Discraft Nuke??

A friend of mine was talking about some threads he read on another website about a new Discraft Disc called a Nuke. I found some information talking about how the mold was aprroved on 10-31. Does anyone else know any thing about this disc?

Awesome, I heard about this for the first time Playing a night round last night. I am excited to see it when it comes out. Thanks for the feedback.

Anyone have a nuke they are willing to let go of?

Is this Discraft's answer to the Innova Katana? Or do they at least show similar flight characteristics? I've seen a few big throws w/ Katanas and like where this trend is going. Big rim, understable, farther!

[Brandon Swanson]

I don't think it's an "answer" It's not like they spontaneously pop these things out...both companies probably always have a 'faster/longer' in the works at any given time.

I have heard that the Nuke pushes the rim out to the maximum allowable thickeness per PDGA standards. Someone here noted that Dave Dunipace of Innova said he'd never create a disc with the max thickness, so it will be interesting to see if his words hold. If they didn't I don't think it'd be a character flaw by the way. Just a case of "never say never." :-)

Now that they're at the max thickness the question becomes, "where does disc technology go from here." Or are the days of faster and longer gone for a while and we buy what's out there. I wouldn't mind if the new releases settled down a little actually. I'd stop worrying if other competitors had a distance edge on me because they mastered the newest disc. That said, I can't wait to master the new Katanas I just got in the mail! :-)

sounds sweet and as much as i want one i think i might stick with the surge. a new disc cant solve all my problems (just most of them)

[Blazo]

what's the speed rating of the nuke? faster than the katana?

[AK Discer]

I'm curious to know that as well...by the sounds of all the hoopla, their near the same speed.

Just like any other disc, this will not be the magic disc that makes me turn pro. I will pick it up, love it, but not be able to grip its large rim in this cold weather. I'll get one and use it in the summer.

I've got 30 Nukes for sale. In my possession, on the shelves at the Throw Shop already. I'll have some at league tomorrow night if I'm there.

save one for me, ill be out there the day after Christmas at the mills

[Ben Calhoun]

Oh they'll be long gone by then. At this rate, they'd be gone by Sunday.
