable midrange that I can throw at least 300' consistently. I throw my Z-Buzz and SB Roc about 320-330. I really only use the Buzz when I really need NOT to turn over the disc, or there is a headwind. SB is still a little too overstable to hold a really long anny line for me.

Coyote :D

What is the difference in flight between a coyote and a glide? People's descriptions of the two are pretty similar.

Roughly the same profile and grip. Same glide, same high speed turn. Coyote has a little more low speed fade than the glide, but that could have been the fact that I was throwing a 174 Glide and a 177ish coyote.

Those are the exact shots I throw the Glide for...

there cannot be a better description of the defining shot for a Z-Glide!

You need a Comet. Try a Glide too but the Comet is best for what you described.
