So Des is a 3 timer now and as far as I know there is not a disc with her name on it. Am I correct?

A while back I heard a rumor that her name was going on the Orc?

Innova made a limited run of Des Reading Wraiths. Evidently 100 were made...

I think she deserves her own permanent run of discs.

Agreed!

I'm sure if she was with any other company they would give her a signature disc. ;) :D

i think with Innova the bar is set a little higher. 3 World Titles just may get it done :D

What does she throw ?

What Putter ?
What Mid-Range ?
What other Driver ?

I think Juliana won 1 or 2 Worlds before coming over to Innova. That's before my time, so I am not sure. But there were definitely 3 time JK Aviars, not sure if there were ever 3 time Valks.

Whatever Des threw FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY EIGHT feet in distance, give her that! That's awesome, Des!

I once had a 3x JK Pro stamped Pro Valk... unfortunately it went swimming :(

I have one of those but you can't read the stamp, paid four bucks for it.

It just so happened to be a wraith...

I know the guy selling them...nice price...

I could always ask her to sign one of my Aviars !!! :D

mine mysteriouly dissappeared in a mowed field. we looked for it for hours and nothing. i don't think any of the 4x or 5x fly the same.

I am holding my champ beast right now and it has Barry Schultz on it. He has won worlds twice. He has also won USDGC twice, but as far as the disc is concerned it only say 2 time disc golf world champion, which means 3 for Des is definatly enough. As long as they dont put her name on the Aviar. I cant handle another different aviar to choose from.

No one's name is on the beadless aviar...

Does anyone know what she threw 438 feet? That is unreal. What a crush. Is this a women's record? If not its got to be one of the longest.

Jen Griffin threw 456 feet in June '05.

I'm about 90% certain it was a Wraith.

Check my previous posts...Yeti said it was a Wraith...

What does he know? :)

There was a Barry World Champ Beast before the 2X BS Beast

There was a Barry World Champ Beast before the 2X BS Beast



Which just gives more reason for Des to get her own disc since she has won it 3X. He won it once and got his name on a disc, so why not a full production Des disc?

Dont forget the barry shultz leopards.

...wish I had a limited edition BS Bulldog...or was it a BS Devilhawk?

i think the bar is a 3 Worlds minimum for protected divisions.
One Open Worlds title and one USDGC in the same year seemed to be more than enough too...

A Dazzling Des Disc would be a nice addition to my collection :DSo what's the hold up INNOVA :confused:

if they make it...we will throw it....

...And collect them and sell them on Ebay for 5 times what we paid for them when they switch to a new blend of plastic. I agree though it is time to try at least a couple and see if we can't come up with something. But as far as Barry is concerned even though I am fairly new to this it is my understanding Schultz was so well liked and respected it was almost like everyone was waiting on the first major just to justify a Schultz signature disc.

I guess this means it is time for the David Wiggins Jr. 3x Orc.

Des is one of the most liked people involved with disc golf, and has done as much or more than anyone else in recent times, not only for the games growth, but also its image.

Des and Yeti are pillars of the disc golf community.

She deserves alot more than some signature disc they are basically giving away to everyone else. Juliana has 2 molds, Des deserves at least one.

I agree with this statement, 100%.

Whatever it is, I want 25 of them.

It's time for The Des Disc!

I must be like the worst message board poster in the world it seems everytime I say something on here it kind of comes out wrong. I was not trying to take anything at all away from Des, I totally agree she deserves a signature disc or two, from what little I have seen she is almost always smiling and a very friendly and accesible ambasador to the sport and I don't know of anyone male or female in any sport that finishes consistintly in the top three the way she does. I think my problem was trying to make two points in the same post without a good break in between them. I was just talking about Barry because it seemed like everyone was pulling for Barry to get a World Champion in my 2003 video.

Same here!! They are both absolutely great people!!!

SECOND!!

everyone was rooting for Barry because for 7 of the 12 times that Kenny won, Barry was in second or third...It was his turn.

