[Innova] Beast, Old mold vs. new mold

[discspeed]

I've been getting into the Tern, and looking at it's wing made me think of the old mold Beast. The Tern's wing is like a stretched out old mold Beast.

Just thought I'd take a picture to visualize discspeed's comparison. Came out with pretty chit quality though...

love me some beasts.. sad that i had to sell of my pearly old molds a year or so back when times got tough but at my arm speed the new mold is great and pretty much as fast as i go.. was curious i was thinking and dont remember ever seeing Glo Beasts... have they ever ran these in cfr?

There are glow dx beasts. There has never been a glow champion beast oddly enough.

^^ yeah i remember the glo dx but wonder why they have never ran them in champ glo.. hint hint Innova!

 

[Garryjercia]

Are the dx beasts with the animal stamps old mold as well?

 

[DiscinFiend]

The original mold was more stable. Once the Orc came out, Innova decided the two discs were too close in flight and retooled the Beast to be flippier. That's pretty much it. I know people who get ga-ga over old mold Beasts, but an Orc or Pro Starfire is a pretty good substitute and easier to find.

They may be similar in flight, but the way you throw them to get that flight is not the same...
Orc's are actually much more stable than an old mold beast. Orc's require more work to get a desired flight.

Beast - Retooled!

Information from Innova's dealer communication, via http://disccellar.ca/2014/10/innova-beast-retooled/

If you throw the Beast this information is important:

The Beast mold has been retooled to the ('03) specs. GStar is the first model to utilize this retooled mold. New Beast production runs will use the retooled mold. DX, Driver Pro, Champion, and Star available in the former configuration while supplies last.

So if you throw and like the Beast you have now, you may want to stock up. I have no idea how different they would feel to a regular thrower. GStar flight numbers: Speed: 10, Glide: 5, Turn: -2, Fade: 2.

innova ****ing with another mold? no way

 

[Fistymcbuttpuncher]

So does that mean they're bringing back the 10-5-2-3?

 

[JedV]

Not sure. Time will tell.

LOL, now they get to change them back and give them new names. Tried the new Innova _____ today, reminds me of the Innova _____

old mold beast is back?? SWEET

 

[The Birdie Beast]

SAY ITS SO!

 

[Three Putt]

It makes sense to me. The SL is gone; there is room to give the Beast more beef.

That they never should have screwed with the Beast in the first place is another story...

 

[The Birdie Beast]

This is great, I almost lost one of my beloved orig beasts on Wednesday(In the middle of the fairway). These really fill that hole in my bag between tee-birds and terns.

 

[CreemCheese]

Woo-hoo love old mold beasts. In fact, it's the only Innova disc I've been consistent with.

Can someone give me a short summary on the difference between the old mold and new flight-wise?

old mold was more stable (overstable)
