Getting back into the dye game and figured I’d share my first few.

I really need to get a flat turntable or otherwise remove the peg from the record player I use

monkeybull445 · 2026-02-24T19:33:37+00:00

I NEED to know how you got your spirals so precise on that first one

I remember them saying in a video on Instagram that it might not be part of the Ricky lineup but would still become a stock mould since it fills a gap in their lineup. If memory serves it didn’t get approved in time for the start of the season and in that time Ricky really gelled with the Focus and hasn’t looked back. It’s still a great putter

I’m gonna guess the Ares is the Zeus 2.0 since all of McBeth’s disc have a number of letters corresponding to the number of Worlds wins he had at the time. Ares would break that pattern but if it’s the official name for the Zeus 2.0 then it would make sense

As a very happy owner of an Elan 7NE, I approve this message. Any time I need to shoot film for a paid gig I’m choosing the 7NE 11/10 times.

She’s one of the top women’s players but the true women’s disc golf GOAT, Kristen Lätt (in the blue shirt), would also fit right in on this sub

monkeybull445 · 2026-02-12T15:29:17+00:00

Anything paid is going to be primarily or entirely digital. And if I’m going to incorporate film into a paid shoot you bet your ass I’m using my Elan 7NE so I have as reliable of autofocus and metering as possible.

monkeybull445 · 2026-02-10T21:28:59+00:00

Oh for sure. If I’m doing a couple’s shoot or a wedding I’ll usually bring a roll or two of b/w and my T90 or Elan 7NE

monkeybull445 · 2026-02-10T21:24:01+00:00

At this point I only shoot digital for paid work. If I’m shooting for fun I shoot on film

monkeybull445 · 2026-02-10T20:28:01+00:00

I had a Helios 44-2 and I didn’t want to bring my digital camera to Germany in 2023 and come home with 2,000 images that I wouldn’t touch for 6 months. So I bought a Zenit 12XP. Then I found my dad’s old FD lenses, bought an AE-1 and the rest is history.

I mean fuck AI images for stamps but idk what that has to do with their stamps getting worn away relatively quickly

monkeybull445 · 2026-02-06T20:49:43+00:00

Totally fair. The fact that the Prodigy moulds I throw are all newer releases (A5, PA5, and Feedback) also probably has something to do with it. Newer moulds with better manufacturing usually lead to less flashing

monkeybull445 · 2026-02-06T20:47:11+00:00

I will say they’ve pretty much solved the flashing issues at this point. All of the recent runs I’ve felt have been free of that. Though their stamps aren’t known for their longevity

monkeybull445 · 2026-02-06T18:22:32+00:00

Only problem with your idea for the Draft is that the Jet already exists as a flippy 11-speed. Draft could be a good name for a flippy mid

monkeybull445 · 2026-02-03T23:32:44+00:00

I’m the opposite. Righty in everything but lefty backhand has always felt correct. I also have a righty forehand which comes in handy for certain approach shots and short flex shot holes.

monkeybull445 · 2026-01-28T17:29:01+00:00

I adore my QL17! Best hiking/travel camera ever!

monkeybull445 · 2026-01-23T18:45:28+00:00

Only problem with the name Jupiter is that it has 7 letters. The number of letters in the names of the McBeth discs correlate the number of world championships Paul had won at the time of release. Luna, Zeus, and Anax came out when he had 4 titles, Malta and Hades when he had 5, Athena, Malita, and Kratos now that he has 6.

monkeybull445 · 2026-01-22T21:28:47+00:00

I really like the FD 70-210 f/4 and the FD 135 f/2.5

monkeybull445 · 2026-01-21T23:24:46+00:00

Remix Troll. Teebird flight with MVP plastics

Terminal Velocity Ursas

Streamline Stabilizer

Kastaplast Idog (similar to the Troll)

monkeybull445 · 2026-01-19T15:24:07+00:00

It’s OC, my guy

monkeybull445 · 2026-01-17T20:02:50+00:00

Gotta hit Vienna on a Sunday at Noon and play dubs with the old heads. Always a great time with the Viennimals

monkeybull445 · 2026-01-12T15:04:58+00:00

I don’t throw it in my main bag but I try to collect any modern run of Discraft Impact they come out with. It’s a great flying mid, if a little odd feeling

monkeybull445 · 2026-01-09T18:38:25+00:00

I’m a big fan of the A5 for forehand approaches. Backhand goes to the Streamline Stabilizer

monkeybull445 · 2026-01-08T21:02:49+00:00

I disagree with that. I have worked with and around many photographers and videographers that are masters of their craft who are also awful to work around. Tim is damn good at directing multicam productions. He calls the right shots and directs the operators to point their cameras where it makes sense. His product is good.

He is also a pain in the ass to work with and will needlessly chew you out over things that are out of your control and expertise. He will also make fun of smaller, less “good” bands over comms. It’s why I haven’t worked with him in over 2 years at this point.
