There are two types of understable disc in the world. Those that start their life as a stable or overstable disc and then lovingly beat in to buttery smooth turnover goodness. And those that are understable out of the box… Kind of like a few people I know.
Some of you wrote to tell us that our disc reviews were a little long. While we aren’t going to change that (we’re a little anal and like to be detail oriented), we are going to add a quick and dirty summary to the top of all of our reviews. This way you can get in, get out, and get on with your life!
The Sampo is a pretty solid all around driver. If you are looking to slim down your bag to only one driver mold, the Sampo could definitely do that for you. It does a lot of things pretty well.
It’s best at going straight. It will hold a hyzer. It will hold an anhyzer with modest flex at the end. It’s a very workable driver. It’s got a very nice combination of minimal high speed turn and low speed fade.
It’s got some pretty solid glide which gives it surprising distance potential for a smaller rimmed speed 10 disc.
If you are a fan of the Escape, but would like something that won’t have as much turn, you’ll like the Sampo.
Oh, and it’s got kind of a dumb stamp.
If you’d like to try one out, you can get them at the Dynamic Discs site here, or on Infinite Discs here.
Now on to the full review…
When you live by yourself, you end up doing goofy stuff that you wouldn’t normally do with other people in the house. A couple of weeks ago, Bobby at Dynamic Discs sent me a Westside Discs Swan 1 Reborn to review. I set it on my dining room table and every time I walked past it I … Read more
If you’ve followed me on line for any length of time, you know that I’m a huge fan of the discs from Latitude 64, Westside, and Dynamic Discs. It’s pretty simple reasoning for me. I like their consistency and I like their plastic. Out of all the plastic I’ve tried (and I’ve tried it all), … Read more
I first saw a Dynamic Discs Breakout as part of my player’s pack at the Glass Blown Open. My first question to the people at the merch table was, “Do you have any in heavier weights?”. Turns out the Breakout is the newest addition to the “easy to use” line from the Emporia based disc company. It’s … Read more
Breaking story from the AP news wire… Today, a public outcry was heard from the disc golf community. Disc golfers from around the country are rallying together behind a common cause. They are speaking out in unison against a wrong that has been done to them over the last several years. This outrage has been growing … Read more
It’s faster than a moderately quick squirrel. It’s stronger than a stiff and blustery headwind. It spike hyzers over trees in a single throw. It’s not a bird or a plane… It’s the new Latitude 64 Spark, Dave Feldberg’s new signature disc. It has a snazzy, sparky stamp and a super heroish name. I can see … Read more
I learned a long time ago that the only time to make a judgement about a disc is after you, specifically, have thrown it. Not before, not after. The Bard would turn out to be no different. This is the story of how I met the Westside Discs Bard. I had bought tickets to see … Read more
The room was dark and smelled of incense. This was not the cheesy incense your college roommates used to use to cover up the fact that there was a 3 month old pizza under the couch. This was the aroma of mystery itself. Walking further into the room, a sense of something ancient overwhelmed … Read more
