[Innova] Gstar Tern - Did I get a bad one?

[Vintervilan]

I've had the Champion Tern for a year or so, and I absolutely love it. Release it on a few degrees hyzer and it will flip up, glide for ages and finish predictably left. So a week ago or so, I purchased the Gstar Tern. Same specs as the Champion Tern, but waaaay understable. If I release it flat, it flies almost directly into the ground and rolls. Release it hyzer, and it goes far right. Pretty disappointed.

I think the turn in the gstar tern is -1 more than the champion but in your case it sounds like the -4 of the star tern.

Yeah, you're right, it's -3 when the champion is only -2. but the difference is huge. If I compare to my Gold-Line bolt which is -3 also, they are nothing alike. Weird. And the disc isn't even beat in yet.

What are the weights?

 

[bobmcnelly]

How far are you throwing your champ Tern?

 

[Vintervilan]

What are the weights?

171 on the champion tern and 168 on the gstar. Would it really affect it that much?

 

[Vintervilan]

How far are you throwing your champ Tern?

I'd say I throw the champ tern roughly 380+ feet each time.

You got a bad one. Best bet is to buy locally and pick one out with a similar PLH as your gamer.

That's just the dealings of buying discs. terns (innnova in general....) are pretty notorious for this problem-- specially considering they have different stability ratings for the star terns.

Bummer' If you buy another champ tern it might not fly the same either :\

not at all(the stickers could be off just as much and both discs actually scale 170g lol). maybe once you start getting into 25g differences sure'

Yeah, that would really suck, because I love my champ tern, and I plan on buying a couple more of them Generally, which brand is the most consistant one? I'm kinda leaning towards Latitude being my favorite brand at the moment because my bolt and saint are simply awesome.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

Eh they all have their problems'

Latitude isn't much better with some of their ratings and higher speed drivers.
They seem to test some of their discs in zero gravity chambers or something'

 

[Vintervilan]

Hmm, I actually just weighed the Gstar Tern and it is in fact only 162 grams, not 168.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

aint that a bitch. like my max weight MVP that scale illegal :\

 

[Vintervilan]

yeah, makes you wonder what else is wrong in the bag

 

[Aim For The Chains]

its why I tend to just not weigh discs in general or care. More often than not when a disc feels good in the hand its going to fly nice on the course (specially once you have seen enough and know what to look for etc..) study your good tern so you know how to easily pick out replacements'

 

[Vintervilan]

Good idea. I was hoping the Gstar Tern could replace the Champ Tern eventually because I really love the plastic, but this one goes into the closet and I'll get another Champ Tern Instead.

But before I do that, I'm going to try on my new Gstar Krait and Star Krait Pumpkin, both maxweight, that should be arriving on Monday

sums up innova...and yet im still the fool who still throws a few of their discs

 

[PMantle]

I guess I got lucky. My G* fits right in between my Champs ands Stars.

 

[rallyguy]

I got my g star from dehass's fundraiser and it bombs...maybe grab one from him if you are going to give them another shot?
