Ask Dave Dunipace About Innova Discs

Dave,

You were talking about Pro XD during the spring. Is it close to be made?

[gokayaksteven]

10x teebird is also a fave of mine. the new pro [se] flys similar--but is a little slower [more dome] and floppier [not as stiff] is there a way to make this new pro pastic come out a little stiffer? maybe with less dome as well. just my 2 cents

true- they should mix in some of that kc roc plastic. that might work.

[williethekid]

Is there going to be a run of TL's in the new pro plastic, or any plastic as an actual run( as opposed to CFR)? I like the new teebirds but i'm a bigger fan of TL's. Also do you have an approximate date when the new Pro valk's will be out? Thanks

[davei]

Browntrout, I am not sure what your question is, but if you are asking why the !0X can't be made again, they can. They were a recapitulation of the 8X or Ontario type Roc (even though they do say Rancho Cucamonga). The 10X were run that way because of a request by several of our teem members. The request for the next run was to make them more stable like the Ranchos, so we did. Next run may be back to Ontario depending what Kenny and the other team guys want at the time.

[davei]

Geirod, yes, I think so. Should be made after the current run of Pro Classic Rocs is done.

[davei]

steven, the Pro plasic is naturally domey and when it is mixed with another plastic, it gets softer and grippier. It could possibly be made less domey, and stiffer, but it would have to be mixed with another plastic and would be less grippy.

[davei]

willie, I believe the plans for the TL are to be a TLS for millennium in the same plastic.

Dave, I have been looking for some opaque yellow QJLS (orange ones were good to). Seemed like they were made in early runs? I can only find clear to partially clear yellow/green as of late. Did something change or are they still being made?
Also, would a climate controlled environment (humidity, temp) make a difference in consistency of the disc/plastic or does the machine temp changes during molding have more impact than the environment? Thanks!

[davei]

scoob, most of the opaque jls's are not QJLS. Regular JLS's are all opaque. A climate controlled invironment would certainly help consistency, but controlling the climate in a 20,000 sq ft warehouse would be very expensive. The machine does change temperature as the day wears on and that affects molding too.

[shanest]

I can't wait for the TLS to come! Will there be a QTLS version as well?

[prairie_dawg]

...Will there be a QTLS version as well?

Wouldn't that be a CFR CE TL

[dannyreeves]

Wouldn't that be a CFR CE TL

It would be awesome if there were some Q's made with that opaque Q plastic. The clear would be the same as the CFR TL.

Opaque or clear plastic won't matter to me as long as they fly like TL's and they cost as much as a regular candy disc.

[Plankeye]

Um Dave,

There were some opaque QJLSs made. I have a lot of them and most of them say "QJLS" on the front.

I think he meant to say, did Millenium change plastic too because the older QJLSs were opaque. Currently they are clear/translucent.

[rob]

CFR Glo TLs have "TL" written on the bottom and a sticker with "Glo TLS". So you can buy a candy TLS right now

Plankeye, do you have any of the old QJLS in yellow that you would be willing to trade or sell?
Has anyone thrown the glow CFR T or TL? They look and feel like the old CE's (less domey and stiffer). I just have not thrown one yet. Any insight would be helpful.

[dannyreeves]

I throw the GLO TL. It is great. I love that disc. A little less stable than the CFR TL's but much more grippy very durable.

[quickdisc]

I throw the GLO TL. It is great. I love that disc. A little less stable than the CFR TL's but much more grippy very durable.

May have to check that out. [img]/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

[quickdisc]

I throw the GLO TL. It is great. I love that disc. A little less stable than the CFR TL's but much more grippy very durable.

Does a Glow Starfire exist ?

[williethekid]

When's the TLS coming out?

[quickdisc]

CFR Glo TLs have "TL" written on the bottom and a sticker with "Glo TLS". So you can buy a candy TLS right now

Glow TLS ? What ?

[rob]

Glow TLS ? What ?

We just got CFR discs made for Charlotte Disc Golf Club, (TLs, Glo TLs, Glo Banshees, Starfires, Archangeles, Classic Rocs) and on the bottom of the Glo TLs is a sticker with:
GLO TLS
www.innovadisc.com
Hand written in ink on the bottom:
TL
(wt)
GLO
That's why I said you can buy a candy TLS right now

And as Kid Roc said, it is sweet, so is the CFR Glow T
If you like Teebirds, you will like both of these.

I have a question for Dave.
I found this old innova disc I used to use when I was a kid called a Mirage.

A very small diameter disc with a putter like rim. Very light weight. Just wondering if you had any info on it, like when it was made and its purpose. Thanks Brad

[mf100forever]

Hi,
this is a Aviar Putter mold under another name.

Its alot smaller and has a much different lip than any aviar I have ever used.
Brad

[davei]

Brad, it is an Aviar made of unweighted plastic. These were mainly marketed in Japan. It was one of our first attempts at packaged discs. About 1989. The shape and size is due to the plastic it was molded from.

thats pretty cool, i've never even heard of one untill now.

[vwkeepontruckin]

Are there any other instancs like this one?

[davei]

discin, if you are asking me, yes the Zephyr and Apple were unweighted packaged discs. Although we don't have packages any more, the discs are still available except the Apple.
