Discraft comet3/23/2023 ![]() ![]() Note: Disc dyes do fade over time, and factors such as heat, sun exposure, and plastic type can all change the speed that a dye fades. Orders of multiple discs will be shipped in a box. Need to go 300 feet on a straight line? Reach for a Comet.Īll discs are shipped securely in a zip-top plastic bag, inside a bubble mailer with a cardboard/foamboard backer. The venerable Comet is like a favorite pair of old shoes: trustworthy and comfortable. The legendary Comet™ is a super accurate, straight flying approach disc. Right now I have a combination of 170ish g Z Comets and 177ish g X Comets that cover the majority of my mid range shots (I keep a Sentinel for low-line hyzer shots.) Throwing them makes me pay more attention to my form, which for me is a good thing.If you own only one disc, this is it. I ended up swapping the Rocs for Comets in the fall expecting to go back to Rocs in the spring, but I had a lot of success with the Comet and it stayed in the bag this season. I figured it was a good "OAT detector" so it would be a good disc to work with. I started messing around with the Comet because I knew you had to throw it smoothly to keep it from flipping. Last year I had a bad case of OAT and it was killing my putter shots. I converted to the Rancho Roc (the disc that made me switch to Comets in the first place) because I could torque monkey it into the wind and get away with it. I played a lot at Fairfield with the wide open holes and all I knew to do into the wind was throw harder, which actually made the Comet flip worse. When I moved to the Chicago area in 2000 I ended up getting tired of throwing Comets in the wind. It took some adjustment because you really have to be smooth with it, but I converted to Comets and threw them as my only mid range for several years. I couldn't really get a handle on the Comet at the time, but I went back to it when the Ontario Roc went away in '97. He was a big Discraft pusher before he started GDS and you used to see a lot of Discraft in St. I'm pretty sure its time to try a new one out and hoping maybe a few other will give this disc a try since I can almost promise that if you have solid form you will love this disc and if your form is off it will help you fix it.ĭave McCormack suggested the Comet to me. I also had one of my longest throws at the time (on accident) when I used it on a 370ft anhyzer hole with a big tailwind, threw it high, and it flew like a kite across a creek that should never come into play 150ft past the basket.Īnyway that disc is the only Comet I have had in the bag and now it is paper plate flippy but just as useful as ever considering I do not have a natural RHFH and a RHBh toss with my Comet will pretty much mimic the late right turn. Anyway i put in a orange X in the bag an since then have had more aces than with any other disc and that was just in the 1st year. It wasn't until a little over 2 years ago when I began throwing all Discraft that I finally committed to trying the disc out to see what it could do. At the time I was an avid Innova player being from TX and being new to the sport (hadn't realized I was a zombie yet) so my dad I I proceeded to heckle him and his "Discrap Vomit". I 1st had experience with this "Vomit" when I was 12 watching a local Discraft Pro Jim Davidson throwing a Ron Russel Comet on pretty much every drive under 330ft with a very smooth flight and copious amount of glide. Anyone else on here keep the Comet in the bag as a staple? Over at DGR there are like 50 pages devoted to the disc with plenty of loyals and I want to see if we can get some new converts. ![]()
