i was wondering, is there a raise in price for the titanium plastic or is it the same price of esp plastic? thanks

They raised the prices on it. I have seen them from $16.99-$20.

i have been feeling left out of the Ti plastic frenzy (Ti Nukes, Wasp, etc.)

so I have been looking for a Buzzz, but.... I cant find any that are

1) a color, so that you can find the disc, other than when its in your bag
2) a weight that is light enough, for my wimpy beginner arm

so instead, today I just ordered a 168 Ti Stalker in light blue

we will see how that works for me

Just picked up my Ti Wasp (Gold), happy as a clam. Got it at Olympic Discs, holy crap they are starting get a lot of plastic in that store.

Olympic Discs is really stepping up with the inventory!
and they have good prices also!

Now I just need to step up my skills
So I can throw some heavier discs
Then I could buy more discs there

sometimes its pretty hard to find the perfect combination

disc
plastic
weight
color

been throwing a bronze/orange ti "Nate Doss" buzzzzzzzz. I found that it is way more understable than my light green esp buzzzz. It is flat as an arizona mesa on top and fills a midrange need, but was expecting it to react between my wasp and buzz. anyone have the same experience?

Very interesting

Are the the same weight?

That's some good info
because I have zero Ti plastic experience

I'll chime in to say, don't assume that getting better necessitates throwing heavier plastic, I've been playing for 8 years and I find myself throwing lighter plastic every year as my control gets better. I just started driving with 150 class plastic and the extra 40 feet has been fantastic.

I just seem to have a very hard time finding stuff in the 160s
if i could throw the 170s I would have no problem finding discs

I have had the opposite experience....I have a z buzzz that is very understable for me if i throw it hard.....same throw and the ti buzz will still come back on a nice fade even off a slight annhyzer release....

NOTE: My z buzzz is very domey compared to many I have seen in others bags and my ti buzzz is so flat its concave!!

I love the ti plastic for its grip (in between z and esp) and its so durable...everyone I know who gets a ti disc cant believe the complete lack of damage after they shank their new toy into a tree..and it looks cool if you like old school bumper cars or hot rods!!

[Jason Philips]

When I throw my TI Buzz it is straight as an arrow, any issues in flight path I have been able to attribute to my throw, my release, or grip. Most people I have spoken to say the same thing.

I have two TI Buzzes and at this point I love them both. The gold one is a bitch to find when it lands but still reliable as hell.

Inconceivable! Discraft is waaaaay more consistant than Innova. Heh.

welllll, you cant use the "consistancy" argument when talking about different plastics. of course different plastics will have some differences which will effect flight. BUT and that is a big BUT, when you are talking about one plastic with one mold over multiple runs, then yes Discraft is extremely consistant with their plastic and their discs.

Heh. If you think Discraft is always consistant... even in the same mold/plastics then you're probably not one of the guys who liked the overstable, super-domey, hot-pink Forces instead of the flippier ones without the big dome... or maybe you're not one of the guys who really liked the 1st run Buzzzzes, but found the rest to fly differently.

Just so you know, my point wasn't to bad mouth Discraft. I think they make some great discs. I was actually just poking fun at that those that refuse to admit that all manufacturers have variances. Even I will agree that Innova has consistency control issues. With that said, I'm always looking for good Eco-star Destroyers without that damned Vulcan-like top.

Ahh good old fashion Destrulcan's. How I loathe thee. I feel the most inconsistent plastic in Discraft's line up is actually the Titanium. I've thrown super overstable Buzzz's and I've thrown some that were Comet flippy. I'll just stick to my ESP plastic and Goldline plastic. Goldline looks better anyways

I totally agree about the ti so far....I have noticed quite a difference in the ti too....so far we have checked out nukes, stalkers and buzzz molds in ti and there is variances in flatness and stability as far as we can tell with our non-machine arms down at the practice field....the stalkers I purchased seem the most consistent even though the tops are slightly different and they're different colors. MERE COINCIDENCE, or UNWRITTEN LAW!!?!?!?!?

I've thrown the Buzzz, the Stalker and a Wasp. The Stalkers are awesome because they are more overstable then their Z counterparts. The Wasp was super awesome because it was overstable like the old opaque Z models. The disc I'm most excited to try in the lineup is a Force. I'll have to wait till somebody near me has one that I can go throw for fun because I refuse to spend the money on it.
