Any questions about Quest discs (http://questat.com/Discs.html) can be asked here.

We would like to thank all the players who have helped us with designs for our current discs and our discs we have in the works.

Quest welcomes and appreciates any suggestions for any new disc designs that you would like to see created.

What new discs will you all be releasing in the next few months?

In the next few months we will be coming out with the Backbone and Wildfire, which are overstable and slightly under stable midranges, and the Crossfire and the 10 M Crossfire, which are putters. The Crossfire will be a more traditional putter, while the 10 M Crossfire wll be like the 10 M Brick, which will be best when used at close ranges, and will be made so that it will want to just drop after hitting the chains instead of bouncing out. The Wildfire, Crossfire and 10 M Crossfire will all be made at the minimum allowable diameter so that they are easier to throw through wooded holes.

Next year at some point we will introduce our Lazor line of discs. These will all be stable discs, made to go straight, and will be a full set like a set of Irons for Ball Golf. They will each be individually numbered (10 M, 25 M, 100 M etc.) just like Irons in Ball Golf.

cant wait to see the Lazer line sounds like a good idea.!

What is the history of Gateway Discs and Quest Discs and what is the current situation? Thanks

Gateway has been in the sport for a while, 8-10 years or so, while Quest has only been in Disc Golf for around 9 months. The 2 companies are seperate companies that work together to try to advance the game of Disc Golf.

We started to call the Quest discs Gateway/Quest, but to avoid confusion on approved discs, we decided to call Gateway discs Gateway, and Quest discs QuestAT. Gateway and Quest are still working together to help advance the sport to a higher level.

Raging Inferno Raging Inferno Dt Scorcher and 10 M Brick are any of these being produced right now?

Currently we have some of all of those in stock. I know we only have Scorchers in near max weight (174-176 I believe).

You should make sure you have a large run of every disc before you announce a new mold. This would mean you would keep your items in stock and keep the customers happy. There aren't many things worse then the new disc being out of stock due to only 200 being made.

I seen a few of the Lazer protos, the small diameter discs with the square and nearly square rim. I didnt get to throw them, but I did like the way they felt in my hand. At first glance I didnt think I would, but after a little while it felt great. Honestly, I cant wait to get my hands on some throwers as I have always been a fan of smaller diameter mid-ranges and the bottom rim grip was pretty sweet. Alot more comfortable to me than most other midranges.

Also, I dont know whose plastic was used to run the first test Raging Infernos, the pink ones, but Id really like to see those in that plastic for the mainstream, if possible.

Steve or Jaime
I have had a hard time getting a hold of you guys, I sent an emai l yesterday and called a few times today.
Have you had a chance to run max weight infernos??
I have many anxious customers waiting in the wings.
can you call or email and give to me an idea on when to expect to be able ship out more infernos?
I need something to tell our customers.

Thanks Hopefully I hear something by tomorrow!

Steve,
I know you are busy, but there is a great discussion going on under what makes a disc fast, you should drop some knowledge on them!! :cool::cool:

Steve,
The comment is only partially correct as I joined the pdga 1in 1983 and have owned Gateway disc sports since 1994, but I have personally played frisbee golf and been in the Sport since before the baskets were invented, which was in 1976.
So that would make it about 30 years strong and will surely be in another 30!

I still love this game and will play anyone for a double sawbuck!! :D:D:D

I was wondering what plastic the Backbone and the Wildfire will be run in? Are there going to be varrying stiffnesses with the crossfire putter/10m Crossfire? And when are these discs going to be released to the public?

I'm guessing I will be on here a bit mmore than Steve or Jamie.
So If or when I know the answers I will chime in if they are not answerd after a day or 2.

These products are still in the prototyping stage but I can guess.

I was wondering what plastic the Backbone and the Wildfire will be run in? Both E and S

Are there going to be varrying stiffnesses with the crossfire putter/10m Crossfire?
I would think supersoft soft and nedium is possible and will be dictacted by the demand for the models.
And when are these discs going to be released to the public?
once they are pdga approved should be the answer!

The Backbone and Wildfire will be run in both E and S. E will be mostly for the "pro" golfer, while the S we are probably going to be making mostly lighter weights and softer for schools. If there is a demand for them, we will be running those heavier also.

The Crossfire will mostly be a little stiffer, so that it can be thrown at longer distances easier. The 10 m Crossfire will probably be soft like the 10 m brick so that it will grab the chains easier, and also not roll too far if it misses the basket.

Right now they are being prototyped (why we havn't been on the PDGA message boards in a few days) and are going to be sent in to get approved we are hoping this week sometime. They will then be ran not too long after they get approved.

Ok the 10 Meter Brick sounds just diffrent. Has anyone used it? I am 15 and i can throw around 420 but i cant putt in side 25 feet at all. I can jump putt very well. So this whole 10m thing is sounding very good to me. can you tell me some more about it
thank you

It pretty much is like a brick and just goes towards the basket and also doesn't roll away.

Yup.

