The plastic looks like Champion or Z, is that what it feels like? (Except for the putter of course)

I agree, but why hasn't anyone put out a putter named Butter?

So anyways, about ABC discs...
Keith, do they still have a crucifix molded underneath with the manufacturer's information? I saw that on some of their prototypes and it seems a bit unnecessarily evangelical to me.

Yeah the cross is molded in the plastic of all the discs. To each his own ya know.You can always turn it upside down & look at it that way.
On another note I played a round today before I opened the shop & threw some of these discs. I really dig "The Mission" I knew I would when I first felt it,cause it feels like a champ roc. I parked hole #1 first throw, so of course I really like it more now. Very responsive,does what you tell it to.
the other mid range "The Flying Squirrel" flew great as well the rim is very similar to a drone, which Im not a huge fan of,but flies real nice & stable,leaning more towards the over stable side of things.
"The Secret Weapon" is really awesome driver. I parked #13 & #16 with it today throwing a back hand, which for me,lately, is pretty far.
"The Gamma Ray" driver is an over stable driver without a wide rim,feels real good in your hand. This first run that we have is super gummy but I spoke to Don,the owner of ABC Discs,and due to the plastic being too hard to keep consistent the production line plastic will not be the same. It will be more rigid. I personally liked it, it feels weird with a power grip cause the disc looks like it will just turnover,but it holds its line good & comes back every time. Collector factor,is pretty big too since this type of plastic will not be available again.
So far my R&D for ABC is A ok. I didn't have too many doubts after talking with Don and realizing his PDGA # is 4320 and he just hosted the Worlds that he's been around the sport and knows what's up.
Come on down & test drive yours today, I don't think you'll be too disappointed. The plastic will be available in Bronze,silver,gold,& platinum we currently have the money putter in bronze & the rest of the discs are in gold. :cheers:

I am intrigued now because of your personal experience and research.

I'm really digging the Swan putter by the Northman Company, we have them in @ Chainbangerz right now. A good feeling straight putter and I really like them for 30-50 footers.

We ?
Did you buy into the store, or are you Keiths beyatch now ?
I did like the way the Swan felt in my hand when I was there last week.
The Money putter didnt feel as nice.
I threw both at the test basket from the end of the racks, Swan went left, Money went in, dead center.
I would have got a Swan,or a Money, just for shits and grins, but I had already picked out the Ridge I wanted, and there was no point trying to learn two new P&A's at the same time.

Z Nukes are back in stock.
Is there any under 170 grams yet ?
Since you're in the loop now, can you call Ellis and see when he might have some lighter ones for us mortals.
And ask him about the color vs. stability, is he experimenting with the runs of Z Nukes ?

Looking I see a couple of them at 170 and a couple more at 171 and the rest heavier. lol, I wouldn't say I'm in the loop, I'm merely an employee and I don't do the ordering. I'm sure Keith would be more than happy to answer your questions when he gets back. :)

The Flying Squirrel is an awesome midrange by ABC discs as well. Liked the Mission too! The FS is a longer roc, straight right out of the box. The Mission reminded me of a Buzz but I don't like the way Buzz's feel in my hand.
