Hey everyone! This is a quick look into my bag and the discs I'm using at the European Open! Expect a quick update here in a month or so about what has changed.

@kevinjones7007Ай бұрын
@@brian6speedthe more times a mold has been run, the more space between the bottom and the top of the mold appears. This is what causes flashing. And this is why innova has 10 destroyer molds.

@@kevinjones7007 as a machinist myself, learning this through Jesse from trash panda was awesome to figure out, it just shows that because prodigy was a much smaller business years ago, and were producing their own discs, they had to cut corners on saving money sometimes and unfortunately that came in the form of the molds not being properly maintained. The flashing happens to all companies, I've even had kastaplast and latitude discs I own have slight flashing, no company is fully safe, prodigy just had some of the worst of it because their quality control would let the discs with bigger flashing pass through

(Fun fact...I remember you and I and my nephew (Jordan Kennedy) playing at Bell Park back in the day. I think you were still in middle school at the time. I was the tall guy that uses the Turbo Putting technique.) Peace my bro!

@kevinjones7007 that's interesting for sure. The halo star bosses had overstability for sure but the first champ halo one was so much more os for me. The next couple I got were as well. I like the 2022 pink and white halo calvin destroyers too, and then a couple of the bosses if it gets crazy windy or I need big distance with the guaranteed fade. Looking forward to seeing you get dialed in. If I can get down to something like usdgc I may have a disc or two for you 👍🏼

I have weirdly enough ended up putting with invaders. It's flat, shallow, great in tailwind and sidewind but it's especially consistent into headwind imo. Just as you have found out Kevin, the dimensions are almost identical to the pa-3. And you've prob noticed it has less glide than the pa-3. - Xt plastic has the most glide and goes straighter. It is noticably more understable than the other plastics if you try to throw it off the tee. - Halo Nexus has the same stability and glide as star plastic. (I think they kept the halo Nexus & Nexus in some kind of cavity constraints while it sets. And you can feel it on the inside of the rim.) - Star is great for throwing and it's not as hard and slick as the halo star. - Champion Luster has the similar stability as star and halo Nexus when new. Some of the Luster plastic is so grippy you can almost putt with em, and some are just as slick and hard as the standard champion plastic. Some are flat and some are puddle top.
