@DiscmaniaGolfDiscs Год назад

Thanks for checking out the new Sky Walker - so glad you're loving it for that stable to slightly stable spot. Happy release day!

@MPHshoots Год назад

@ilikesnow Год назад

Thank you Discmania & CW! This disc is so sick! Parked the first 3 teeshots I threw it! All 300+ birdies. This teal rim almost should be a -1 turn. Absolute banger!

@MonkeysFightingRobots Год назад

I would love to see a series where you talk about the history of discs. As a pandemic player the evolution of discs is very interesting to me.

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

Oooo... I do like the history of discs 🤔

@ilikesnow Год назад

This is a great idea. You're a killer storyteller David. Your videos always have a good flow, hit the important points and have just enough humor. There really is a lack of good history content for disc golf. At this point I think a lot of us are craving some more in depth content. Maybe a series showcasing a few of the pros over the last couple decades? I bet a lot of pandemic golfers only KC's name from the Champion discs. @broderic did that video on Will Shusterick a while back that was super entertaining.

@nickheisler2559 Год назад

@@ApolloDiscGolfAgreed, would be awesome since this was the first time I had realized the reason DM didn't make certain discs before taking over their own production was Innova not wanting DM to crowd their market. Very interesting stuff.

@TheDrakmannen Год назад

100% agree, Im always happy when I see a new Apollo review. You always get tidbits with your reviews, and as a player that maxes out around 400’ I know I can rely on your reviews for similar results.

@niksproal Год назад

I concur on this. You and Brod are my go to for the history of discs. I smell a collab series.

@JaceM8 Год назад

I appreciate all the metric subtitles/conversions

@earlthomas6295 Год назад

I would call the flight numbers of the C line FD1 more a 7 4 0 3. Basically a slower FD3. But if the Skywalker has more glide and an actual 2 fade then that would be perfect.

@HonduDan Год назад

Not a huge Casey fan, but I'll pick this up anyway. He's kinda the poor man's pro and I like that. Support the kid, he's living his dream!

@michealgrzywinski4959 Год назад

Nice video. It would be helpful if you could add a graphic which shows the distance of the throws in addition to the flight path.

@jasonedens3778 Год назад

I think these are really handy discs to have. I bag a TSA Votum but same concept.

@LimeS9696 Год назад

For slower arms like myself, instinct is really nice

@evanstanek5838 Год назад

Yeah, I wondered why they needed this mold at all with the Instinct already being very good 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

I would think this is a little more reliable than an Instinct... But I haven't had a ton of time with the Instinct!

@BryceRogers_ Год назад

@@ApolloDiscGolf The Neo instinct has been my OS fairway since January. Idk if it’s the hard, dense plastic, but for a while it was hard for me to get a lot of glide out of it. Very dependable fade though. Also, admittedly I bought the Instinct because it’s supposed to be an FD2, which by all accounts I found it’s the “three-tooled” mold

@payrez540 Год назад

The forge instinct definitely has that added stability, but I don’t think it dumps as hard as the FD 1 when it slows down.

@calvindelamere3489 Год назад

Fwiw, neo Instinct is very close to a c line FD while the tour series is more OS. Still would have liked to see it in the comparison.

@NJT1013 11 месяцев назад

Id love for this disc to be like the Royal Rage FD2. I got rid of all mine when people started offering me sickening amounts of money for them and I was on a DG hiatus..... I screwed up.

@discjunkiesDGT Год назад

such a good review, i've had the same issue with the FD1 in the past, I think I need one of these, i'd love to have seen a comparison to the Show Stopper.

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

I haven't had a chance to throw the show Stopper yet!

@discjunkiesDGT Год назад

oohhhh come on David, what's going on? JK, Dude, seriously it's pretty amazing, i have the lighter cream colored disc, flips up and pushes hard forward@@ApolloDiscGolf

@CMAG69 Год назад

I have a white FD1 in cline and it no where a near as stable as your purple one. That's a hog, what the heck

@ilikesnow Год назад

So stoked for Casey! That dude is on the come up. He's a perfect bridge between us amateurs and the huge arms. Glad I won't have to draw my own stamp on this one :)

@ilikesnow Год назад

Just ordered the teal rim, thanks for the recommendation!

@broderic Год назад

I might draw a picture of Casey on mine…

@ilikesnow Год назад

@@broderic lol OK great call! I'm drawing an FC logo on it too then!

@josephmcgowan4436 Год назад

@ilikesnow Casey lost his shit at a tournament at Tom brown in Tally Fl and told some of the crowd to shut the F up we are trying to play.... I normally wouldn't care but there were kids around and he blew his top lost respect for him, he's a douche bag

@CasualRelief Год назад

With AB Color Glow Teebird3s being so hard to find and limited this could be my replacement! Needing that fairway/control driver that I can count on not to turn over but still glide and not fade so hard it tends to skip.

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

Yeah the Teal/Red one I got was very nice!

@redsleaves Год назад

Going to get one or ten to support Casey White! Seems like a great guy. How would you compare this to a Votum?

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

This is going to be more stable than a Votum and will handle more power and fight more winds. But the finish on the FD1 is not as forward pushing as the Votum either!

