How many strokes do non Innova pro's lose

[fritothedog]

Losing "strokes" would be a good thing, wouldn't it?

Wow, 6 pages in and you are the first to catch that. Kudos.

The poll says this "How big is the Innova sponsored players advantage strokes per round", I thought it was clear.

I'm going to say "0" is the official answer, and I will use Dave Feldberg as proof. His rating at this time last year was 1040, he switched 100% to a Lat 64 bag for 2013, and now his rating is 1042. Clearly he lost nothing by not throwing Innova plastic.

Boom goes the Dynamite!!

Well it's obvious they have an advantage so zero couldn't be an option.

This is your opinion, but I don't think there is a "stoke advantage". I voted 1 only because there was not a zero option. It's all about the thrower, not the disc!

Maybe poll should have been:
1-5
6-10
11-15
16+

Actually, it should have been 0, and > 0. That would've covered it.

now that wouldnt have been nearly in keeping with the spirit of the thread

i dont know about that. some discs get me totally "stoked"

thus a stoke advantage

I'm just glad I got to vote before the inevitable.

Its the archer, not the arrow

Yeah, an 11x Eagle. Notice that almost every Innova disc that any pro throws is about 10 years old...

 

[Horsman]

I just re-read. You never slammed their fairways, you claimed that they just had tweeners...but I don't feel that is valid. My apologies for the misquote.

Yea, didn't try to slam. To me Trilogy has a lot of tweener fairways which is why I'm not a big fan of them. Like the saint pro. Great disc, but is to fast for me to get it to hold the line I want a fairway to hold.

He lost the USDGC.

 

[burdphil]

He lost the USDGC.

He lost it plenty of times throwing Innova as well, including in 2012. In fact, I believe his placing improved in 2013 over 2012...

You guys keep leaving out the River when talking Lat64...

River is just a better Leopard. Leopard is a fairway driver, right? :gross:

Rivers are good only if you max out at like 300' ...

 

[jimbosprint]

Unless you can throw a River 350+, which is possible if you aren't a torque monkey.

I'm going to bite on this just because. Overall I think there is a few strokes giving up just from switching companies. Not because of the disc themselves. My early switch rounds suffered too. But now I'm playing 7-10 strokes better then in the past. It's more of a learning curve then a disc curve

For the record I am a mix bag player with 6 or 7 different companies in my bag

 

[@iDiscGolf]

This is stupid...

But, with that said. It is funny when Non-Innova pros have Innova discs bagged with THEIR companies stamps (non-innova). I think thats kinda fake.
