DISC INFORMATION:Brand: Thought Space Athletics / Discraft CollaborationMold: ExpanseMaterial: Parallel PlasticType: Distance DriverStability: StableStamp Art: Expanse Astronaut FLIGHT NUMBERS:Speed: 11.0 | Glide: 5.0 | Turn:-2.0 | Fade: 2.0 MATERIAL:Thought Space Athletics Parallel plastic is a new blend to their lineup. It's made by Discraft and could be considered somewhere in between ESP and ESP FLX. It feels much like Nebula Aura, with just a little less tackiness. This plastic also features beautiful swirls. This premium material is typically characterized by a slightly softer, grippier texture compared to ultra-stiff plastics, offering exceptional control in various weather conditions. Key features often associated with Parallel plastic include: -Enhanced Grip: The blend provides a tacky feel, promoting a secure grip and confident release, even when wet.-Excellent Durability: Designed to withstand the rigors of regular play, Parallel plastic resists damage from impacts with trees and other obstacles, maintaining its flight characteristics over time.-Consistent Flight: The material aims to offer a reliable and predictable flight path, allowing players to dial in their throws with precision.-Comfortable Feel: The slightly softer nature of the plastic contributes to a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended rounds.-Premium Aesthetic: Thought Space Athletics is known for its artistic disc designs, and Parallel plastic often showcases these designs with clarity and vibrancy. Parallel plastic is intended for disc golfers seeking a premium blend that balances grip, durability, and consistent performance, making it a valuable addition to any player's bag. DESCRIPTION:Thought Space Athletics Expanse represents a pinnacle of aerodynamic engineering within the distance driver class, meticulously crafted through a synergistic collaboration with Discraft. This high-velocity projectile, exhibiting a speed rating of 11, is engineered to maximize linear displacement through optimized glide coefficients, registering a value of 5, thus extending its airborne trajectory. Its flight dynamics are further characterized by a strategically calibrated negative turn of -2, facilitating a controlled anhedral trajectory, followed by a precisely engineered positive fade of 2, ensuring a predictable return to the centerline. The Expanse is constructed from Thought Space Athletics' proprietary "Parallel" polymer matrix, a high-modulus thermoplastic blend exhibiting viscoelastic properties analogous to Discraft's ESP, thereby providing a tactile interface optimized for both grip and durability across a spectrum of environmental conditions. This disc, designed for players seeking to exploit the understable-to-stable transition zone, delivers a reliable and repeatable flight path, enabling precise manipulation of distance and trajectory through nuanced adjustments in angular momentum and release velocity. Expanse serves as a canvas for Thought Space Athletics' intricate and visually arresting aesthetic designs, effectively marrying high-performance functionality with artistic expression.
