Introducing the New TRAVELER by Full Turn Discs

One comment

It’s always fun to see new disc manufacturers pop into the scene, vying for attention in a market full of new discs and fueled by an exploding mass of players. FULL TURN DISCS comes onto the scene as a partner with the well known Finnish disc maker, PRODISCUS.

With their flagship mold, the TRAVELER, Full Turn introduces another overstable distance driver into the market. Here are the flight ratings on the Traveler:

  • Speed: 9.0
  • Glide: 4.0
  • Turn: 0.0
  • Fade: 2.0
  • Primary Use: Distance Driver
  • Stability: Overstable
  • Recommended Skill Level: Everyone

The Traveler is available in two plastics: Priority and Express. Express is the premium plastic choice and is the more solid, while Priority is a more translucent blend, but both feel comfortable in the hand. When picking up the discs, you will notice a familiarity if you’ve thrown Prodiscus plastic before. Though not built for huge distances, it fills a nice niche between fairway and distance drivers where control is important. When released on a low flight path, it can hold a very steady line before a sudden fade. When thrown with more of a hyzer, it can fly a solid curve. It could be used for similar purposes as the popular Saint or Undertaker discs.  Take the Traveler for a few flights and see what you think!  And we welcome FULL TURN DISCS into the fold!

Two Hot New Releases–Prodigy A2 and Kastaplast Grym X

Leave a comment

Today we feature two different new release discs from two different manufacturers. The Prodigy A2 and the Kastaplast Grym X are now available for your enjoyment!

Prodigy A2

Prodigy A2

The Prodigy A2 is the third disc to be released in the new “Approach” Series in the Prodigy lineup. Its flight seems to be true to its name when compared with the A1 and A3. The simplest way I can think to describe it is it releases straight like an A3, but it dumps near the end like an A1. Like the other “A” series discs, the A2 has a nice rim that is comfortable in the hand and releases well. Prodigy throwers should be happy with this new disc.

Kastaplast Grym X

Kastaplast Grym X

The Grym X release has had a lot of hype for the Kastaplast fans, and from what we can tell it should live up to it. I found the Grym X to be pretty overstable right out of the box, but what I couldn’t believe is how well it seemed to glide. It felt like distance came very easy with this disc. I can see this becoming the new go to distance driver for Kastaplast throwers, and it may convert some others too!

Ricky Wysocki Driving Tips

Leave a comment

The mechanics for driving, putting, and approach shots are really pretty similar, just on a different scale. Professional disc golfer Ricky Wysocki gives a few tips to improve mechanics and disc golf driving distance for backhand throws, forehand throws, and rollers.

A few general driving tips:

  •  Use a straight forward run up. Line your shoulders up and run up in the direction you want to throw.
  • Don’t throw across your body. It’s bad for your back and bad for consistency.
  • Get your timing right. Driving distance and power is all about getting the mechanics right.


Backhand Drives:

  • Driving is all about timing and weight shift using both lower and upper body to maximize potential.
  • Straight back, and straight forward.
  • Don’t curl your wrist.
  • Throw essentially the same shot for a hyzer or anhyzer, just place your body in a different position.
  • Get a full reach back. You will get more power when you’re fully extended and reaching all the way back. Fully extend on the reach back and on the follow through.
  • Timing issues are best fixed with time, and practicing in the field.

Sidearm Drives:

  • The form between sidearm and backhand is actually pretty similar.
  • Reach all the way back and forward with your follow through in the direction you want to throw.
  • Keep your elbow tucked in close to your body right before you throw.
  • Lock your wrist to control the angle.

Plastic Addicts–Brand New Brand with Brand New Discs!

Leave a comment

Plastic Addicts Logo

There is a new name in the disc golf manufacturing world! Plastic Addicts is here with two hot new discs, the Intervention and the Habit. Plastic Addicts has been one of the top disc golf retailers in the Midwest for several years, and now they are looking to become even more of a household name with their new line of discs.

Top Line Intervention

The Intervention is a nice overstable distance driver that flies fast out of the hand. It glides well, and has a very dependable fade. Bigger arms should have no problem finding a slot for this disc in their bag.

Top Line Habit

The Habit is a stable to understable putt and approach disc, and it is money. This super wide rimmed disc is possibly the most glidey approach disc I have ever had the pleasure of throwing–and it really is a pleasure. The Habit is smooth out of the hand and goes for days. Already it has been a hot seller, and I think when the word gets out about this disc, we are going to have a hard time keeping it stocked!

One great thing about these Plastic Addicts discs that stood out to me the first time I held one is their plastic. Both the Top Line and the Main Line plastics feel great in the hand. For a company that is just getting started in the manufacturing business, I am very impressed by this first release. We are super excited to see what comes next from the guys at Plastic Addicts!

State of Disc Golf Survey – Personal Disc Inventory

Leave a comment

In the State of Disc Golf Survey 2016 results, we caught an interesting glimpse of how many discs players own vs. how many lost, and how many found. For those who attach themselves to their favorite discs, and for those who collect special edition discs, the loss factor can be an irritating one– especially when the discs are clearly marked with a name and phone number. According to the survey, most players are courteous enough to give the original owner a call when the information is marked on the disc.  67.7% replied that they, “Try to return them to the owner, but keep them if I can’t make contact.” 34.8% said that they return the disc to a lost and found.

When it comes to how many discs lost, and how many discs are found, here are the statistics gathered in the survey:

Most of those who replied claimed to have lost somewhere between 1-6 discs in the year 2015. Quite a number claimed to have lost none. From these results, we can see that most of us lose discs, but not in extreme quantities. The question then becomes this: Are those discs found and added to another bag?

 

Most of the players who responded claimed to have found and kept either zero discs, or only 1-3 discs.  Given the chart comparisons, it would appear that not quite as many discs are found as are lost, meaning that most of us come out on the losing end of the lost-and-found equation.

By a large margin, we add many more discs to our bags through retail purchases, both in brick-and-mortar stores and online. These are the numbers provided by players in regards to the number of discs purchased in the year 2015:

0 discs 3.9%
1-3 discs 7.8%
4-6 discs 11.6%
6-9 discs 13.1%
10-14 discs 18.7%
15-19 discs 11.7%
20-29 discs 13.4%
30-39 discs 7.2%
40-59 discs 6.9%
60-79 discs 1.6%
80-99 discs 1.2%
100-149 discs 1.8%
150-199 discs .4%
200+ discs .6%

There appears to be a very equal spread through the quantities, with a few people buying more than 100 discs in a year. So, with those purchases, how many total discs do most of us own?

0 discs .2%
1-3 discs .5%
4-6 discs 1.1%
6-10 discs 4.1%
11-15 discs 6%
16-20 discs 7.4%
21-30 discs 16%
31-40 discs 12.8%
41-60 discs 15.7%
61-80 discs 8.1%
81-100 discs 7.6%
101-149 discs 7%
150-199 discs 3.5%
200+ discs 10%

Again, there is a pretty equal spread, with most of us owning between 20 and 60 discs. There is a solid 10% who own more than 200 discs. Those are undoubtedly the players who cross over into the realm of disc aficionado and enthusiast. Some of us simply can’t resist new plastic!
