Re: Disc Diameter Variation

Sorry, I wish we had thought to measure the discs.

Re: Disc Diameter Variation

At Inland Empire we experienced jamming that we did not at Long Beach, but it may have been due to an issue with our machine rather than the discs. I can't be certain.

Re: Disc Diameter Variation

Actually we did had measured the discs but then one of us checked the manual and told us they changed the size of the discs so that they were larger.
We made our shooter adjustable for this difference because the discs we received from the KoP were of the small size and we needed to practice.
All of those minor changes are always in the manual I suggest you to check it regularly in case they make a chenge. I know it's hard to read it all again but just check the important things such as sizes or the fouls.

Can you say where in the manual this is?

He may be referring to Team Update 01-08, the very first one:

Quote:
The DISCS are Wham-O part number 53214 (custom colored Red, White, or Blue) and have a nominal diameter of -10- 5/8 11 in., a nominal height of -1 1/4- 1.4 in., and a weight of 180 ± 5 grams.
-'s are strikethroughs.
