Hands down the best Disc review format I've ever seen. Showing all the flights from 3 different arm speeds is just perfection. This is how it should always be done.
my crave might be my favorite disc in my bag; it feels like a super comfy mid to me, but flies like a fairway through low ceilings and tight gaps, and it glides and glides. i love love love this video format that takes your excellent coaching acumen and translates it to a super high-quality disc review; so good. so, so good you guys.
SWANKY! Miss the crew! Thanks for the positive affirmation. I can confirm that I feel positively affirmed by the affirmation given from the affirmation giver.
Great vid. I love the fact that this isn't just a video showing flights. One minor suggestion would be to list the disc weight somewhere when showing the flights that way viewers know if what you're showing is a max weight or light weight version.
Great suggestion! Unless stated otherwise we use max weight so that we can keep it consistent across all of our disc reviews. It’s good to have a baseline to work off of!
Thank you ! Yet another disc that’s found a place in my bag . Really liked the Dopleganger section where you address not only one company can fill this slot
The Crave is my cheat code. Currently bagging 3 craves. Beat up Proton for hyzer flips and turn overs, fairly new fission for straight shots, a Sarah Hokom Netron for when I need the extra stability.
What you're touching on regards to fairway- and landing zone control is very important, I think. I believe many intermediate players structure their bag and game in a way where they rock up to a tee box and think "I need distance here, time to use a distance driver." I'm willing to bet most players can throw many of their fairways further than their distance drivers, at least in terms of air distance (excluding the skip). So a key element to tackling courses with winding, woodsy corridors is to create predictable, very dull curves in the lines you have to shape and most distance drivers are just to dynamic, both in terms of the flight itself but also ground-play. Having shot-shaping distance- and fairway drivers is a crucial next step in bag-building. I loved how you guys created a context for the Crave in your review that I haven't seen elsewhere: it isn't an upshot disc, it's not just only for shaping shots in the woods, there are many other uses for such a slot. It CAN ALSO be a bomber off the tee. What matters is the line and the landing in combination.
i have been looking for something for this exact slot but kept looking in the 7-8 speeds. Completely skipped my mind about 6 speeds. This is EXACTLY what i have been looking for. thanks!
Love the six throw types by three different arms. I'm a noodler. Cool, cool, follow flight effect!! I am the dream viewer. Randomly got the video in my RU-vid fee😅d. Watched half, paused. Googled overthrow disc golf. Found store. Bought Desire. Win win!
Very well done, guys. You covered arm speed very well. As a potential improvement down the line you need (1) arm speed, (2) weight & (3) plastic as they all influence the flight (which I know you already know). If you don't want to buy a bunch of discs to coverall that it's cool ... just do the arm speed but keep a consistent weight and plastic and tell us what they are and what the influence "might" be if you know or have heard. It's so funny listening to Pros talk about how different things are run-to-run of the same mold in the same plastic and act surprised. Injection molding is not a science as much as it professes to be. Trust me; I was in the industry for years. Always enjoy the content ... keep it up! "buy something!"
Definitely filmed before the stock release of the MVP Detour, which likely flies the same distance or within about 20 ft. of the Crave but without having to carefully shape the traditional S curve. Would love to see this review revisited comparing only the Crave and the Detour! 🙏
after trying the crave and having success, i got a few that were a bit too flippy(fission more than neutron) for my bad form. then i got a servo. if the crave is touchy for you get a servo. make it easy on yourself
You guys killed it with this stamp! I have a fission Crave that I love and you are making me want to buy another. Axiom/MVP should hire whoever did the artwork to do all their stamps; their stock ones are so bland sometimes.
The Crave is one of my favorite discs. I got one because my buddy had one and he was always throwing these straight shots with it. You need to get it in Neutron plastic though. When I got mine I was expecting different flight than the numbers showed. I could throw it pretty hard and it would just go straight, for a while it wouldn't even really turn, it would just go straight and have a dependable fade at the end. I would throw it like 350' too, which was surprising to me for a 6.5 speed. As I threw it more and more it started to develop just a touch of turn to it, so I could bag that one and a newer one. Unfortunately I lost my 1st one in water and nobody returned it to me. Also, the one you get from the PDGA membership flies so much different.That recycled plastic makes it a lot more under-stable and I hate it lol
I only have one Crave, but I’ve heard that getting a max weight Fission (175), a 165, and 155 are all different discs. If you’re missing a flippy one, a Fission in the 150’s or 160’s might be the ticket!
Dude, the diameter doesn't make that big of a difference, given the small variations in the decimals. The rim width does. That said, the Crave has an 18mm rim, making it actually an 8s, but an 8 with ho-hum glide, so they call it a 6.5s with more glide instead - otherwise they wouldn't sell any. Also try the Hawkeye, btw, which is also an 8s -1 1.
My SH Crave and my L64 River constantly fight for the same spot lol, I have a lighter weight servo that flies v similarly too- too many good discs these days!
One of the best video reviews I've seen for a disc! Unfortunately the noodle arm representative still gets more distance than I do and therefore I must dislike. (Jk, liked the video! Great job!)
