Here's a pretty good topic...

Barry won the PDGA worlds last year so he gets to have a second disc added to his signature series. Players who have a signature disc get a few pennies per disc (.10 to .25) not sure.

When Barry won last time he chose the 'Beast'. I'd say that it sells pretty well but driver models get replaced yearly by the newer, faster, longer models and sales die out.

Climo hit big with aviars, and rocs... they will be top sellers for ever. Tee-Birds have hung strong but seem to be an anomoly. The KC cheetah isn't a huge seller, KC firebirds don't fly off the shelves (or do they? litterally? anyway...) KC Banshee not a big seller since the advent of the firebird. KC Gazelle... haven't seen too many of those in peoples bags.

so....

The choice for Barry's second signature disc would seem to point to the Orc... but... won't the Orc be old news in a year when the next great driver comes out?

I would lean towards getting a Schultz aviar in some different type of plastic... like the JK series did. This could be a seller for years to come... but would Innova do that for him? Prolly not.

What do you think Barry should do?

Innova seems pretty adamant about not making DX big beads any more.

I would suspect it would need to be a disc he throws. Barry was talking up the Leopard in his PDGA Radio interview, so perhaps the Schultz Leopard.

I think that the leopard would make a descent choice. It has held up as a fairly popular driver for some time now.

Feb 07 2005, 11:43 AM
The Leopard does seem like a good choice. It's frequently suggested as a beginner's disc or a roller, more so that the Gazelle. Beginners like stuff with pro's names on it. Him actually throwing it is a bouns.

The Sidewinder might be a good choice. Sure there are new distance discs that come out all the time, but how many of them are designed as turnover discs or rollers? It will probably be replaced eventually, but not as quick as some of the other drivers.

The Spider might be good. I'll bet that if he can talk them into pushing it more they could get a lot of people to consider it instead of a Roc because of how much more available they are in premuim plastic.

It might be a bit more of a gamble but I bet if he could convince Innova to make a Barry Shultz Champion Gator it might be a popular disc.

Feb 07 2005, 11:46 AM
it would need to be disc he uses. i dont think barry uses the gator or spider. he's got ROCS :D

Understable drivers don't seem to have a very good track record. Some that come to mind are Eclipse (was the bomb until something more stable came along), Archangel (never heard of it? just another understable driver), Reapers, Stingrays, Cheetahs, Gazelles (some were stable), etc...

Feb 07 2005, 12:42 PM
The KC Firebirds were great sellers until they discontinued the plastic. I really wouldnt count on him getting a Sidewinder since Dave D. said it may surpass the Stingray or Orc as the most produced disc.I cant see Innova giving him the Orc or the Shark. A Leopard would be cool, if it wasnt one of the newer ones.I think itd be cool if they ran off some Leopards in the old CE and sold them with a Schultz stamp and a premium.

I was just making wild, fairly uneducated guesses. I thought it would be fun to suggest discs that aren't the Leopard, which to me seem to be the obvious choice. You're probably right about the Sidewinder.

It is ironc that you picked the Archangel as the disc I haven't heard of because of all the friends I have that play, that's probably the most common disc they all use (big bunch of newbies).

That would be a good disc. I like the starfire.
Thing is....

Innova puts a premium price on starfires. I think they are still $25 and you can only buy them as fundraiser discs at tournaments.

Fundraiser disc: If Innova sponsors your tournament (where you are the TD), in lieu of cash, they send a box of starfires which must (i think) be sold for $25 a piece. Use this cash as sponsorship for your tournament. Great idea.

I think that Schwebby and I even have to pay $25 to get starfires.... anyway... this makes them low volume sales items... Barry would want to pick a high volume seller since he would get paid by the piece.

Feb 07 2005, 03:07 PM
LEOPARD!

I find them to be as useful and versitile as a roc. And just a hair longer off the teebox. I personally carry 5 of them. CE, SE, (old) Pro, Champion, and a DX. All different stabilities. Great for 340ft b-line drives. And rollers.

I think the Shark is supposed to be a broken in Roc out of the box. Lets face it... with so many types of Rocs out there there are plenty of new Rocs you can grab that fly like broken in Rocs.

Kenny might own the TL since it's technically a TeeBird.

If I ever win Pro Worlds (two tries left) I'll take the Rhyno. Ask Heeren... he watched me throw em all weekend. I love the Rhyno.... loooooove the Rhy..... no.......

Teebirds, Rocs and Aviars are the staples of Innova plastic. Those will always be great sellers.

The Leopard has been an average popularity disc since it came out. Not even CLOSE to the level of the Teebird.

Why can you still buy CE Leopards for $30 when Valks, Firebirds and Teebirds are $50 minimum.

I am not trying to say that the disc isn't good enough. I don't like Leopards but I have seen some people throw them well.

If Barry wants to make some cash, he needs a new popular disc.

You are correct that the leopard has only fair popularity, but it has sustained it's fair popularity for a fair amount of time. Orcs are great, but who knows, the new Starshot (or whatever) might be even greater and nobody buys Orcs any more.... this is happening with the beast now.

I agree with you completly Todd. But, it is a business decision and there is some guessing involved. Personally, I think the Orc will stick around longer than the Beast did. I think it is a lot better disc and it will be hard for Innova to top it. Hopefully, they will prove me wrong.

