[Innova] From hype to horror-DON'T POST A GROOVE THREAD UNTIL YOU READ THIS!

[klay]

well a lot of people say its a terrible disc. i dont know why

A lot of people say there is a forum called "Equipment" for post about discs.

I say this thread belongs in The Landfill for lack of content. But that's just me.

 

[GLong]

not too bad of a disc but not a great disc either.

you don't think it's great, other people hate it. not much difference.

also I'm sure you know the Groove is a popular object of ridicule around here. You had to expect some comments

It's just very nose sensitive and fast. So any miscue in form or wind and it does it's own thing. Player error mostly. I've seen top players make great shots with a groove. Many also don't like the little groove on the underside of the lip...mah whatever.
Since the Katana came out those with poor form can get similiar results without the same required skill.
Basically the groove is not a very forgiving discs and requires a great deal of skill and perfect conditions to throw properly.

lulz ^^^

yes you're right it wasn't a gamble.

if it were a gamble you might have stood to gain something

To each their own, use it, if you like its worth the five spot you spent on it, and if you hate it no biggie. Just because it gets a bad rep on here doesn't mean that it won't work for you.

The only disc I bought and hated was a Champion Starfire.

 

[kinfolkfan]

I'm sorry.

 

[BrotherDave]

The Groove is in the heart, and that's where it should be.

Hey, on the upside, you now have a nice disc to throw,

either in a lake, or off a cliff, or anywhere else far from your bag.

Or to jukeshoe, who is the only person in the world who a groove works for.

These are my thoughts as well.

I'm perfecting my forehand hyzer flip shot, and the Groove is the disc that makes it possible for me. When I get it right, it goes laser straight, and farther than anything else I throw FH.

I also have a Star Monarch thats a meat and taters backhand fast anny disc, has not left my bag since I got it two years ago, so discs with rrrridges are not distracting to me in any way.

Throwing any of these discs is just a matter of understanding exactly what they were designed to do. The extreme combination of speed, turn, and glide, that the Groove is capable of, should be intimidating to most players, but if you get it understand it, its a great flyer.

 

[shinypickle]

I would not throw a groove if someone payed me to.

 

[warren1086]

Or you can just let the random scrub, who you dont like, that wants to play use it?

 

[Quezzy]

o and the monarch and groove do suck ass

 

[lokirising]

If I could throw a decent sidearm, then the Starfire wouldn't have been a problem.
