Why all the Innova Hate?

[DanJon]

I'm an idiot. I used there instead of their. Ashamed.

That reads like you knocked up your own sister with the quote in your post.

Didn't know that's how you all did it in Wisconsin.

I caught that too. I thought that kind of thing only happened in Kentucky (they'd tell you it's West Virginia, but West Virginians will tell you it's Kentucky so...).

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results. :wall:

Too many polarizing opinions on how MVP is the gold standard for consistency while Innova is a joke for their inconsistency. Some people believe that as the absolute truth, others do everything they can to debunk them both.

So naturally any sort of discussion on quality circles back to those above statements and out come the truthers and defenders. Welcome to DGCR. :doh:

For sure, I have a peptmo bismol Volt and cannot get it to act understable or even stable. Not a bad stable to overstable fairway driver with a lot of glide, but I do not believe this fits its common description. Just agreeing that all companies have their inconsistancies in molds.

Sssshhhhhh, don't say that people might learn something.

How does every thread become an MVP thread?

Cuz MVP lovers are blamed as the main Innova haters it seems. I blame Lat64 and Feldbeard myself.

Innova will always have a place in my bag...it might be as a water hazzard disc, but it still is there for me when i need it. j/k. I'm not an innova hater, as you can tell from browsing my disc pics. however i just happen to like my vibrams and latitude 64 disc better. I play the same courses but always seem to get better scores using my river, or ascent over any other disc. On a serious note, i pick up innova dx disc at discgolfcenter for cheap and do use them as hazzards. i love the grip of the innova dx plastic, however the dx has never lastest long for me. I use alot of overhand shots and always find that one tree.

I might become a Big Sky-like fanboy soon.

Hey, if you reach Johnny Depth level, you know you've arrived.

I was just posting elsewhere about how I don't understand brand loyalty and corporate tribalism and that the noise it causes people to make. I really don't.

As for my apparent endorsement in BigSky's sig, well..

One does not simply dislike an MVP disc without being wrong/shunned/dismissed as a player with credible expectations and experiences.

Hey, if you reach Johnny Depth level, you know you've arrived.

I'm now looking at picking up a Shock to compliment my Volt.

Also? Axis.

:doh:

Yes and Yes. Can't go wrong with either one.

The Tangent is also a superb midrange. It's just not quite as long as the Axis.

There you go. Sig changed.

All the Innova hate (and the fact it's the only brand that is really available in my hometown) is making me trend back towards an all Innova bag. Well those two reasons and the fact that they have some terrific molds (Leopards, Valkyries, Rhynos, Rocs, Banshees... just to name a few).

 

[blackcatsmith]

Innova introduced me to disc golf, and to that I owe them a great deal, but... I've decided to use what disc golf life I have left throwing a mixed(and I do mean mixed) bag if for no other reason than I enjoy buying new plastic, as well as throwing different molds from different manufacturers. I like to think of my disc collection as sort of a baseball organizations' farm team. If one performs well at the practice field it gets called up to the majors, or in this case the bag.

Yeah I'm sure there's a market for it, I always see so many guys throwing MVP & MVP fan boys at tournaments

 

[AndyJB]

I bet you could look at sales data and Innova and Discraft's worst-selling discs likely outsell the best-selling discs of most of the competitors. These two companies own disc golf...and Discraft also owns Ultimate.

It's human nature to root for the underdog.