I think that the Leopard and the Shark (sharks arent the most popular but innova accidentally made a run of very overstable sharks that fly a lot like 2001 CE Rocs that were great! I throw one for an overstable midrange) are good choices. The Orc would be a gamble that could pay off. A special type of 'Barry' aviar (big bead) would be fantastic but hard to talk Dunnipace into.

Maybe with the new 'Barry' big bead (the B3... I like that... B-cubed) we could finally win the ice bowl! ;)

I agree the Orc is definitely a popular, hot-seller right now, but maybe with Barry's name and endorsement, the Leopard could see a rise in sales. With Barry singing the praises of the Leopard (listen to the June 21, 2004 PDGA radio news), maybe players (newbies and experienced) would start to think that Leopards were cool because Barry's name is on it and because he throws them. After hearing Barry say that learning a Leopard would "take strokes off your game", I know I became less self-conscious about having one in my bag.

I see countless posts on the message boards from newbies looking for advice on discs and the Leopard is one of the discs that people recommend for new players. There's a pretty large market of newbies, rec and casual players that might be more inclined to follow this advice if they knew that one of the greatest players in the world likes and throws this disc.

In some ways the Orc seems like a no-brainer because it's so hot right now, but I think it would be really cool to see the old Leopard get some glory. If it worked and the Leopard grew in popularity, it would definitely show the marketing potential that Barry has.

Very interesting topic and I can't wait to see what he chooses. :)

Feb 11 2005, 08:17 PM
And when it's on the ground,

It could be a Barry Mini Low.

Feb 11 2005, 09:44 PM
nice :cool:

The Pro Leopard I would have to agree, Revive the leopards legacy. It's very predictable and a MUST have in everyones bag.

Feb 25 2005, 01:47 AM
Sidewinder would be where the money is ... right?

I think it will be a new disc model. Something close to a starfire. On second thought, stick with the safe bet, and a great disc the Leopard.

Feb 25 2005, 05:37 PM
I overheard Barry talking to Ray Murray at the Big Show about this very topic and Barry said he was undecided but he wanted it to be a disc that he throws.

Can't wait to see what he decides.

Are leopards really good sellers?

Barry is the only person that I have seen throwing a leopard in a long time.

:confused:

There are alot of people throwing Leopards down in these short wooded southern courses. They are dead straight out of the box, have a nice slow turn to them, and eventually beat into sweet rollers. I have 4 of them, and am soon going to buy a fifth, a SE Leopard! I personally think alot people would buy it just because Barry endorses it. Plus ALOT of beginners throw Leopards.

I would bet that a new plastic aviar would sell better.

Feb 27 2005, 02:42 PM
If Dunipace is reading-A BS big bead Aviar would be the best choice. The new Pro Aviars just SUCK, the plastic is no good. Discontinue please, and make a run softer than KC and harder than JK. BS AVIAR!!!!!!!!!!!

I love my Leopards, I have been throwing it since 2000.

I listened to the PDGA radio internet broadcast with the "other champ" months ago and remember hearing Barry mention "leopard". This was in the "what it's in the bag?" segment of the interview.

I went out and got a leopard that week and have loved it ever since.

Leopard gets my vote, advertising works.

That is of course if he doesn't choose my earlier advice of the "Barry Mini" which I still thinks he'd cash forever with.

Check out the photo's above

Elite & Professional players

From researching extensivly over the MANY discgolf web sites that I've been searching through, IF you really wanted to work on your long distance drives.

Using the Base 10 method. And executing a consistant GRIP, REACH Fully BACK, PULL straight THROUGH, and RELEASE. With a pretty consistant Rip.... a SNAP.

You could max out your distance DRILLS using the old plastic more better than candy plastic.

using:

DX Orc
DX Valkyrie
DX Beast
DX T-Bird
G1i Saber
Leopard

What Is your choice of these Disc's?

The Champion Leopard was one of the first champion plastic's to hit the martket and could very well be the Cream of the crop, is this true?

Having 12 Of the same disc {for training purposes only}

The DX Plastic's of the for mentioned Disc's above, And the champion Leopard should be the main focus for disc's used for maximum distance TRAINING, could this be said, to be true?
Also having that many disc's of one kind, you'd really never have to worry about losing your main disc and have to mess with the ever changing candy plastic's syndrome.

WHAT Are your thoughts on type's of plastic, and Disc's

For over-all maximum Distance?

Does ANY body know how I can contact Barry Schultz?

I was curious if there was any development in this? Did Barry get a new disc yet?

I am now in line with the Bulldog. This thing is a sick putter. If you dont know, you better find one.

They are not going to change the mold for the Leopard are they? It is a great disc.

They're going to put a Tee Bird bottom on it and call it the B.S. Leopard "T"...!

Barry has chosen the Champion Leopard as his next signature disc. It will be released once the current stock has sold out.

This may be a stupid question, but what will be the difference be between the Champion Leopard and the BS Leopard?

Champion Leopards rock. I throw em for big annie distance. I also throw them for anything straight that I need good glide and minimal fade. They are also awesome for long hyzers. Throw with more hyzer than youwant and they fadeto a lesser hyzer and hold the line like a plane taking a bank turn. Not really a hyzer, but a powered turn.

I am often amazed at the distance I get uphill with the Champion Leopard. I had abirdie putt today on Renaissance Gold 5, a long uphill tunnel shot outdrove the righties who were throwing teebirds. nothing flies uphill like a leopard!
