Ask Dave Dunipace About Innova Discs - Page 424

Hi Dave,
We recently got our tournament order in from Innova. Along with all of the tournament stamped discs (which came out awesome by the way) we got a few extras including some lycans with the star stamp and another few drivers with the star stamp with "dv" on the bottom. What kind of disc are these? Are they the Dominator? Thanks!

Dave,

Is there any chance of seeing the Innova Ram making a come back for the Proshop?

Also, what about the piranha? My last one just cracked in half.

Ram yes, Piranha no. The Piranha mold no longer exists. Sorry.

Dave,

The newest run of star valks, is it in a plus mold? If it is, why was this done? The new star valks are nothing like the old ones and I know many people that wish it went back to the regular mold. Thanks for your time.

Hi Dave, my Blizzard Champ Destroyers (158g) are amazing. They seem faster than my heavy Destroyers, is that an illusion or because one gets more arm-speed given there is less mass to move? Like my 170's Star Destroyers they go crazy long on hyzer routes but seem faster & longer. Not sure if this may help other former ultimate frisbee players but I found out the reason I have trouble turning Boss'es is because I throw with an 'FU' grip and not the power grip. I tried the power grip and it inclines the nose much further down and the Boss turns easily. (although accuracy definitely suffers, at least for now...)

Dave I have been looking around for a while now at the different metal flake discs they have to offer, but just cant seem to find any Metal Flake Valkyrie's. Have they made any of them, or plan on doing so? The Valk is number one in my book and would love to get it in metal flake, or even in XG.

We do very little metal flake as it doesn't really agree with our machines. But there is always the possibility of small runs in any Champion model. I don't believe we have done any Valkyries as yet.

Whats the deal with these "Replica 10x Glow Rocs"

I don't know the details. KC Glow Rocs is all I know. Mark Molnar at Innova West might be able to tell you more.

Dana · Apr 04 2012, 03:02 PM

Ok, thanks. Stores (and people) are selling/marketing them as "The 10x Roc Mold". They have a throwback 10x style stamp, which I believe to be causing some confusion.

Is there a different KC Roc Mold? If so, how many different KC Roc molds are there? Or are those questions for Mark.

Thanks

There is only one KC Roc mold at this time. Originally we had one slightly different version that we used for 8X or 9X. It had a slightly blunter nose. Other than that, we have only used one mold which is called the Rancho mold. The hot stamp put on the disc, could be anything. I don't know much about the hot stamps. Only the molds themselves.

We do not have a plus valkyrie mold. We do have a slightly altered mold that allows us to make heavy Champion without filler. The only true plus molds are Roc/XD + and TeeBird/Eagle +

Dave, why can't you run Champ SW @ 150 anymore?

Sometimes we can, but sometimes the quality is not good enough or we are having too many rejects. It depends on the plastic we get from the supplier. It is not always the same.

AviarX · Apr 08 2012, 07:50 PM

Hey Dave,

Just noticed a few of the discs that have come out more recently and have a few questions: How similar are the Lycan and the Super StingRay and are either close relatives of the Aurora MS? What flight numbers would you give the MS?

Finally, I saw a Wedge today and it think it might improve my release consistency for putts, but I am hesitant to go down the 'sexy new putter' path again only to find the same old problem being the person behind the disc... How long has it been out and do you think it will eventually be released in R-Pro or super soft plastic?

The Lycan and the Super Stingray are close to the same flight as each other. The flight of the Lycan is a little more like the MS, and has more in common than the Super Stingray. MS flight numbers would be 4402. All three would have a different feel in the hand.

The Wedge has been out about a year, and is primarily a do everything short range disc. I don't know if we will make it in R-Pro, but we have made it in
Star.

Anytime you change putters there can be a period of time which you have an improved feel of the disc and therefore, an improved release. You can even get this "honeymoon" phenomenon with a driver. If you are happy with the flight of your current putter, stay with it and concentrate on popping the put with your thumb instead of your fingers. Grippy putters help with this. Thumtracs can help with this. Neither will pop the putt for you. I would recommend the Yeti over the Wedge. It is closer to the JK you have used, is tacky but firm, holds a straight line better than a JK as it has less low speed fade, and has a sort of thumb grip with the sunken flight plate.

Thanks for the Champion Zephyr's Dave!
Disc golf can get stressful at times. Practice is work, and messing up shots or not playing near potential is never fun.
The first few throws with my new Ch. Zephyr were like a revelation. "OH! Right! I do this 'cause it's fun!" I'd forgotten how pretty flying discs can be.
Thanks again.

drdisc · Apr 09 2012, 11:56 PM

The Sonic is the best out of the box turnover putter ever made. It is overlooked and should be in more bags.

desertstormvet · Apr 16 2012, 02:04 PM

Dave this may be a dumb question but Just currious, have you tried or plan on trying to put the bubbles into star plastic? Maybe it wont work in that plastic. I do love the blizzards and would love it in my favorite plastic. Thanks

mf100forever · Apr 16 2012, 06:59 PM

Dave, what is your plan for the Krait, when will it be released

We have done this in a minor way in the past. Starlite Bosses and Destroyers were the first. We were only able to shave a few grams off for these and it tended to make them more over stable than the originals.

We haven't got a release date yet for the Krait, but it will be made in Champion and Blizzard. I would have to guess at a June release.

Do you have a URL for this, because i scoured over both the innovadiscs.com and dealer.innovadiscs.com and Im not seeing any such info on the disc.

Maybe Chrome doesn't like the site.... I would try IE and look for it, but i'd rather not launch that piece of crap software.
