First Run Z Nukes are in!

171-174g are what we got.

Z-Nukes coming tomorrow

Yes, you heard us right, the Discraft First Run Z-Nukes will be in tomorrow 7/9/10. Weights available are 170-172g and 173-174g for this first run. These are reportedly slightly less stable than the regular production ESP Nukes. I know we've had a lot of people asking about them. The Nuke has been the talk of all the disc golfers on the course.

New! - Discmania Discs

We've got 3 new Discmania discs in stock: Rush (turning driver), Fiend (midrange driver) and Gremlin (greater midrange).

TD - Rush: The new Discmania Turning Driver is an easy-to-throw disc suitable for everyone from beginners to pros. This new speed 9+ driver has a comfortable smaller rim grip that offers a lot of glide (rated at 5), a long soft turn (rated at -4) and fade of only 1. If you're looking for a disc that flies faster than Innova's roadrunner but still offers one of the best glides in the market, Turning Driver is your choice! Available in S-line.

MD2 - Fiend: The MD2 is another 21.7 cm mid-range disc that will be very versatile to both the recreational golfer and the touring pro. Straight flying, stable, quick and accurate these discs will hold whatever line you put them on. Flight similar to a cross between Innova's Coyote and Mako. Tight and long fairway shots, medium range drives and really long approach shots are not a problem with this disc. Great feeling plus configuration rim for a smooth and controlled release every time. Available in S-line.

GM - Gremlin: Greater Midrange which is a unique driver. This disc falls between a mid range and fairway driver. With a speed between 5 and 6, glide of 5, turn of 0 and fade of 1. You have seen this disc before as the Gremlin in the Innova line. Discmania has taken over this out of production Innova Champion Gremlin model as we feel it is a great fit for our product line.

So, there you have it. Some great new options in the disc market. Great graphics on the designs too. You may want them just for the graphics.

Giving the finger...

Do you ever find yourself wondering things like, "Who was the first person to say 'I'm going to Disney World' after he won the Super Bowl?" (Answer: Phil Simms was paid $75,000 to utter the phrase in 1987). Completely meaningless stuff, but if you're one of those curious souls... Then this might interest you, as well.
Who was the first professional athlete to give the middle finger to a photographer?

1886, Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn, opening day team portrait for the Boston Beaneaters. Yup, that's the first recorded "f— you photo," as relayed by NBC's Out of Bounds blog.

From Out of Bounds/NBC Sports: "It's a staple of high school graduation photos across our land; as American as the Fourth of July picnic, or Lady Gaga appearing in public in her underwear. Giving the finger on camera is a time-honored tradition, but until today I had no idea that the first person to do it may have been a pro baseball player. Here's Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn, a late-19th century pitcher for the Providence Grays and Boston Beaneaters who, among other things, holds the professional record of 59 wins in a season. They played baseball barehanded in those days, and players weren't above cheating, or trying to maim an opponent, in order to win. So flipping the bird during a team photo shoot was no big deal for Radbourn (see it following the jump). Circa opening day, 1886, it's believed to be the first time anyone's done that on camera.
Photo following the jump. "

Drew Miller Currently Atop the USADGC Leader Board

Still a few more cards to come in yet today, but as it stands, our local boy, Drew Miller, that's a lefty, is on the top of the leaderboard with -6. Keep it up big guy. If you bring home the Championship, you have to move up. Good luck to you, Cory Corwin and any other locals who are up there. Here's a link to the scores.

We'll add to the list as we get more. Thanks to all who have supported the tournament. Without sponsors we wouldn't have a tournament.

R-Pro Rocs

Who doesn't like a Roc? Ok, those who throw the Buzzz. But for those who love the Roc, it is now available in R-Pro. Players who love the Roc AND love the added grip of R-Pro will love the new R-Pro Roc. It is great for accurate Mid-Range shots in all weather conditions. Try one when the weather looks questionable, or if you just love the feel of R-Pro.

Now in stock at Disc 'n Dat.

Nukes & STAR Katanas in stock today

Yep, the Nukes are back in stock and in already, good mix of weight ranges 167-174g; Note: these are 3rd Runs, not the First Runs, as in the picture.

