[Innova] Innova Daedalus

PDGA Link

"The INNOVA Daedalus has wings to fly far down the fairway The INNOVA Daedalus is a new maximum downwind distance driver crafted for less powerful players. The disc will double as a long distance roller for more advanced players. The INNOVA Daedalus will be available in GStar plastic and is initially rated 13, 6, -4, 2. The Daedalus likes to be thrown low. Make sure it doesn't soar too close to the sun." - by Innova Discs

More flippy high speed premium plastic...

Interesting name for the disc and Greek Mythology back story. Seems like they are reinventing the vulcan in g-star, but I am guessing very flippy as well.

A Gstar Vulcan, definitely the most sought after mold in Innova's lineup

My problem with this is that it was Icarus, not Daedalus, that flew too close to the sun and thus plunged to his death in the sea.

seems interesting. i might be interested but i dont throw anything faster than a speed 12.

^^This... Daedalus never left the ground if I remember Greek mythology correctly

 

[Streets]

I always thought Daedalus made it because he didn't fly so high.

No, he did. He was icarus' dad, and made their wings. He warned icarus not to fly too high or too low because the sun would melt the wax on his wings or the sea water would soak them

 

[Streets]

Yep just double checked the myth. Daedalus made it, while Icarus flew too close and fell out of the sky into the sea and drowned.

Speed 13 flip machine. Awesome.

**may have just been looking for a spot to use that gif**

Icarus

Song version of the story. Icarus flew, Daedalus did not.

Dude, when I saw this thread I automatically thought of Thrice.

 

[SaltySlug]

Well then I stand corrected...

 

[Pwingles]

"To escape, Daedalus built wings for himself and Icarus. They successfully flew from Crete, but Icarus' wings melted when he flew too close to the sun, and he drowned in the sea. Daedalus buried his son and continued to Sicily, where he came to stay at the court of Cocalus."

Stephan Daedalus? :| :| :|

 

[Qikly]

Looks like the name worked: more people talking about that than the disc itself.

Not sure what distinguishes this from the Tern on first glance; I suppose this is a little faster?

 

[Streets]

At least they didn't go with Icarus. That would have set the disc up for failure.

Dude, when I saw this thread I automatically thought of Thrice.

I may buy this disc simply for that reason alone. Just listened to Daedalus before bed last night.
