Ask Dave D about Innova Here!!! - Page 45

Dave, nice third round at the USDGC! Over all 4 rounds, looks like you averaged 991 rated disc golf...

how are your feet doing?

also, what disc was your workhorse?

davei · Oct 18 2005, 03:44 PM

piknik, yes, we plan on making most of the candy discs in SB. I have been testing a Starfire L in SB and like it very much.

davei · Oct 18 2005, 03:58 PM

robj, thanks, my putt didn't start working until the third round. My feet were fine thanks. My workhorse disc had to be the Champion Wraith thrown sidearm. I used it on 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18 sidearm and 6, 9, 12, 13, 14 backhand. 1, 3, 15 were JK Aviar. 7 was Monster.

ellswrth · Oct 18 2005, 05:24 PM

Dave,

Do you get as much distance with your sidearm as you do with your backhand? Also, do you feel one is more accurate for you than the other? Just curious as to what your experiences are. I too like the Wraith for both backhand and forehand.

Matt

davei · Oct 18 2005, 06:17 PM

Matt, I get about 350 on a sidearm and about 400 on a backhand on a tee shot. If I tried to throw farther, my accuracy would suffer. Accuracy is about the same for both deliveries.

jaymo · Oct 19 2005, 01:47 PM

thanks dave, and good shotting at USDGC.

Crossing my fingers for those SB T's...

Dave,
Are the winners of the CFR raffle posted some where? Thx

Thx. I need to send my stack in for the next drawing.

Question: What is the main difference in flight between Glow discs and regular? Specifically:

Glow Teebird v. Champion Teebird
Glow Eagle v. Champion Eagle

ActiveCurrent · Oct 20 2005, 05:20 PM

Dave,
Can Special Blend plastic be made to glo?

davei · Oct 20 2005, 10:04 PM

Chris, I don't know any difference personally, but I have heard that the glow is a little more stable.

davei · Oct 20 2005, 10:05 PM

Kdiddy, I don't think SB would glow very well. The color would mask it.

colin-evans · Oct 20 2005, 10:06 PM

Pleas move over to the new uneffected Ask Dave D. thread.

What year did the pro classic roc come out?

DrewNC · Sep 25 2012, 03:16 PM

Hey Dave, what can you tell about these SE Rocs? All others I have seem say Super Roc in the bar stamp, these do not. Thanks!

Contact Mark Molnar at Innova West and he may be able to help you with this question. I can't. Sorry.

20460chase · Sep 27 2012, 11:50 AM

Those are 1st Run Super Rocs. There is another with the more modern barstamp, than all the Worlds remakes, then some other remake with the 2nd Run stamp w a small Innova swoosh on the bottom.

Dave, how is it supposed "dead" stamps make it back to modern product?

What is a dead stamp? No stamps are dead unless they are destroyed, but no discs are stamped with an old stamp to pass it as an old disc, if that is what you mean. Any time we use a retro stamp, we let any customers know exactly what it is.

Have you considered devoting a part of your site to these re-released discs and images to avoid confusion? I know it sounds like work, but Im sure you would find that the attention it got would be worth doing it. People are very into anything Innova, vintage stamps, disc history, ect. Just because you tell the customer doesnt mean anyone else will. Case in point, the remake "Hands" stamped Aviar Im staring at...

joegraham · Oct 04 2012, 05:25 PM

Dave, what's this I hear about Paul McBeth signature CHAMP ROCs?!!! What tooling are they? Are they just USDGC CFRs or are they going to be production discs? I can't wait!

These were a limited release Roc 3 mold. Although Paul's signature is on it, it may not be a Paul McBeth Roc if he is not completely happy with it. This mold will be released to the public in a few months. It is not as over stable as the regular Rancho and is a little flatter.

The USDGC Rocs are the regular Ranchos with a special material to make them fairly flat.

futurecollisions · Oct 09 2012, 08:38 PM

Dave,

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but I was wondering why the blizzards no longer have bubbles in the flight plate? For instance, the first run blizzard bosses are already highly sought after because the bubbles in the flight plate.

Thanks

We can run more consistently with the bubbles in the rim. Why do people think bubbles in the flight plate are better?

The flight is different, I have noticed this too. The new blizzard bosses with bubbles only in the rim seem to have a very sharp hyzer finish, while the first runs with bubbles in the flight plate have a more smooth turn and fade. I have seen players getting over 500ft with the first runs and struggle to get 450 with the new ones, which may be why so many players are seeking them out

cgkdisc · Oct 11 2012, 09:18 AM

In theory, wouldn't more bubbles in the middle (vs rim) mean a little more weight in the rim for a given total disc weight increasing a gyroscope effect?

Spinthrift · Oct 11 2012, 09:34 AM

I have to agree that the earlier Blizzards with bubbles in the flight plate -- particularly the early F2s -- give me more distance with better glide than the clear flightplate ones. I've done side-by-sides with F2 Bliz Wraiths, Bosses and Katanas vs. later, rim-only bubbles and for me the difference is clear. Another benefit is the more-solid rim F2s take hits a lot better and don't "shred" along the rim edge nearly as badly as the later ones.

20460chase · Oct 11 2012, 08:32 PM

I would also agree, especially in the case of the Boss.

All the bubble plate Destroyers were way overstable. Im still yet to flip one.

gvan · Oct 11 2012, 09:39 PM

I just think they look cooler...

...sort of like a blizzard...
