This Hawg is everything I love about my champ Rhyno, but in a sticky plastic.
ok. so I threw my extensively this weekend and this is what I have to say:
they are essentially innova's answer to the breaker (DGA). they are almost identical in profile.
they throw like a slower gator. I haven't thrown a pig but I remember them being slightly higher profile. They are nice. I was getting them out 150+ and letting them fade in. You can easily flex these discs to the right and back left (RHBH). They do turnover easily if you oversnap though so I am guessing no V-tech. the profile looks like a thumbtracked whale. seriously, look at it.
has it found a place in my bag? maybe, I have to put them against the breaker and see who wins.

So will Innova bring these into mass production? Are any of you still throwing the Hawg?

Lost my Champ Rhyno last week and tossed the Hawg back in the bag until I can dig out a replacment.
I kinda want to like it, but I just don't. The extra meat in the rim combined with the ultra sticky plastic, cause me to grip lock it bad. I have never had grip lock issues with other discs, but this thing won't leave my hand lol.
Its a cool concept, but I don't need it in my bag.

Reading the description of the Hawg on the pro store website, it mentions that it handles power better that the Rhyno. I'm curious, as someone who throws the disc but would never say that I throw it HARD -- what improvement did the Rhyno need to handle lots of power effectively?

None that I'm aware of. BH my champ Rhyno's have no problem being ripped out to 300ft. FH they will flip easy, but I have terrible wrist roll with my FH so I'm not a good judge of that.

Bringing this thread back to life.
What ever happened to this disc? Is it already OOP?

Never went into full production as far as I know. They just did a test run release on the Factory Store. Either they didn't get great feedback from testers or else they just decided that between the Pig, Rhyno, and Gator, they didn't really need it. Whatever the case, I don't think it ever saw a full production run.

Ahhh, Thanks for the info. ^^^^^
For a while I was really looking forward to trying one, and then the chatter died.

Champion Hawgs are up on the Pro Shop.
Snatched two Champ Hawgs...Pink and Red (and one of the new totem Teebirds) We'll see how they fly..they would have to be pretty special to knock out my Scales..

They're back up on the pro shop.
He is recieving 10 testers soon and he thinks it will be that or a pig for a overstable flick disc. Along with the star whippet
Got my Hawgs in today but we are having some gnarly winds today (100 mph gusts in some spots) but I have Friday off so I'll give them a thorough testing then.
These do feel good in the hand. Super flat. The Blizzard rim is a little weird (and very noticeable in hand feel) but I dont think it will be an issue long term. Pretty shallow. Certainly moreso than my Scales.

How do they compare to Pigs?
