thought it would be fun for all and a great way for you older classy folk to pick on some of us young punks!

I always thought it would be cool to play a tournament at the Lake Murray Lodge with some Wham-Os. The cone baskets out there are classic. Superclass sounds equally as fun.

Condor, Lynx and Jaguar are too low profile and bevel edge for Super Class. The Zephyr is currently the most versatile Innova disc for Super Class. The new Te Moko from New Zealand is a slightly more stable version of the Zephyr with flight rings and it's available in the 180g+ weights. I've seen it at a few online retailers.

I just did a web search on "Te Moko disc" and found a half dozen online retailers that appear to have some in stock all in the 180g+ weight range. Great alternative, especially for putting, if you can't find any Zephyrs.

thanks for the help Chuck. i think i might look into getting a "te moko" disc. In your knowledge, would you say it is one of the most stable superclass discs, and what would you say is the MOST stable superclass disc you have thrown or know about.

I'd say the Te Moko is the most stable but only maybe a 1 on the stability scale. I think this is an area where the manufacturers have an opportunity to innovate. Current SC discs are mostly neutral to understable depending on weight. I think the best SC roller design hasn't been developed yet and it will be interesting to see how some existing models will fly once the manufacturers make them in much heavier weights. The Sky Pro might be as good or better than a Zephyr for putting but we don't know what a heavy version is like yet. The SC weight spec allows the higher density Star and Champ plastics to be used. I think a transparent, color tinted Champ Zephyr or any of these models will be cool looking and Star plastic will allow tye dying.
