Great review. I'm happy you addressed the Lucid-X discussion--that was the first thing I was thinking. The orbit felon is one of my favourite discs, but I still carry another overstable 9 speed since the orbit ones are pretty straight.

@jakemiller270 Жыл бұрын

I bag a seasoned Rathbun 2022 tour series and I have noticed it is close to a champ firebird glide wise. No doubt it is a utility disc because anything past 250 that run of felon is useless for me. Luckily I discovered the metal flake explorers can fit that "Flippy felon" slot.

@ApolloDiscGolf Жыл бұрын

Yeah this one has a solid combination of glide and overstability. I was really surprised that it was flying just as far as my stock lucid felon, but it was much more overstable!

@jacobcolon5295 Жыл бұрын

thanks for the comparison I was curious about this. the lucid felon is my fave for its flex in the hand and the stability getting really straight over time for a great sidearm disc

@ApolloDiscGolf Жыл бұрын

Oh yeah, this is a solid compliment for a more overstable felon! but a workable lucid Felon is straight money!

@joshuasmith9528 Жыл бұрын

I have old firebirds that the similar flight number discs can’t replicate. It’s only a long approach disc for me, but lots of times, it makes a sick run, but leaves me with a super tough putt. Still gonna send it tho.

Glad he didn’t just make another lucid x tour series disc. So many lucid x runs have those weirdly shaped tall pointy domes.

@Apollo Disc Golf it's cause they use a little suction cup robot to move them around and when the x plastic is still cooling it acts a little weird when the machine gives it a hickey

The Z ones are probably more overstable than this! Because the ESP ones are less stable, right?

The Sockibomb Felon is the bomb. I'm a Trilogy guy, but am not a fan of the Dynamic Discs Justice System names all that much.. So I tried Ahtis, Pioneers, A Raptor..... aaaand now I bag three Felons and couldn't live without them. Fluid, Moonshine, and Sockibomb. They can cover SO many slots in your bag. My Fluid has a good chunk of turn, my moonshine is reliable without being a meathook, and my Sockibomb is beefy, but not to the point where it divebombs when it fades. Felons have a dragging fade for me that helps shape so much.. most other 9,3,0,4 kind of molds go so much for overstability they fade too hard and dive. It's the only DD mold I bag and I hate the name.. It's that good. Then get a couple Anvils for you shorter Felon needs. Perfection.

I wonder if this is similar to a Sexton Firebird. I like my Fuzion Felon and the flare skip but use a 21 Sexton for less ground play and slightly less fade.

@ApolloDiscGolf Жыл бұрын

This one is definitely more overstable than the Sexton Firebirds. It's closer to a champ firebird than anything... But I think this one goes a little further!

Oof, that looks D-U-M-P-Y. It reminds me of the new Doom Bird 4. Discs like these are good for crash shots IMO. Something that'll stick without rolling uphill or downhill.

Eric Oakley loved the Felon! He had just about every type of Felon in his bag... I would assume the pros still bag Lucid-X or Hybrid-X on the windier days... because the regular felons just wouldn't hold up!

Interestingly enough, just noticed they made these a 4 glide instead of 3 for the traditional Felon's. They seem great, just not sure they will get much traction when they want $30 a disc and you can get a regular Felon for $20.

Very true... A ton of discs coming out around $30 now-a-days...

@KingKerrmitt Жыл бұрын

@@ApolloDiscGolf seems to mainly be the large manufacturers, have to pay for the contracts somehow I guess. Curious to see trends if people pivot to smaller brands or end up buying 1 disc instead of 2 typically.

@ApolloDiscGolf Жыл бұрын

@@KingKerrmitt Yeah... It might eventually be the bigger companies making the "higher quality" stuff like the Royal plastic and then the smaller companies making disc the "traditional" way and keeping pricing the same... that or everything will eventually move to $20-$30 discs... either scenario wouldn't surprise me!

My only question is what happens if or when Ricky leaves DD or retires? Will they still be called Sockibomb Felons or will they have to rename them?

@ApolloDiscGolf Жыл бұрын

Yeah I'm not sure! I guess all these companies have that problem to figure out now that they are all starting to do custom discs for pros... Discraft is the only one where it makes sense with Paul since he signed a 10-year deal and it seems like he will be with them until he is done...

@Xulzen Жыл бұрын

Likely it will simply be called the Supreme Felon. I tend to think this disc was coming with or without Ricky due to DD's decision to remake old molds with the new plastic instead of making new molds like Lat64.

Nearly 10% of my audience is from Finland, Sweden, Estonia, and that area… so I like to convert the distances and wind speeds and they have said they measure wind in m/s… so I like to put the conversions up there so it’s easier to watch! I would want the same if I were watching European content!
