So i was on the Marshall Street site and quest has some stuff made in nike plastic. There is even some of the green plastic that looks like the old school nike spirits. When is Gateway going to use this stuff again? Nike spirits, blurrs, rages would be awesome!!! I only have 2 nike spirits in back up, so if they get rereleased that would really help me out, and I'm sure a lot of other poeple! :)

The nike plastic used in the Quest discs is an S version, which is still a high durability grippy plastic.
It is flexible yet very durable, we use small amounts of it in our Super-soft Putters.

The Original Nike we used for the Spirits was polyurethane, It is used for the soles of a lot of Nike shoes.
Our recent runs of E is the same polymer as the original Nike stuff, we just went straight to dow, by-passing the Nike plant down here.

When the Blurrs and Rages are released this week through our Auto-Ship Program players will be able to see the similarities to the original run of Green Nike spirits, firm on the rim yet flexible in the flight plate and as durable as anything we have made!

We also have some Spirits from the same batch.
The speed demon DT's came out a little more flexible and we will have some Elements in the new blend in about a week or 2.

Dave, I got Kid to send me down some SD-DTs and I think they are this new plastic. The are too soft for me but do feel really durable. Are there any Brick ones left? The one I have flies awesome but that is the problem since I don't have a backup.

Matt I think there are about 5 brick red ones or at least the last time I looked.
Are the ones you have red?
I haven't thrown them yet are they more overstable or just to flexible for you?

The one I just got was pink and yes it was more overstable as well as flexible.
