I just saw that the Boss is listed on the Innova site and its rated as a -1 turn. Does that mean they wont be like an Xcaliber with more turn resistance? Were those olny the pre-releases?
Yes and no. The Boss is running with variation, like all the wide rimmed discs. The domey top version is more XCaliber like, (it was what I was originally testing), the flat version has a -2 turn and is very long, but also hard to predict in some situations. The mode variation turns out to be more Destroyer like with a -1 turn and a flight plate in between domey and flat. Probably 90 % will be the -1 type.
All 4 of mine I would call -1. I think it is going to simply replace my Destroyers. The "sweet spot" or cruising speed of the Boss' flight path seems more forgiving than the Destroyer. Somehow it seems faster yet less squirrely...I know it flies better on a flat line than a Destroyer. It also has a later fade than a Destroyer. None of mine are much like an Excaliber.

I can't yet speak for the durability of the plastic, but I must say that it is some of the best feeling champion plastic yet. It is very tacky, yet fairly rigid at the same time. I know that you guys must be tinkering with the plastic blend to get these to weight, but it does not seem to be affecting the quality. Great job Dave!

PS: I must contradict Dave's early assertion that the Boss will only benefit big arms...I think anyone who throws a Wraith or a Destroyer is going to want to try the Boss. I KNOW all the greybeards down here in FL are going to be throwing this disc for 300'+ hyzers. Its that easy to throw.
