Summit Release Date: Friday, November 27th

Contact your favorite disc golf stores and make sure they have them in stock in time for the holidays.

First Run Summits are all black and have no flight rating info engraved into the mold.

------------------

Huge announcement, part deux: VP lighter weights are coming online as we speak. Look for them trickling into stores just after Thanksgiving and early December.

Were any changes made from the tester summits? Are they going to fly any different.

+1

that's great news!! I lost one of my proto summits in a pond. Any news on the Ridge?

The mold was not changed. I will let Aaron speak to the materials.

So what's up with vibramdiscgolf.com?

Liking the Ridge so far. Way grippy, even covered in snow.

Just started throwing the Summit Friday, used a 172g in a team challenge match Saturday, and can't imagine not having this disc in my bag, especially for anny and hyzer flip drives and approaches! Thinking about testing and putting a <170g one in my bag as well. Didn't like the plastic at first, but loved it yesterday. Firm and grippy enough when wet/cold to get clean releases with, even approach flicks, which impressed me quite a bit.

I have a feeling the Ridge will be making the bag next as a replacement/go alongside my slightly beat soft challenger. Major difference in the shallower rim allows for cleaner releases. I'm sure I'd prefer a softer/more rubbery feel though.

Any way you can post a pic of the rim profiles of those Steve?

Steve Dodge · Post by **Steve Dodge** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 11:20 am

Maybe on the Trek. Not yet on the other two.

I went out and started to throw the Trek today, interesting stuff. It seems to be more stable than my Ascent. I like the feel of it though. I have to get out there and rip it some more for a more detailed description.

Jeff Burrows · Post by **Jeff Burrows** » Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:07 pm

Wasn't the Trek supposed to be stable to understable in order to compliment the Ascent?
I'm confused.
I'm more interested in that Ibex midrange, anyway. Can't wait for the testing on that.

yes it is, which is why i said it was some interesting stuff. Even when i was putting a little anny on it, it would come on back.

Steve Dodge · Post by **Steve Dodge** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 8:42 pm

The Trek was designed to be more understable than the Ascent. Initial testing is indicating that we missed the mark. Sometimes testing is good, eh?

George Economos · Post by **George Economos** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:32 pm

As fairly new players with pretty good arms my sons and I tested the trek the other day and were confused why it would not do what it was supposed to do. I guess that is what testing is all about. We just assumed it was all set. We loved the feel but kept saying "this is frustrating, maybe its because its new and needs to get beat up",but duh its vibram, tough to beat up. I must say the new ascent does just what you want (350'-400' perfectly straight with slight fade at the end). Hopefully the trek will become less stable (we found it to be stable to very overstable at the end of its flight, 300'-350') cause I am leaning towards throwing my ascent every drive, but it would be great to not have to try so hard to roll it around that dogleg left. I'm lefty

I believe there is one waiting at home, that my son was lucky enough to win through Vibram's contest. We can't wait to rip it some more next week. And we will definitely give more feedback.
Thanks for letting us throw it Steve. Look Foward to getting one in my bag someday. Maybe even matched up in color with my already matching ascent and ridge.

Steve Dodge · Post by **Steve Dodge** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 9:13 am

I'm sorry about (and glad to hear about) your frustration. I suppose it is good that the feedback we are getting is consistent. :drunken:
