[Innova] The Colt

Grabbed another DX proto today just in case they do change the mold - this disc has been money for me.

I know how you feel. I just got my third DX proto Colt. I'll rotate it with my second one, and the original is the backup and in the "all-DX" bag.

My original DX colt just has the tiniest turn. I added another dx to the bag. I had another colt near ace. The colt got a lot of chains but it was a weak side hit.

The straight flight takes some getting used to, but once you dial it in, lordy what a prize.

How has it been for putting vs driving (low vs. high power)?

For me, just fine. Today I threw the Colt about 175 ft. (estimate) to about 20 ft. from the basket, marked it, picked it up, threw it straight into the chains.

I don't often throw the Colt that far, though, as I have other discs that work well from long(er) ranges (outside 100-120 ft. or so). The Colt is good at all distances I've tried it. The only issue I've had is a touch of drift to the right (RHBH) on longer, harder, flat throws.

Everytime I throw the colt on a straight drive I have to remind myself of this. On say a 200' level shot chains high doesn't go too far by.

I played a one disc round with a DX Colt this morning at Sedgley Woods. Shot a 46 off the blues. I don't play the short tees often but that's my personal best.

I noticed today my XT star stamp Colt has a little turn to it now and I like it.

I might have to check XT Colt out. I liked my DX Colt for a few rounds, I could really get some impressive distance with it but then it got so flippy that I could barely throw it at all. I hit a tree with it and it bent a little bit, I managed to straighten it but all the stability was gone.

 

[SD86]

Anyone thrown the retooled (non-prototype) version yet? How is it? And how does it compare to protos?

 

[Meulen]

Innova released champion Whales, so I can only hope they release the Colt in champion plastic. Fingers crossed!

I believe it is very likely that Champion Colts will come out, as other VTech discs have come out in Champion plastic.

I'm still manifesting Star Colts.

The more I throw it the more I like the G* version of this disc. I basically use my McPro Aviar discs for my inside the circle push putts. But I really like the G* Colt for a little longer type spin putt with some glide. It won't go too far by if you miss but still has a great chance of hitting the chains and dropping. I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of glide that this G* version has. It pretty much has replaced my DX ones for all throws. I will probably stick with the G* until either a McPro version comes out(I can't imagine it will), or a star version comes out. I am just not sure if the star version will have as much glide or not? It might be interesting to have a Champion or Star version for driving and the G* for longer putting as well. I find that at about 250' or more I tend to get a bit too much turn with this disc unless I throw a hyser flip with it. I am just not consistent enough yet as a newbie to do that every time and I would rather just throw a Roc or something at 250 or more.

Does your GStar Colt go dead straight? A bit of drift? Fades at the end or lands softly? Thanks for the information...

Lands softer than the DX which I like. The flight is pretty comparable to a new DX I would say. It is hard to say but it may have a touch more turn with the new mold compared to the DX when thrown with some speed. Very little fade. I could be off on this but that is my initial thoughts anyway.

Sounds good, and sounds like the retooled Colt is not far off the prototype, which is a good thing. Thanks for the info.

Just wondering if people had some more feedback about the difference between the prototypes and the regular production mold. I picked up an XT, but it's been too windy to throw it. Our shop has another XT but it has the prototype stamp, not sure if I want to pick that one up as well or not.

Might not make a difference soon. Disc Golf Center is SOLD OUT of DX Prototype Colts. IMHO it won't be too long before they're all gone...

Good thing bought a stack of XT protos. I think I'll be good for a couple years.
