Big Jerm Concrete Slab
I finally decided to take my first run metal flake c-blend Slab out of the bag and replace it with a fresh Jeremy Koling Concrete Slab. This is my Firebird/Draco slot in the bag. I like having the larger rim than a 9 speed for getting skip with the finish on lower angle shots. I mainly throw the slab forehand, but it comes out for backhands with heavy headwinds and utility shots. I love the look and grip of metal flake plastic already, but concrete adds a bit more tack in my opinion.
Some people think it's crazy overstable but I feel it's perfectly overstable for the shots I use it for. It comes out a few times a round, off the tee or on approaches. Great for forehand roller, get-out-of-trouble style shots in the thick woods. As well as overhand shots, this thing has good flare to it when thrown on a low, flat angle. Great for getting around sharp corners that aren't far from your lie (or teepad).
If you are a forehand thrower who has problems with off axis torque, this disc will be an autocorrect for that. Unless thrown on a chop angle over 45 degrees or so, it'll have a perfect s curve flight and always fight back to fade out as predicted. I don't think it's good for beginners as it is higher speed and overstable. I never even consider going back to the 9 speed overstable slot anymore after finding the Slab. For reference, I used to throw the Max but they were getting too hard to find and the profile consistency wasn't there. Domey, flat, in the middle... it just varied too much. Then I moved to the Millennium/Hyzerbomb Sabot since it's a tooling of the Max. It was more readily available but I still was finding too many inconsistencies with the profile. I wanted board flat and I kept getting some that weren't. The Garrett Gurthie signature edition ones were nice and all board flat, but by that point, I had moved to the Slab (another Max tooling). Get a Slab in your preferred plastic and give it a go. They are all board flat (from my experience) so it's all about getting a plastic you like. I have a new Big Jerm Halo Slab also, but the Concrete run still seems like it'll be more up my alley.
