[Innova] Anything better then a Roadrunner?

[BirdieMachine]

I have two Champ RR 168 Red and 173 Blue. Fly 360-375 for me. Ive had/tried an ASS ESP, Mamba Champ, Sidewinder Star and DX, Fever Star and Archangel DX. I like my RR's because they hold the turn longer then ASS/SW/Fever without being overly flippy dirt eaters like the Mamba/Archangel are.

How about the Fury, Secret Weapon, TD Rush and Underworld? Those discs I have not thrown. Has anyone gone to those from Roadrunners? What disc should I try next or should I forget it and keep the RR's?

Underworld is good, may be too flippy for you though, i had it turn and burn bad on me a couple times when powered up. I am really enjoying my MVP Amp.. its flippy but only at longer distances and doesn't burn because it has the LSS to pan out to flat by the time it hits dirt.. powered down its nice and straight, can make some finesse S curves with it also.

 

[Hlasianguy06]

TiASS might be what you're looking for, not as flippy compared to the other plastics it's molded in.

 

[BirdieMachine]

I did actually like the ESP ASS overall but not as much as the RR. I may have to pick up a TI and play around with it.

I started with roadrunners and switched to a Beat T Sword that got flippy, yet wouldn't burn.. been using that since, i like that it will turn over for a long turn but it always hits dirt flatter and never rolls. The sword may be faster than what your looking for though and requires time to beat it in.. unless you get an AIR version that is super light, those are flip city out of the box.

My beat GL Rivers were in the bag forever, 2-3 years and i loved them for late turnovers and flat landings also.

My MVP Amps do this stuff right out of the box for long turnover drives and they are super consistent so i just switched to them this summer.. wouldn't go back, especially since i like the whole fairway lineup they have and it feels the same in the hand as all their other fairways. makes for a consistent grip feel. They also are the most durable and will stay flying the same for much longer.

 

[BirdieMachine]

Amps, Hmm. Yeah consistency is the word I should of used earlier. The RR's for me turn gentler and longer then the others Ive thrown. The others either come out earlier or are dirt eaters unless thrown with a perfect angle (nose and release).

I'll have to keep those in mind too.

Honestly Im not sure why I want to replace them, trying out discs for me is an obsession. At least its better then doing Crack.

I get you on the trying discs out thing lol, but I've come to realize if its working for you, no reason to change it. There's a reason the RR is the standard for understable control.

 

[dekdo]

If you dont have a problem with the way your roadrunners are working for you then id say you should just continue to use them.

 

[BirdieMachine]

I could just try and be satisfied with them, I do really like them. But then Im not feeding my addiction. I need some new plastic!

Then just buy some new RR's lol

 

[KelReeves]

Amp is the best turnover disc I have found. I like Roadrunner but I like the Amp better. To me, the Amp is the result of a Leopard and a Roadrunner having a baby.

 

[ThrowaEnvy]

I found a 174 C RR dye Evil Dead, it reignited my love for the disc, I've bought a hundred different discs since my 160 Champ one and I have to vote it one of the most fun discs in the bag. I throw the old 160 for the dog and it shapes great lines. It's often chosen for 2-3 disc rounds.

I would stick to them, however I can suggest that if you want to try something different- I pair my RR with a 168 Gold Bolt for a stable distance counterpart and I like the Stalker for a straighter downhill shot. I like the Axis (more stable) and Tursas (same maybe a little less stable) for similarities in the mid department.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

...what disc ISNT better than a road runner?!

Seriously though they are pretty legit for slower US drivers... Amp is not really a good comparison, river maybe but faster never really thrown the others people mentioned but would say if roadrunners work and you aren't looking for a different flight then stick to them... They work'

Just stick with the Roadrunner. If it isn't broke don't fix it

Westside King in Tournament plastic. Turns roughly the same as a RR, but it's faster. As an added bonus, it has a pretty awesome stamp. (Ignore the speed rating on the disc. It's fast but not 14 fast)

Maybe try an Undertow?

 

[dhyde7723]

Westside King, Discraft Avenger SS, Surge SS, MVP Amp, Vibram Lace, Lattitude Diamond maybe...all good choices. In Innova, star sidewinders and monarchs are nice as well.

 

[ThrowaEnvy]

Surge SS is a good one forgot about them, more stability tighter s flight, AMP could be a similar step up later turn good stability without burning. You are past a sidewinder. King, IDK haven't got one.

 

[tu-f-o]

isn't the roadrunner flippier than the sidewinder?
why would a sidewinder turn and burn more for you?

For tailwind bombs, da bolt.
