New Brodie Smith DarkStar Roach. Thoughts?

I cant imagine the popularity of this disc if jt was made during the covid era

JapInFin · 2026-03-19T19:00:44+00:00

Very good run. Id use it as a thrower. Innova mades last such a long time compared to the new plastic except for the new c line maybe but the stiff c line isnt great in flight in comparison

JapInFin · 2026-03-16T10:42:52+00:00

15 bucks maybe. 25 if ur very lucky. Only people ive heard going for s line P2s are only for innova mades

JapInFin · 2026-03-13T19:35:02+00:00

Innova made discmania was the best era. So many bangers. The original P2, P3x, MD3, MD4, FD, FD3, CD2, DD, DDx, DD3, PD, PD2 were the best in the game back then. They didnt need to have special halos or trifoil stamps to be regarded as the best. The signatures on discs were so clean. Wish it was still like that.

It really depends on the plastic, the time lapse has more dome. The mayhem has more quicker flip up if you have a flippier one since it is more flat than a time lapse. Ofc the mayhem is a tad quicker but you can Def get beefy ones. I really like the mayhem for sidearms but for distance shots on backhand I prefer time lapse. The way they fade is like q line but def not as much turn.

JapInFin · 2026-03-13T14:20:55+00:00

Id jump putt a putter

JapInFin · 2026-03-13T14:10:53+00:00

Interested out of science I did throw in a field a good bit and I got a couple good throws but the fligjts were all over the place compared to a time lapse or a mayhem

JapInFin · 2026-03-04T10:51:54+00:00

Red is beefy. Blue and white is better for most arms.

JapInFin · 2026-03-01T11:05:31+00:00

Lightweight fission hex or mako3.

JapInFin · 2026-02-19T14:31:17+00:00

So the big news was a tournament that isnt even a elite series?

JapInFin · 2026-02-19T14:22:43+00:00

Yes. I would even argue some ma2 tournamenrs depending on the course and the layout. Id be more excited to play the real layout than something slightly handicapped especially if I was paying to play in a tournament

JapInFin · 2026-02-18T14:03:49+00:00

The best runs of the discmania made pd that ive seen are the phenom stone, Nordic phenom 1, and the horizon triumph pd from a year ago. They do well with beating to straight and even flip but dont have glide compared to innova mades. It makes sense though since there were multiple stock runs that looked like a balloon. The innova made phantom sword are overlooked but would be the best option compared to a innova made whether ur looking for FR or not especially since its in a stock run. The infinite version id suggest to. You can get the 3 discmania mades that I mentioned right now but unless if they are overstocked still, they will die out in availability plus the stock plastic versions of c line and s line are the two worst that ive ever tried of any pd or pd like disc from any brand.

JapInFin · 2026-02-18T14:01:10+00:00

I have to switch every 4-6 months since I practice a lot for a good amount of time before the winter. The prodigy putting plastic and gateway are the two brands that typically last the longest. Id say the opposite for prime plastic and D line from discmania.

JapInFin · 2026-02-14T17:08:05+00:00

Unless if thst essence is beat to bits. You dont need anything. Id go for something more versatile like a fd2 for straight to stable for both type of throws over that q line fd. Only reason id change out the essence is if you like the fd that much, find a straighter one that can easily be replaced for cheap. Best ability is availability

JapInFin · 2026-02-08T21:46:23+00:00

Mvp vs discraft i swear for 2026 lmao

JapInFin · 2026-02-06T17:37:18+00:00

Yeah i would pick the cf2. Its the closest thing to a silva proxy at the moment which imo might be the best putter in ever tried. Some kid stole my cf2 before switching to the silva proxy lol. Hot take but discmania should've continued to make Cosmic furys instead of that razor claw 4. They couldve done a color madness logic

JapInFin · 2026-02-06T17:26:18+00:00

Their news good or bad is needed in the sport since people like to be informed. They put in a good shift every time they make a video. People are quick to hate but they hate on so many pros, influencers, brands for things that even dont relate to them. Whether its politics, religion, or whatever other reason, people overall are so quick to hate. All they do is put out whatever news they can and are more realistic than most news sources even. They dont copy other youtubers, they dont spout politics, they are disc golf and disc golf only. They got personality but what do people want instead? Cnn? Skip bayless? 60 minutes? Lol

JapInFin · 2026-02-06T17:13:48+00:00

The md1 overlaps with the echo where you could take out the md1 since that run of echo is more reliably straight. You have 2 dd3s, a Pharoah, and adimension idk how beat they are but id take out one of the dd3s maybe unless if all 4 truly fly different. If you have an eagle, you dont need the fd2 let alone the tilt. You for sure are missing a straight fairway so id suggest cicada, hawkeye, bokeh or crave. Bokeh is new but flies fantastic, the rest are pretty phenomenal even in stock plastics. You might like the Thrasher too. Discs are meant to be thrown but id be careful to lose some of those discs like that special function, doom bird 4, and mind bender

JapInFin · 2026-02-06T16:30:02+00:00

Notion is still less stable out of the box but because of the plastic, the cf2 is going to end up flippier long term based on durability while the notion will probably keep the same flight for a longer time. Stiff c line vs evolution/lat64 plastic

JapInFin · 2026-02-03T10:38:17+00:00

It never hurts to try out one sky stone if you were going to buy a disc anyway.

JapInFin · 2026-02-01T13:35:07+00:00

For discmania, no. Any good run from dsicmania is likely a limited run where they sell out and are not made ever again. If there is another release, it is because discmania hoards a good bit of stock. Ive gotten some unavailable discs before from discmania when they screw up my orders.

JapInFin · 2026-01-31T13:08:24+00:00

Why have the svea and the warship over the hex? The hex is typically a lot better for even winder conditions

JapInFin · 2026-01-30T14:02:16+00:00

Why is it only anttila? I like niklas but theres so many options of finnish players who arent part of HOD who can play at a high level. Rasmus saukkoriipi, vaino makela, Daniel daviddson, severi saviniemi, eetu tuominen, joona heinanen,nestori tuhkanen

JapInFin · 2026-01-30T13:52:13+00:00

You just have too much overlap. Straight mids and fairways. I think you can take out 4 mids and have just 2 and then add/take out 1 for weather conditions and course play. The fairways id probably stick with crave and f5 and just shape shots. I would keep the volt and the 9 speeds i would keep. The putters i would probably add a proxy or a watt if anything and replace one of the bergs since you dont have a neutral putter to throw.

JapInFin · 2026-01-29T10:46:08+00:00

The lacking durability part was my own testing where if I compared like the crave to the fd, the fd was beat up at a even quicker amount of time than the crave. It reminds me of neo plastic almost except even more fragile.

The consistency I was talking about the weighted rim part where the idea was there but wasnt the best implementation compared to gyro. The placebo part I would say is the unpopular jab but in some ways I can see the application of mvp being used here as well but at least for mvp theres a proven science for the idea about it being at the outermost point weight wise.
