    The basilisk came in a tournament pack I played in a few months back, it was an accident from the tournament director haha. He told us “you might as well use it as a dog toy or give it to a 6 year old cause it’s near useless”. It’s genuinely the strangest disc I’ve ever held. So much pop top and really odd plastic. I was messing around with it in field work one time and threw a sky roller that actually flipped upside down then all the way back to right side up all while it was still in the air.

    I have a theory about factory-seconds, that they might just be the first discs they pump out once the the mold is on it's way to being up to optimal operating temperature, A mold too cold can have the plastic start to cool sooner, while still in the mold, affecting it's dome. And them not even bothering to put a stamp onto them (rather, a F2 stamp) kind of supports this thesis, because they know. It's not like a mis-stamp where the foil is messed up or a second foil is misaligned. What I'm getting at, is to never use F2-stamped discs for evaluations, or even, reaching conclusions (like "may vary quite a bit from run to run"). I'm not coming in defense of innova here - I'm making this point about all brands. When you do evals, use discs that, according to the manufacturer, are within parameters, not F2s.

    • @NickCarroll
      @NickCarroll 5 місяців тому +3

      This makes a lot of sense. The discs may not be damaged, but might be less accurate. I also think this is more a problem the faster the disc is. About 1/3 of my bag is Innova F2 and they all fly exactly as the numbers indicate. But then again I throw mostly 7 speeds and less, so I just think there's less variance in factors. Or those factors have less effect.

      Maybe, but if so innova at least is full of it because they specifically say flight path will not vary due to defect. I have seen color imperfections and air bubbles.
      I agree though, that the specific conditions around molding and cooling seem to play a big role

    Would you please do a comparison video of discs with (new) and without (removed) flashing? Flashing is considered a "molding imperfection" and "moderate sanding" is allowed to remove flashing per PDGA rules 813.01 B 2. Seems most pros I know are very familiar with flashing while most ams are not. Sexton caries a sanding tool with him in his bag for new discs (makes them less stable and more true to their flight numbers) whereas Locastro looks for discs with extra flashing (makes them much more stable which works well for his anhyzer style). This subject is under-discussed in my opinion, and could help many advance their game.

    I bought the basilisk once because it sounded fun and i didn't expect it to be that much more understable than a mamba. Well it often felt close to not throwable, so seeing it as the most understable disc on the list makes a lot of sense

    • @sandonhoneyman
      @sandonhoneyman 5 місяців тому

      Divergent Discs advertises they are for people who throw under 300ft. I bought a Basilisk when I first started and at first it threw great, a little turn and fade. Now that I can throw a bit farther, (but still under 250ft!) It immediately turns into a roller. However, it isn't easy to find an easy roller disc for lower arm speed so I don't mind it. If I can improve my distance it might be less useful though.

    I bag both an Astronaut, and a Thrasher. Sounds like a waste of bag space to carry two very similar discs, but the Astronaut holds a very long smooth turn with great distance for me. The Thrasher is more stable ( for me) and tends to have a reliable fade. I am 58 years old and throw both in the 330 - 350’ range depending on height and release angles. The Astronaut is a must carry at my home course due to a long turning Mando shot, but does not come out of the bag all that often on other courses. I do not have a good distance forehand, hence the untestable option. Thanks for the in depth review.

However while I need to throw it like a 7-9 speed for it not to flip over, it is truly fast, and bombs more than any disc I have tried. It has earned a very permanent spot in my bag :)

    Tumbleweed is one of my favorite discs. As you can see from the flight it's understable but still has decent integrity which allows great Hyzer flip shots and super distance rollers cause it doesn't burn over. It will roll mostly straight. I've gotten my only Eagle with a Tumbleweed roller.

  • @JohnKelly6x6Design
    @JohnKelly6x6Design 4 місяці тому

    Love your videos, but there's another major factor besides arm speed and spin that greatly affects turn and that's nose angle. Working with a Tech Disc since November, I quickly learned, much to my surpise, how much NEGATIVE nose angle (-4.0) can turn your disc faster and make anything appear more understable. You just can't see +1 or +3 degree nose-up in flight, so many players "think" they are nose-down and are not. Hyzer angle is important too, of course, but nose angle is a big key.

    Most understable for me is the Latitude 64 Bolt: it's rated 13,6,-2,3 but even with my mediocre arm speed I feel like it's closer to 12,6,-2,2 or even 11,6,-3,2. It doesn't require 13 speed to get a good flight and even rating it at 12 speed might be too high. It's definitely run and plastic dependent with regular Opto versions being the most reliable.

