[Innova] R-Pro Boss

[Craton]

Okay, so I'm starting this because I went onto Innova's website, and found that the Boss is coming out in their R-Pro plastic starting June 8th. It comes in weights of 135-164g, and is supposedly much more manageable...WHAT THE HECK! This is SO weird. If you don't believe me:

This thread is to get our "WTF, mate" out of the way before it's release, and then after it comes out, I'd like to hear from those of you who pick one up what weight you got and how it's handling for you.

i think that a disc that fast shouldnt be so flippy and light.

 

[Discgolfer219]

I'll buy one. I like light weights too. finally I can try it.

On a side note, I think it's funny that another disc that they put the time and effort into releasing in R-Pro was the Hydra...

what? i hated that disc. i think that the r pro is a great plastic but enough is enough. next it will be used on every disc.

Yeah Boss, Skeeter, Hydra, Cro, Aviar are on the front page right now...

neat green on the boss though.

I'd actually like to see the R-Pro line expanded. I'd definitely buy an R-Pro Teebird, Wraith or Starfire.

I have a 150G R-Pro Boss, it goes nice and straight for me-really, really far.

 

[Dillon_Gourley]

I think the majority of their disc should be made in the R-Pro plastic.

*spews tea on himself after reading Skeeter* Hell yeah! Just when I thought I was done buying discs for a while, they go and make a new Skeeter! Sweet!

My R-Pro Boss flips sweet for me when I chuck it. Massive distance. I'd love to see a regular production line!

i got one of the test run r-pro bosses a month or two ago, whenever they came out, and i NEVER throw it....the disc is flippy, too light, and DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT throw it into a tree.... this disc is has no durability to it what-so-ever, the only time ill bring it out is on a wide open hole, with absolutely no wind....and i still dont like it....its more of a show off/collector disc

thanks for saying that innova, now i won't go out and spend 10 bucks for the information.

hey some people on here like em, but ive never played with another person that would prefer it over the other discs they throw.....i guess its all personal opinion....

Here is another thread on a tournament R Pro Boss that went into limited release you may want to check out. I think it throws more like my Wraith than my Champion Boss, but with a hint more fade at the end.

When is Innova gonna update their main page to include an icon for R-Pro plastic on the appropriate models...?

Hopefully never. The stuff is hands-down the worst plastic I've ever thrown. Terrible durability. The stuff makes the old Lightning plastic seem like CE.

Sorry, I've been a downer on the stuff from day one. Maybe it was self-fulfilling prophecy, but I expected to hate the stuff and I do.

 

[ERicJ]

Hmmmm... CE plastic lasts really, really long time... they don't make it any more.

R-Pro disintegrates upon contact... and they're putting everything in R-Pro now.

Sounds like marketing decisions to me...

Make 'em crappy so you can sell 'em another one. Worked well for General Motors didn't it? Well, for awhile anyway.
