Kansas Disc Golf Association

So I've been throwing discs kinda serious (every other day or two) for a couple weeks now with some buddies from work. I haven't made any KDGA events yet, which is just as well.. figure I ought to be able to throw decent first.

Week or so ago, I ordered some discs from discgolfstore.com to upgrade the old cheap discs I had. I got a 'lite Z putter, discraft comet, innova orc and a crush Z tie-dye... pretty much randomly.

I loved the way the Crush-Z felt. Wow. And it looked kick ASS! Plus I'd heard (after I bought it) that people that are good really crush with a Z or an X. So I went out and threw all the discs a couple times. Of the drivers I had, the Orc flew great for me. But I really WANTED to throw the Z good, to prove I could. Plus I liked it.

It's 1.8 Overstable and that's way overstable for me, apparently. But I felt like a noob not being able to throw the freaking thing.

So I tried over and over.

Then today, we play Herman Hill (Wichita). Hole 6 is LOONG and by the river. Me and 2 buddies throw. 3 drivers in the river in the space of 3 minutes. I was the first retard to throw in the river, but I dunno WHAT they were thinking...

I walked back to the tee, pissed off, and my Orc was in there with that "told ya so" kinda look on his face.

"bastard", I thought. I picked it up and thew the rest of the course with it. I guess I'm still a big time newbie, cause I threw WAY better with the Orc.

Needless to say, I ordered up a couple more Orcs. I've learned my lesson.

Order from Discs Unlimited Dennis will have your stuff at the door in two days for sure.........and he's cheap!!!

I agree, some of the newer Crushes are OVERSTABLE!!!

I have 2 Reds who think that they are Preds. I have 1 older red that has been around the block for a while that is my go to bomber!

Here is what I have noticed on the Crush. If the plastic is "Clear" any color, they are less stable. If it is Opaque they are more stable.


On the X crushes. Orange=Flippy Yellow=Stable


If you don't have the arm for the Crush, you should try the Flash.

What about white? Just got a white one at KCWO...

I don't have a white one so I don't know? I have watched Eric and Chad both throw them and they seem pretty stable.

Ok smitty, on your periodic table of colors and stability, where are the peach ones on your list???

The Z Crush is a bomber forehand disc if you can learn to throw it and it'll keep you out of the river on hole 6 at Herman if you're right handed. The Crush is a little too stable for my weak ass noodle armed backhand but it is my $ FH disc and I find myself throwing it on more and more holes lately. I can't count how many discs I chucked in the drink on #6 until I finally figured it out and now I can even manage a par on that long sucker once in a while, which even a few months ago I never would have thought possible for me.