@redsleaves Год назад

@@ApolloDiscGolf so they could potentially live together harmoniously in the same bag?

@loixm68 Год назад

Nice video as usual. How would you compare it to an Instinct or a retooled FD2? Cheers from France!

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

I would say it’s more stable than an instinct with not as much glide. Compared to the retooled FD2 I’m not sure… there were a few retooled ones and I only threw one type… but I would say this definitely has more glide than the one I threw, but more stability and torque resistance on forehand

@brekkoh Год назад

How does it compare to the Westside Bear? Ive really been enjoying that for my workable fairway cause I found the stag to be just a little understable for full power throws

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

I would say this is a little more stable than a Bear! I found that the bear would turn a little bit for me in wind, when this is pretty dependable in wind!

@jamesstables6636 Год назад

if you want a straighter and more glidey FD1 then why not simply use an FD ?? 🤷

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

The FD doesn't have the dependability this has. The FD will turn for you without wind, when this will give you distance down the fairway while not turning even with power or wind. It gives you consistency and dependability when you can't go right

@Cristopher1976 Год назад

I have been using the c line fd1 like an eagle. Thinking this may be more like a tee bird.

@Cristopher1976 Год назад

Also I heard this is like a 3rd tool fd2.

@dpensko Год назад

I still bag a teebird. I find that personally the fd1 fills more of that Innova Eagle type mold. Like how the old 3 tool FD2 had that fd bottom rounded bottom, but super flat top (seemed like an eagle l) and was nice and slightly overstable with little glide. Best part is the fd1 is a nice out the box flyer and dont have to beat it up like eagles. Ordered myself a teal rim skywalker! Great video!

@tobygable Год назад

Your camera work is absolutely incredible man, way to hustle out of the frame. I feel like I can really see the flight of the disc and the perspective you give is much appreciated!!

@akkadian1995 Год назад

I am an Instinct guy and I love it. Discmania sent me an early release of the Skywalker. It's great but more stable although less than the c-line FD1. To me fills a niche but still Instinct is primary. I also like the Teebird 3 but it's just a different disc.

@stratonrye Год назад

This looks great. I think this is what I use Eagles and Votums for but also, IMO, you can't have enough stable 7 speed discs. Lol.

@JinGalactica Год назад

I see why Eagle loves this disc. I was throwing the Instinct for the longest time and didn't want to change. But got it one day, instantly fell in love with it. I ordered mine this morning. I hear its much straighter, and the way you're throwing it looks like its $$$$$

@crabbyjimmy1 Год назад

I think in a couple years it’ll be a really good goto in the bag. The flight tells everything when it’s brand new.

@pinkmusicdude Год назад

How has Lucas Art not asked Discmania to change the name of that disc, Skywalker is Trademarked.

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

Maybe because it’s Sky Walker, two words… technicalities 🤷🏻‍♂️ Or because disc golf is so small they don’t even know?

@yank33yey Год назад

I was wondering the same thing, kind of a risky name.

@Chris-qq2cu Год назад

How would you compare it to something like the Bear?

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

I would say it's more overstable than a Bear? The Bear usually turned for me in some headwinds when I don't think this will

@justwondering1926 Год назад

Must be hard for discmania when they already have the instinct. They needed the FD1 to be different but still wanted a great feeling and flying disc.

@JinGalactica Год назад

it was tough for me. I love the Instinct, but can see why pro's love this one. It's very workable if you have an arm like Eagle.

@khrom1000 Год назад

I appreciate the metric numbers. Thanks for the good video :)

@billherrera6386 Год назад

Nice review. Looks like a sweet disc, but I am not sure it will kick out my Volt at this point.

@striker3212 Год назад

Looks like somebody got a new camera… the shot starting at 2:50 looks super hd, looks great

@raptorCr7 Год назад

C line Originals fd is what you need.

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

The C-Line FD always gave me a little bit of turn! I like how these don't really turn at all, but still push forward for you!

@jannejaakkola5836 Год назад

Very nice review. I can 100% relate to those "flex" lines. xD Is this the same plastic as Latitude Royal Grand or is this completely different? I think the Horizon DD1 was very similar to Grace also in terms of plastic.

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

I believe Tomas said that they are all different blends of plastic. But I would say this feels similar for sure! Both feel great!

@AndrewMcEwen-m1k Год назад

To me it seems like the FD1 is closer to my eagles then my tee birds

@parkersutton6422 Год назад

How does this disc compare to the Vanguard?

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

I would say it's a bit slower and more stable, definitely more reliable in winds

@brettmchan2855 Год назад

How would you compare this to the forged instinct or the royal rage 2

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

I haven't thrown a Royal Rage 2, but I would say that this is a touch more stable than the Forge one!

@brettmchan2855 Год назад

@ApolloDiscGolf kind of what I thought a touch straiter with maybe a touch more fade! I love my forged instinct!!!

@kaysonmatthews164 Год назад

bro is that shawnee mission park?? if you ever want another person to throw with for your reviews give me a shout I am an admin for the discmanina collector page and be happy to help

@ApolloDiscGolf Год назад

It is Shawnee Mission! I usually go out there to film because 7-9 are really nice to be able to see a flight of a disc and get to know what they can do!
