We're looking to stock Discraft at Adrian Lock & Bike and would like some input as to what models you would like to see on our shelves. Not only what you like personally but any input as to what you may feel the average player/beginner would buy.
Got a paticular disc you want us to order for you? Call the shop at 517-263-1415 and ask to talk with Matthew or Todd.
If all goes well, we will be placing our first order next week(10-27-08).
Thanks for your time.
Todd

ummmm the buzzz
and the buzzz and maybe some
buzzz lol
great disc for all skill levels and a good disc for someone to start out with because you can drive and putt with it till you work your way up to real drivers. sorry can you tell its my fav disc ever.
good beginner drivers are
xpress-This driver stepped my game up from beginner to starting to be competetive when I was a rookie.
xl
xs
cyclone- classic great disc that will be around forever prob.
stratus
other discs that are popular are
flash
flick
challenger putters
magnet putters
surge
avengers
crush
I personally don't know too many people who throw discraft d-plastic or flx plastic. Most people throw discrafts elite-z or esp plastic.
There are a few of us locals who post on here allot who are pretty knowledable about the game and plastic so any questions just give us a shout. I spoke with I think Todd at the course on monday about you guys carrying plastic.
It will be nice to see some discraft plastic come to the area.Kieth murray from discraft is a great person to deal with and a real people person.
lots of info on discrafts webpage in the resources tab for new players and disc selection as well as technique.

I imagine I would stop in and buy a ESP Buzzz, and an ESP Force to give it a shot.
The more experienced players are always going to reach for ESP plastic, even though the discs are $16-18...
that said, you might be able to sell the cheaper (Pro D, Elite X) plastic easier to newbies who aren't looking to spend a lot of money.

I tossed the Force a few times.. I REALLY like it! Its like a destroyer, but, i think it has a more predictable flight path that high speed turns a little more than a destroyer, and fades a little harder than a destroyer at the end of its flight.
Its nice because even though its less stable than a Tee-rex, it Fades as much as it, if not more. VERY nice disc. I will be using it for short hyzer shots because it holds the hyzer line so well at low speeds, and at high speeds I'm very interested in it for 300-350ft shots, like #10.
I was out at Lenawee Christian today, chucking it back and forth between basket #7 and basket #2 (about 330 ft I'd say)
I consistently parked that sucker, MUCH better than I was throwing my Teerex OR my destroyer!
Awesome!
If I had to rate it like Innova does, I'd say:
Speed: 11/12
Fade: 5
turn: -2
Glide: 4
/it might be a lot like a Boss, I don't know, I've never thrown one.

Glad you like your new disc Brad.
I got an Avenger SS, Glide Z and a Meteor for myself, played 3 rounds over the weekend and am starting to get the hang of what they will do. I really like the SS and the Meteor, not sure where the Glide will fit in for me yet.
Never played at Len. Christ., need to check it out.

Lenawee Christian is really just a practice course, all holes are about 150', some less. hence, I usually just go out there to goof around, practice putting, and make up my own longer holes..
plus, there is a little playground that my kids can play on while I toss a few. Unfortunately they are outgrowing it, next year they will be completely bored with it 
Also, it helps that i live about half a mile from that course, its an open field for me to practice on