Come on Innova, what does Des have to do to get her own disc? In the last three years playing Open Women she has played 65 sancation event which she has won 48 times gotten 2nd 10 times, 3rd 4 times, 4th twice and 5th once. Tell me another disc golf player who has done the same :D

wow, thats impressive!! :D:D

I was impressed because she only met me once and remembered my name at the next event. Jay is cool too. They have incredible enthusiasm for the sport.

(Allen Iverson on)"They practice too. They were the first people practice putting at the Victoria Open it was 32 degrees at 7 am and they were practicing. We're talking about practice. It was cold and they were practicing." (Allen Iverson off.)

I didn't want to come out of my tent.

Yeah, she remembered my name after only meeting her once at the Ice Bowl in Live Oak...an event run by Jay and Des. Though she didn't spell it right, I'll give her credit. Both Jay and Des are class acts.

So when can we expect the Des Disc :confused: :D

Why is it so important to automatically make a Des disc ?

Let me mention that there are many multiple world champions on team Innova.

Dr Rick , for one ,has 5 World Championships, Peter Shive has 7, Dave Greenwell has 4 and Stan McDaniel has 3.

It is not possible to give every repeat champion a disc and how could anyone decide that Des deserves a Signature disc more than 7 time Peter Shive or 5 time Dr. Rick, who is also in the Hall of Fame?

HALL OF FAME !!!!!! :eek: HALL OF FAME !!!!! :eek:

Please let me point out that Des is not more deserving than these other guys with more world titles.

I hope people will get the hint.

Des only beat 24 people to get her title, Dr. Rick beat 51 people this year and 55 when he won his 4th World Championship last year.

Hope this sheds some light on the subject.

Let it Go !!!!! :p

THE MOST IMPROTANT THING IN DISC GOLF ( imo ) is getting women involved in sanctioned play. Des Reading is a perfect role model for all the aspiring you disc-golf-her's. JK
seems to have fallen off the scene, why not allow the female contingency to have somebody to look up to, and let them be able to throw their plastic. From a marketing perspective, it is a brilliant idea...... She stays in the spotlight........ The newcomer to disc golf is not going to know the Dr. Ricks and Peter Shives in the world. They will see the male and female open players first, then learn whom the other's are later. Why not focus on what is hot right now.
Possibly you could hang you Dr Rick disc, next to your Scotty Pippen Nike High Tops. I will keep my KC and JK plastic ( hopefully someday Des plastic ) right next to my AIR JORDANS.

THINK ABOUT IT ! Or would you prefer disc golf remain in the dark ages forever?

The arguments against Des having a disc while champions of age protected divisions don't have a disc would be stronger if JK didn't have any either.

As far as I know, only open division champions have signature discs, and there are signature discs by champions of both the Open Men and Open Women's divisions.

There also has been alot of talk comparing Julianna vs Des and how much each person has accomplished.

I'm sure they are Both happy with what they are throwing now.

I don't think there will be any Des disc made any time soon.

We all need to move on to other subjects.

Repeat champions in the Open divisions "deserve" a disc.

Is this Des' third Open title? I think it is so a signature disc seems warranted. But how's about y'all give it a little time? What's it been, like less than two weeks?

What is your compulsion to keep reposting the same post over and over again? Your thoughts are not so important that the rest of us should be forcefed them just because that's what you want. Can't we just be happy, hoping that Des might some day get her own, well-deserved disc? And what other subjects might we be able to talk about, with your permission of course, on a thread entitled "Des Reading Disc"? Would you rather we resume the thread about Hammock's ranting and ravings? Des is an incredible player and an incredible person. We would be lucky to get a disc with her name on it.

We all need to move on to other subjects.



Oh if it were only THAT easy! :D

Check out the "Pro versus Open" women thread... talk about ad nausium! :p

As for a disc for Des, I think many folks believe she deserves one. I think it would be nice, but it's not for us to decide. However that doesn't mean that the chit-chat won't continue.

If you feel the thread is over, don't continue to post.

Innova CAN"T make more repeat champions discs? Really? The smart people at Innova can't make discs with other champions names on them? Why in the world, not? It's not like they have to invent a new mold or technological breakthrough....or do they? Maybe it's all a conspiracy......
