Discraft Nuke

Post by Zach Y »

Since I have not got my hands on one of these yet, I want to hear from people who have...

this thing is freaking awesome... i saw some bombs with it this past weekend and thought to myself "where did that come from?" it all came from the disc.
its got a wide edge but i actually like that. levels out early in the flight and just keeps going and going, mostly straight with a little hook at the end.
didnt see any BH throws with it.

Is the rim similar to a boss? As in the width?

I think it is as wide as the specs allow. It may be more than the Boss by a hair.

Well my wingspan is about 6'10" haha. All I can say is wow about the nuke! I am very surprised with this disc. Discraft has definately put this out to answer the boss. I dont think it will replace my boss but it has a secured spot in my bag. My white nuke is the least stable but it is the bomber for sure! I also have a hot pink one and it is pretty stable. The lime green one seems to split the difference but I didn't throw it much. I can't wait to experiment with these some more! :D

I've heard just the opposite, that the white first runs are more stable. everyone kept telling me the nuke was too flippy so I felt like a weenie arm cuz my white first run had a little fight at the end of the flight. just lost it and threw a pink production run-- maybe good for a roller. just fell off as soon as it started going right. so talk to me discrafters, which nukes are more stable? proto/first run/production? what colors?

and I don't care if you haven't field tested 10 different nukes side by side. if you've thrown two or three and know which was more stable, that would help.

Here goes, I'm equating power to distance for purposes of comparison
@ 350ft power....light blue is straight, light red, green, and bluegreen are medium strength, Yellow orange and maroon have all seemed more stable, and I have a yellow which is very strong...The least stable initially, but longest flying was my Memorial stamped grey/white. It seems to have a little more glide and remains about the same flippyness as when it was new! It is a little domier. All seem to break in fairly quickly due to abrasion, but not so fast due to impact! Hope this helps

Regular production run on the colors. The Memorial fundraiser is a greyish white....almost looks like spunt glow...you know, after it's been left in the sun too long.

At the Memorial, we had a white nuke sitting out in the sun all day. I put a price sticker on it in the morning, and in the afternoon when we took the sticker off, the disc had be "stained" by the sun. The whole disc was a bit more yellow than the area underneath the sticker that was not exposed to the sunlight. Kinda crazy.
