ehh what if i dont have either of them...lol i dont throw cheetahs or rocs.. ill just grab the ruler
Basically any Innova driver is going to be a small diameter discs. A Roc, Cobra, Stingray, Viper, Buzzz, Coyote, Mako, Shark, Wolf...all of those are larger 21.7 cm discs. If you have any of those you can compare.
 
Nah, just see if the diameter is closer to a driver like a Wraith or closer to the diameter of the Stingray. I already know it's not a Stingray, so a side by side won't really tell us anything.
 
INNOVA - CHAMPION DISCS , INC. ONTARIO, CAL 91761 U.S.A on the one side and the other says PATENT NO. 4,568,297
Ontario narrows your candidates down by quite a lot. Viper, Whippet, Griffin, Gazelle. A couple others. Not a lot of discs had Ontario tooling.
 
But...I must mention that if somebody tried to tell you that an Ontario tooled disc was an Eagle/Aero hybrid, NEVER listen to that person again in reference to golf discs again. Total information fail.
 
Not a Whippet bc i compared it to my star one the other day and its not a gazelle bc i have a glow one. I threw it in a wide open field and it was a strong meat hook at first and i threw it again and it flipped up on me but went back to the hook.
 
The white disc is a Star Stingray and the Blue disc is a 1st run wasp tooled Elite X BUZZZ

The Whippet you are looking at and the Whippet the would have been made with a proto stamp are completely different discs. The wing is totally different on the current Whippet.
 
OK, it is going to be a Raven most likely due to the crazy dome you mentioned. When I get home I'll pull some discs out to compare and see if I notice anything; it's been a long time since I looked at a Raven or Viper so I might be missing something.
 
Don't know too much info about the raven, but here's a profile pic of one! Hold your's up to this pic.

The Raven was just a less stable Viper. It's a slow, old school driver. It has some decent glide due to the larger diameter. I didn't care for them; I could throw a Roc farther so I didn't see the point.
 
would you have any idea mine would go for? In the condition it is in and what not? It is truly a 9/10 but its just the ink that lessens the value
