Lines: 36 Good point, I did forget the HDX, but only because I abandoned them years ago. They tend to shatter at about 42 degrees F, but are fine above or below that. Stiff, too. AMF Voit has several discs available, it turns out. The "translucent non- gouge" top piece model is 175G for about $7-$8. There's a smaller conventional model called the "Vector" which is a remodeled Floater (I guess they used to manufacture that one), 170G for about $6. They have a K-9 model that is made of HARD plastic so the pooch won't mangle it badly, about $4. There's even a "generic" disc out now, about 165G for next to nothing (<$4). As for the puppy, it's a 21 cm diameter disc weighing in at 150-200G and costing around $7-$8. Available mail order only, I think. I can't say enough good things about its putting characteristics, and I've seen some awesome drives. Discraft is coming out with the Sky-Streak, a heavy plastic disc for golf. It's in beta-test right now. Voit also has a golf offering, a puppy replica, which alone makes it worth looking at. Two sizes: 21cm and 23cm @ about 185G and $8. I still use a heavy (glow-in-the-dark) Wham-o model PGA golf disc. It serves well, but then I am not a serious golfist. Wham-o has a whole line of heavy golf discs. Most of these discs are available from mail order houses like the following: Disc Wares Unlimited, Inc. PO Box 333 Amherst, MA 01004 There's always somebody selling discs at tournaments, too. Whew!
