[Innova] Is Innova lacking a true understable fairway driver?

[brandocommando9]

Chill dude, there has a lot of people with good posts without recommending another disc. No need for the negativity.

Sorry wasn't trying to be negative just saying your op is right so what is their to discuss really.

I really don't use much dx stuff I did throw dx teebirds for awhile but once I gained more power I didn't see a point I can make the same turnover shot with a sanny champ stingray and for I get more control with the stingray too

Power has very little to do with it. I have decent power and for slower discs I throw base plastic since that's what flies better.

I mostly agree mashnut but you would think with as many molds as they have out now they would have a stingray/roadrunner/mamba type disc which are all understable in premium plastic.

Perhaps, but that's not what sells. Understable fairway drivers should be the go to noob disc, but they're not. Innova makes a whole lot more money by churning out new distance drivers.

This is another reason I didn't recommend dx the op knows he could season a dx quite easily so if he wanted to do that why make the thread.

Cheetah?

Current production is dx only and not really understable. So far the closest things in innova to a premium plastic understable fairway driver is:
Star/dx stingray 4 5 -3 1
Dx leopard 6 5 -2 1
Dx archangel 8 6 -4 1
Champ/star roadrunner 9 5 -4 1

So for me your either sacrificing grip, distance or control. I think a 7 5 -3 1 would go over quite well.

He made it to discuss the hole in the lineup and see if anyone else has noticed and/or agrees with the need of adding a more understable fairway driver. I actually noticed it last week and briefly wondered if anybody else has thought of this.

P.S
The thread wasn't made for suggestions.

 

[brandocommando9]

Almost every poster has made a suggestion streets!

Just to be clear, are you suggesting that base plastics have less grip than champ or star?

Then almost every poster must not have read the entire OP Brando!

 

[brandocommando9]

For sure lol just felt like you was picking on me.

What about a Star Kite? I've never thrown one so can't add much other than throwing it out there.

 

[The Hammer]

I agree with the OP. For this slot I've been using a beat up JLS.

For me they do, not necessarily everyone. I take that back pro feels good but dx doesn't.

Not picking on, just exchanging since you were the one to respond. The reason for the thread is to open up discussion and hopefully Innova will be like "You know those cats are right, we need a fliptacular Speed 7 disc."

DX Leopards.

Forgot about this one, a little faster than a stingray. Numbers are 5 6 -3 1. Same speed as a roc.

Gotcha, I thought you were saying that the premium plastics were actually grippier, not just that you had a personal preference for them.

Everyone bring it in for a nice big Internet hug lol

No, Innova is not missing a true understable fairway. You just don't like to throw it.

150 DX Leopard, btw. Never found one that's not flippy out of the box.

"It" being...?

seasoned pro valks work miracles for me when I need a left to right shot
