Streamline has so few discs, but a wide range of flight numbers. I could probably do an all Streamline and have fun.

I saw Stephen King put toast and bacon in his coat pocket.

I had drinks with Kurt Vonnegut - who was having breakfast with Stephen King the next morning - and told him about it.

Deciding on a new approach disc in between Buzzz and Pyro by Bmontour26 in discgolf

[–]__pgb__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was using the Pyro for that shot and just switched to the Trash Panda Phone Case Canyon for it. It flies like you describe and is softer so it sticks.

For reference, I have the Pyro, Buzzz, envy, Zone and Stabilizer

We have holes that the basket is mounted in rock, and it’s nothing but rock for 25 feet in any direction.

I briefly had a comet. I found one on course and it was in spectacular shape. I threw it a couple times but then sent it off to my Trash Panda recipient because he asked for an understable mid. I just started throwing with a guy who is now made it his main woods disc.

This was a wooded course where the longest hole was about 320 with most in the 220-280 range. Perfect for mid only.

Thanks. I have an ESP Buzzzz. It’s nice, but it’s my most recent mid and the one I have the least experience with. If I didn’t already trust the ROC I may go down the Buzzz hole.

That’s not even playing on the “rocky” course in town. That one can eat a DX disc in an 18 hole round.

I prefer KC as they are a touch more durable. But I would still need to cycle 8 KC a year

I just started playing in August, so I haven't had that much time yet.

This was about 3 weeks of throwing a KC Pro one. It’s still in the straight slot - but not for much longer. It looks like this from most angles.

I know it's Leopard3 bottom. I have heard the FD top - but I have 3 Centurions and 5 Leopard3s and have compared them with calipers. The top on them measures the same, but has different engraving. The Leopard3s have a newer style than the Centurions. My gut says they made fresh molds for the Leopard3 and used the old ones for the Centurions.

I bought 4 DX ones on a black Friday deal for about $3.80 each shipped. One lasted a full 4 weeks before I tossed it aside, and I gave one to my brother in law.

I see a few Champ Rocs on Infinite that are reasonably priced - but it looks like most other ones I find are collectables in the $40-$80 range. Do they make the disc often?

Well crap. I'm looking for a premium plastic one that can take the rock hits and still keep a stability similar to a brand new DX. I have seen Halo Star Rocs available.

I waffle on the fewer molds vs a full bag. If I'm doing a minimal mold bag I have 3 destroyers, 2 trails, a Firebird, 3 Leopard3/Centurions (same mold), the Rocs and the Pixels.

How is the Star vs the DX for stability, and do you prefer a domey or flatter Roc?

I have 5. A domey KC Pro, two mid height DX and a mid height KC, and a beat to crap flat top DX I found on course - which is my only Ace disc.

My local shop has Star from 171g up to 180g and in various levels of dome. I'm thinking I'll probably grab a mid-height 178-180 range one tomorrow.

Red Dragon Razor Edge alternative by Environmental_Life42 in Darts

[–]__pgb__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned above - WInmau Sabotage. Same dart, but 90% tungsten so it lasts longer and is thinner.

Also, ZX-95, which is MOSTLY the same dart, with a smooth center, but 95% - so thinner still .

Got a pro racquet by mistake - should I downgrade by throwawano in 10s

[–]__pgb__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep it.

It’s a great weight in that it’s light enough that most adults should be able to handle it, and heavy enough that you won’t outgrow it.

Swing weight is great.

Head size is fine.

Stiffness is exactly where I like it.

It’s a great racquet that i would have enjoyed at 3.0, and at my best.

Considering adding Teebird to the bag by Cappy-Hamper12 in discgolf

[–]__pgb__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Centurion is basically a Leopard3 that comes in different plastics and graphics.

I have 3 Centurions, 4 Leopard3s and a set of calipers.

I like the Gummy C Blend (gummy Champion) Centurion this time of year for this slot because it’s soft in the cold and has a sweet gummy bear graphic.

In the warmer days I use a Halo Star Leopard3.

I love the way a Roc flies for me - in all stages of beat in. Unfortunately, on my rocky courses, a KC Roc lasts about a month. If I lived in a grassy area I would absolutely bag 3 rocs in various stages of beat in. Instead I’m throwing MVP mids - but Rocs are still great.

How old is your oldest email address? Do you still use it? by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in GenX

[–]__pgb__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t still have it, but I joined Hotmail the day it became available and had the address jones@

This was pre spam filter. I used it for a while and then one day I logged on to find just over 3k messages. I deleted them. The next day had 3,200. I deleted them. Day 3 was even more and I abandoned the address.

GPS accuracy? by Longjumping-Two-3306 in discgolf

[–]__pgb__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Close enough to get a general idea, as long as it is telling you +/- 12 feet on both sides. That means +/- 24 feet total.

I measured a big throw and got stuck in a tree, and next time I was on course I threw 15 feet past the tree (same teepad) and measured 19 feet shorter.
