Thank you. I think i may reach out to a local bike shop and see if they'd give me an old one this week

What about just using some styrofoam around the pole?

pool noodle has entered the chat….

Pipe insulation

@@aguy2112 styrofoam will break down and scatter bits and pieces everywhere over time as the chain and disks rub against it, and depending on the actual material type you get it may even just melt in the rain.

Thanks for your time developing it! Great looking product.

Looks cool!

Its too much money. Costs almost as much as a bag just to add weight and raise it a few inches. I wanted to love and promote this product. Cant at $140

@@InbredJed82060 We hear you, but there's a lot more to it than it looks and we had to work very hard to even get the price this low. The 14" of height it adds relieves a lot more stress on your body than you might imagine. It makes the added weight well worth it in my opinion. 😀

@@mojohgear How does it adding 14" of height relieve stress on your body? Cause I don't have to bend as far to pick it up? LOL if that's the reason because that is not a reason. Neat product but no.

At least I’m not the only one that remembers those

It’s also 100% illegal.

​@@NotSoFast71 you're clueless. So long you don't noticeably affect the original flight of the disc you're good

Clarification: it is legal to smooth damage to discs in order to restore its original flight characteristics. See 813.01.B

@@vattten I don’t know the rules super well but I feel the word “intentionally” is better than “noticeably” (no heat but it just makes more sense to me that way)

​@@NotSoFast71 It's legal per....PDGA rules 813.01.B Allowed modifications to a disc after production are limited to: Wear and tear from usage during play; Moderate sanding to address wear and tear or small molding imperfections; Marking with dye or permanent marker ink.

It cost $42 to buy one without the kit in Canada. That's not cool or nice!

@@jonasspiro6476 yeah you are right the company sucks because it costs more to buy something from another country. Never thought of it that way.

@@NB_224 right on. I'm not giving up on it yet :)

Yeah, plenty of us had toys that had the similar suction feature.

I used to annoy my parents when throwing them at the windows lol

Yeah like suction cups aren't 150 years old.

Funny part about that is suction is in no way a new technology but it is very new to our games space. I also tried buying a suction cup just like that online and attaching it to me cheaper retriever and it does not work at all. So what ever they’re using is not some standard 99 cent suction ball.

Also do not go too far on the sanding/repairs to alter the discs shape either, even if this does not affect the flight.

@@caseysmith544 you mean I cant throw my triangle shaped destroyer in a tourney?

@@BryceRogers_ Well if it's triangle because you have hit tree three times, it's OK.

It literally feels like black magic. Please buy these people!!!

Nice!!!! Good on you for doing right by the planet, and best of luck 🤘

Do the drag retrievers work if there are large rocks and boulders?

The Ryzer will only add about 2.5 lbs to your bag, which is well worth it in my opinion. And it works just fine on most slopes. It's very stable.

@Mojoh Gear that's like lugging around a clothes iron on top of water, discs, retrieve tools, small first aid kit if in the mountains or places with stinging bugs, and whatever else. I haven't gone past 10 discs max due to weight when playing a course. Typically, I play with 8 that are based on the weather and course I am at. My boyfriend has an 18+ disc bag that I will borrow for field work. That's about the max weight I could enjoy playing a course with if I was determined, carried it once, and that was enough. (Sure, I could carry more, but this isn't a camping trip, I don't want to be huffing and puffing). 8 discs at 155g comes to about the stand's weight. I generally play with 140-150's. So the stand easily doubles my weight for my standard disc carry, bringing it up to that of my boyfriend's larger bag. After trying his, I went with a lighter bag because of the weight. It would be a tough decision to buy this stand. One of the other options I am currently looking at is a lightweight camp stool, and it is 0.6 lbs. I can sit on it while waiting and then rest my bag on it when my turn is up. For me, how heavy this thing is takes the excitement out of it and is a hard sell. But my boyfriend might like it.

This is pointless speculation and not enough information to suggest a disadvantage. Email the manufacturer for your bag and ask. They might welcome the protection the stand gives.

We have developed an attachment that doesn't require screwing thru your bag, we just haven't had time to show it yet. We will very soon. We also met with Levy at Pound and he said it would not cause an issue with his warranty. I'm not sure why any bag manufacturer would nullify a warranty over 4 tiny holes?

Given it's a prototype, I guess the creator will be (or is) looking at a way to attach to bags with rails.

Likely because they aren't good at catching, not helping you practice with a basket as close as possible to ones on courses and the rope will likely be more feeble than chains.