    Releasing on 30° hyzer is why your understable discs are standing up instead of turning. The flight numbers are what the disc does when thrown flat at the right height. Just hyzer flipping it instead completely is pointless if you release every disc at different angles to compensate. You won't see said turn if you burn it off from a hyzer flip.

Then I like very much, understable discs (not excessively ones, so no of your video understable discs could fit for me, I'd overturn them too much), but I'm fixed on trilogy discs, and I must use as distance (and 9 speed fairway) drivers, light versions of the well known trilogy discs, especially Latitude 64 (I'm, European and find easier to buy from them): Ballista Opto Air (14 5 -1 3, not very understable but beaten it goes towards -2 +2, it gives to me maximum medium distances of poor 70-85 m, but for me flies stable to straight), Bolt (13 6 -2 3, quite a lot understable for me, I have the record with it - 106 m, but I must pay very much attention to overturns), Jade (fairway, 9 6 -2 1, very reliable understable, now that is beaten), two escapes (9 5 -1 2, for me good straight discs), two Diamonds (fairway, 8 6 -3 1, really now very much understable for me, but if properly thrown gives great turnover throws, good forehand anhyzer throws, and interesting backhand rollers), also I have a Sapphire (10 6 -2 1,5), quite old but flying exactly that numbers, imho).

    The Lone Star Bayonet numbers are true. Kaleb threw it on a hyzer. The disc flipped up and made a 2 fade. I'm getting me a Glow one after watching that. Glow plastic is more on the stable side.

    I noticed how different the 2 Vulcan plastics flew and the overstable one was a factory second.
    Would love to see you do a video if factory seconds are true to flight numbers. Personally I don’t trust f2’s and this Vulcan comparison could show why.

    The DGA Sail is the best disc ever made IMO. You can play an entire course with just a SAIL because it's so versatile. The problem is that you gave your wife a max weight disc. I guarantee she will love it in a lower weight.

  • @NickCarroll

    Honestly I think it's best to think of flight numbers as mold-centric, and not disc-centric. I think the design of these molds are what influences the flight numbers, more than any run, or type of plastic. In-mold and out-of-mold cooling has an effect, environmental variables, storage, and a variety of other things after the disc is created. Then you get to individual differences in every player, and it just becomes mind-numbing to hash out the details. It just comes down to each person throwing each disc over time and have them fit whatever slot they fly like in real life.
    Caveat: as you point out, a lot of these discs don't remotely look like their flight numbers. I think some manufacturers or brands probably care less about them than others, and it looks like they didn't associate the numbers with how any of the discs turned out, but likely also didn't even care about the mold design as much as others. Viking has a ton of less stable discs. My friend had a full Viking bag (even the Viking backpack) and played them for months, and not a one was more stable than the numbers. Nearly every one was less stable than the numbers. Not bad discs, but inaccurate ratings. BTW: I also endorse the Mamba as a max distance driver for rec-level disc golfers. I've used mine for a year now for that reason.

    The westside king is rated like -1 3 or -1 4, but is super understable, I'd put it more like -3 1, also the latitude 64 havoc has destroyer like numbers, and I've found that were both way more understable than my shrykes, and I'd give them similar -3 1 or -3 2

    The idea of an understable disc video and a 13-speed are kind of paradoxical. You want understable, throw slower discs until you're the 1% that needs the speed of 13.
    Also, those Idio shoes are awful if you have feet that sweat. "Waterproof" also means water-retaining.
    We need to separate reality from promotion or gimmicks for views. I think you're a good guy, but some of this is beyond suspicious.
    All that said, the idea of finding out the relativity of flight numbers based on company and plastic is important work that all of us players appreciate. I hope you keep it up, even if I sound annoying.

    @dustinroberson1865 5 місяців тому

    One thing I will say is that looking at the flight of the disc compared to the last two numbers on the disc doesn't tell the whole story. I'm only to the nuke right now, but with the nuke being a 13 speed, the only way you are going to get the -3 turn, is if you throw at a high enough speed.
    I like to think of it as your arm speed matching the numbers on the disc. If your arm speed is at the number on the disc, it "should" act as the disc was intended. If your arm speed is under the speed of the disc, then it will be less understable. If your arm speed is over the speed of the disc, it will typically be more understable on an understable disc, but to a lesser extent than being under speed.
    Comparing an 11 speed to a 13 speed, if they both have the same turn and fade, if you're only hitting the 11 arm speed, the 13 is going to look more overstable. A proper test would be to test discs of the same speed against each other.
    The turn and fade on a disc aren't exclusive to themselves. My son can turn over an understable putter, but won't be able to turnover and understable driver for awhile.

      To add to this, since this is a video towards novice and amateurs, I don't know if to many novice or amateur golfers will get much out of anything over a 10 speed and will get more of a true flight out of fairways and less.
