    Also, Trash Panda is coming out with a new disc called the Extraterrestrial II, which has a rim that is thicker on one side and thinner on the other, similar to the aerobie epic!

    As usual, an awesome video!
    I threw rubber discs exclusively for over a year at courses around northeast Ohio. In fact, I still frequently throw the Alpas, Interceptor, and Binx.
    Takeaways:
    1. OG Elevation discs (especially the Interceptor) fly into the ground if you rip them. I think it's because air resistance causes the flexible rim to bend downwards.
    2. Once you learn to throw a Binx it is very easy to throw it nose down, even if you don't pour the coffee. This too might be a function of the rim bending only slightly when you take it easy. Great for beginners.
    3. The Alpas is a very reliable backhand roller disc. Plus it has a lot of glide.
    4. The Binx will fly over 300 ft if you throw easy and smooth.
    5. The OG Interceptor is best (for me) as a

    Glad to have made it into the video! Great stuff!
    I actually added three weirdos into my collection yesterday and the weather actually allowed me to take a couple of rounds with them too:
    1) MVP Neutron Relativity - 14,5/6/-3/2. As I expected, despite it being way out of my league, it's high turn and glide make it a workable, overstable driver for me. Good for the wind. Least weird disc of the batch.
    2) Innova Mamba - 11/6/-5/1.That's a NEGATIVE FIVE turn! Oddly enough it doesn't seem to turn at all for me. Yet my Shryke turns for me and that's a 13 speed disk with -2 turn from the same manufacturer. I'm rather disappointed, but at least It flies pretty nice for me so it's not a total loss.
    3) Latitude 64 Zero Gravity 9/7/-2/2. These Zero Gravity disks are super fun for a low arm speed guy like me. At only 130 grams, this thing really flies and glides! Would be fun to see what these Zero Gs do when Caleb lets them rip.

      I love the Mamba-my go-to distance driver! I have it in both Star and DX plastic; the Star fades quite a bit-it’s Overstable, not understable! I’ve been able to go around trees from right to left using it, and it’s really weird how it does that

      @@Jim3Mix Yeah, I need to give it more tries. So far I've only thrown it flat but I may be able to make it flip up on hyzer. Mine is in Champion plastic. I'm getting good distance with it at least and I'm curious to see how it's going to fly for me in the coming rounds.

      @@Alliat6364Premium plastics like Champion and Star tend to be Overstable, and base(er) plastics, like GStar and DX, tend to be understable. Among the discs I have bought, regardless of manufacturer, that is generally true. It’s a better metric than flight numbers; Greg said this in a couple of videos last year, and I realized he was right.

    Thanks for putting my Binx throw on the video! I also throw the Psychic and Binx for distance and the Koi for putt and approach (I also just bought the new Nimbus).
    Yes, these are weird discs compared to plastic models, and I can’t explain why they work for me. I use them all the time and have had good success, overall. I bag at least one every round.

    • @SixSidedDiscs
      @SixSidedDiscs  3 месяца назад +1

      Innova, Lone Star and Doomsday always seem to ship discs with some type of tape on them, I'm told that its to keep them from getting suctioned together, haven't seen it from other companies, but I neglected to remove them, must be habit because all of the ones we have in stock still have tape too.

    I have landmine in my bag.
    Last year after your doomzdaydiscs video I did get one and actualy I liked it very much for some time I used it as putter. But then at one moment I had a feeling that sometimes it feels a bit to light. So I went back to Pure. And after your 10 000 putt video I decided I will make something similar. I have 10 different putters at home. So I wanted to know which works better for me. I throw form 10 meters. My average hit % after 1800 puts is 23.9% 3rd place is Aviar with 26.7% 2nd place is Landmine 28.3% 1st place is Vikingdisc Rune 29.4%. these 3 discs change places after every putting session. My main putter I use is pure and it is only 22.7% So it is very possible that landmine will be back in my bag full time.

Beyond that, the weirdest disc is probably the Lat 64 Sinus. The three thumb grip patches on it are quite interesting.
