Ask Dave Dunipace About Innova Discs

[the_beastmaster]

It's on the schedule, but it's been delayed due to production constraints. Probably later this year.

Thanks Dave. I can't wait for this disc. I love the Starfire-X, it's like a longer Teebird which is great. Except I don't like Champion plastic, and the Star version is super overstable. DX would be friggin' great.

[rizbee]

No, sorry, there are no tours.

Maybe someday there will be golden tickets in retail packages of Innova discs that afford the bearer a tour of the factory. I hear they have Oompa-Loompas working the injection mold machines!

[thetruthxl]

Hi Dave!
Since it's official, do you think you could test some star or champ rams for the 2008 worlds?

Dave,

When was the Pro Line Rhyno in production, compared to the Pro Rhyno? And what is the difference?
Thanks

Possible, but I think a more mainstream disc would raise more money. Ram Xs or regulars?

Dave,

Thank you for running some dx BB aviars. I recieved a few last night. they feel great in the hand. I only had a chance to throw a few putts, but they flew just like expected. Keep em' coming!!!

The only difference was the hot stamp. The word "line" was not supposed to be on the stamp. The Pro Line stamp came first and was replaced by the Pro stamp.

Dave, where do we get these? Is there any chance these will ever be standard production?

[c_trotter]

Dave, where do we get these?

They are available for custom hotstamping. Ask you fav. TD to order them. We should have some for GCC in a few weeks. I dont know if any have been sent to TDs. I was lucky to get mine!

[thetruthxl]

No, no...those would be the coveted Trophy Discs!
Most people that I run into have never heard about it, so its a new, mainstream product for them and us old schoolers will get a classic back!
Anyway, I've got to find some more since the snow in The Zoo is cresting a foot!

I have been noticing the dwindling supplies of KC whippets and was wondering if they had been discontinued. If so I need to go get the last 2 that I know where they are at before I have to spend $40 on Ebay for one.

[Karma Police]

I believe earlier Dave did mention that they stopped making them. Just Rocs and Aviars in the KC plastic now. Correct me if I'm wrong Dave....

There are still plenty in stock. Before you go to ebay for any disc, you probably should try mark at discgolfvalues as he tends to specialized in older or discontinued discs. If he doesn't have them, he can probably tell you where to get them.

I've got a lead on tons of them in Grand Rapids. PM me for some info.

Not an Innova question but since you were in the area I thought you may have participated or knew folks related to THIS lid. There is something under the disc and I wonder if it is a mini or maybe a program/entry? Hotstamp artwork is 1986.
The cool little stamp in the cardboard says
"Whizbo Football Championships . Freestyle" with a wave breaking and kelp with a bug nosed sun character in middle. It was " The Official Disc of the Beach Bowl Flying Disc Championships" about 11" in diameter.

I did just email OP to see if anyone there knew.

[robertsummers]

Thanks for the response I went ahead and picked up the two that are here locally and may pick up a few more in the next couple of months.

The reason for my obsesion with this disc is I can't find another disc that has as many uses for me as this one. I use it for overhand, fairways with left finish, skip shots, hyzers when I end up behind trees, wind drivers on holes too short for my Monster, and even kind of as an overstable midrange that way I don't have to carry one. And from the uses listed above I would probably have to change the DX one quite often. But now that my first question has been answered that leads me to two more questions and I promise that I will try to not ask any more about the Whippet.

First I know you said earlier that there was a possibility of a Star Whippet so is there any updated info on that? Second if that is not in the works is there another disc out that can fill the use of the whippet in a premium plastic.

What did you want to know? I did play Whizbo at Huntington Beach. The disc was like a freestyle/ultimate disc made by Jan Sobel of Destiny discs.

[Fossil]

I'm curious what is under the disc? A mini? A entryform/booklet? It has some mass, not a piece of paper or 1/16 inch high something but something that makes a thunk if shaken/ turned over ....
I don't want to tear it open [ruin the packaging] to find out ..... yeah I'm that way. Kind of a funky time capsule kind of thing...
Thanks for so much ...........

Sorry, I never saw one in a package.

[drmontei]

Dave, do you know if you still have any 11x kc aviars in stock?

[pterodactyl]

Dave,
Did you stop making champion cobras? KL

[davei]

Dave, do you know if you still have any 11x kc aviars in stock?

No, we don't. Carolina or discgolfvalues may still have them.

[davei]

Dave,

Yes, we might do some Star in the future. We did a test run that worked well.

[Micah]

Not so much a question but I just wanted to let you know we recently had an Ice bowl in Portland, OR. Avery, Dave, and Chris drove up and played. I cannot imagine three better ambassadors for the sport. They mixed the groups first round giving people a chance to play with the pros, all these guys answered a barrage of questions; from shot tips to tour experiences. Chris even worked with me for 30 minutes on my putting 50' and out. I admire the character of your team members as much as their skill on the course. Thanks-

[pterodactyl]

Thanks, Dave. I better stock up until then. KL

Hi Dave,
I just got some of the new MD-1s from Mark M. They look kind of like Rocs, but I'm not sure when I'll get to throw one. It's zero degrees here in Indiana with a snow storm coming.
Can you please tell us a little about the design. I think the nose is a little different than most Rocs.
Thanks,
Axis

The structure is more like a Shark than a Roc. It flies more like a Roc, than a Shark. It basically has the stability of a Roc with the carry of a Shark.
