| | 10-06-07 - Discwing trio | It has been rather quite about the company Discwing for the last two years, but then suddenly, three new discs approved by the PDGA last week. We are talking about two drivers; the Fluent, Vantage and a putter, Mark.
We have very limited information about the new discs at the moment, but both the Fluent (21,2 cm) and Vantage (21,1 cm) seems to be control drivers, with 1,7 resp 1,5 cm rim thickness, which definitely are missing in the current Discwing line-up.
Mark seems to be a blunt putter in the same division as for example the Birdie/Piranha from Innova.
Read more about the new discs here very soon. | |  |  | | 10-06-03 - Down to the River... | River is a 21.1 cm stable control driver, not as stable as the Striker, not as fast, but with a great glide according to Latitude.
