Default Groovy

Got me a 166 Groove today from the depot. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow at the couples gig.

Jub, It's actually not a Monarch bottom.

Not bad much like a faster Destroyer. hyzer flip flat, float, float, float, float, float, fall off, minimal skip. easier to throw than a boss if you get the speed behind it. can be turned over but as it slows it will come back. It has made it into my bag, may even replace my boss.

Definitely not a boss top with monarch bottom. However it is recycled monarch technology, nothing wrong with that. I threw a 166 grove and thought it flew like a flippyish bosses. Not a huge change, still pretty stable, I'd like to see it in Star or Pro plastic.

Am I the only one thats thrown a groove and though it was as slow, or slower than a Wraith? Not that a Wraith is slow, it's just no where near as fast as a Boss...

I haven't thrown one but I did get a chance to feel a few. They were made with some to the hardest champion plastic I had ever felt. I really hope more discs come out with that plastic. An eagle x would be amazing in the super stiff champion. I don't know how they got it through the flexibility standards.

I have half a dozen USDGC Bosses that a buddy brought back with him from there. They are in the super stiff Champion plastic. I actually am not too found of it. I am a disc snob, and love very specific styles of plastic like CFR Glow and CE, and dark blue Star ( ask anybody who has thrown with me or seen my 400-500 discs! ). That stiff plastic is actually not very durable. It is the only disc on my bag that I won't throw when the temp goes below 10 ( like it is now ) due to it being brittle even in warmer temps.
