Well, I worked a 24 hour shift with a 1 hour nap instead of a lunch break, but I am still going to go play 9 at the school near me. Taking my mcpros to practice putting, and a t3, a 12x, and a brinster teebird to throw together.

Alright, the short story, in my opinion (threw a 172.4g merlot color): Less stable than a brinster of similar weight, but waaaaay more glide for how stable it still is. Thrown next to my 11x CA 174g I saw nearly the same flight except the T3 had less high speed turn. The t3 is much more resistant to form flaws exhibited by forearm players too. Whereas I can make a small mistake and really mess up throwing my 11x cal 169g teebird. Next to my 172g brinster, they had similar everything in flight but glide; the t3 glides and the brinster just doesn't unless it has a headwind.
Overall, this thing is pretty close to flying like a 175g glow flat top tb.

Flight of AJ TB in flat JL plastic?

Wonder if they will make some in the 160s. Or maybe just some marked 170g that actually weigh 165

I think I need to start weighing my new discs more often...
Am I the only one confused by "faster and less glide"?
Can someone just give some feedback on how it compares to a regular champ or star TB? Not everyone here throws 11x clearly. The brinsters just felt like a beefier TB with a + rim and no glide.

I had a couple of CFR Flat Teebirds from last year that were crazy overstable. Practically Firebirds.

Interesting, I have a glow champ + mold one that has little to no dome and has CAL engraving on the back, and it is beefier and has less glide, more so than the 11x champ I used to have.
That's typical of all plus mold TB's. They all have CAL engraving, tend to be beefier and have minimal dome.

172.6g max for my two. Come on innova....I would've still bought them at 172 but that's just bad.

I think the JL ring of Gators will go down in history as the 11x tb's did but to stock up on any new Innova disc for 'investment' purposes is a real shot in the dark. I bought a bunch of g* proto tb's and ended up selling them to most everyone in my circle of playing buddies at cost.
I find it suprising that a company with the resources and experience that Innova has can't reproduce (exactly) those molds that have become inconic. I know that most if it revolves around the hype of the first premium plastic but during that era, there seems to be quite a few molds that are preferred for their flight characteristics compared to the rare release today.

I feel like even if they stamped an old batch of discs the interwebs golfers would say they are entirely different based on PLH, rim, markings, etc all without even throwing them once.

mold life
i work in plastic ejection mold repair and new tool build. What prob happening is they are running molds with well over there life span and just repairing and running again. Heck of alot cheaper than a new mold being built. I have seen things come in that had well over 1 million shots on it and you couldn't even tell what it was until someone trimmed all the flash off the part. On a side note dont buy any of those cheap plastic yard chairs lol. trust me on this one

Those came out just a few months ago...of course you couldn't flip them for big bucks.
It's people like you that whine about selling a stack of disc at cost five years down the road.

At least I whine about something that actually affects me vs. some complete strangers business that has zero impact on me. lol
Yeah a couple of the Gstar FB's I received had the same problem. I was able to fix them but definitely pissed me off when I saw them.
I was going to email Innova but I have a hard time believing they would give a ****.
