The baby blue soft X challengers are nice, I have one and its grippy yet harder than other soft x challengers. It feels like a Pro-d one thats beat up real nice.

Its a regional thing....I don't know one person in Memphis that throws them other than me.....It's ALL wizards and KC Aviars here...St.Louis is only 3 hrs away so we get alot of gateway action down here.

The D Challenger is where it's at. I've got 6 of them in my bag now. Such a consistent disc

I'd like to see D'craft start running some challengers in that lovely CT plastic again. CT Challengers were the shizzle.
If the object of disc golf were to hit trees, I'd be 1100 rated.

well its my favorite disc that has been handed to us from the disc Gods. I cant make a order online without getting atleast one. The D challenger and the dx roc are my bread and butter of the game.

Hell yeah. The new pro D stuff is getting stiffer but nothing like the CT. The old orange pro d ones are pretty close.

I took a couple of the old stamped challengers and left them out in the hot summer sun and then the rain and more natural elements. Now I have a couple that are stiff as a board

The only problem is it takes too damn long to do that.

the new d ones (with the old X stamp) are easily just as stiff and IMO even nicer plastic than my old CT's!!?? my buddy just got a hot pink and a yellow and the plastic is hands down the best putter plastic Discraft has ever molded, just as stiff as most CT's but with better grip

sure let me just go over to his house and grab them

the cool thing is they changed the stamp at the same time as the plastic so these wont be hard to pick out of a crowd of challengers

http://marshallstreetdiscgolf.com/proddetail.asp?prod=challenger%5FdThe new ones look like this. Not all of them are stiff though (you can see that by Hoey's description too). I picked through just about every one they had at Marshall St. last saturday. Out of this batch the stiffest ones were white or pink (so pink I had to write "no homo" on the top of it, pastel pink). They are an improvement though, grippy and stiffer than some of the previous runs I've seen.

I've got some of those...they are ok. I've got a couple that I am working on with the natural elements to wear them in. Still would prefer some of the orange CT's.

Just got one and it feels prefect.
