ABC Plastic is similar to Champion or Elite Z, but the Putters are more like DX or Pro-D plastic. Test Flights Soon!!!

2 questions. 1) What type of plastic(s?) are the ABC discs comparable to. and 2) How do they perform?

So, for those who`ve never tried a 1st run disc, when they finally do it is likely to be a surprise how sweet it flies. For those who have thrown them it is hard to find anything to compare it to. That`s why they are so sought after. Not to say that the other runs aren`t great - I throw them myself - just that the 1st runs are usually the best. Sort of like comparing a tasty New York Strip to a Filet Mignon - one is delicious, but the other is heavenly

Over time, as they run 1,000s of discs through the mold, the mold begins to slowly wear out - basically, the molecules are being stripped away, so each subsequent run actually gets ever so slightly fatter. This makes the disc slower with slightly different flight characteristics.

1st run discs, especially highly regarded models, get reall expensive over time because many times they are the best high-production run of the disc. This is when the new mold is closest to its "virgin" state.

Great question Cody! If you notice, almost all 1st runs are more expensive as time goes by, and the reason is technical in nature.

JustinJ - it is impossible to make the Boss or Destroyer any lighter than about 165 grams due to the size of the wing - the wing is so big that it doesn`t leave enough plastic left over to make it across the top-plate of the disc. So the top-plate ends up lumpy or concave or maybe even holes in it. The only plastics that will come out of the mold clean are DX and R-Pro.

Thanks for the info! I´d like to find some CFR or star plastic if possible

@JustinJ I´ve been really impressed with the new R-Pro Boss 133g it floats in water which doesnt matter really to me but to see an overstable driver out on the market that floats opens up the D game to ppl who only throw floaters, the plastic is way more durable then you might think and flies a mile with ease, as far as lite Destroyers we have some 150g DX Destroyers that just bomb also and is made of the standard DX plastic....
I want to start by saying that I have shopped at least twice from Discgolfcenter.com, primediscs.com, and know of people that buy from marshallstreetdiscgolfstore.com and sunkingdiscs.com among others. I've shopped once while my buddies have shopped a handful of times while even having one of my disc guys shop at the store on vacation. We've all received our discs within a matter of days with same day shipping. I know discgolfcenter.com has the best prices but they take forever to get to them to you. I don't think that's worth a savings of about a quarter or two per disc.
I do believe the reward system makes buying here worth the experience. Especially when they have deals like triple bonus points for reviews and purchases. I've run into a couple of people that have called the store to place an order and they shipped it out that day and were very easy to work with. I've always gotten the disc in the color I wanted and the weight with an added prize (bonus disc) just for purchasing a certain amount. I really like my experience here the best and will say that I will do much of disc shopping through Clearwater.
Nobody compares to Clearwater Disc Golf Store when it comes to selection, value, and customer service. The prices you find here are as low or lower than you will find anywhere else and their selection of discs is the best i've found on the internet. The free shipping on orders over 39 bucks along with the amazing point system have allowed me to bulk up on my disc collection for great prices. I highly recommend this site to anyone looking for anything relating to disc golf. Their service is friendly, and if you have questions they will be happy to answer them in person. Theres nothing I didnt enjoy about Clearwater Disc Golf!
So it goes without saying you are going to find everything you want on this site but I think what sets them apart from everyone else is the online support. Nowhere else can you ask a question in realtime and get an answer back on anything from product to technique to tips and suggestions. My girlfriend also plays and the disc advice she got has really helped. Thanks again. I'm definetly going to buy here again.
This website is great. they have great customer service and they know their stuff. the online service is great and i feel i get a lot more out of actually talking to people about discs than reading reviews from people that could be the worst disc golfers for all you know. i also like that you can order just about anything from this store and you don't have to look around other stores to find what your looking for because they have everything any disc golfer could imagine.
I finally got to see this store in person.....and holy %&*#!, they have EVERYTHING for disc golfers!!! A few days ago I was lucky enough to play a few rounds with Scott, Brian, Gravit*E, and my long, long time friend Joe G., owner of Clearwater Disc Golf Store. Unfortunately, I lost a few discs in the water at Cliff Stephens Park (I had never lost a disc until that day). Naturally, when we returned to the store, I had to replenish my nearly empty bag of discs. Joe hooked me up with some awesome discs to help take my game up a notch. I've already had a chance to try them out and I can already tell a difference. These guys really do know their stuff.
So I was in Clearwater on business and stopped by the shop to look thru the store. The 3 hours that I spent looking thru everything was like being a kid in a candy store. The staff were so super cool and helpfull with my search, I didn't want to leave! Thanks everyone for your help and the rare discs I found and took home with me. And after a day of watery landings at Cliff the sqids and the shop get my splashed discs back to me. Just want to say THANKS!
The experience and knowledge your staff about each and every disc in your store is the reason why I scored 2 aces in the same week with my new Glo Aviar!!! Thanks Guys and Gal you all ROCK!!!!!!
