So I searched ye olde internets and found an Innova Hammer with a hammer on it and a Hammerhead with a hammerhead shark on it, but in a different pose than this one; as if viewing the shark from the bottom up rather than top down. I bought this at the IOM pro shop in Texas. $10, used 8/10.
This disc's marked weight is 178. Innova Champion Discs Inc. San Marino, CA. I think it's DX though it feels softer and more flexible than my other DX discs. Probably a mid range.
What say you all? Any info on flight rating?
That version of the Hammer was when it converted from a small-diameter disc to a large diameter mid. It was made in the early to mid 90's and advertised as "unbreakable" because it was molded with a very thick flightplate that won't easily crack. At the time, DX was the only plastic Innova made so an "unbreakable" DX was a good selling point.Edit: I'm an idiot. Thought this was in the "What is this disc worth?" thread.
These are probably the most common Hammers out there. There is also the Hammer with the hammer on it, the Hammer Head (different), and the wedge Hammer. Past those little pieces of info, I'm useless.
It's probably old chalky DX and that's why it feels different.
Unfortunately, taking so much weight out of the rim and putting it in the center of the disc made the Hammer fly very slow, somewhat understable and all-around squirrely. As soon as the Millennium Aurora MS came out (a great stable mid that was basically unbreakable because of the better plastic it was made from) the Hammer went OOP. There was a brief attempt to bring it back as a floater (the "Hammerhead") but it didn't last.
