I've never thrown one, so I couldn't really tell ya.
A lot of people find them to be unpredictably flippy. As with most Innova discs there are inconsistencies from run to run. I used to have a 1st run that was pretty stable.
All discs are wonderful...all throwers are not
*gives loki 1 reputation point*
As they say, "every Groove is a unique snowflake of suck."
When the disc came out it was supposed to be a more beginner friendly version of the Boss. It wasn't. They really run all over the place in terms of stability, you don't know what you're getting with them.

New sig! Thanks, Bro D!
Thanks, I wish I could take credit for that one, but I can't. It's a DGR proverb.
Hmmmm is it the nose angle or the stability hmmmmm
I can't control it either but I have the same issue with the SL maybe some molds r just finnicky

You still influenced me to use it, so there.
That's a FD quote right there

What a great reply! I will remember this next time I'm giving a lesson and someone is complaining about a perfect piece of plastic.:thmbup:
I just wanted to put that groove in a watery grave from a 1000+ foot toss. It was worth it.
And yeah, if you ever come up to Michigan and get a chance to goto the Sleeping Bear Dunes, don't pass it up. Easily the most scenic place in Michigan next to the "Pictured Rocks" in the U.P. Plus it's amazing to throw a disc from the top. Even a groove made it all the way down to the water.
I had someone tape the throw for me, but he didn't press record on time. So I didn't get to put it on youtube like I planned.

If you have one groove and you figure out how to use it, it'll probably work well for you. Most of them are not overstable though, and they're just finicky - not forgiving with nose and release angle. Its what I use for s-curve, tailwind sidearms though... and steep tomahawks up to about 200'.

The groove is like any other disc. If thrown with proper technique and in the right situation it is a great disc. Most people would probably get better results if they got rid of all the plastic that is way out of their power range and moved to less stable discs like the groove.
The term I hear most about the Groove is "very nose sensitive"

You're quite the role model, Frankie. :thmbup:
