Ask Dave Dunipace About Innova Discs

[AviarX]

how long would you guess it will be before i can get my paws on some Star Roadrunners?

Probably several months. We made a decision to delay them. However, I now think a soft Star version would make a nice addition to the line.

[AviarX]

thanks for the reply Dave -- a soft Star Roadrunner sounds like a winner to me, i was just wondering how long i would have to drool thinking about them

i have an SB Roadrunner but as much as i'd love to throw it, it seems best left unthrown...

btw, do you happen to know what disc Mark used for this throw? --

27th (all-time): 2002 Mark Molnar USA El Mirage, CA, USA 198m 649.6ft 216.53yds

[c_trotter]

I think Mark threw a Voyager. Im pretty sure thats what he used for his 190+m throw for the Nevada States. Those discs used to be the best disc for Big D in a tailwind. I could be mistaken on what he threw.

Sorry, I don't know what he threw.

He threw a Lynx for this 12 year standing World Record;

118.90 m ... Mark Molnar to Cheyenne-Ashley Whippet (USA) 10/12/94 Pasadena, CA

BTW, His canine coundn't leave his side until the disc was released...

i just viewed the ad. for the Star Max on p. 68 of the latest DGWN and have to say -- the ads you guys do are great.

[bschweberger]

I haven't seen that one yet, but the Teerex ad in the newest Disc Golf Magazine from Revolution is awesome. It's the one where Kenny is shown in his follow-through pose standing on one leg, and his shadow is in the shape of a T-Rex dinosaur with the slogan, "The Teerex...Don't just throw it, be it."

Dave, how many Christmas disc were made? Thanks

[gokayaksteven]

hey Dave--with the re-tool of the teerex, did you not only notice the dx getting consistantly more [over]stable, but did you also notice much change in the star? thx

[davei]

Dave, how many Christmas disc were made? Thanks

I don't know the numbers, but they are all gone. They went to employees, business associates, customers, etc. Probably around 2000 in all.

[davei]

Yes, both. The Star version has not been run. Only tested. We will probably call the Star Version TeeRexX, put it in TFR, and leave the original alone. The RexX version is only needed by the power guys. There are not that many of those guys out there not playing in tournaments. The DX version is okay in the RexX mold as it gets beat up as it is used, and needs a good stability start.

New Champion Bag Coming Soon
Innova's new Champion Bag is set to begin hitting shelves very soon. Innova employees received bags today and everyone is pretty stoked to make the switch.

The Champion Bag combines some of the most requested bag features, plus some additional features that simply have to be tested to realize their functionality. Available with dual shoulder straps or with single shoulder strap, this bag uses high tech materials and craftsmanship to offer players true functionality on the course. Holds up to 20 discs between main compartment and putter pocket.

The Champion Bag will be in the Pro Shop as soon as they arrive.

Dave,
My bag is literally falling apart as I have been waiting 6 months for this bag to come out. I know you said ZD was handling it, but maybe it's time for you to get involved as many people are anxiously awaiting this bag and its delay has become almost comical. Could you please update us on the progress and give us a projected release date and price? Thanks.

hey Dave,
Whats the difference between the older proto Teerex-X and the new retooled Teerex-X coming out?

[dickybird]

Probably been asked, but are star cobras on the horizon?

[discette]

btw, do you happen to know what disc Mark used for this throw? --

27th (all-time): 2002 Mark Molnar USA El Mirage, CA, USA 198m 649.6ft 216.53yds

Mark Molnar said his 198m throw was with a 150gm Dragon. His 195m throw was with a 150gm Archangel and his 192m throw was with a 167gm Voyager.

hey Dave,

I'm guessing more consistently high speed stable. Some of the TRX protos I threw had slight high speed turn.

Did they have a "SS" or "STX" on the bottom?

[davei]

I think the new version is a tad more overstable.

[davei]

Star Cobras are in the TFR program for now.

STX, heh, that's what i meant! I didn't throw any $$, I mean SS...

I was told they will be inspected around Friday. If they pass inspection, they should be available within a week or so after.

my jaw just hit the ground thanks Discette, it's cool knowing what he did it with. especially since a lot of self-professed big-arms could never finesse anything but an overstable disc very far

This is normally true until you realize that most of the top pro are so good it doesn't matter. You can watch Avery win a distance comp and then go to Japan and play in a 150 class tournament and tie for first.

Dave,

Found a really old aviar today and was wondering if you could help with a date or any type of value on it.

It has 5 - 6 circles around the word Aviar. Beneath Aviar in small letters is flying disc. Around the inner part of the circle has "The leading edge in flying disc tchnology" and then "For disc sports by Innova"

It also has a patent and is a big bead mold.

Thanks for the help.

[flynvegas]

Those were sold in late 80's in a cardboard box. Majority were very light weight. Mint $20, with box up to $60.

[MTL21676]

interesting - I found it in a used bin for 5 bux. IT is used, but not in bad shape.

Thanks for the info.

Dave can you confirm this? How rare is this disc?

The hotstamp sounds like the original package disc that flyinvegals is talking about, however your disc isn't the original. The original discs were around 130 grams, had a single 2" sprue circle, were beadless and came in four to six colors with a gold foil hotstamp. What you have is probably a later big bead with that stamp. I would need to see the disc to confirm.

[MTL21676]

thanks for the info!!

I'm not a collector and I know someoe who is and we both wanted to make sure that we both got a fair deal.