After only one day with the brick it took the spot in my bag. Absolutely love it--- won't bounce away, won't roll away. If it even touches a chain on the right side its probably in the basket. It is so floppy it will actually stick in the side of the basket--- had one stick first day.
Only one bad thing--- don't trust it in the wind yet.

Raging Inferno= Badass!!! Two thumbs up!!

Jaime, any news on the Lazer-line (Or Lazor) of discs?

There are several discs I have seen on your webpage and am considering purchasing them. But since you dont use a flight chart like INNOVA it's difficult to know how they will fly. So could you describe the flight paths of the following discs. Maybe comparing them to some discs of INNOVA or Discraft would be the best. Even if some fly like INNOVA or Discraft that won't keep me away from purchasing because its more about feel and grip for me.

Raging Inferno DT
Scream 2
Backbone
Crossfire
Odyssey Power Driver
Odyssey Control Driver

I am also interested in the 10M Brick but I can already tell how that will fly.

i have a raging inferno DT that i have been messing with. to me it flies like a fast TL. but you can get alot more distance out of the RI-DT. nice disc. i want to try the RI next that may be the best one for me.

Has Quest thought about sponsoring any players? Maybe a young up and comer (hint hint). Can't wait to throw the Raging Inferno and the Scorcher tomorrow on my day off!

"Ron"

Hey guys! I threw the Scorcher and the Raging Inferno today. I like the RI a lot, very fast, pretty controllable. The Scorcher wasn't as long as I was hoping for, and I don't think it warranted the "more overstable than you think" sticker on the disc. Pretty good stuff overall.

Peace

We are working on the first of the Lazer line or discs now. It probably won't be released right away, as we don't want to take anything away from our other discs that were released last year. We might develop all of the Lazer discs and then release them all at the same time, so it could still be a little while until they are seen on the market. I would say definitally until mid spring or mid summer.

.....and what is special/different about the Lazer line?

We do have a flight chart on our website, that we tried to develop to be easy to read. It can be found here http://questat.com/ProLineChart.html .

From that page you can get to the Odyssey flight chart also.

As for those specific discs, I'm not exactly sure how they compare to the other companies discs but the Raging Inferno DT is slightly more overstable than the Inferno.

the Backbone is an overstable midrange. With higher arm speeds it flies very straight.

The Crossfire is a straight flying putter, similar to the Wizard and Aviar.

The Power Driver is a driver similar to the Inferno, but a little bit more overstable, and is 2 parts like the other Odyssey discs.

the Control Driver is a driver similar to a 3 wood in golf. You would pull it out for "Controlled" shots. Won't go as far as most other drivers, but is easier to throw it where you'd like.

I think what he was saying is that the current chart is difficult to read. I have a lot of the discs and know how they fly but I still don't get the flight chart.

Maybe you could indulge us a bit and share your experiences with the discs, then :)... For those of us who haven't thrown them, it would at least give us some idea of what to expect. I know I've got some RI's and RI-DT's that are waiting to be thrown, but I would be more inclined to test them out sooner if they might fill a spot in the bag. Whata you think?

How does the Inferno have a Speed rating of 11, while the Raging Inferno carries a 14? Thats a little off.

Who composed this chart?

Yeah the RI is fast but not that fast.

My RI-dt is like an Orc but with a tighter flight path. The regular RI I threw was FLIPPY.

It seems you are probably going to get a wide range of answers that conflict with each other. I have heard people with similar power/distance refer to the RI as overstable, flippy and straight....

Not sure if its in the consistency issues with the prototyping or production or what the case may be. I still have yet to throw one however... only held the DT and the regular

I have 2 of the pink Proto plastic Raging Infernos, and if you think they are flippy, your mechanics are off. They are faster and more overstable than a Star Wraith. I have one Im starting to beat in, and it is sick far. We played a Charity event on a temp course for New Years, and there was a 460ft. hole, The tee was probably elevated about 5-10ft, and I came up about 25 ft short. Into a headwind. I was suprised, and MDR was shocked.

The production runs, those are somewhat flippy. Similar to throwing a regular Inferno, only it can achieve tighter lines. The production model I was throwing I gave away. The buffering on the edge was almost half way up the top, about 2-3 inches higher than the regular Inferno.

I found the DT RI to be somewhat more understable than the Pink versions as well. I gave that away also.

I was told there was only around 25 of the pink plastic versions done, as they were PDGA testers.

the two RI I have are both red. IMO they are closer to a blur than an illusion for stability. they will work to the right but they finish left where the inferno just kept going right a long long way. :D

Thats a good comparison. Caker stopped throwing the pink RIs instead mainly throwing the Blurr. They flew pretty similar, with the RI getting more lift, which is why he stopped using it, and I kept using it. If you learn the lift, its a good thing. Thats really the only thing that makes it similar to the Inferno, IMO, is the lift and cut, while still going forward.

How about sayint that they are really inconsistant from disc to disc. I am talking optimizer understable. :D

I would agree with. 1000000000%.
