Ask Dave Dunipace About Innova Discs

[davei]

Dave,

Is there a timetable for moving the Star Shark out of the CFR program and into the regular rotation?

Thanks,

As soon as we can make sufficient amounts. Should be in September. They will be in the player packs at Pro Worlds.

[davei]

Hey Dave , what colors were run in the Star Coyotes ?

Could have been just about anything. I got a dark blue and pink one.

[davei]

Dave,
Is it possible to make a disc with a speed of 11 and a rim smaller then the wraith and teerex? Like say a teebird rim..hint hint [img]/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Thanks

Possible, but very difficult to also make it controllable.

[davei]

Yo Dave two questions Star Goblin???? (And when) And also, when your discs are tested at what altitude do they test them at? I live in Denver at 5200 feet and am trying to figure out a conversion system for your disc ratings.

Thanks
Scott

Star Goblin is currently available in CFR. We test discs at 1500 ft elev and lower. We do use them at 7200 ft when we play at Wrightwood.

I learned to compensate for altitude by throwing slower rated discs faster.

[davei]

Dave, is the KC Aviar not going to be run anymore? Is the problem temporary or permanent?

We will try to run them again. This will be the third time. We had to scrap 80% of the last run. Not good. I don't know what the problem is, so I don't have a solution yet.

[davei]

Try a Orion LF

: ) :

Both the Orion LF and Starfire are longer TeeBird like discs. Both rims are bigger than a TeeBird, but smaller than a Wraith. Neither are speed 11, but they are close.

I have thrown the Orion LF in the Sirius Plastic. I would say the rim is very close to the teebird "t" or Firebird Rim wide.

Hope that helps.

[gokayaksteven]

orion rim narrower by a relatively good bit compared to the starfire

[20460chase]

I have those as well as yellow and pink.

White, and a bunch of mixed easter egg colors.

Hi Dave,


With all this talk about the KC Aviars, I had a question also. Whats the deal with the non-11x World Champion stamped KC Pro Avairs?

Are theses new ( they feel different ) or are they from the same period when the KC Rocs no longer featured the 11x World Champ stamp?

Could be either. If they are a little grippier, they could be a newer run.

[krazyeye]

What is the status of the new tour bag? Thanks

[20460chase]

Could be either. If they are a little grippier, they could be a newer run.

They do feel grippier, and have a sunken dome, similar to the newest JKs.

Hey Dave,
I remember reading somewhere that the DX plastic was changed and now has a different mix of plastics than older dx discs. I was wondering, assuming that this is true, if this new blend consists has more of the Pro like plastics.

I have two beadless dx aviars that I have just started using this year. My blue dx aviar was bought from Marshall Street earlier this spring and was given to me in almost new condition. When I first got the disc I didn't notice, but later on I realized that it feels almost identical to my 11x kc aviar, but is a little more tackier.
Last week I bought a red dx aviar from marshall street. This one feels like my JK aviar, just a little harder.

So, what is the deal with this dx plastic?

[davei]

Every time I think I know, I have been wrong. It's probably best to ask the guys on the east coast.

[davei]

That's new.

[krazyeye]

On the bag they said "Mid August".

The new DX is a blend that has similar plastic to JK.

Thanks again Sir.

Hi Dave,

I too have a question about the 'new DX' that is hitting the shelves as of late...

Do you have a list of which discs have already been released in the new DX?

Also, could you list an estimated timetable of when we can expect the discs that have not been released yet to become available?

Thanks in advance and I hope this request isn't a burden...

We've done most of the models already, but not all weights and many have not been hotstamped yet. The older stock has to run out before the newer stuff takes its place. It should all be phased in by next year.

[superq16504]

Hey dave what about making a 2006 2nd run 2001 ce roc?

Or a second run 8x roc, or a 2nd time rainbow roc?

Just seems like a good time to bring back the old while embracing the new.

Thanks for the speedy reply, Dave!

I shall be patient...and eagerly awaiting the new DX Roc!!

[Karma Police]

There are new DX rocs out already. Just have to find a place that has them.

[gwailo]

Hey Sleepy, the new DX Rocs are out there. I had one that was a misprint. Some of the J-Bird Big Bird Rocs on Epay are definately new DX. Don't know about others. Ask John if his feel rubbery to the touch like Coyote/Wraith/Beast/Orc.

[sleepyEDB]

Thanks man...I'll do that!


sleepy

[Karma Police]

Some of the J-bird big bird stamped rocs are also of the poppy top variety. I got a few late last year and they were poppy top. Maybe they have stamped more on the new DX.. I don't know. I hate the poppy top rocs so I always have to ask before buying. My friend has a new DX roc and it is grippier/more rubbery and very very flat. Sweet disc.

[Alacrity]

My preference is Innova, I believe they make the most consistent discs and I am quite pleased to have my bag full of their product.

Yeah, I would like to know that as well........ Of course it makes little difference, my preference is and will always be ..... phone is ringing, I will get back later
