My PFN is like that compared to a champ 2x Barry I have, which is like a superdome. I do have a 166 G* I havent thrown much do to mold scale down for an in the car bag and my on the road. Ill get on that G* for some field work soon.

I feel like the leopard and firebird are due for the three treatment.

I hope Leopard3 is a joke, there's no need to beef up that disc.
The only pro I have has gross dome

Good grief! A Firebird3 would be a royal meathook.
And a Leopard3? Sounds like a flattop TL... and they've got a TL3 already...

I saw one posted on FB for sale that came from the Worlds Fly Mart. A pic of the back of the disc was posted and it had the Innova sticker on it that clearly said Leopard3...
Beyond that, I quickly moved on and tried to block the image from my mind in hopes that I could pretend I never saw it.
I cannont understand the need for this. The Leopard is such an Iconic and unique mold, there is just no reason to screw with it. No one needs a faster Leo...That is called an EL, TL, JLS, or River.
I've got 425ish power and continue to bag a Pre-Barry Leo for my US fairway. Around Charlotte and other heavy wooded areas, its really all the speed you need after a putter on 80% of holes.
I dunno though...I guess if Innova can eek more speed and stability out of the same basic rim/wing configuration, then there is nothing wrong with diversity. For folks who arent comfortable with larger rimmed discs, it would represent a different flight with the same hand feel.
I just jump to a TB then PD for faster.

I feel like the Leopard3 would basically be a flat Pinnacle Patriot, which I love for hyzer flip and long turning shots
Agreed.
Patriot is noticeably faster than a Leo, even giving the "3" treatment wouldn't quite bring it to Patriot speed.

I guess I'm in the minority here but I would love to check out a Leo3...
I used to have a Glow Champ Leo that was Pre-Barry era and flat as can be. It had surprisingly great HSS and a reliable LSS. Great disc. Threw alot like a new TL but of course a tick slower. I'd love to have that disc easily accessible again.

The 7 class is without a Leo type disc unless you count a beat Eagle.

I will definitely give this new leo 3 a shot, but I doubt it could replace the regular leo's. They are like a long mid range for me, so workable at lower power levels, and reliable turnovers at full power. But I do have a gap in understable discs from the leo to the beat valk.

IMHO the TL fits nicely in the speed 7 near-Leopard category.

The Patriot (Excel for flippy, Icon for just dead stinkin' straight) kicked out both the Leopard and TL in my bag so I would say that Innova speed 7 has a gap that could be filled with this disc.

Me too, I was carrying a combination of Leopard/Eagle/Teebird for years and I've replaced everything with the Patriot/PD combo. Patriot covers everything straight to flippy. Icon for straight, Pinnacle for turnover, Excel for the flippy/roller spot.
I think something a tick less stable than a TL out of the box would be a good disc for Innova. The easy solution is "beat up a TL" or "cycle DX Eagles/Teebirds" but not everyone is up for that.
Yeah, I run a Brinster Teebird, Champ Teebird, Icon Patriot, Excel Patriot fairway lineup at the moment. Covers everything I need, and I like that the Patriot is slightly faster than the Leopard.