The STAR Katanas will be in a little later today.

Rules School

The PDGA is introducing a new feature to their site: Rules School. I think this is a good feature and hope you will check it out. I'm putting the first paragraph of the first in the series - Interference - on here and then you can click the link if you'd like to read further - it really is pretty interesting and helpful for playing in tournaments. It clarifies some things for you.

Rules School is a new PDGA series to highlight and explain each section of the PDGA Rulebook. Interference 803.07 is the first installment. A recent event brought up some interesting issues pertaining to Interference. So this looked like a good topic to kick off the series. The format will be to reproduce a passage from the rulebook and then discuss its background and meaning along with some real world examples to illustrate the points.
Rule 803.07A: A thrown disc that hits another player, spectator, or animal shall be played where it comes to rest.
A moving disc contacts a living object that is unaware the disc is coming toward it or is unable to get out of the way fast enough. The disc is marked and played from where it lands after the deflection. The thrower does get an OB penalty if the deflection is unlucky and the disc ends up OB. This is no different from the randomness of a disc deflecting OB off a tree branch waving in the wind – 300 milliseconds later the disc might have missed the waving branch completely.

For more on the Interference Rule and there is a bunch more. Good stuff.

The Memorial Day 2 Summary

From PDGA.com
Open division tournament leader Barry Schultz, who shot a -11 at Fountain Hills in round one, sustained a hand injury and was forced to withdraw from the Memorial just prior to his 1:45pm scheduled tee time today. Barry showed great class and sportsmanship by showing up at the tee of hole one to wish card mates Paul McBeth, Devan Owens, and Nikko Locastro well before they teed off. The loss of Schultz to the lead card made 21 year old Nikko Locastro the oldest player in that group indicating that there is a youth movement in the upper echelon of the open pro division.

Paul McBeth (-16) carded a second round -6 to hold on to a two throw lead over Nikko Locastro (-14), who dropped a few throws on the last couple of holes to finish at -5 on the day. Devan Owens (-8) had a run of bad luck with quite a few bad breaks and a handful of bounce outs to finish at +2 for the round. Cale Leiviska (-13) and Dave Feldberg (-12) will join the lead group for round 3 at Fountain Hills on Friday after shooting -4 and -5 respectively. Steve Brinster shot -8 for the best round of the day which was rated at 1059.

In the Open Women’s division Liz Lopez (+13) shot a +4 on the day to move into second place behind Liz Carr (+10) who shot a +5 on day 2. Melody King (+12) and Des Reading (+13) continued to play consistently strong to put them in the lead group going to Fountain Hills on Friday.

Robert Ryan (-16) had the days hottest round in all divisions with a -9 to grab the lead in the Masters division to lead the Alabama duo of Dean Tannock (-13) and Tim Keith (-13) by three throws. Jim “no spin” Myers (-9) leads the Grandmasters by a whopping 8 throws over second place Harvey Brandt (-1). Dr Rick Voakes (-4) carded a -1 on the day to extend his lead to six throws over Snapper Pierson (+2).

The pro divisions will move back to Fountain Hills for round 3 on Friday afternoon. Look for scores there to falter if the expected winds come. Stay tuned to PDGA.com for complete coverage and online scoring of the pro lead group who tee off at 1:46pm at the Fountain course.

The Memorial

Ouch! _ Early reports are that Barry Schultz broke his hand and couldn't start the second round - and he was tied for the lead.

Teebird - over 10 years and still flyin'

From Innova:

Officially released in 1999, the TeeBird remains a staple driver among the game’s elite. Ken Climo, 12-time World Champion and Hall-of-Famer recently told us, “The TeeBird is still my choice for most shots in the 325-400 ft. range. It holds its line and glides well. Pinpoint accuracy is why I throw this gem.” The TeeBird, like most of the fairway drivers, provides the ability to go just far enough. Compared to distance drivers, fairway drivers minimize throwing errors.

Flight Chart Rating: Speed 7 Glide 5 Turn 0 Fade 2
