Ask Dave Dunipace About Innova Discs

[20460chase]

Hi Dave,

Any chance of a disc for Tim S.?

Sorry for your loss personally and professionally.

[vadiscgolf]

Ya it has a black stamp, and is definitely softer than the bright white version. Mine is new but only weighs 170g unfortunately. Thanks for the info.

[pdorries]

I posted a while back about looking for an innova midrange that flew like a meteor because I saw people throwing meteors for nice long turnover shots.

I tried the coyote, cobra, and beating up some rocs. I never got a roc to beat up enough to hyzer flip up and hold a nice straight line like I wanted.

Bottom line to this story is I broke down and got a meteor and added it to the bag. It is sweeeeeet and flies just like I had hoped for.

Still love my rocs for straight shots that fade left but the meteor is in a class of its own for turnover shots and flip hyzer approaches and drives.

My recommendation would be for innova to try to make a midrange similar to the meteor. I'm sure all of the innova throwers would enjoy it.

The Champion panther flies like it, i went to a metor when they oped making panthers then the brought it back so i took the metor out of the bag, so give that a try or a skeeter.

DX or KC? If I get a new KC, it takes me like 6 months of frequent play to beat it in to my understable roc slot. It's worth it.

[20460chase]

Should try finding a play it again or a used disc seller, non-ebay. They always have some super beat Rocs.

[ChrisEads]

I agree that there is really truely nothing out there like the meteor. I have never been able to consistently throw a hyzer midrange that pops up and flies dead straight or I can even make it turn over with a very long anny. I also request innova to make something similar to this disc.

[flynvegas]

Try a Kite.

[hankdabank]

Or a Skeeter.

[Shags17]

Beat DX Ontario Roc sounds like it would fill that spot nicely

[ChrisEads]

My problem is I dont want to have to beat a disc in to make it fly like I want it too. I want to be able to buy it off the shelf and it fly like it should. Now maybe innova can take half of thier rocs and beat them in for us prior to shipping them but until that I will continue to buy a disc that I can replace immediately and still have that consistent flight with out having to beat in.

[discette]

You could take the advice of others and

A - throw a Panther,
B - throw a Kite
C - throw a Skeeter


You could also throw a Cobra or a Stingray.

With all the above discs, no beating necessary. Good turnovers right off the shelf.

Wrong what? Actually, with a little abuse that would be dead on.

Did they remold this or something? This is where wrong and no would fit.

[mitchjustice]

The new mold is less stable than the original....even more so in the "S" plastic....so yes it was remolded


Any other guesses on the "Halloweeeeenie disc"...it has a San Marino molding on the back...

[hankdabank]

DX Aviar for sure.

totally agree, and none of their suggestions glide like a meteor does, i think they haven't thrown one or they wouldnt be suggesting discs that fly nothing like it. a Kite? cobra? skeeter? you guys haven't thrown a meteor have you...

[ChrisEads]

There is no possible way that any of these compare to a meteor. They all turn like they should but have no where near the glide of a meteor. Try one out and I promise you wont want to ever throw a skeeter,kite or cobra.

[joegraham]

A lighter ROC would do the trick.

[discndat]

Sounds like you just need to throw your Meteor and the Innova throwers throw the ones they feel are doing that for them. There's lots of people out there throwing Innova that don't seem to need the Meteor like you do. Just throw it and they'll throw their Rocs, Skeeters, Stingrays, etc. Unless you're sponsored, what's the deal?

That's fine. I simply posted to follow up on a previous inquiry.

A few months ago I asked on this same thread about what midrange would fly like that. I tried many of the suggestions of other people but didn't have any success finding the flight pattern I was looking for. So after trying a lot of Innova stuff (because I personally love their drivers and the kc aviar) I broke down and got a meteor.

I made the post about the meteor to: 1. Maybe convince other people who were on the fence about throwing discraft midranges to try em out. 2. Ask Dave if he would consider making a midrange that flew like that to expand the innova line

[gokayaksteven]

where is Dave?

holed up running champ gators?
