Probably not - as it was my first time throwing it, I didn't know what to expect. This It was closer to the Diamond than the River, but in other plastics and weights your mileage may vary.
Good comparison!

I was wondering if this is the PLS that Millennium just ran again. I need to get my hands on both and compare. I keep just buying old PLSs when I find them.
Also, this disc was clearly named by an old man who does not understand search engines. This disc is going to be short lived if only because no one will be able tol find IT. If you like IT, you should probably stock up while you can.

Wouldn't a glidier leopard be a LL? You know, like the TL where the L means Leopard
Nah, this is supposed to have that convex v-Tech kinda wing. The PLS has the old-school concave wing like a Cheetah.

Cheetah was my first and only disc back in the day. Auto-NICE engaged.

Dude, this is a great goal that I might copy. I want to have a section of wall covered in cat discs. Coincidentally I am in the process of trading for a 2020 luster Shryke because I love the stamp. I'm guessing I like it because it has a cat on it. It's destiny.

Stamp doesn't look like a clown or a computer. I'm not buying It.

Got to see one in person at a Charlotte store last Friday. While I generally love discs with those numbers, I already have too many, and the shape is just a little too odd for me to purchase.

PLS
Cheetah X top....Whippet wing
Cheetah X top....Whippet wing
I mean it's the old Whippet wing which was still concave, and the It is supposed to be vTech convex...why didn't they just call it the vLeopard? Did they just bail on the v-names?

Yo...3P...huh?
Sos, the Whippet, eh? The disc that has been around for like the last oh 22 years there? It's the Whippet X. The wing on the Whippet back in the day when I was learning that I can't throw Whippets was a more concave/can't really tell it from the Cheetah wing by sight anyway kinda sorta wing and the Polaris LS had that Whippet wing because when the Polaris LS came out that was the Whippet wing, they didn't have the Whippet X wing dontcha know? Sos if you just go "Whippet wing" 22 years later people might think Whippet X wing.
Of course Innova is notorious for forgetting how to make Millennium discs to they might be using the Whippet X wing on the Polaris LS now; the last Polaris LS I got was a QPLS that was from a mid '00's run they found in a warehouse. It was a hoot; brand-new like 2017 stamp on a cloudy fingerprinty Champ disc that was clearly breaking down already. Things that make you go...hun?
The JLS used the same "Old Whippet" wing originally; I threw a QJLS on Sunday and didn't check to see if it's the same wing. I'm not that big of a geek. :\ I "think" the PLS, PLF and JLS all used that wing, it was just PLS/Cheetah top, PLF Gazelle top, JLS TeeBird top.
The It I would think might be in the JLS ballpark but less stable? Maybe? I'm still trying to talk myself out of buying an It. If it's in the ballpark of a beat-up JLS, I got that covered.
We can hope! Not that IT is a great name, I find myself consciously looking for other ways to refer to the disc, which is NOT what I should be thinking about on the course, but that's a me problem. Who knows, I might be back here singing the ITs praises for helping me improve at tuning out distractions down the road.

I had always thought it was pretty wild that you take the teebird top and whippet bottom and get a disc that is straighter than either.

Leopard was the original Innova V-tech driver according to D. Dunipace

V-Tech = convex on the outer portion of the rim and are flat/concave/beaded near the bottom inner rim. I have read/heard the Valkyrie & FD mentioned as V-Tech drivers but never heard the Roadrunner convex rim described that way. The IT is more like a 7 speed Roadrunner from the profile view.
Innova went away from the V-naming scheme with the Manta/Lion/Invader/Wombat(3)/Xero already. VRoc is the only remaining V-named disc on the Innova site disc chart. Only approved V-named discs were the VRoc and VAviar...

This..
I recoiled in horror after touching one.
I prefer straight angles in rims. Slightly convex or slightly concave is great. I also really dont like beads. Microbeads (like the RR's) never bother me, but even the Stalker's bead is no bueno.
The "IT" is _very_ convex and has a very pronounced bead. It felt like a speed 7 Wombat3.
The winged cat stamp and my love of fairway drivers cannot save this disc for me.
To be fair, nothing was going to replace the Pro/Millennium JLS for the understable JLS spot in my bag anyway.
