PDGA Approved the new Cam Realty Ion disc today. Picture and specs here: http://www.pdga.com/tech-standards

Looks like it might be a soft putter based on the rounded rim config and flex value. I don't know anything more about the disc or company than what was posted.

Cam Realty, odd name for a disc manufacturer? -> http://missouri.kudzu.com/merchant/9587642.html
Plastic looks like Champ/Z/ Opto plastic.

That is weird...lol...do they give land away with each disc?

Looks more like a rubber compound...

Got to do something else for income if house sales are slow, eh?

Hell yeah...always wanted a mule for my 40 acre disc golf course...I call it course maintenance!!!

Check out the Tech Standards docs and photos for the scoop on the new Hero Guardian disc, Gateway Titan target and Horning's HH3 target.

This link also says that Discrafts Nuke has been approved!!!

i heard that when this disc hits the ground, you see a flash of light, a small mushroom cloud, and then scorched earth from where it landed.

that and trying to throw this thing wearing a radiation suit is a little complicated.

I think Discraft is simply looking for a good "reaction" to the Nuke and "glowing" reviews...

That yellow Horning looks like a tire rim?

It is.

and my friends in OR say that they catch extremely well too.

here is some footage by Mat with a little mixed doubles featuring Greg"Gory" B.

I can't wait for the DKG "Savior(TM)" putter, and the "Holy Roller(TM)"!

FYI....the approved discs PDF reads "April 4, 2009" at the top of each page. I doubt it matters, but it could be confusing. Cheers.

Thanks. I'll get that corrected.

New manufacturer ABC Discs out of Illinois has introduced two PDGA Approved discs - the Money and the Gamma Ray. Gateway has reintroduced the PDGA Approved new Warrior which is the retooled Element X. http://www.pdga.com/tech-standards

That high, huh? These discs are also "way down upon the" list also...:)

Hey, add Kentucky to that list of states! Even though I am Far, Far Away from there now, being born there Fostered an appreciation of such things.

You wouldn't believe how long and hard I had to work to get two different companies to produce discs with those names and submit them for approval at the same time. Whew! :cool:

http://www.pdga.com/tech-standards

Any comment on what they are (other than discs...)?

Traditionally, the Tech Standards group doesn't characterize the discs and leaves that to the manufacturers. You can tell pretty well what they are from looking at the specs and sometimes the photos posted.

Nah -mom was Puerto Rican - I lived in FL (home of the Suwanee River) and AZ and picked up spanish through osmosis - so I think it's cool when someone can work it cleverly into stuff - just as your punditry and intelligence have me searching through dictionaries at times - as it gives me hope after dealing with people with no common sense all day, that there are clever and witty disc golfers out there too.

It's just too bad that most of them got banned, or just don't post anymore (like Felix) :(

Keep up your smugness though Ray - It gives me joy to read, especially when you use it to try to dispute things I say. :)

Throw Long and Prosper

Discmania announces the PD2 Chaos: http://www.pdga.com/tech-standards

Now maybe when i throw in the trees, I'll miss it by that much.

Some Innova Vulcan dimensions were changed slightly and it was resubmitted for approval. The diameter has increased from 21.0 to 21.2 cm along with a few other small dimension changes. The new Innova Edge was also just approved at the same 21.2cm diameter.

I love your headlines, chuck.

Inspiration strikes occasionally. ;)

I find the use of the EDGE name for a disc rather Ironic.

About 7 years ago we released a disc and called it the Edge , soon after got a call from a guy name Jon Lykset who was working on the E.D.G.E program who said we couldn't use this name as it could cause a problem with his educational disc golf curriculum.

I checked around and found out several disc golf clubs had or were already using the name EDGE, but decided to avoid the controversy,,,and changed the name of the disc to the Speed demon.

Hmmmmmm,,,

INnova have changed the name to the Wedge.

The irony in the name change to the Wedge is that starting in 2011, most discs that wedge in the basket will not count...

The name change of the Edge to the Wedge was approved by the PDGA on December 18.

Hi Brian,

Innova Champion Discs requested that the Edge, a recently approved disc, be renamed the Wedge. The new name for this disc is indicated in the updated list of approved discs that is attached.DISContinuously,

Lame Rule as it only applies if seen. Another thread for this though

Lame Rule as it only applies if seen. Another thread for this though

I don't know what the other thread is, but I agree that the change was very questionable. It introduces a judgement call when there was previously no need. I have seen discs enter the basket in a lot of funky ways and get wedged from inside out. How far away does the group have to be to "see".

I kind of liked the rule "supported by the basket or chains", which doesn't leave room for whether or not someone observed the direction of the wedge.

If the rule has officially changed already than my feeling is if it is NOT observed than it should be good,, is that the way the rule reads?

Yes

my supersoft putters have blessed me with wedgies in the past and now my rating is going to suffer

Latitude 64 Digger and Havoc are now PDGA Approved: http://www.pdga.com/tech-standards
Apparently, the Digger will be renamed Pain.

Nice! I love Latitude 64 discs!

The rules committee clearly throws kc pro aviars. Nothing wrong with that, just wanted a level playing field. You're supposed to throw the disc in the basket not at it.

I have wedged a KC Aviar. Odd I know but i did do it. Was putting in a doubles event my partner missed I stepped up and let it go and hung my head cause I knew it was low but it stuck LOL.

Oh and we won by 1 stroke

my supersoft putters have blessed me with wedgies in the past and now my rating is going to suffer

Just ask the people in your group to turn their heads when you putt!

Is there known companies that put "PDGA Approved" on their discs when they aren't actually approved?

None that we know of currently but it has happened in the past.

Thanks!

Do you know if the MVP Gyro is approved? It is not on the list.

The list is current. So if it's not on the list it's not yet approved.

Do you know if the MVP Gyro is approved? It is not on the list."Gyro" is the name classifying MVP's overmolding process. The disc model name should be engraved on the disc either: Ion, Anode, Axis, or Vector.
